Is there a name for the phenomenon whereby people think that if they haven't personally seen something, then it must not exist? It's not object permanence, because NPCs clearly demonstrate object permanence. But I mean, so do cats and dogs. It's not quite solipsism, because solipsism is an intentional belief. It's...something in between.
It's worse, no? They probably have seen a plehtora of examples but they don't recognize it. Like someone said, these fucking romance novels are a massive industry and the men in these are sexualized and objectified to hell and back.
