Hypothetically if I'm attracted only to fictional on-screen women characters written to be objectified, and not attracted to real people with real...

If you mean that rhetorically, got it. If you meant it literally like why would anyone literally want that, there are two answers:

One is that it’s kind of like the difference between loving a stuffed animal and loving a real pet; the latter is ALIVE with its own unpredictable ways and when they express love to you it can be delightful.

The other, more important distinction, is that of choice. A real live person can CHOOSE to love you, and that feeling of being CHOSEN to be loved is extremely empowering. A fictional character cannot choose, and so the love you feel is very one-sided.

At the risk of sounding like a weirdo, there’s something similar with sex- in my twenties it was all about hormonal, animal style kind of coupling. In my forties there is a deeper focus on consciously choosing to give/take pleasure or allow/receive pleasure. Neurotransmitters do not do justice to the different QUALITY of the two kinds of pleasure.

I suspect you already know this but was being rhetorical, but laying it out anyways for maybe other readers.
