Well, let me ask you, just because you do not distinguish between reality & fantasy do you expect everyone to be bound by the same condition?

First of all, you are not answering my question. Second of all, you are ignoring my post where I argued about fantasy and fairy tales and imaginations being part of one person's universe of ideas; if a certain idea/feeling/propensity is wrong/moral/evil, then this applies for all parts, including fantasy.

So, back to the Vampire thing - is playing the Witch-king or Sauron in a M-e role-playing or strategy game (a computer or board game of which there are a few around) & throwing oneself into the game with gusto 'immoral'? Is choosing to play such a character an immoral act? Or do you think the player is capable of thinking 'Its only a game'? In the same way is a reader who chooses to side with Morgoth actually 'immoral'?

It is one thing to enact a character, it is another to adhere to the character's system of values. I hope that answers your questions.
