Notes
edit- ^ Literally "there is no one inside", the phrase is used in reference to fictional characters to show an intent to ignore that there is a real person behind them, fixating on the character instead. It might be used for example for an anime character being voiced by an actor or an online gaming avatar being controlled by a person.[1][2]
