The concept involves an individual transplanted to a different reality who leverages pre-existing creative works from their original world, presenting them as their own in this new environment. An illustration of this might involve a person recreating a famous song or story from Earth within a fantasy realm, gaining recognition and potentially material rewards for what is perceived as original content within that reality.
The perceived benefits of such an action could include rapid social advancement and economic gain. Historical analogues exist in various forms of cultural appropriation throughout history, albeit without the interdimensional aspect. However, the ethical considerations are significant, revolving around authorship, intellectual property, and the potential disruption of the new world’s own creative ecosystem.
