Is this enough for Reality-Fiction Transcendence?

[McFriesGuy075]

This guy lives in the Real World, who views Pepsiman's world as fiction. Well, that's it, no further context.
The only unusual stuff that happens is music coming out from a Pepsi can, and him possibly seeing Pepsiman's world through the can as some sort of clairvoyance, but it's vague.

How does his experience with Pepsiman's world change him or his perspective on reality?

It doesn't, i guess. The only things he says relating to Pepsiman's world is through fourth wall breaks that tells the player to start the game, also "Pepsi for TV-Game". The rest of it is just him watching Pepsiman on a television and doing silly stuff, he's just as unhealthily obsessed with Pepsi as everybody else in Pepsiman's world is.

No

There ins't any proof of an actual existential transcendence of the Pepsi guy over the game's world, it is similar to this:

• The Real World from Sword Art Online/The Matrix: Despite the fact that the humans in the real world view the baseline realities (Sword Art Online and The Matrix) respectively as fictional simulations/games, they do not qualify for an R>F difference as the characters are never treated as transcendent compared to the game.

So it’s like a meta-commentary on the nature of obsession, without diving too deep into character development?

As far as the original question goes, it does sound like Reality-Fiction Transcendence. You’ve got two layers: the real world and the fictional Pepsiman world. The vagueness actually adds a layer of intrigue; it's like a subtle thread connecting these two realities.

The distinction lies in how "reality" interacts with the fictional world. If there's no true transcendence and it's more about fourth-wall breaks and comedic interactions, it probably doesn’t meet that existential transcendence criteria. It’s a fun gimmick and a meta-narrative, but doesn’t elevate the character's existence beyond that framework. I see now

 

[McFriesGuy075]

The fourth wall breaks don't exactly play a part here. It's about the Real World being a higher reality than Pepsiman's world. Which I don't see how it's contradicted since nothing from Pepsiman's world directly affects the Real World and vice versa.

It's about the Real World being a higher reality than Pepsiman's world.

Nothing on your comment proves that
