Control. It all boils back to the need to control a living being; whether the weeb in question genuinely sees those they're controlling as a human or not.

"I woke up in bideo bame world" is a shortcut to "everyone here is 'NPCs' and therefore it's okay to exploit them." so-true

This has given me an idea for at the very least a short story that plays out like your average Kyle video game isekai power fantasy for the first little bit only for the example to try and pull the kind of shit he'd pull in Skyrim and gets his gut turned into a crossbow's bolt quiver for it because even if the universe's logic works like a video game, these are still people and you just tried to rob a borderland merchant
