Firstly

>WTF

Secondly, fanfic isn't written in beautiful poetry and filled with some of the most piercing analysis of the human condition the world has ever seen. Case closed. Move on.

Because Dante is a spectator, not the protagonist.

Because the point of those works are the things the author-insert is visiting. The works usually serve as a kind of argument for or explication of ideas. They are observers and questioners, not central figures.

With fanfics the point is a certain cathartic/orgasmic stimulation the reader/author is getting from the plot. It's wholly lower ego, libido stuff. They assume the center or important roles in the plot.

It's the difference between a somebody showing you their rack of barbells and somebody showing you a rack of sex toys.
