In the case of revenge porn, there's an image of a real person. By contrast, fictional content doesn't affect actually show a real person, so any attempt to prohibit fictional revenge porn must target images that merely look similar to a person. What degree of similarity is required to qualify? That dimension isn't a factor in real revenge porn.

This isn't really a novel dimension in the first place, I don't think. It's just rarely an issue in practice, because most people who post these images do so to shame and embarrass the depicted person. No doubt there will be edge cases where a sexualized image of consenting person A gets taken down because they look similar to non-consenting person B - but is that really a big problem?
