Are you afraid of liking a male character?

Because I've seen many men who are afraid of liking a crossdressing anime character, also I've read a lot of angry comments saying: why is he a man?!!! I hope that [name] turns into a woman!!!
I think that such people are just doubting about their sexuality and feel insecure about liking a fictional character of their same sex, they are scared of their feminine side and can't accept it.
What do you think? Are they insecure about their sexuality? What about you?

THIS QUESTION APPLY FOR GIRLS TOO

No. As a person who watches a lot of shounen anime, I have no qualms when I like a male character. Besides, I don't give a crap about the people speculating on my sexuality...

HURRAY FOR FREE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! XD

Well, you dont need to take it as far to doubting sexuality.

To answer...no.

Are you on about traps or what? And what do you mean by afraid?

I like both male and female. However, I wouldn't commit to a relationship with either in real life. What would I be classed as? I don't have a fucking clue.
Looking for a character or a certain Anime/Manga?
Looking for recommendations?

I guess this topic wasn't directed to females. Anyway, if a female character turns out to be a guy who cares. Same if a guy character turns out to be a girl (which has only happened to me once)

No.

I do have a problem with a character's gender being switched at any point though - unless it's very relevant or makes sense in the context which is very rare (such as Ruka). If it doesn't fit that criteria then it's just fucking inconsistent bullshit fanservice pandering and that's never not annoying.

If the character has a dick, it should always have a dick. If it doesn't, it never should.

Lol there honestly been a couple times where I am attracted to a character who ends up being a male. I feel weird but the comedy of all the other male characters liking him as well eases the tension lol

I'm not afraid to liking any type of character.

The problem is that the majority of BAD characters are in fact male characters.

Especially in school anime and harem anime....they are dreadful!

Oh , boy , you want to go psychological ......
It's simple , very simple .
they are scared of theyr feminine side

I dont want to understand what you're talking about but men and womans tend to fall for appearences , if it looks very feminine it doesnt mean that dude that fall for it it's gay and he's afraid to admit it , it means he fall for the appearence . There you have it.....a logical explanation .

That pretty much answered the questions too.....

This thread is so hilarious.

Even I have more female favorites than male favorites in my favorite character list, I seriously want to search a male character that he'll fit into my liking and Tennouji Kotarou from Rewrite appeared in which he's the best protagonist that I've ever encountered and I don't think anyone can beat his awesomeness. Tomoya, Okabe, and other male protagonists that are considered the best are nothing compared to Kotarou(At least, in my opinion).

I'd be disturbed if I start to want their D.

Otherwise, I'm pretty okay liking them for their outer appearance.

I read the OP title as 'Are you afraid of killing a male character?' and I thought... well, I didn't really think anything.
But no, I'm not. I'm not insecure about my sexuality. And it's stupid to lie to yourself that you don't like a certain trap/crossdresser, if you do.
The only thing you can rely on is that you can't rely on anything.

Just because you glorify traps doesn't mean everyone have to like them in order to not look "insecure" of their own sexuality.

Are traps really that common to the point that you become afraid of liking male characters? I've only seen one anime so far that has what you might call a 'trap'...

The solution then is to not watch so many school and harem anime, which of all the types of anime out there are the most likely to be full of cliches, fanservice, bad characters, ridiculous writing, etc.
