| what is your opinon on having/developing feelings for fictional characters in an anime? by feelings I mean romantic feelings that pull together all the romantic thoughts you have in your mind onto that character, meaning that you want to be with her/him I know guys who have affection for anime girls, eagerly doing all sort of stuff to get that immersion (such as using VR, buying bodypillows etc) and I know there are people who totally abandoned their distinctive intuition and prioritized them over girls/guys in reality (not just 2d>3d but totally asserted the mentality that made them believe they are born to be attracted to 2d characters), preferring to give them all their romantic/sexual desires and feelings what is your thoughts on this? |
| i can't go full on because while they can have like 40 million variants of Momo daki slips, there's not a single one of Run it's fucking stupid it's not only stupid, but it's also dumb |
 |
| why does it matter if people think its wrong? you do you no one is being harmed cause you're attracted to a fictional character that's supposed to be attractive |

Even if I suck their dick, it's not gay as long as I don't swallow their cum. I dated a butch lesbian once. Now he's a he. Is what it is. I think the attachment is fine to an extent. An extent! |
| Of course not. It's natural that you should love and carimg to your waifu/husbando |
 |
| Dated and hung out with girls who resemble Chie so that's my cop-out/excuse. |
 |
| Personally I think it's a problem... They aren't real... Become attached to them is pretty much admitting you've given up on any human interaction and pretty much life in general... It's all escapism, trying to hide from reality, not facing pain and hardship, but people just make it harder for themselves without realizing that just accepting your pains is easier than cutting butter with a hot knife |
| The same thoughts I have for people projecting such things on famous persons (included actors, based on their roles). It's weird and doesn't bring anything but illusions. Long_Ng said: if someone tell me they never cry watching a movie, playing a game, reading a book getting attach to a fictional character, then i would say he/she is missing out big time Emotional response to a fiction doesn't require attachement to the animated or incarnated or words puppets who exist to serve the story who is told. Plus, there is the empathy thing. |
| Well it all depends If everyone else likes him/her too If not then your just a total idiot with shit taste |
| it's called empathy and there is nothing wrong with it... obsession however is what make it bad... |
 "If taking responsibility for a mistake that cannot be undone means death, it's not that hard to die. At least, not as hard as to live on." |
| Is it wrong ? No. I don't think so . There is nothing wrong as long as you don't go overboard . |
| Writers want you to care about their characters, so it just means they've done their job if you're attached to them. |

| Okay... VR and dakimakuras seems okay, but if you think that you can live your life too attached to your favorite character, it will go all wrong. Use it as support, to spur you up, but dont get over obsessed. If those guys already dont want to live in reality... They're gone. I too have such thoughts, but i dont go obsessed with it |
| Life isn't as fun and easy as anime. Watch anime to bring that fun!! |
| I can understand and agree with a lot of "2D > 3D" arguments, but I can't imagine having real romantic feeling towards specific character. Having some kind of crush or wanting to fap to them is one thing. Actual love is a bit more complicated feeling. I think vast majority of those people who marry their waifus are doing it for fun. Ofc that's just speaking about romantic feelings. Feeling empathy towards fictional character is normal and pretty much required to enjoy some stories. |

| If you want me to judge, yes. If you care more about yourself than your social image, then no. But people would still say yes. |

| As long as you don't harm anyone with your behaviour (and you maintain that affection in clandestinity), it's all okay. |

| Is It Wrong To Be Emotionally Attached To An Anime Character? |
"When you made this thread, I cried and screamed" -Swagernator 2017 |
| Of course not, I'd still smash 3Ds tho. I have dakis and other mech of my waifu; but still i'm worried about myself because i have like a room full of my waifu merch. |
Why do we have to live in such a cruel world?  |
| Emotional attachment is good. It shows you are invested in the character, which means you can enjoy the anime more. Keep every obsession in moderation and to yourself, maybe mention it occasionally. Don't need to shove it down everyone's throat and call everyone who disagrees a pleb with shit taste (yes, even if it's true). |
| If your favourite character is Tsutsukakushi Tsukiko, you are my soul mate. Been a long time since I've been here, I'll continue expressing myself freely and believe everyone should too. My MAL Interview |
| Maybe if its a well written character. If its character like Hatsune Miku, they are pretty weird. |
 |
| It's not wrong to be emotionally invested in fictional things. I mean, billions on this planet believe, love, and fear the holy spirit. |

| yes.. since video game characters have more fun to offer [goes back to touhou harem] |
 |
| No it's not as long as you don't call them my waifu/husbando |
  "elles sont bien noires les pensées des nuits blanches"  |
| smash 3d, cherish 2d. date 3d, love 2d. |
| It seems... really silly to me that some people are saying 'if you still feel things about a character after you've finished their series there's an issue'. Being attached to characters or having favourites that stay your favourites even after you've moved on to other series is normal... Seems to me people harmlessly fantasizing about characters is, well, harmless as well. Characters can't be substitutes for real people, but you should never try to make them so. Fiction and real life are different. It's normal to think about fiction. |
| As long as you are not absolutely crazy for a Anime character and don't care for other things. It's your decision what you like and what not. Nobody can't stop you. |
 I will not believe that everything is controlled by fate. ll X ll |
| Nope It's the safest option. Especially if your character is from an unpopular show, buying merch of it won't hurt your wallet as much as having a girlfriend (or boyfriend) would. |
 |
| You have an schediophilia! Well sorry that's incurable, But that's a proof that you are a real anime fan. |
A real person who loves lots of 2D persons  |
| people are perverts and obsess over anything for some stupid reason and so do you. You are at home here in MAL. You should try girls tho, girls are nice, their tits are soft and their pussies are warm. |

| Its not wrong because that's what the writer intended is it not |
| Just gonna ignore that extreme example, but anyway I feel that characters you can connect with in some way are a pretty important factor for fiction in general. |
 |
| Well gee, I sure hope not because have you seen my favorites list? I'm attached to all those 2D boys in some way or another. |

| No, it's actually a good thing for the sake of this planet since it is overpopulated anyways. |
| I don't give a fuck man, people can do whatever with their fandom. |
| It's not wrong, but it's stupid. I guess it's okay to see an anime character as some kind of idol, like: "when I grow up I want to be like him/her". But having romantic feelings for a character is just nonsense, and you probably won't have a bright future if you prefer 2d characters over 3d people. Unless you set a 2d character as some kind of standard and say to yourself: "I refuse to have any kind of romantic relationship with anyone who's not at least as beautiful as xxxxx(insert your waifu's name here)". By doing this you're actually doing a very smart thing because then you won't have a romantic relationship with an ugly person, and you will do your best to become a beautiful and wonderful person so that you can have a romance with another beautiful and wonderful person. |

| Hmm. I'm impressed people can go so far tbh. I want to escape from this reality so bad, I kind of envy them. When I was a kid, I "fell in love" with fictional characters all the time. Recently, I've had strong feelings for Tamahome in the Fushigi Yuugi manga I've been reading. Also, every time I have a dream about an anime character professing his love to me, I have strong feelings for them for about a week or so until the dream dissipates into the recesses of my memory. The last one that hit me like this was Kuroko Tetsuya. |
