I think the main reason of most people watching anime is that it's always much better than reality.
The same is with the characters, they are always better than real people, better looking and having ideal personalities. Never afraid of anything and always ready to fight.

That is true. We need to accept the reality - the 3D world we're living in. Real people with flaws. Cowards and fake people. And our boring lives.
This is what live is about...


um... ALWAYS better?... uh... come on bruh...



I'd rather live in Tokyo Ghoul or AOT universe fighting side to side with Mikasa and Touka, than having to deal with people. he-he

no! I will never betray my Waifu ~ <3

anyways

OP in the same boat with ya.

It's perfectly fine to be attracted to an anime guy, as long as you clearly draw a line between what's fake and what's real

As stated by other peoples and from a conversation I had earlier, perfection is something some people long for when it comes to romantic/sexual feelings.

Alot of people laugh at this kind of situation but in reality it really is something serious that can affect your life rather it be on a small scale or a large one

Well I know this problem sounds pretty weird.

But I feel attraction only towards anime characters (I'm a girl).
I'm not a teenager or anything, I'm 20 years old. I had been in a relationship for the longest time, but had to break up, since I felt that humans turn me off (guys, men, anything).

It started when I was a kid, I always crushed on cartoon/video game characters, and never liked real people (actors, etc)



I won't ask if it's normal, because HELL no, It's messed up. But I'm curious, has anyone else faced this problem?
Do you have a crush on anime characters, and how serious is it?



P.s I'm being totally serious.


I used to feel this way, until I started watching hentai. Now, I feel totally opposite of how you feel. In all honesty, you shouldn't be ashamed. It's normal to have this type of problem, but as far as having a crush on certain characters in anime, I never had this problem. Plus, I don't think it would be that serious because sometimes, from my own episodes, most of the "prettiest" girls in anime have a tendency to do the most ugly things. So you should be okay.

Do you have a crush on anime characters, and how serious is it?

P.s I'm being totally serious.

I somewhat can relate to you. I mean, I do attracted to real people, actors and such. But I never been so obsessed in a way I obsessed over 2D characters. I never do crazy stuff for any real guy, but I did for some 2D character.

I'm female 23 years old. Already graduated from univ, but still unemployed. I do some character designing for a side job so even though I'm technically unemployed, I don't rely on my parents anymore for money.

My first obsession is with the character Trafalgar Law. But my love for 2D characters is long before that. I'd say Dante from the game Devil May Cry is where my love for 2D characters started going beyond normal.

I don't have friends that share the same interest as me, at least not on my level of nerdiness.

How serious is it in my case?

Let's go back to Trafalgar Law. My obsession make me enrolled in Japanese Literature for my major because I wanted to go to Japan and gets close to the origin of my obsession. And so, I studied hard and got scholarship to live in Japan for one month and a half in 2015. I bought a lot of Trafalgar Law related merchs including clothing, keychains, doujins, and pillows (not dakimakura because I don't know how to explain that to my parents if I bought one lmao)
Please note, that I'm poor, at least not rich enough to be able to go overseas, and so I thought if I want to go to Japan, I need to get scholarship.
My second chance came this January, 3 months in Saitama. I finally get to visit One Piece Museum in Tokyo Tower where there is LIVE SIZED TRAFALGAR LAW STATUE. I've been wanting to go "meet" Law for ages and I finally did with no little effort.

My point is, all motivation in my life at this point come from some 2D character. Even when I'm down, or sad, or upset, one look at some Law fanarts, Law smiling, it's enough to cheer me up.

That's how serious my obsession is.

But the thing is, I still do feel attraction towards real guy.
I'm nearing the ideal age for women to get married in my country, and I dreaded it. Because, all I imagine in my honeymoon is I want to make my future husband to cosplay as Law and what if I screamed Law's name instead of him?!!!!!!!! I'm doomed. Is what I thought right now. I'll feel bad for my future husband.

Anyway!

It's messed up. Just like what you said.
And I don't know about you but I'm expecting myself to "wake up" from this eventually. But I just can't see it yet how will I "wake up" from this.

I actually thought, what if I met some guy who is just as messed up as me and ask me to cosplay as his waifu? I'll let him as long as he will cosplay as Law too lol

Actually my Law obsession has mellowed out a lot, and now it's replaced by one Bakugou Katsuki. I always thought Law's place is irreplaceable, but now I'm not so sure anymore. During my Law obsession, I branched out quite a bit (Bucky Barnes, Levi, etc). But with Katsuki, the last time I feel this attached towards some character is with Law.

TL;DR there you go. I believe there is more cases worse than mine (and yours). Even though how much I love Law, I don't have anything like Law Altar or something like that lmao. But it's probably just because I don't have any privacy at home (I don't have my own room!!!) and I'm broke. So there is that.

I am attracted to actual people, but I would say I'm just as attracted to animated and video game characters.

When someome is COMPLETELTY naked it turns me off. They look... nasty to me.

Not to be the ass in the situation but... this thread is pathetic.
So many people ''relating''.

You do know that it's not that ''every real person on earth is annoying''. It's that you can't deal with them, you can't do any decent conversation as long as it doesn't involve your own hobbies and nothing else. I'd be willing to bet all (figuratively, not literally all of you, just saying before a smartass jumps in) of you here are extremely asocial.

Assumptions, judgemental, yada yada. Whatever, I am confident it's the truth.

Even if the thread itself is bait, to me everyone who can truly relate to this is pathetic.

I was also attracted more into Anime or Videogames characters a long time ago. I'm not that attracted to them anymore. Of course some characters have great personalities or are really good looking. I have some virtual crushs but I don't feel seriously attracted to them. I still do like real persons more because they are real.

I'm not your psychologist, but I think it's something one can just get used to. Uncensored porn, nudist beaches, nudist beach porn... just spend some time watching the stuff and get used to it.
If it doesn't help, consult an actual doctor.

This should be of interest to some.



It concerns Plato's recollection on Art in the context of his Philosophy. Art can be the copy of a copy, or a better copy of the Idea, the Truth of the Universe, than reality could ever be. (Digmion Tri. opening scene references exactly this, the one with the egg-looking thing and the ominous voice.)

I hate men (including myself), think that girls are those things in the anime that go "tootooroo", and have a waifu that is the only person I've ever loved. I don't think this is okay, but I don't know what to do about it.

NOTE: If you're thinking of giving advice, I recommend against it. You are not a psychologist, and most likely any normie or simple "solution" I will dismiss out of hand.

Please don't use words like "pathetic". It's really hurts me
But, you're probably just an asshole and gonna something like, "you're pathetic for getting your feelings hurt on the internet". Which is complete BS, btw.

I'm autistic so it's no surprise I have trouble relating and communicating with other people. I can't do it myself and I've never been taught the skill. I always have to observe other people's behavior and try to imitate them. People like me need help with these things. When people like you say things like that, it only hurts and offends people. It's not helping anyone so why are you saying it?

If you're that self aware, then it really should be easy for you. My step-brother is autistic and yet he's extremely social.

I am saying it because these kind of people annoy me. Not the lack of communication skills or anything.

Those that really have no disability but are incapable of doing absolutely anything related to socializing, and instead of admitting that, they are acting like cowards and blaming the world and how ''terrible real people are''.
Pathetic people make pathetic excuses. They just don't have enough social skills to get to the good part of life.

As for you, there are few cases like you and I do try to put myself in your position, people like you do need ways to cope better, I am fine if people who can't socialize because a certain condition just really won't allow them to do it properly. In that case, it just can't be helped.

But anyways, you do seem rather self aware for an autistic person, I'd say your case of autism isn't that severe. I have a couple of autistic friends, and most of them are able to socialize normally, takes a bit of effort but they take the extra step.

And if I say the harsh truth, it might actually struck a cord in someone and make him re-think what he's doing really.
(Also, this as a bonus to most of you who make petty excuses that real people are disgusting so you avoid them.
If you remain a virgin for the rest of your life, you would be the only one in your whole bloodline that never got laid.)

They won't help you with that matter because they don't believe you to begin with. Speaking from experience, they'll just think you make things up / fooling yourself to feel better because you're sad that you don't have a partner. The only "help" you'll get from them is "just go outside and talk to people, go to a picnic".

You might have too high of standards from too much anime so I recommend not watching anime or reading manga, or even playing video games for two weeks, and only watch live action shows, just binge a few of them. You might get used to humans again and fix everything. I also recommend going to do something social a bit too so you can interact with other people. This could be a serious problem caused by too much social isolation, so what I suggested may help.

That's all I need really.
If you really want to be in a relationship, give real people a try again, but there's absolutely nothing wrong if you want to go your own way and be independent.

I don't think you should fret too much about it to be honest. It really could be you love the idea that the characters stand for, and those ideas are hard to manifest in real people.

I'm sure someone will come along irl that will sweep you off your feet, haha :). I think it's all about just getting out there and finding someone. With so many people in our world it's only natural that like 99.999% of them are incompatible and finding the right person is difficult.

It started when I was a kid, I always crushed on cartoon/video game characters, and never liked real people (actors, etc)

I won't ask if it's normal, because HELL no, It's messed up. But I'm curious, has anyone else faced this problem?
Do you have a crush on anime characters, and how serious is it?

P.s I'm being totally serious.


It is weird, creepy, and messed up. Why don't you go and talk to some anime characters about it then? Don't you feel the controversy between humans 'turning you off' and talking to them about your problems? Is this even a problem for you, though? You seem to be okay with it.

Just to stay on topic, yes, I do feel some attraction towards characters, but there's nothing more to it, really. I think there's nothing wrong with that, but this hating humans thing is fcked up.

I am attracted to anime guys because I think anime guys are really hot than the human ones. There are real guys I think are beautiful but I am only attracted to anime guys because they are physically really hot and they also have nice personality.

BonaNya, I don't think there's anything wrong with you or you're a loser or anything. There are all kinds of people in this world, as long as you're not hurting anybody it's all good. If you are happy this way then I don't think anything necessarily needs to change, but you should accept the fact that most people, when told this, are going to have a less than understanding reaction. Unfortunate, but it's how people are. Secondly, I think that it's important to have self-awareness about why you're attracted to anime characters. Is it because you have deep feelings for them and so it's more or less like being in a relationship with someone who simply is "far away" physically (so it's more or less like seeing them as a regular person simply not directly accessible in our dimension), or, do your feelings actually exist because they are away from you, i.e, an otherness, something that cannot be achieved in daily life? In the case of the former, again, nothing's wrong with you unless you end up completely losing grip on reality, BUT, these sorts of feelings are going to cause you a lot of heartache simply due to your loved one being unreachable. In the case of the latter, that is, if you prefer fictional characters BECAUSE they are fictional, I think some more psychological introspection is needed. In this case the preference is likely because more "perfect" traits are projected onto a character, you don't have to face rejection (from them), don't have to deal with daily life with them, communication problems etc...Basically, if you prefer fictional characters because they can't hurt you, I urge you to keep really thinking about this issue, because the truth is, really, truly being in love with a fictional character DOES hurt you. It's a very painful, lonely experience, you can end up losing friends and starting to question your own sanity. If one were at all able to choose one's feelings, I would for sure say romantic involvement with a real person hurts far less comparatively, even if it were to go wrong (talking about on average - not talking about crazy abusive stalker partners here).

No judgement here, just some things for you to think about. I hope I was able to make some sense. You can message me if you feel you need to talk.
