Oh yeah I watched a video like that. It was about 2 people who got married to Hatsune Miku. They're called fictosexuals from what I've heard.
While I'm not that down bad as to marry a fictional character, we all have that favorite one we like, a waifu y'know?
It's also been a long while since I've felt any romantic attraction for others (except for my wife of course) as I'm not interested in a relationship right now, but I'm definitely not choosing them over a select few of my family.
I personally don't care if you have romantic feelings for a fictional character as long as it isn't hurting anyone. Even the guys in that video acknowledge that Hatsune Miku isn't real. Just be sure to be grounded in reality and live with a healthy social life.

yeah i get what you say, btw in not in love with a drawing, as much as i like vtubers we must know where the line is between enjoying someone and obsession. Technology is achieving a reality that is way more likeable than the real one lmaoStomiks wrote:

Japan found the perfect solution to overpopulation: make weebs fall in love with fictional characters
no, and its very unnatural to be more attracted to drawings made by guys in their 30s than actual people
sometimes (steven is the one i obsess over lol <3)

Its kind of the point for a lot of the fictional characters to be more attractive than really possible irl, features and personality traits exaggerated or simplified to increase their attractiveness and get/keep eyes on the work.
But emotional and social needs aren't met by how pretty a png is, so people irl are attractive differently for me and the knowledge that the characters aren't real keeps me from ever getting that attached to fictional characters and I don't see that changing. As for vtubers, I just see them as streamers, and while I can still find them and their models attractive I have the 2 braincells needed to avoid an unhealthy parasocial relationship.
I haven't been in love either, though I'm pretty sure that's because of alexithymia (just didn't realize my crushes to ever do anything about it) and social anxiety causing me to keep most people away. I am still attracted to people though, and have realized I'm probably not aromantic and crave that kind of relationship, I just don't feel it as strong as others seem to (probably the alexithymia?).
tl;dr: physically yes, romantically definitely not

For me, anime girls are extremely prettier and have a much better personality, although I'm not romantically attracted to them. For the last 2 years I don't like anyone romantically both from anime and real life.
For the people who answered yes: Go outside and touch some grass, you need it.

i mean this in a way where: steven is very cute, but he's not real, so i don't think he's hot, but he's cute, real people are well, real, so they can be hoteeriepump wrote:

People better not be sexualizing Lucario, or any Pokémon for that matter.

In a physical sense, kinda? But as most people have said I think that's kind of the point.
I've never really been emotionally attached to any character from an anime though, and I don't think I ever will.

Fictional characters are made to be attractive, so in an ideal way, yes.
However it is not possible for me to feel attracted to one, because they're not real and I'm more of a practical lad, real people is more for me.

attractive, but not more attractive than a real woman.
