I had made a bad thread which was taking things in the wrong direction.
The main idea I want to get to is all about ATTRACTION TO FICTIONAL NONHUMAN CHARACTERS.
We can discuss anime characters too if necessary.
This thread was written as a way to get out an inner concern I have developed recently; I wanted to come to terms with something psychological and to rationalize it in the best way possible so that I can bring myself back to reality. It was also inspired a bit by one of my friends who, after watching James Cameron's Avatar kept joking about how hot the nine-foot tall blue aliens were.
I have had imaginary friends before ages ago in elementary school that were not human and I remember even letting these "friends" sleep with me in bed. Over ten years later, this fantasy with nonhuman companions (now especially female-like) has appeared to come back. This can most likely be attributed to loneliness and being misunderstood by other people.
I am confident about sharing this because I KNOW I am not alone and I'm sure there are people on here more likely to understand or feel a similar thing than people that know me in real life because I hardly ever talk about absurd things with them.
So lets try this again. Have you ever felt a romantic attraction towards some kind of being that does not exist in real life? These beings can be characters from fictional stories and are not necessarily human, but could be humanoid, quadrupedal, winged, etc.
If so, why do you think that happened/is happening?
