Why are some men attracted to Anime girls just like why girls are attracted to Anime guys?

[CoolCatMar1]

I see it a lot on tiktok and I don't understand what the hell? It's just a cartoon. Saying they are hotter than real life guys/girls is weird and seems like they don't pull real life people.

i dont really like anime but i've watched a couple before in middle school. i do remember like i watched naruto and i simped for sasuke hardcore for like a month but i was like 13 though. i think its because even though they're drawn people not real life people they are 'people' in a way (like they're supposed to be human, they act human, etc), and some are supposed to be good looking, sexy, etc.. so i guess to some level you humanize them and so cos of that you can simp for a character. though i think if your above the age of like 15 and you regularely simp so much for anime people especially to the point where you find them hotter than real people, you and your probably got a problem

[aceleon]

they are human, they are drawn to be human, they are voiced to be human, they are written to be human, sasuke uchiha or any other naruto character is not less of a human than any of us, we can't even actually say he does not exist cuz he does exist in a way, we watched him, we saw his actions, saw his story, emphatized or harbored positive or negative feelings for him, as picasso once said ''everything you can imagine is real'' sasuke is not less male than your everyday average joes, also don't put the blame on your age for simping sasuke cuz simping for him is not something you should be ashamed of he is hot, he is interesting your female instincts found things she desired in him.

@aceleon No, anime characters are NOT REAL, because they appear in FICTION, were CREATED by an illustrator (that is, not born, like real people), and if you believe otherwise then you need serious psychiatric help.

[aceleon]

@Siri137 girl chill the hell out, what if they are not born? they look human and they act human liking them is not much different than liking a celebrity.

[Siri137]

@aceleon Going by your "logic", anything at all that either looks or acts human IS human. I suppose you also believe mannequins are human too. Bloody unbelievable!

[CoolCatMar1]

@Siri137 exactly makes no sense

[Siri137]

The guy is an absolute clown! :D

[jennifer_bloom]

I think anime girls have unique features that are less common in humans such as legs that are similar thickness from upper thigh to lower thigh. Legs that have rectangular angles and inverted angles that show a healthy metabolism and classic bone structure. Features that have exaggerated and palatial large scale eyes that do not curve or dip inward on any side, a chest like area that is perfectly rectangular sloping down and not rounded underneath the breast bone, etc… those features are more common in anime girls.

[Berethor]

Well you can see it as something similar to 'robosexuals are creeps' trope, but anime characters are real in anime universe, if they people anime avatar of themselves that date other anime characters it less weird, if they have a 'waifu pillow' it becomes more weird, also most anime characters are made to look pretty, but yea they not real.

[NathanDavis]

idealization...

just like some other people feel really infatuated with people that are just characters in a movie

or end up idolizing an artist and the portrayed image of such artist, without actually knowing how they really are in their private life

[CoolCatMar1]

Yes but I don't see how those characters are attractive?

[NathanDavis]

well... I would think that these people are just a little bit more into the fantasy side... no?

some characters are more alluring to our brain's perception not only visually, but also with their "personality" the sound of their voices and other stuff

[CoolCatMar1]

I see

[NathanDavis]

I do like anime myself... but never felt that weirdly infatuated about a character

[OlderAndWiser]

I suspect that most of the people who get caught up in fascination with anime are somewhat immature, introverted, and withdrawn.

[Siri137]

And are over 30 and have never had sex.

[OlderAndWiser]

@Siri137 Indeed!

[Summeroflove]

LMAO! Your guess is as good as mine

[IslaTheWitch]

I read a lot of mahwas (Korean manga) and mangas. I watch anime. I simply like the way characters are created/drawn.

But there is this hint of possessiveness in almost every male lead character. They are focused on their goals and considerate but also assertive. It's a pure pleasure reading well drawn comic with well designed male lead :D

[PBandJ_Nerd]

I've had a few fictional crushes myself. For me it isn't just looks but also personality and voice wise. However, the character themselves cannot have a love interest. If they do, then I'll concentrate on that ship throughout the show. But I may not crush on them as a result of that.

[Still-alive]

Yup its definitely the personality for me too

[PBandJ_Nerd]

@Still-alive Do you have a fictional crush?

[Still-alive]

Not currently but its happened lol

[aceleon]

girl did you ever see them? look at them again with a non reality fixated eyes, stop thinking them as cartoons for a second and think them as real persons.

they are drawn to look almost perfect and written to be fit into a characteristic most of the time they have more personality in them compared to real people.

[Siri137]

But they're not real. Like Instagramme "models".

[CoolCatMar1]

If that is almost perfect then i am a scientist in NASA

[Minahh]

Yes we know they're fictional probably that's why we like them lol. For example Ichinose Tokiya is such a fine man and you can't change my mind. We also aren't just attracted to their looks but also personality. Lastly no I don't have a problem pulling real men, most of them just disgust me 😃

[Astarlessnightsky]

Some people are also attracted to celebreties, and they also only see them on film/TV/photos...

[CoolCatMar1]

Celebrities are real, anime girls are not

[Astarlessnightsky]

Not much more real, for both you often just look at an 2D image

[CoolCatMar1]

I don't have any celebrity crush anyway. I just think Zayn Malik and Young Alain Delon are beautiful but my boyfriend is hotter for me.

[ChiTown33]

Yeah, whatever happened to being attracted to a cross dressing buck toothed bunny?😂

[WhitneySnow]

No clue. Thats just weird. On the other hand, plenty of girls have crushes on fictional characters, so maybe it’s not just guys.

[aceleon]

you know there are girls that calls anime guys as their husband and there are many life size pillows of male anime characters too right?

[Siri137]

@aceleon They need help too then.

[dolemite58]

i’ve never been attracted to anime characters i would marry a real life version of jasmine from aladdin tho 😍

[CoolCatMar1]

LMAO

[Siri137]

They need to get out of the house and see the real world occasionally. This obsession of theirs isn't healthy.

[Wise4myage]

Beats me, I never got into that sort of thing.

[CoolCatMar1]

Me neither. The anime guys just look weird to me not attractive at all

[Wise4myage]

Yeah, I feel the same.

[rosemilk]

it's because of porn lol. an extreme porn addiction...

[RedInnocent68]

Penises prefer cartoons because they can’t read.

[TallAnon]

How are people attracted to fictional characters in novels?
If I had to take a guess, it's a fantasy; Just like religion, fantasy goes a long way to fill in the gaps to create an unrealistic ideal.

[jamesgoldman]

Because guess is they can't date conventionally so just look to some non resistant entity

[Forceinhand]

Youths today are too obsessed with this fanciful notion of perfection in a partner, which they associate with the animated world.

[lilBigPotato]

I find it weird when people crush on fictional characters. Anime characters can be hot but i definitely not better than real ones

[strateguy632]

big eyes , gorgeous

[overthinkergirl]

i also don't get that.
