I am obsessed with a fictional character. is it normal?

I have been obsessed for a bit over 6 years now. It's the closest feeling to love I have ever felt. I've been in relationships before that. I never felt anything for the men. He is not perfect. A very flawed and unstable villain in fact. He always reminded me of myself. I am 25 and a lot of men are interested in me. They all pale in comparision. I can identify with his motivations and feelings. I feel like nobody could ever understand me as well as he would. All I do is somehow connected to him. I create a lot of content, collect merch and watch/read the things he appears in over and over. If I wouldn't be so insanely lonely I would be fine with it. What should I do? How do I learn to like real men?

    You learn to like real men by dating real men. You said that a lot of men are interested in you. Give them a chance.

    You didn't say which fictional villain you love, could it be Mr. Burns? Lol.

    Oh, you didn't specify that it was a cartoon villian, you just mentioned it was a fictional villain. Is it Professor Snape from Harry Potter? Lol.

    Well this is common but how healthy it is might be up for debate.

    I've heard men in China are marrying anime characters.
