  • How satisfying can a love be with a character that not only doesn't love you back, but can't talk to you, know you as a person, touch you, or acknowledge your existence?
    Are you just afraid to try for a relationship with a real person, or is it the safety of your one sided, delusional love, that appeals to you?

    • I believe it is self projection, you simply project yourself into the place of the main hero or heroin and hence all romantic advances(if involved) by the romantic interest(if that is the object of obsession is it) are seen as romantic overtures towards the viewer.

      you can also project yourself into accompanying roles if the character you love is the main character.

      you can fall in love with the personality or drawing of the character (especially true in anime with the big eyes and heads which play on the same psychology that makes babies adorable)

      • What makes you think babies are adorable? Yuck! Anime characters are certainly not appealing to me, so I cannot fathom your interest at all.
        But instead of projecting yourself into a fictional life, you should try a real one. There may be pain with the pleasure, but at least it's real, out in the world, life.
        What you describe could just as easily be experienced from inside an egg or cocoon, hooked up to tubes for feeding, excrement and oxygen.

        • Look at baby kittens or puppies or owlets.

          the big eyes and head to body ratio causes you to have a feeling to look after them, it gives off an air of vulnerability.

          circles also play a big part, that's why all of Walt Disney's animations were circular, Mickey has a circular head, because it put people at ease, making them more able to sympathize and love the character.

          Unless You are fundamentally different from the rest of the human population, I'm not sure why psychologically you do not find babies(human & animal) adorable. It's genetically Ingrained I thought.

          • Human babies are only slightly less than disgusting. They are not attractive to look at and they smell horribly. That sickly sweet baby smell honestly makes me nauseous.
            I am not a female and I do not have any maternal instincts at all. Perhaps I am unique in this, but I really doubt it. If you are a male, then you may be the odd one if you believe what you have posted.
            As I understood it, Walt Disney's animations were drawn as simply as they were, to make it easy for multiple artists to draw the characters. It was one of his innovations that the characters were not proprietary to a single artist. The art was also cheaper to produce in the quantities necessary for film, if each character wasn't terribly complicated.
            Why would you need to put people at ease, when your whole purpose was to make them laugh? Even uptight people will laugh, if it's funny.

            • You need to be at ease to be able to laugh and enjoy a cartoon. If you're familiar with the uncanny valley, you'll know why this is important.

              Babies(human and animal) need to be pleasing to the eye, in order to get protection. that's why most human are attracted to big eyes and heads on small bodies, stuffed plushy toys also have big heads and small bodies due to the same reason.

              Men have maternal instincts too, perhaps it may be because I cared after little babies and my sisters, I'm sure if you adopt a kitten or take care of a human baby, you'll find yourself having the same emotional reaction, unless your biology is extremely different from most people.

              sociopaths would not feel anything.

        • when watching a cartoon, movie, play, reading a book, or experiencing any other form of story telling. You need to be able to symathise and project yourself into the story. or else you would feel no connection and the whole thing would be boring.

          even in reality TV we share the contempt of the producers and camera men and the audience at large.

          or else who would care if some guy did something someday, end of story.

          if you feel no connection to Superman, Superman stories are boring.

          you need to feel the emotions of the founding fathers if you want to appreciate our independence otherwise who'd care for a bunch of rebels disassociating from one county to make their own.
