What people don't get about schediaphiles(love of animated characters)
I've seen a lot of schediaphilic posts on here and the comments are always "they're not real so you can't love them"
Do you realize that not everyone's the same as you, and we love them specifically because they aren't real, and fiction is more alluring than reality? Not everyone wants to touch people and get intimate, or feel a reciprocal need for that.
Same goes for shotacon and the like. Doesn't necessarily make someone a pedo, usually they only like fictional kids, and don't want to touch or get intimate with anyone in real life. It's just too much and actually feels disgusting, child or not.
