A friend of mine often opined that 90 percent of attraction was personality. By their nature, fictional characters — the good ones, anyway — have pretty distinctive personalities. Also, a significant reason we like fictional characters, I think, is that it's possible to know a fictional character on a level that it's simply impossible to truly know a living person.

So, is it weird to be attracted to an animation character?

Oh, yeah. Totally weird. Freak. 😆

@DunningKruger tell me you dont like girls "drawn that way"

@Amylynne I don't like girls "drawn that way." I much prefer the real thing, or at the very least images of the real thing. But that's just me.

@Amylynne That said, I think it's possible to develop feelings of some sort for any character that we build up in our minds. For a long time, I thought I had a crush on Jodie Foster, but I eventually realized that I really had a crush on Clarice Starling as portrayed by Foster.

Even actual relationships are based around the image of the person that we keep in our minds, which may not be the actual person at all. I think that's why a lot of people stay in bad relationships, because they're attached to their idea of the person, while the real person may be totally different.
