What about people with real live significant others with whom they have real live sex, who also ship anime pairings and find RPS squicky? Or do you think such people don't exist?

Also, how is fantasizing about a celebrity/celebrities any better than fantasizing about a fictional character/characters? They're about equally unattainable.

I admit that now that i re-read the secret, it can be somewhat confusing. overall, when I talk to anime fans, they block out anything that's not animated. I respect that they like anime, & they should respect I like jrock anime too. yes, I otp it, but I'm trying to say that many anime fans I find in general have a problem with real life otps, fluff, slash, whatever, & just block it out. it's something i don't understand about anime fans.
but, another thing i don't understand is how people touch themselves to drawings. what it is is paper & ink. why is that such a turn on to anime fans? touching themselves to it. that's not weird? yeah they can like the art, but isn't that extreme?

First of all, that comment was directed at akiraakito, not at you.

Second, we don't agree and I don't think we ever will -- or even understand each other's viewpoints, probably -- so let's give it a rest, okay? It's pointless and frustrating to keep arguing with someone who's never going to see things your way.

no matter, i was talking to him/her as well. & everyone butts in on everyone's convos here, if you haven't noticed.

it's ok if we agree or disagree, i'm just saying why i feel this way. you don't have to be so rude about it

The automatic argument that comes to my mind is that if it were that weird or out of the ordinary, hentai animes and mangas wouldn't be available in the mass quantities they are. And all the porny doujinshi for non-hentai stuff.

Hentai is not my thing, but written and drawn erotica has been around forever. What do you think people got off to before there was TV? I've got a bunch of collections of Victorian erotica, some of it illustrated, and that's just paper and ink. Of fictional characters. And there have been dozens of articles and books and whatnot done on books and art and drawings that weren't exactly pornographic, but still served the same purpose as Hustler and Playboy do today. Hell, in the early 1900s, pulp detective novels were often used as masturbatory aides in lieu of outright pornography. There was no nudity or anything in the illustrations or covers, but they were full of attractive people and semi-naughty situations. Still just paper and ink.

I just don't find the idea weird at all, since it's...well, how porn started.

Clearly you didn't read all of what I said, for I explained I am one of those who do ship anime character. Also I'm talking about people who ignore real life relationships and who only live in their fantasy world, people who say "real people are icky anime is better"(yes I have had people in all seriousness say this to me) basically people who have a very juvenile outlook on sex. People who are in a any sort of 'real live' relationships understand the difference between reality and fantasy enough that while they can enjoy the anime ships and RPGs don't go over board with. They can act out some things in RPGs to enhance their relationships but realize when fantasy ends and real life begins. It is when people only want to be their fantasy only does it pose a problem.

While each is both unattainable, they are not equally unattainable. fantasizing about celebrities are better then fictional characters in that attributes that you find in celebrities are found in real life while most fictional characters that these people fantasizing about could never have the same attributes in real life. For example, you like an actor because they looks appealing to you, you could find some one in real life who looks similar. Some these fictional characters attributes that people find appealing about, you can never find in a real person. For example people who just love Inuyasha, he is a half dog demon and therefore you can't find these attributes in reality. For what it comes down to in anime is that they find the look of the characters appealing NOT their personality of the character; which you can find in real life. The look of most of these fictional characters are completely out of the realm of reality thus its unhealthy to focus so much desire on something you can never ever have, with celebrities you have more of a chance of finding someone similar traits.
Also with any fantasy once you only focus on the fantasy instead of reality it has become to much.

Okay, sorry, I did misunderstand. I agree with you there, and I'm sorry for jumping on you like that.

[akiraakito.livejournal.com]

Quite alright.
