The role models I find it easiest to follow have always been fictional. With real people, you never know what skeletons they have in their closet. With fictional characters, on the other hand, the inspiration comes without the potential for baggage.

[(Anonymous)]

yeah, sometimes fiction is the only role model a kid has

[(Anonymous)]

Everyone does this. It's absolutely okay. People have done this for as long as we've had fiction. It's literally one of the REASONS we have fiction. You have nothing to be embarrassed about.

Ages upon ages ago, I made a FS where I explained that in my 80's youth, I'd learned more from Optimus Prime than I had Jesus. More than a little bit teen edgelord, but there's still some truth to it. I had very little connection to religious upbringing, but original animated Optimus's... optimism meant a lot to me when I was a kid.

[(Anonymous)]

As someone who looks up to Optimus as a father figure in lieu of the abusive bastard who raised me, Anon, you just gave me a bushel of warm fuzzies. I'm glad others feel the same!

I think this is a sweet secret! :-)

I don't think you should be embarrassed, and honestly, that show does set some really good examples. And I don't care how old and silly it is now, or how dumb the newer installments are - that scene that you used for your secret will always be epic. <3

The timing on this secret is great! Even if it is only the 20th anniversary of the games, not the show.

[(Anonymous)]

Aw, don't be embarrassed, OP. I'm an adult and most of my role models are still fictional. Kenshin Himura was the one who inspired me to be a good person when I was a kid.

[(Anonymous)]

I don't know if the context of this secret is meant to imply that you had shitty RL role models, but either way, don't be embarrassed about being inspired by fictional role models. One could say that the entire medium of fiction arose in order to tell people how to behave without them having to experience or watch it firsthand.

Also that was a GREAT scene! Say what you will about the Pokemon anime being slow or repetitive or not allowing the characters to age, it had some really fantastic ideas and scenes, especially early on. I remember one of the scenes that always stuck with me as a kid was in the Lucario movie, when even when the human characters are being eaten by the Tree's antibodies, they still remember, just before they die, to release their pokemon from their pokeballs so they don't get eaten too.
