(Anonymous) 2008-07-04 10:50 pm (UTC)(link)123. I'm pretty much the same, and I did think it a little... odd, to say the least. But then I realised that a lot of who I am is also taken from books/movies I've read/watched for school and university and work, and then I realised, well, everybody's like that. The only thing that may vary is the source material, and whoever tries to divide that into better and worse is a moron.
133. (Similar age here) Don't think I've ever met anyone in real life who'd be into any fandom. Better yet, most people I know equate anything animated with children's entertainment, just to give you an idea of their mindset. I am, however, conversant enough in all of my fandoms to be able to impress if I so wish. Therefore, whenever someone as much as thinks of being disparaging, I impress. Kind of like smiting, except with extra smugness :D
150. I've always felt it was disrespectful and weird and even gross (and I'm pretty hard to gross out) to "fap" to images/ideas of real people (I wouldn't judge anyone who did it, it's just my personal HELL NO EWW thing). Fictional characters, on the other hand, I consider fair game - they are made to be appropriated and processed by an audience, so to speak, to trigger emotions and establish a connection. ... (I had typed a very long explanation of my line of reasoning here, but then I deleted it because it got way too convoluted :)) Summing up, I've always been a characters yes, people no kind of person.
Re: 150
(Anonymous) 2008-07-04 11:22 pm (UTC)(link)150. Me too, with the added fact that I'm in a relationship, so if I'm *not* thinking about the person I'm actually dating, and thinking about a real person - for me that'd be cheating even if I wanted to do that. I don't feel so bad about thinking about two (or more) fictional characters (and I'm *not* putting myself in the scene -- just them).
(Also why I prefer drawn or book characters for, ahem, such purposes -- no thoughts of the actors intruding.)
Re: 150
(Anonymous) 2008-07-05 01:26 am (UTC)(link)150. Same here! Using the image of a real person makes me uncomfortable because it's like... would I want some stranger thinking about me for that? Characters are less O_o. (Unless the character is in a committed relationship, in which case I feel vaguely like I'm abetting in adultery for some reason.)
