Huh. I agree with both of you. I agree with AYRT that the kind of love between a person and their agency-less creation is inherently shallow when measured on a scale designed to measure human/human love. But I also agree with you that the nature of love is extremely multivalent, and the only time I'm overly interested in gatekeeping the concept of love is when someone is using it to excuse, normalize, or venerate behavior that is demonstrably harmful.

Yeah, this. I feel like OP's love for their own creation is most likely (but not guaranteed) to harm OP rather than others unless OP either starts treating RL SOs as inferior to their fictional character or gets Anne Rice level famous for their OC and then attacks anyone who dislikes them.

Personally, I'm just fundamentally uninterested in questions like "what is the true meaning of love in the first place".

"Love" is an arbitrary word anyway (like all words). So whether some concept or experience 'counts' as love - I just think it's fundamentally an uninteresting conversation. I think it's more interesting to try to understand those concepts and experiences.

So you're not interested in exploring the concept of love, you're just interested in exploring love as a concept? Cool.

You might say I am interested in the concepts and experiences that people call "love", but not in the abstract concept of "love" as such, if that helps
