wish other people would hurry up and get smart already. I'm tired of
not being able to talk about things because everyone is too far behind.
I guess it can't be helped. I'll tell you, then.
Human
affection and/or love is formed toward a concept. This is how our minds
work, and the only way that love is possible. This allows us to
theoretically fall in love with anyone. It additionally allows us to
fall in love with anything for which we may harbor a concept. This
includes fictional characters just as much as real people.
You might consider this a flaw of the human mind, but objectively that can't be true, which makes discussing it redundant.
I
could put this into terms that you could better understand, but I
instead encourage you to put more thought into it yourself. We would not
do such a thing if it were illogical and wholesale counter-productive
to do so. There are large benefits to loving a fictional character over a
real person, and those benefits are the opposite edge of a
double-bladed sword which is the lack of corporeal influence. Though a
fictional character can't hold us and kiss us, you should acknowledge
that not everyone wants things like that. Some people want to remain
alone and not be bothered. That doesn't mean that those types don't want
to love something, however, and it's not outlandish that they might
deem it less inappropriate to love a fictional character rather than a
person. After all, with a fictional character it's not as though they
don't love you - it's that they can't, whereas with real people the
reverse is true. Surely you can understand the appeal to that. You may
not approve of it, but to understand is enough. |
