Well, glad to know there's people more fucked-up relationships-wise than yours truly.
Nisan didn’t mean to fall in love with Nemutan.
Nisan had a real-life girlfriend who left him, something Nemutan isn’t likely to do.
:bush:Nemutan doesn’t really have a leg. She’s a stuffed pillowcase — a 2-D depiction of a character, Nemu, from an X-rated version of a PC video game called Da Capo, printed on synthetic fabric.
Nemutan is 10, maybe 12 years old and wears a little blue bikini and gold ribbons in her hair.
If one gets too faded and dirty from overuse, he layers a new one over it.
:waah:Nisan is part of a thriving subculture of men and women in Japan who indulge in real relationships with imaginary characters.
If he ever does find true three-dimensional love, Nisan said, he hopes that his wife will accept Nemutan for who she is: “She is my life’s work. I would be devastated if that was taken away from me.”
I'm going with "There's alternative lifestyles, and there's personality disorders." I'm thinking this is the result of a personality disorder. If you actually believe that you can be "in love" with a fictional character and have a full relationship with them. Then you have a problem relating to people and you need some kind of help. This man is obviously extremely lonely and seems to be to insecure to attempt a normal relationship. This is a very disturbing trend, if not for its very nature, then for it is a sign of.Lally said:I like to think I'm accepting of "alternative" lifestyles...

If this dude, and other dudes like him, want to love characters and the pillows that represent them, that's their business (I'll admit I went through an "in love with a fictional character" phase... but that was when I was like 13/14). But what I DO find creepy about this particular dude is that he nicknamed himself "Nisan," as in "oniisan" the nickname for "big brother" (which is does point out in the article). For some reason that is creepy to me. I guess I'm not as accepting as I like to think I am...
This guy has developed an imaginary, sexual, relationship with his idealized version of a 10 - 12 year-old girl. What happens if his delusion slips from an attachment to a pillow to a real child?Lally said:I like to think I'm accepting of "alternative" lifestyles...

You can call me just as delusional as him, and I have no evidence whatsoever to support how I feel, but I just don't think that is the case with these "2-D lover" guys. I can't speak for everyone, but I'd be willing to bet that almost everyone has some sort of erotic fantasy that they would never really act out, for whatever reason, whether it's illegal or they are just too scared to try it. And half of anime girls look like they're ten anyway, the rest of them just have gigantic boobs.figmentPez said:This guy has developed an imaginary, sexual, relationship with his idealized version of a 10 - 12 year-old girl.

I might be persuaded to agree that it's a personality disorder or a mental illness (not sure if I feel that way, but I can see where the argument can be made), but I would definitely agree that these must be very lonely people. Like I said above, I genuinely feel that in the vast majority of these guys, they are not going to become predators of real life children (at least, not in any higher proportion than "3-D lovers" do. So, while some might feel it's not good for them to live like this, it's ultimately up to them to decide how they want to live their life and if they want to seek therapy/treatment.chakz said:I'm going with "There's alternative lifestyles, and there's personality disorders."

Not gonna happen, they have no attraction to 3-D women. Read the article, you'll hear about the "Father of 2D love" admitting to having seen some real life porn and he was booed by his 2D love fans pretty heavily.figmentPez said:This guy has developed an imaginary, sexual, relationship with his idealized version of a 10 - 12 year-old girl.

Booed because of their ideals, or because of their actual feelings? While you do bring up a good point, that cartoon is very different from reality, and it is plausible that a person could be so fixated on cartoon that they don't find reality attractive at all, I'm not sure this is necessarily the case in every situation.Shegokigo said:Not gonna happen, they have no attraction to 3-D women.

This is a fairly pervasive theme in science fiction, but every time I think about it, it's a concept I want to explore more: the idea of people being so satisfied or intrigued by something simulated, that they cease to care about real life.figmentPez said:Booed because of their ideals, or because of their actual feelings?

Difference between what a holodeck is and this guy, is the holodeck would be able to simulate reflected feelings, emotions and give simulated physical feelings in return. 2D lovers have completely one sided relationships.Rob King said:If that's what he's feeling, fake though it is, I'm not sure I can really knock it. After all, I would spend my life on the holodeck too, if I had the power.

That's why he can get away with it and I couldn't. I can't delude myself into thinking that a pillow has feelings, and is actually interacting with me. He can. I find it sad from where I stand, but looking at it from his experience, where this thing isn't just a pillow, he's living the dream.Shegokigo said:Difference between what a holodeck is and this guy, is the holodeck would be able to simulate reflected feelings, emotions and give simulated physical feelings in return. 2D lovers have completely one sided relationships.Rob King said:If that's what he's feeling, fake though it is, I'm not sure I can really knock it.
