heheh... i used to be in LOVE with gaara... T.T no joke. to the point where in school i would randomly scream "GAARA!!" then again that was when i was in sixth grade and my friends and I were a little narutarded. ^.^;;
But I mean now, i still LIKE characters who have certain traits that I look for in a guy. I just don't become obsessed with him because after all, it is just fiction. T.T
btw, I don't think it's good to like Zac Effron... -_-||| hes like 20 somethin playing a role in a highschool disney movie. plus he's almost as fake as an anime person... AAHH!!! *gets attacked by zac fangirls* okok! i take it back!!!!!
Well, I have to say, I do like Roxas and have said so on lots of sites. However, when I say that I like him, I don't mean in the same way as a normal human being. After all, they're not real. WHat's the use?
lol true true...but i don think turning their attentions to zac efron would be any better since he is not any more reachable and not to mention has a sketchy background O_o
Ah, yes. I have said on many ocassions, "I love Roxas", "I love Gaara", "I love Kyo", but I of course do not mean it. I have grown to love voice actors more than their characters, for which I am thankful. I mean, at lest I can actually hug Greg Ayres.
OK, I totally agree with you. But, there's more one type of fan girls, not just those hyperactive ten year-olds. Look, I'm a fan girl, but I don't go,"OMG!!!! Sasuke ish liek teh awesomest dude evah!!11 I want to make out wit him!! LOL!!11" See the difference?
And I'm a fan girl of Marluxia(KH), but when someone calls him gay, I DON'T freak out. Weird concept huh, fan girls? Personally, I would rather be obsessed a fictional character than Zac Effron, no offense. Also, I KNOW how to spell!!
Fangirls exist...sadly. But they all grow out of it (should grow out of it) when they mature. It's like waking up from a very long lucid dream. I agree that every person harbors passion in one form or the other, and that passion, whatever form it is, needs some kind of outlet.
Unfortunately for most circumstances, especially in this now anime-loving world, it exists in the form of crazy fangirl behavior. I don't necessarily condone it, nor do I hold a strong dislike for them either, but I've accepted that those fangirls exist, and there's really nothing to be done about it. Haha. Yeah, it's a kind of relinquishing attitude I possess XP I believe that it's less stressful that way anyway.
I'd say, let 'em be what they wanna be, and let 'em want what they wanna want...sooner or later, they'll snap out of it. At least, that's what we all hope for XD
BUUUuuuuuUUUUuuuuut... you should definitely start worrying when they still want to have babies with a fictional character by the time they hit, say, I dunno...twenty-somethin' or older O_O
Fangirls scare me sooo much! True I am a fan girl so I write stories and put my characters in that... But to the point of Obsession is well... weird. One of my friends loves loves loves Ishida Uryuu from Bleach and well let's just say she's umm well obsessed... it's scary... I made the mistake of calling him a gay girly man sewer and ran like hell for like an hour! Then one time I was talking to a group of 6th grade girls about bleach and mentioned that i liked toushiro's sword and i like him a little and these 6th graders (no lie) tackled me and were dragging me on the ground! Me! these half pints were DRAGGING me across the floor! FREAKS!!! At times I really want to scream " OMG!! THEY'RE FICTIONAL DUDES!!! THEY DON'T EXSIST (sp?) !!! GET OVER IT!!!" Any way good post I totally agree!
I agree. It's okay to have a 'crush' on a character. It's going to happen for the same reasons you would a real person. But I think the line would be when you think that the person is serious when they say these things. It's one thing to say "Back off he's mine." or that they want to have a character's babies if the person is obviously joking, and using it as a means to express they like that character a lot. But when they're serious, that is when you need to stop and tell them to hold up for a second and that they need to look at what they're saying or doing. Of course this is harder to do online since you can't always tell how a person meant to say something, and not everyone uses emotes to help get the mood of their message through.
I agree with you completely. I may be one of the many fangirls that have a crush on fictional charaters, but I only go so far into that. whenever my sister tells me that her husband is Sephiroth, I feel like telling her "Dude, your 15, get over it. HE'S NOT REAL." Because, in the end, that's the truth.
but then I also say it's ok to take a break from reality and dream, as long as you remember what you REALLY have right in front of you.
I've been crushing on anime characters for half my life now. (First crush: ten years old, Knuckles of Sonic fame.) And, I've only had one real life crush.
The thing is, my sense of reality is, and always has been, very fuzzy. I believe that those men are real, but not real here. Even if they're only real in my head, that satisfies me in a way. I've never called any one of them my boyfriend, but I still pine for them.
Very good point!!! I like your point m overally obessed w/ Riku at points but to deal w/ my obessesion so I don't obsess w/ him to much I have made a character named Tsume. Which has eased me alot more! I do prefer those so called human beings myself to! I completely agree w/ you. When I heard the name of essay I thought oh my god here we go with a more obessed fan then myself I would never really claim him as my boyfriend. I mean I know some guys that resemble Riku and some that act like him but you should never date a guy just because of that. I like your point I really do great job on this I hope alot of people read this! It needs to be read!
I agree with you there 100%. It not only applies to fictional characters but also to reality. Fangirls are just nuts... they are either too young or naive or just got low self-esteem (no offense) and they exaggerate like there's no end to it. Obviously it is understandable when someone says "wants" but when it becomes "is" it's gotten too far. I never knew how a fangirl feels, so I probably should not assume things. Obsessing over a person(s) is way too weird for me. Obsessing something, however, is a different concept. XD A well-done essay. I enjoyed reading it.
I totally understand this, though I also think there's a point when people can go too fangirl for real people too--I have a friend that keeps telling people she's engaged to about 10 different J-rockers and refers to them as her "husbands".
