Love in 2-D? - 07-24-2009, 10:04 AM

Phenomenon - Love in 2-D - NYTimes.com

News - Petition to Marry a Manga Character?

Depressing, to say the best. Honestly I'm very much taken back by such a life style. This is not real life, and I could not know how they keep themselves afloat in such a environment. Does this relate to one of the underlining problems that such a culture has?

Discuss.


1 Corinthians 10: 31-33
31 Whether therefore ye eat or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God. 32 Give none offense, neither to the Jews, nor to the Gentiles, nor to the church of God. 33 Even as I please all men in all things, not seeking mine own profit, but the profit of many, that they may be saved.

I don't know if it's just me, but for the first URL you have to login?

I remember reading about this a while ago. I think that's just sad and pathetic.

Some may disagree, but I don't think it's possible to actually fall in love with a character on a piece of paper. Obsession, perhaps?

Just like there's a male who bought a bunch of "love dolls" in Japan and uses those as his lovers because they'll never "cheat" on him.
