So many judgemental as*holes here.

As long as it's not harming anyone, what's the big deal?

Some people use this as a way to cope, maybe real people broke their hearts too much. A fictional character won't break their hearts and won't get upset when they do find someone irl.

It's not "cheating" if your s/o has a husbando/waifu or 2. (like really, grow up! you are the same as those babies who say that if their s/o watches porn they are cheating)

It's a harmless hobby.

It's only bad if you start getting into "tulpas" and behave as if they are real, living, breathing beings.

But whatever, this thread is nothing but bullying the OP and people like them, with the few supportive posts being drowned out by "lol u must be autistic if u love fictional chars over real people EXDEE"
