Schediaphilia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

They have a name for us.

Or me, at least. *shifty eyes*

CuccoLady · 06-01-2007, 08:35 PM

^well, while watching anime I often find myself thinking "Wow, that guy is HOT!!" and such *coughedwardcough*, but I certaintly don't go to the extremes suggested by that article...

Antisocial · 06-01-2007, 10:07 PM

Way to make it sound more legit than "toonophilia."

MasaFACE · 06-01-2007, 10:19 PM

^ Exacly what I was thinking.

TyFACE · 06-01-2007, 11:06 PM

I am not SEXUALLY attracted to them.

***Ace Mercury*** · 06-02-2007, 12:27 AM

I think it's silly to fall in love with a cartoon character. I mean, they're always thinking about their careers.

Smarmy Vent · 06-02-2007, 01:22 AM

Still, for me, you see a remotely-attractive cartoon character, and your mind begins to wander... and then this is born:

Great, now I'm a schediaphile and a pedophile.

Actually, I've known that for a long time.

WHO'S THAT KNOCKING ON YOUR DOOR?

Iria makes my insides feel funny. So do most of the females from Grenadier.
Does that make me a schediapheliac, or just a pervert?

TyFACE · 06-02-2007, 10:13 AM

/\Don't know about you, but I'm just a pervert.
And Valigarmander, that's Tootie from The Fairly Oddparents.

Smarmy Vent · 06-02-2007, 10:19 AM

I know. I hate the show, but I love the pic.

VGF Forums: it makes your insides feel funny.

Galefore · 06-02-2007, 01:50 PM

I am admittedly just a pervert. However, to the denial of most male teenagers, we pretty much all are, some of us are just man enough to admit it.

***Ace Mercury*** · 06-02-2007, 02:26 PM

...or pragmatic enough to deny everything.

Galefore · 06-02-2007, 04:07 PM

I was actually joking. I really have no idea why anyone would become atracted to a character in a show in some sort of sexual, obsessed manner. Sure, some of them are drawn attractively and thus garner attention, but they're never to be idolized in some obsessive manner.

***Ace Mercury*** · 06-02-2007, 04:14 PM

There's some theories that, as children, people have imprinted on Disney's animated characters. It's much like how a newborn gosling follows the first thing it sees, except somehow a greater source of pathos.

^I believe part of my soul died upon seeing that.

***Ace Mercury*** · 06-02-2007, 05:31 PM

That is the most pathetic thing I've ever seen. The expression on his face; it's scary.
