Why do some people say fictional characters can't be physically attractive?

[DoubleKamui]

"I don't find drawings attractive"

"What's so pretty about ink?"

You often see these replies in a thread comparing the appearance of characters.

Most character designs are based on humans. If we can find physical attractiveness in real people, why can't we do the same for fictional characters when the latter is modelled off from the former? After all, character designs are a work of art and art can be beautiful. A lot of artists intentionally design characters to be physically attractive to boost the quality or popularity of their work.

So what are your thoughts on this? Do you think it is okay for people to find fictional characters physically attractive?

Note: When I say physically attractive, I mean being attractive to the physical appearances of the person alone. I’m not talking about the physical/sexual attraction where there is a desire to be physically close with someone, more like aesthetic attraction where the relationship isn’t that deep.

Apparently attractive = Ramming your díck in it.

Edit: Stuck between 1 & 4.

Sure, it is ok if you think that they look good.

But it is a whole different thing if you watch hentai, that shit is fked up.

 

[Shruikan]

That chick in your sig? Lol
I'm not sure why replies like that come up. Maybe they're trying to look cool or sth?
Well, I think it's okay to find fictional characters attractive. i'm not sure what you mean by 'Physically attractive'

 

[1Told]

1 but some people here probably think attractive = good fapping material which is weird...

i hope they don't do the same when visiting museums because you can find a lot of attractive naked people in there Lol

Just attractive to their physical appearance (liking one's looks). Nothing more, nothing less.

What solo king said.

 

[Punk Hazard]

Because most of these people would be made fun of just for watching these drawings period. "Wow, you still watch this cartoon crap, nerd?" It's double layered. If just watching the drawings period gets you made fun of, what's thinking the drawings are actually attractive going to be like? So, these people make fun of those who find it attractive. Not only that, but it's catharsis. By making fun of those who acknowledge the aesthetically pleasing side of art, it makes them feel better about just watching the drawings. "I may be a nerd, but at least I'm not as bad as that hentai watching guy." Making fun of them for it is just reassurance of this thought.

If it's aesthetically pleasing to me i'm going to appreciate it's beauty and make comments. That doesn't necessarily mean I have to lust for it.

I liked the design for Cortana and I find it beautiful:

Are you a Windows Phone fan by any chance?

Lmao. I'll see if I can change yet. Lol

 

[I m an Ass]

this is what i always say

One's reality might be an other's ilusion. We all live inside our own fantasies. Thinking Madara is dead is merely an arbitary acemption that you made. In exactly the same way you once asumed that I was your gentle older brother.

Nope. I'm an HTC man.

The "Ask Cortana" thing made me borrow my friends' phone to play with it. Her responses are great.

My favorites are, "Sing me a song", "What's your relationship with master chief" and "What do you look like"

It ain't healthy to find drawings attractive.
