On topic: Weird? Can't say it is. There are lots of people who 'fancy' certain animal characters from tv series & shows. Not worth your time / money to go to a doc or pysch. They can't really do anything about it.
I'd say give up when you it fursuiting. That's when it gets really weird.JoJo Bizzaro 7 said:
OT: I wouldn't say that you would need to go see a therapist. But if it start to get over your real life, might be a good time to go see one.
Now when you say "love" I'm assuming you don't mean the usual human to animal bond type thing. In which case, that is rather unusual, but as I say with all fictional character crushes, as long as you keep it in perspective so that it doesn't detriment real life relationships, there's no real problem.
You had me very confused here for a second, did you mean anthropomorphism?JoJo Bizzaro 7 said:
Anthropology is (ironically) the study of humans.
OP, you know, what actually weirds me out is not that you're in love with an animated dog but that you're in love with a character who you have only ever encountered in the context of a one and a half hour feature film. If you met a human being and fell in love with them within one and a half hours I imagine you'd be considered very clingy or hopelessly romantic, neither of which is a positive trait.

Seriously though, it should be fairly obvious the guy was speaking in generalities rather than absolutes, and if you want to deny that straight people tend to be less accepting of different forms of alternative sexuality than gay people I don't know what planet you live on but can I come and join you there.. it sounds great.
Sounds like you need to get a puppy mate.

Well you see, Mr. Minez, what you are experiencing is probably not love, but rather an emotional fixation. Perhaps this is something you're not finding in your life that you've sought out in a fictional entity instead. This is an entirely normal human response, although it is not one likely to be socially acceptable.
I will assume you had a dog as a child, yes? If this is the case, perhaps it's a yearning for childhood desires, or perhaps you simply feel the need to form that loving bond of the variety only possible with a family dog. The most likely case is that the emotional bond has more to do with what the character represents than the literal character himself.
Alternatively, these things may not simply be as they seem. It may be some aspect of this character that draws you to him so. Perhaps you wish for someone of equal loyalty in your life, or some trusting figure you can safely confide in.
Whatever the case, it seems this character speaks to you on a subconscious, emotional level, appealing to you more deeply than you're likely to know yourself. This is not love, but it's understandable to confuse it as such. It is harmless, but the important thing is to not let it consume you, be healthy about it. Until whatever desire it is that you have is resolved, it may serve well as a temporary sublimation.
Ahh, but I'm afraid our time is up. Good luck to you, Mr. Minez.

That movie was underrated and ignored ofr one and exactly one reason.......Miley Cyrus was in it. Heck I'm an animated film aficionado and I skipped it until it was on TV. turns out she had an ignorable part so it was pretty good, if not great.
No. But nothing is ever "normal". I despise the word.
No need to see a shrink, if it hurts no one then it is fine and dandy.
Trust me, I know that most of the planet would oh so love to kill me for my attraction, so I can probably say with full confidence that in comparison, you are seen as perfectly normal.
Keep lovin who you love bud.

It is not necessarily normal the fact that you fell in love with a dog character, but it is entirely normal for people to fall in love with fictional characters. The dog in the movie bolt has many aspects of personification thus making it possible for this to be possible with out strange desires. What you should do is pursue finding a person that has the same aspects that this character in the movie you like has. You can pursue a boy or a girl. Whichever fits the category.
If i might ask what is your attraction that most of the planet woul like o kill you for?LegendaryGamer0 said:
An attatchment to a fictional character is normal, though not to this degree. It should be fine as long as your affection to Bolt doesn't have an undercurrent of beastiality, in which case you should immediatly consult a phsyciatrist you freak. (har har sarcasm.)
Its normal if you're a furry.
If not, then I would say no, not normal, unless you mean on the level of, oh, I love my dog as a pet and friend. But if you means as, "oh, I love that dog and would like to make love to it.
BUt I dont think you need to see a Therapist. I think you're just looking for something to fill your life. Get an actual dog. Just dont make love to it.

I think it's normal for young children. What can you expect when you anthropomorphise animals into to adorable, relatable characters? One of my friends said Simba the teenage lion was hot. She was fourteen. She doesn't look at lions and be sexually attracted to them, it's just the artificial personality and expressions/demeanor. I also had a crush on a cartoon character as my first crush when I was like 5 or 6 <_< It's a bit weird but not insane unless it's truly an obsession.
Hint: It has something to do with my avatar. Ok, not really. Although it is somewhat related.saposkus said:
