This is a nice post and all, but I'm guessing that the only reason anyone is even arguing about this because these people believe 3D is superior to 2D.
people these days don't realise no matter how crazy "millenials" are they will never reach the heights of insane that gen x'rs and young boomers reached in their prime
Speaking of that, wasn't there some old-ass drama in the HP fanfiction circles about a loony fan who had like fifty kabillion alt accounts and pretty much took over the entire community for a while, before finally being exposed?
They kinda did. It was really impressive back-up work. iirc it turned out she was an upper-middle class woman and former back-up singer married to a lawyer who went on disability after an automobile accident. I wonder if she went crazy sitting at home all day after the injury. It's a shame too, because she was actually a very good writer. She could have done well of her own accord.
Lady Darkness created a forum to discuss Snape with her fellow Snape worshippers. (Severus must be a spiritual polygamist.) Together, they discussed Snape's underwear, his pitiful childhood, Alan Rickman's hotness, James Potter's cruelty, Evanescence lyrics, their self-insert fanfics, and most importantly, Snape's messages for them in their dreams.

Good question. Imo it's almost worse because a lot of these women could find a man fairly easily, they just get so swept up in fantasy that they decide to wed a children's book character instead.
idk, I think it's really just that these women are naturally fantasy-prone and decided to embrace it to shield themselves from the hardships and coldness of life, rather than trying to control it.
So you're like a kid who grew up in a rough neighborhood and started hanging out with gangbangers, but your sister made sure you cleaned up your act and you ended up becoming a cop.
Kind of except I grew up hanging out in fantasy wolf roleplays, but my sister made sure I stopped being a fucking nerd and I ended up becoming a fairly normal person.
I think we both know how desperate some men are. I mean, they won't be able to snag a Prince Charming, but they'd be able to find men of their calibre for sure. Which probably contributes to why they're more interested in pretending to date anime twinks and such.
Idek man, somehow I suspect these women aren't high-functioning members of society. I bet they could if they had basic social skills and a lack of crippling psychological and emotional problems, but I think expecting either of those things of these people is setting our expectations way too high.
Oh yeah, a lot of them are losers, but you'd be surprised. It doesn't take much to hold down a shitty service job, and I've met a few women kind of like like this who've actually managed to enter PhD programs and work in tech.

Hey snally, did you ever hang out on usenet?
1 snallygaster 2017-11-18
Sadly no, it was popular a few years before my time
1 SDIHTD 2017-11-18
There was some good drama back then. People would get doxxed at the drop of a hat.
1 snallygaster 2017-11-18
At least that practice continues on IRC!
1 ironicshitpostr 2017-11-18
Doxxed? Most people used their real names on Usenet unless they were trading porn.
1 snallygaster 2017-11-18
from what I've seen, that practice mostly disappeared by the mid-late 90's, at least in most communities.

Hahaha this is funny...
Ugh. Never mind.
1 snallygaster 2017-11-18
Yeah, the most infamous people who've "married" fictional characters (of which there are many) were in their 20's or older.

Most of those types are late 20s early 30s single mothers.

Snally, where do you find all this juicy vintage drama?
1 Think_Once 2017-11-18
I kinda have the feeling snally was part of this drama.
1 snallygaster 2017-11-18
this was a lazy effort, just went to the archives of the fandom wank wiki.

Or am I confusing this with something else?

Are you thinking of msscribe? One of the best internet stories of all time.
1 Matues49 2017-11-18
Ye, that's the one. God damn, what a shitshow. And to think, even today, folks haven't fully found it who this person really is.

I could almost forgive any of it on it's own, but it's the Evanescence lyrics that are truly Mayo and unforgivable.

I can't decide if this is the female equivalent of those /r9k/ autists who """tulpamance""" their waifus or if this is actually somehow more insane.

1 Redactor0 2017-11-18
Maybe it's because they feel this kind of constant presence from their imaginary boyfriend, but a real man can't be there with them 24 hours a day?
1 snallygaster 2017-11-18

1 TinyJibble 2017-11-18
Sounds pretty relatable tbh.
1 snallygaster 2017-11-18
same
I probably would have ended up the same way if my sister didn't bully me out of it

Did she beat your ass or just relentlessly make fun of you?
1 wootfatigue 2017-11-18
So I’m guessing things got pretty hot and heavy between you and your sister. Discuss.
1 ahbslldud 2017-11-18

Could they tho? Could they really?

It's when an autism tries to create a persistent hallucination of their waifu via meditation and unmedicated schizophrenia

It's basically a stand
