Toonophilia, also known as schediaphilia, is the paraphilia of being attracted to cartoon character(s) (toons) emotionally or sexually. A Toonophile or Schediaphile is a person whose sexual and/or romantic interests are such characters.
Asia[edit]
In Japan, the sexual or affective attraction towards two-dimensional anime, [[[manga]], and Japanese light novel characters is called Nijikon (二次コン) or nijigen konpurekkusu (二次元コンプレックス), from the English phrase "2D complex". Non-Japanese anime/manga fans also use the term.
In China the term used is Zhǐ-Xìng-Liàn (紙性戀).
Animesexual (formerly animesexual, mangasexual, or eminaficticare) is a 2012 queer sexual variant used by American LGBTQIA+ members to describe these same Japanese characters.[1] Its romantic counterpart is animateromantic.
[edit]
These terms are not to be confused with fictosexuality, the sexual attraction towards any fictional characters (not just toons). Romantic attraction towards these characters is called fictoromantic.
