I think that's a rather cold description of something that is so wonderful to experience. That's like saying hugs don't feel good, they are just electrical impulses from your body releasing a physical enzyme that creates warmth or something like that. Its a pretty sterile and kind of "dead" way to view things.
Love is a hard thing to determine or to discover but I feel that is what makes it so much more wonderful once it hits you, the ending result is great enough to withstand any kind of obstacle. As of lately, I believe my feelings in regards to toon crushes has grown and not declined, age really hasn't changed that with me.
Specially after re-watching this anime series of mine, featuring one of the most BEAUTIFUL animated females around, Belldandy. The series is called "Ah! My goddess" and any single episode in this series truly is enough (in my opinion) to make you realize the valuable nature of love and how much stronger it is than vanity.
To make a long story short, the show is about a college guy who karma craps on 24/7, his purity comes through as he is given a wish by a goddess called Belldandy from a hotline designed for those "worthy" and by worthy I mean GOOD, decent people. He wishes for the goddess Belldandy to stay by his side as his girlfriend.
She grants it and the series progresses from there. My point is that show always reminds me how important animation is to my life, and how animated females have inspired me to look towards them whenever I am down. Hell, the shows writing constantly circles back to themes of morals and inner beauty.
There are even these 2 evil, asshole human characters who are vain, sexual, shallow people who constantly try and destroy the purity of the love between the main guy and Belldandy and every time they fail. Like the show says "money, height, and good looks do not EVER measure someone's actual worth".
It may sound like school crap you hear on a kids program, but its the truth and I believe it which I why I believe in love and why I still crush on female toons. They represent such an image that is impossible not to admire at least a little. You don't see them often wasting their lives obsessing over drugs, alcohol, or sex.
They are characters who are the kind of people you want to meet and people to be more like. I can't tell you how disgusting it feels sometimes to think so many people base entire judgments or perceptions on you simply because of the size of your wallet or whether your a "McLovin" or not. I don't think toon crushes are wrong in anyway.
They are no different then the athletes or heroes we idolize and admire, they represent something we want to strive for and what others could learn a thing or two from. And if anyone honestly says toons can't be considered attractive or sexy, all I simply ask is "Have you seen Roger Rabbit?" and that's enough said.
If toons couldn't be construed as attractive, Jessica Rabbit would not have been drawn that way neither would Lola Bunny, Foxxy Love, or half the females in the Justice League: Unlimited TV show. Attraction in animation exists and its quite noticeable, just because a girl (or guy) is ink and paper doesn't mean they can't make your heart skip a beat now does it?
