Hey, no one is saying they can't. I might find it weird, but I'm perfectly happy to let people express themselves as they wish.

I've noticed some overlap between that group and people pushing bathrooms-by-birth-sex laws and a general intolerance of so-called "deviant" behavior (seriously, just spend some time poking around the these facebook groups). The cognitive dissonance is interesting to me. People embracing their own "deviant" behavior, the fetishizing of a drawing, but seeking some form of control over what they view as aberrant.

If that's the case, then wouldn't you expect the behavior of adopting, say, Zooey Deschanel avatars to have predated it? You don't have to have an answer, I'm not sure there is one, but I would guess it's the total, fantastical control these men, often with very little control over their lives, can imagine they have with, and it has to be said, with these Lolita-esque characters. Man, I wish there was real psychological research into this topic. I have pretty strong biases here and I'd like to see them either confirmed or corrected.
