Until I can get this to Jesus Diaz himself:

"And while the Eguchi Aimi phenomenon may be just anecdotical, the fact that a synthetic creation has been able to make their fans to have crushes and feelings without them never realizing she was a figment of someone's imagination, a digital mutant mix, is not a simple anecdote. That's very real."

Really, this has been going on with actors, and other personalities and celebs, from behind the screen, or magazine photo, or TV, for a 100 years. From the viewer's point of view, they are falling in love with someone fabricated / manufactured / acted / created, and there's nothing tangible there.

From the viewer's perspective there is no difference. It's all warped media. Whether it's digital or analog, the warping effect is the same.

Digital is just a delivery system. The end effect has been happening countless times for a 100 years.
