Btw, I have a feeling that this "look at" mentality is rather exclusive to anime otakus or at least those who are influenced by its culture.

In the story that I linked to in my previous post, the blogger wasn't particularly an avid anime watcher (afaik), but he's heavily influenced by the Touhou fandom so he had contact with part of the culture (that site is where I go to read his Touhou fics).

I mean, I know even not all otakus are in the "look at" mentality, but are there "normals"/"muggles" out there who have this as the default mentality when choosing an avatar?
