20% of Japanese men: 2D > IRL

20% of Japanese men: 2D > IRL photo

In Japan, Konami conducted a lifestyle survey of 500 men in their twenties, just releasing the results late last month.  About 40 percent of these men said that they thought in-game love is something worth seeking out. About 20 percent of those polled actually want love with a videogame character, like our friend above.

And as for herbivore men, the type of guys who aren't into perusing girls, the majority of those polled, 63.8 percent, felt that they fell under that umbrella.

What was this? A poo poo on Japan poll? There's plenty of well-rounded gamers out there. Konami, where you trying to pull some funny business?

Regardless, the 2D > IRL movement is spreading.
