Put in the simplest of terms, it's an outgrowth of tumblr gay/fujoshi fandom shipping culture which is defined by a pseudo-anime aesthetic, an aversion to male domination in all its forms, the sublimation of sexual desire into a parasocial relationship with the fictional archetype of one's choice which culminates in a non-sexual act which implies a high degree of intimacy and familiarity (like sleeping on a woman's thighs) and a desire to be validated and doted upon.
The connection to gay fandom culture (obviously a zoomer phenomenon which is entirely different from hardcore late 20th century "gay culture) lies specifically in the obsession with specific "types" (twinks, doms, tops, bottoms, etc.) and their pairing in completely non-aggressive and "tender" ways. If aggression is tolerated at all, it is not to come from the character which the gay fan will identify with. Anyone who has ever interacted with fans of Sherlock, Undertale, Danganronpa or Homestuck has surely experienced what I'm describing before.
The Romantic is not attracted to regular women. When he says he likes milfs, he does not mean actual middle aged women. He means Misato and other anime girls. When he does find a physical woman attractive, it's always one intentionally approximating an anime girl through heavy makeup and editing...
He does not want to have sex with her either. Notice how all the muscle mommy dommy lovers almost never talk about how they want to have sex with their fantasy women, merely about being smothered by her, being beat up, doted on, spit on, etc? The RSH is uncomfortable with the notion of a direct sexual encounter, largely because he finds the act of sex itself to be awkward and undesirable, which is why he feels the need to sublimate his sex drive into the virtual in the first place.
