Plagued Waifu culture - Cartoon fuckpillows and the men (and women) who love them

[Marvin]

Cool, SJWs vs weeaboos, may both/none win.

All that matters is that, in the end, we win. We win.

The japanese have animes for everything, don't they? I wouldn't be surprised if it was the basis for their educational system.

They probably use anime to train the Japanese self defense force.

I sometimes think we should have a rating "Stoned Content".

I'm saying i think it's a joke for attention. He's doing it ironically

I don't think you pay a bunch of money for a vacation ironically.

I want to believe this was a joke. I hope he is a just a big fan of the series Durarara who happened to be planning a trip to asia anyways.

Spoiler: Maybe not the basis...

...but as far as manga go, you can learn electrical engineering, quantum mechanics and any other subject with them!

(Note the time-dependent Schrödinger Equation behind the girl's ponytail on the middle book's cover.)

I do like my theoretical physics with a sprinkle of kawaii anime girls on top, nothing wrong here.

I think I already wrote somewhere about the time I illustrated an electronics project I did in university with a bikini fanart of Asuka Langley...

It's all marketing. If your study guide comes with pictures of cute characters it's more likely to be picked up than just a dry old textbook.

Spoiler

Not to train, but certianly to get intrest

Japan is rampant with mascots. It's a promotional tool, and many Japanese seem to love collecting. The most prominent are probably the mascots for cities. Prefectures have them, but individual cities do as well. There is a yearly 'grand prix' of mascots and having your city's cute character win can cause an influx of tourism bucks. With the success of characters such as Kumamon or the recent Funassyi it's not hard to see why so many things try and attach a loveable character to their products.

Go to a few train stations in Japan and you'll be sure to find pamphlets advertizing train routes you can take to find "station stamps", just a big rubber stamp to press on your notebook. Mascots, or just characters of all sorts, to convince you to go somewhere and hope you spend some cash while there. There actually are notepads specifically to get the stamp and mark when and where you got it, but most people just use normal notebooks.

It's weird but I won't lie... I actually thought about going around to get all the Ultraman stamps in my area that were promoting the new movie. They were limited edition damn it!

LOL sure. This holds for all kinds of entertainent, though. It's made by a company which first runs a market study in order to find out which characters would be popular and thus offer a maximum of revenue. "...and thus it seems likely that another iteration of the My Little Pony franchise would sell well, most of all if we give them a more modern design which includes vaguely anime-inspired eyes. We also have run a number of psycho-sociological tests which point to a large population of adult autistic males which could, apart from small girls, form a substantial secondary consumer segment -- who knows, maybe, just maybe, even become the primary one!"

Is the Catgirl dead or alive?

You know that cartoon cliche where someone is stranded on a desert island and they're so hungry that they think not food is food? That's what people who are so desperate that they think they're having real relationships with fictional characters reminds me of.

[that one person thinking animu is oppressive]

I wasn't aware that tarsier-sized eyes were a standard of beauty expected of real women.

Spoiler

But seriously, why is it that they always use the same buzzwords?

 

[SU 390]

After reading one page of this thread. It makes me not feel bad for wanting a fleshlight anymore. These people are pathetic.

Tarsiers -- they remind me less of Anime girls than of Norns, characters from a 90s AI simulation/game.

SJWs always use the same buzzwords because they are extremely uncreative.

People treating fictional or imaginary entities like they were real is not something new, though. If you take a bit of an "euphoric" stance, religion can be seen to sort of work in that way. Otherwise, there is a long tradition of people falling in love with fictional characters from mythology, novels, plays, art, etc. Think Pygmalion. Psychologists actually have shown that nearly all humans think of another (possibly fictional) human while masturbating. Reports about people rolling a blanket Dakimakura-like into a partner-effigy and kissing their pillows while masturbating go back to the heydays of psychoanalysis.

What probably IS new is the extremes to which some take this. When people claim they live in a long-term committed relationship with Hatsune Miku and have a daughter with her, then... erm... well... then things get a bit... strange.

Anyway, like I already said, I think IF they claim that an Anime girl is their TRUE and HONEST spouse, then they should at the very least treat her better than many of them do. You do not invite your spouse to a "romantic" dinner consisting of fast food in a basement. At least cook something by yourself and set up some flowers and candles and stuff. Most of all, do not treat her like... the guy who shouted at his waifu on her birthday to leave the video game console alone and go get her cake and presents and gave her condoms. I cannot find this video (because I don't have enough endurance to search for it systematically), but I found this which is still rather cringey:

maybe it's for the best they don't have real girlfriends.

 

[Donald And The Immigrants]

Didn't the guy in that video go to prison?

 

[Kazami Yuuka]

Didn't the guy in that video go to prison?

Yes, and here is his ED page
This page is great, because it truly sums up the irrationality of waifuism:

To him, she's not just a flimsy generic anime character created by a middle-aged Japanese man, she's a woman with her own personality - who happens to put up with MadThad's shit. She cockblocks Madthad from getting an actual date, scowls at computer screens when someone says something negative about School Days, MadThad, or her, and other random things that MadThad could think up.

Spoiler: Even more hilarity

The names of his porn folders:
: a. \things\don't click
: b. \things\don't click\teens
: c. \things\don't click\cp
: d. \things\don't click\cp\cp

 

[SU 390]

Nah, they'd probably yell "3DPD", sadly. A couple like that would be a match made in heaven though.

Or Hell for that matter.

"Waifu"? I saw this kinda faggotry on the net, is that some kinda form of imaginary friend of junkies of Japanese popular culture (comics, animated stuff, games, music, pop culture idols and so on)?

Yes, unfortunately.

I just hope these guys are following the Golden Rule of waifudom...

I think this person should rebuild a new life.

Isn't she from School Days? Where the Horrifying rating when I need it?

What's also obviously hilarious about that comment is that instead of the commenter focusing on what's really wrong with the pic -- an apparent proud hikkikomori with a likely unhealthy level of obsession -- they instead focus on how they erroneously think that ecchi animu posters are inherently and literally dehumanizing.

Damn. Power level much?

School Days is literally the worst anime. Of course the guy in love with the main character is a pedo.

 

[Moon Rocks]

Oh man, I can't believe I missed all of Vocaloid Mayu's quitting shitstorm.

He was pushed by his own weeaboo followers into leaving over having multiple imaginary anime girlfriends, since apparently having one is a perfectly sane and rational thing to do, but adding more is some kind of crime against god. This waifu community is getting so inbred it's actually hunting down itself. Beautiful.

This is as bad as when wizchan started banning people for having been raped by their parents as kids because it meant they weren't virgins.

That is... I don't even know what that is.

Certainly ticks the 'Wizards, they ain't normal' box pretty hard, though.

Not, it ticks the "Wizardchan is run by incredibly vilde piece of shit" box with a level over 9000 by far.
