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

[Pepsi-Cola]

Mai waifu is perfect.
Non-existence is a kind of imperfection.
Therefore, mai waifu exists.

some people's waifus are literally god

People who want to fuck a nonexistent pony need to resort to arguments from dead philosophers as to why this is not weird.

Is that what Descartes was talking about with the whole pony before the cart?

but if the competition in your head is Goku from Dragonball Z, who is basically a demi-god, there is no way you're EVER going to climb that mountain you've made for yourself.

Going to gym until you get Goku levels of buff would be nice, even without succeeding. Hell, most of the above posts are okayish self improvement speeches. If waifuists were so passionnate in real life they'd succeed at lots of stuff, but as things are I suspect they invest waaay too much time and emotions playing with delusions and cutting themselves from people. Kinda sad, really.

Monster Musume attracts a pretty big chunk of waifuism. This shouldn't be surprising; it's gone on to be the best-selling ecchi book of all time and conversely is a strong candidate for one of the best-selling books of the last few years period. This said, normally, Monster Musume's always had a level of self-awareness over shit like this.

For example, at a convention they had one of those body pillow things of the character Miia, and it's to scale.

This means it's around 35 feet long.

The work as a whole is replete with silliness like this, and by and large, it's all in good fun. Sadly, for every bit of levity, there's always some level of nuttery to chase it up. I have seen arguments between fa/tg/uys over who is "best girl" in works like Monster Musume that it's simultaneously hilarious and terrifying, to the result where minor spergwars have been fought over it. I've seen these spergwars brew up into full-blown border skirmishes at conventions, and the result, as ever, is more Autism than is probably healthy. Most of the time, it's in acceptable levels of spergery, and then you have shit like two idiots coming to blows over which fantasy girl is the better choice and part of you just hovers at the point if you think the better choice is to sit there and laugh or hope for irony to run its course.

And all you can say at the end of it is "God fucking damn it, Internet."

WHY is it 35 feet long? Couldn't they have the tail coiled up or something?! I feel like I'm taking crazy pills here!

I think Dante might have been a waifu enthusiast too. He fell in love with an idealized conception of Beatrice but was too much of a pussy to ever approach her and instead he made her a fictional character and love interest of his self-insert in his magnum opus, the biblical fan fiction known as the Divine Comedy.

 

[AnOminous]

Same with Petrarch, who invented the modern sonnet and the Renaissance, who obsessively wrote love poetry to a woman named Laura who refused to even talk to him because she was creeped out by his behavior and was already married.

They both had a far more pronounced impact on culture and art than your average Reddit waifuist, though...

Makes one wonder whether Dante had a pillow he called Beatrice.

At least both of those women were real and not just wank fodder mass produced by underpaid, jaded, and suicidal Japanese animators.

I feel that with another 20 years of technological advance, my envisioned Anime Girl Protection Society will become an urgent necessity.

I'm pretty sure it being 35 feet long is the whole joke, it's made to be completely unusable.

Not as a pillow per se but that's not the point. The people fapping to miia are ones who imagine getting wrapped up in her snake-like coils and squeezed like a hugbox.

We have made a lot of advancements in machine learning since furbies, which themselves were not far from the level of interaction these people want from their significant others.

I think the technological challenge is not only in the cognitive department, but most of all in the mechanical. Constructing a machine which walks on two legs is surprisingly difficult, though during the last few years substantial advances have been made:

It's still a far cry from the graceful movements one would expect from anime girls, though:

Idea: Let's set up an engineering competition in the spirit of the RoboCup:

"By the middle of the 21st century, a team of fully autonomous waifoid robots shall perform the famous Hare Hare Yukai Dance, outperforming the world's most convincing cosplayers."

At first I was like 'would people actually --' but then I saw that your post contained the word 'engineering'
