For sake of discussion. Echo chambers are pretty bad at it(that applies to both waifuists and kiwis), so I'd rather talk with people who are going to disagree with me. Also you probably don't realize how many waifuists are here, some even keep bringing fresh content without revealing themselves.
Also, people like @fuckthissite are just too fun.
That's a hard one. The answer is probably going to be biased towards my own ways of doing it. I'd say that the actual craziness of these people comes not from the fact they are in love with fictional character, but from their conditions, being complete autists, NEETs, etc. A crazy person who gets a waifu will continue to be crazy, and for sane person waifu will just take a place of a gf or wife while rest of their life stays roughly the same, sane. At least that's how I see it.
I don't think there is much waifu specific things that might make you crazy. I mean, tulpa mancers seeem pretty crazy, and doing things like taking a poorly edited selfie or photos of badly arranged food is just cringe. It wouldn't be that bad if they actually put more effort and skill into them.
But one thing I definitely consider crazy is making decisions with waifu. I don't see anything wrong with talking to your waifu, it's nothing more than immersing yourself in your imagination where you came up with a dialogue on the fly. But when someone comes to me and tell me "I've talked with my waifu about X and Y and we decided to do Z", this is just crazy. You can't take your imagination and act like it's some inter-dimensional communication method and claim your waifu actually justified some action or opinion.

I gotta ask, what’s with the whole head-patting thing?
Do certain women actually like that? Is it some cultural thing in Japan?
Because to me it kinda looks like infantilizing and it doesn’t help that a lot of these guys are waifuing children.

I've wondered the same thing for the same reasons. It probably comes down to the whole notion that they see the waifus as something to be protected (so, yeah, infantilizing them). For me, not the creepiest aspect of waifuism, but it's on my list.

That's a common trope in anime. It's supposed to be more playful and innocent than for example a hug.
It has nothing to do with actual Japanese customs as they rather avoid physical contact.

The more I learn about Japan, the less I understand why people would want to live there. Just sounds fucking depressing. No wonder anime seems so idealized.

I mean, that's definitely one of the more normal dakimakuras to have graced this thread...
Especially compared to that Turbo/King Candy one that Origanzi made.

More selfies and etcetera
Ignoring the retarded ass proportions of this "art" fuck pillow, I hate dakimakuras because the sizing is always fucked. At least get an actual person sized one instead of whatever size body pillows are. It makes your "waifu" look like a midget.

That guy is honestly pretty attractive. Couldn't he just as easily gotten a real girlfriend instead of doing this shit?

Life is so hellish in Japan people have completely given up on reproducing because they can't bear bringing offspring into such a hideously awful, depressing world. And that's the ones who don't just commit suicide or become hikikomori.

This topic is ripe for derailment so I'm only going to make one post on the topic and try to cover it as completely as possible.
One thing I want you to keep in the back of your mind the whole time is I really don't think it can be overstated just how much weebs of all stripes have impressed on the western cultural consciousness that Japan is basically perfect by a combination of superficiality and sheer desire. If say... K-pop had come first I strongly suspect we'd be saying the same things about Korea.
I think the unpleasantness of Japan and peoples' ignorance of it―earnest or willful―broadly comes down to two points: the cultural emphasis on maintaining appearances and the fact that Japan is actually a really, really nice place...to visit. There's a synergy to this combination.
Odds are you've already got an understanding of the whole Japanese honor and shame society, even if it's tainted by the cherry blossom and lotus eating perceptions of pop culture and history. I can't emphasize just how big of a deal the shame culture is and its promulgation through every facet of society has lead to a bit of a weird situation in which pretty much everything has to appear perfect. If it can be fixed (by one's in group), great. If not Heraclean effort will readily be applied to construct a potemkin village around the problem and try to memory-hole it as much as possible. The problem's still there, of course, but unless you're one of the unfortunate affected you're going to have to look very hard to find the problem. It doesn't help that the actual affected will themselves assiduously deny the existence of a problem, and if pressed simply respond しょうがないね。 There's this attribute of the Japanese, at least in their own heads, of gaman which is basically some uniquely oriental combination of the stiff upper lip and don't snitch. I could hypothesize many hypothetical explanations for how gaman and its attendant virtues came about and the social purpose they serve but I feel like I'm already venturing a little too far into speculation. The essential point is that if a problem exists and can't be readily solved without engaging external groups or superiors beyond one's immediate boss effort normally reserved for moving mountains will be utilized to eliminate all evidence of the problem without actually solving it. To do anything less is shameful. One of the things that utterly blew me away and to this day I still have trouble understanding is that there is a very fine and natural distinction in Japan between a public group (ie company, government) actively working to fixing a problem, and simply creating the appearance that they are doing so, as if somehow the latter is acceptable. IIRC, the government is engaged in some kind of intiatives to rectify this, primarily because the behavior was one of the primary causes of the Fukushima mess, which as we all know committed the cardinal sin of making glorious Nihon look bad, and worse! look bad on the world stage. I should also mention that the extent of this mindset and its implicitly chilling effects appears to be more or less Orwellian in scope. The worst insult a Japanese can do another is to ignore them entirely, to turn the cold shoulder forever, and in such a socially tightknit culture (spoiler: there's a lot of scuttlebut in Japanese society) this can lead to grand unpersonings of extremity that we in the ["]civilized["] world usually reserve for child sex abusers. What's interesting about this is that it extends to inconvenient historical facts that can't be whitewashed. I've heard enough tales of a foreigner instantly turning persona non grata for having the audacity to broach the subject of the Rape of Nanking or Bataan Death March to a supposed friend that I've so far only dared discuss politics at all with my closest buddy.
The perceived absence of negative leads to a vaccuum which in turn is filled by and magnifies the positive, something reinforced in many ways by all the cultural idiosyncracies I discussed above. But all this is amplified by the fact Japan really is a very nice place to visit. It's packed with delightful vistas. full-to-bursting with fascinating history, has done a great job of exporting pop culture in easily digestible formats, and a bunch of other things I could list if I really wanted to fellate it. It's also one of two countries people think of when they think of the exotic and inscrutable orient, which of course works to its advantage. But the unique thing is the emphasis on politesse. This is another thing I'm sure pretty much everyone reading this is already well familiar with, but when combined with the focus on appearances as discussed above it leads to a society that basically bends over backwards to make as positive an impression as possible on visitors. People, places, institutions, they all really go the extra mile to make the visitor's perception of the country as perfect as possible; partly for appearances, partly because treaty your guests well is just good manners. A lot of peoples' most positive stories are borne of this, I'm reminded of one where the cashier at a McD's just finished taking an order and broke into a sprint to hold the door open for someone leaving. Stories like that stick out in the mind, especially if you've had the misfortune to visit the golden arches stateside, or pretty much anywhere else. This behaviour might also have something to do with the notoriously short-tempered samurai in times past and similarly inclined citizens of arbitrarily high social standing today, but I wouldn't venture any positive assertions. I am rather shocked by just how contemptuously some higher in the social hierarchy treat those lower on the foodchain, but I guess we're all familiar with the asshole DA, chief of police, or elected politician that treats regular people like shit so maybe I should give them a pass. Regardless, it all combines to form a society that works very, very, invented-a-word-for-death-by-overwork(過労死) hard to make its country look better than it actually is. This of course extends to basically all cultural exports.
It seems to me like the more one knows about Japan itself and not just its exports, the more nuanced and typically negative opinion they have of the country, or the more qualifications they have for their recommendation of it. I've never encountered anyone that professes ambivalence toward Japan while on top of Mount Stupid.

Crossover time!
I've been reading our resident Hovis waifuist Alex Mulholland's thread on this site and found out that there's ANOTHER honest, unironic Squidward waifuist who used to go by squiddyswife on Tumblr.
Sadly it appears she nuked her Tumblr (due to the drama explained within the other thread), but I figured I'd drop in here and let you all know that despite having one of the strangest husbandos I've seen in this thread, 1nkonceivable/Sepiida somehow isn't the only Squidward lover out there.

You would think someone in love with Squidward would love bullies and jerks.
What is it with waifuist and not even bothering to get the personalities of their one-true-love right? At that point you think they could just make their own OCdonutsteels. Its not like having an imaginary girlfriend you made up yourself is any less embarrassing than taking one someone else made.
