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

The Old Ones are reading this thread, huh?

Hi! Don't listen to these trolls. Your waifu DOES exist.

I know cuz I fucked her last night.

I don't know if it has to be an either/or; I think given the right guidance and environment, a waifuist could have a waifu AND keep working on climbing the mountain. I'm thinking of something like this maybe
It's really spergy, but the guy's heart is in the right place - he's leveraging autistic interests for positive gains. If Sonic the Hedgehog and Rainbow Dash could inspire even one autist to eat right and exercise, that's a win in my books!

(like I said before, though, I do NOT think r/w is going to be a viable place for this. It's a waifu crackhouse; anyone who gets sucked into that community is going to wind up worse off than they were.)

I agree. What makes this community plagued is more so a mishandling of a concept, that, circumstantially, could be beneficial in theory. In the case with r/waifuism, I think there is too much of an emphasis on making up fantasies and blowing smoke to cope, rather then, the idyllic: becoming a better version of yourself and thinking of the waifu as a goalpost or an inspiration to draw motivation from. And, I suppose if they wanted to indulge in fantasy a bit, get familiar with their standards (being the geniuses, super-models, powerful and otherwise exceptional people those waifus would be in a real life setting) and then do their best to meet them. Most importantly, making sure said community comes to terms with their waifu not existing, and doesn't have some noose portal hope that they'll meet them in the afterlife. I'd be a different story if that was the case. Although it'd still be autistic, there would be at least progress and tangible benefits to point to.

Even though there would be less laughter in the world, I think many people's lives would've ended up marginally better had they not found r/waifuism. As it stands, this subreddit is almost entirely a breeding ground for mental illness and a downward spiral of regression.

Marzi is going to have a fucking field day ain’t she? She didn’t make it but I have a feeling when it drops in 2 weeks, we’re going to see an influx of spam from it since you can insert whoever you want into it
 
Is it better to have the fictional waifu or a real one? Obviously the latter, we can take this for granted. Imagine mountains, and to be as high on the highest mountain is the objective good. Thus, the question becomes is it better to optimize for the current circumstance, to climb the mountain of delusion to its summit? Or is it better to abandon the delusion and endure the troughs while seeking, eventually climbing the much higher mountain of the IRL wife? From where I'm standing the answer is obvious, but maybe that's why I'm not one of the cultists. After all, one way promises a mild improvement in circumstances or at least an even keel mediocrity. The other promises immediate suffering for a future happiness that may never arrive.

lol this could be a snowclone describing almost everything wrong with the internet
On the other hand, what is better, 7/10 or 9/10 wife? In the vacuum the answer obviously is 9/10, but that doesn't necessary mean you should divorce 7/10 wife as soon as you have a chance with someone objectively better. This is clearly not very universal. What I'm getting at is that the highest peak is not the same for everyone. What is best for you depends on your capabilities, character, needs, etc. For some it might not be healthy at all, for some it might be a beneficial temporary cope mechanism during a bad period, for some it might be a way to live that inspires and motivates them. If the relationship is toxic, you should work on it if possible or abandon, this should apply to both 2d and 3d in my opinion. Otherwise, it's rather hard to tell whenever your relationship is worth it, or maybe you should drop and try your luck in looking for something that might be more beneficial to you. Well, this kind of thinking kind of kills all the romanticsm, doesn't it?

I think the answer should be similar to "Is it better to to devote your life to spiritual pursuits in celibate or have normal life with a wife?". I'd say, it depends on the person in question.

Interesting, yes I would say it much depends upon the individual, their needs wants and so on. The problem with that in this case: Is a waifuist relationship being chosen after carefully weighing other options, in recognition of the fact that with enough personal development and searching, it's possible to get a real life one if you want it enough (if Stephen Hawking with motor neurone disease that made him paraplegic can, and in the process have 3 kids, I'm gonna put a little faith in humanity again and say the r/waifuists can too), or is it a decision made out of fear of having to face yourself, live up to expectations of others and deal with the unpredictability that comes with a relationship existing outside your mindscape?

Secondly, I wouldn't call it a "beneficial" temporary cope mechanism for the majority of people in that sub. Not when every other day there is a new tirade on someone being bothered by ship art, a waifu being in a relationship, having a crush on a character in canon, or some other triviality. Then on the days when their not doing that, their discussing channeling, tulpas, how to interpret their own hallucinations, what should I tell my therapist/should I go to a therapist, how do I tell my parents their bloodline ends with me and so on. It's a cesspool of adolescent problems, that, compounded with their waifuist status and obligatory imaginary lover exercises that is making these people neurotic and irrefutably worse off then they would be had they moved on. Even in the situation where a person, or a small group of people, in r/waifuism aren't contributing to this I would argue those posts would be mentally damaging to anyone to read as a spectator, much less as a member forced to tolerate it.

I'm gonna offer a solution for people who still remain waifuists despite considering the previous points: escape and make your own communities with a small circle of friends who bring out the best in you. The fact is, r/waifuism is haphazardly strung together, has a name snipe that makes it popular as a sub for waifuists, and is poorly managed, thus it's a mixed bag of some tolerables, with mostly degenerates. It's only use is as a psychology case study and maybe as a hub that branches off to other communities. You'd be better off blazing your own trail. All I ask is less emphasis on imagining fantasy scenarios, and more into actualization. In my opinion, the only love worth having is the kind that translates into action and results.

I want to see giant bronze, ivory and marble statues, beautiful works of art, writing, projects, digital or otherwise, that demonstrate this love you claim to have. I'm tired of seeing the same comically lousy crap, it was cute and funny back in 2016, it's just sad now.

Interesting that you mention this, because I have a friend who used to post in r/waifuism (she lurked this thread out of amusement and was the one who introduced me to Kiwifarms). She left the waifuism "community", deleted her reddit account, and just practices waifuism on her own. From what she has confided to me, her "relationship" with the character she loves has inspired her to be more kind and forgiving, and she has started volunteering with animals and tutoring math to younger students, kind of like being the embodiment of the character she loves and channeling his "spirit" through her actions, or something like that. She's a much happier person compared to a few years ago because of it, judging by what I've observed during the few years of our friendship.

Dude, not sure if you know this but she has her own thread now.

This particular paragraph stuck out to me, I realized "waifuism" is a term pretty much EXCLUSIVELY used by their subreddit, and they're so insulated in their community that they don't even realize that.

I don't think that's the message here at all!

I think the message here is that Kiwifarms is kinder and more compassionate than those waifu assholes who pretend to be on your side. Decency and goodwill can come from anyone, even those you perceive to be enemies. And, while we may laugh at your posts, we don't laugh because we hate you; we laugh because we love sanity and truth.

Thank you, Good Samaritan Farmers, for not abandoning Frank West Guy in his hour of need.

It's got to be an imposter. Nobody would willingly waifu Armin Tamzarian Snake.
