This is some of the creepiest shit I've ever read.

I'm so, so glad I got out of the waifu subculture before I delved into the calm insanity these guys are in.

Also, the sheer passive-aggressive misogyny!

    -unignore lists Chagen-

    -reads /mai/ waifu-

    ....I still don't understand how people can fall in love with characters and OC's. I know I made one of my childhood imaginary friends into an OC and shaped him into one of my perfect friends in the stories, but this mentality is beyond me.

    It's so...discouraging to read what they say when you know in your mind that they are talking about being in love with somebody who doesn't exist.

    I want to make a thread pointing their ridiculousness (and misogyny). But they all are in one massive group who do nothing but reassure themselves that they're normal, so they're far too off the deep end to even bother trying to reason with.

    Also, I used to sound like these guys. Holy fuck what was wrong with me.

    I mean, I like Yoshika, but I'm thinking she's my god damn spouse or something.
  • DYREDYRE
    Alternatively, you could not be an asshole, but whatever.

    Though yes you did used to sound like those people but I wasn't aware that you ever stopped.  Perhaps I just didn't notice since you never made an announcement that "I NO LONGER WANT TO MARRY YOSHIKA MIYAFUJI" though if you had I would have said "Good, she's the most boring character anyway."

    DYRE, who is your waifu or husbandu or futa-buu?
  • ChagenChagen
    [tɕagɛn]
    SHUT UP ABOUT MAI WAIFU DYRE

    And you cannot be seriously denying the calm insanity of these guys. And the misogyny, they hate all real women because they're not perfect?

    Deal with it, because you're (not you, DYRE, the plural you--I'm reffering to /mai/) not perfect--in fact, you're probably a fat mouth-breathing neckbeard nerd who could never get pussy even if you tried. Don't hate women just because you can't get laid.
  • DYREDYRE
    ^^ I don't have one.

    But don't get the mistaken impression that it's because I'm more well-adjusted than the people that do, or that I don't feel attraction to fictional characters.  It's just that I can't make up my mind...

    It'd probably be Rin Kokonoe or Yui Hirasawa or Tsumugi Kotobuki or Ahiru or Sakura Kinomoto, though.  Yui and Mugi are obviously lesbians though so I wouldn't have much of a chance with them, Ahiru is a duck and Sakura is better when paired with Tomoyo.  So looking at this practically, Rin is the best choice, plus she's apparently not too picky about guys since she fell in love with Aoki after knowing him for like, five minutes.

    The word "waifu" was used 25 times on the first page alone...

    ^^ Nah.  There's an in-story reason why that happens.  The biggest being that she's 8 years old and so probably isn't going to put that much thought into things like that anyway...  But there's other reasons.
  • ChagenChagen
    [tɕagɛn]
    From what I've seen and heard of her, Rin is far, far, FAR smarter and more mature than most normal 8-year-olds.
  • DYREDYRE
    edited 2011-04-14 22:08:04
    Uh... sort of.

    But it's basically just that Aoki was the exact opposite of their previous teacher, who Rin hated (understatement...), and seeing that Aoki was nice she very quickly developed a crush on him (also because it was fun to tease him, also because Rin is pretty screwed up psychologically) and then it developed from there.
  • DYREDYRE
    Not that I've heard of.  Obviously, there are people who have crushes or whatever on male characters, but I haven't really heard of anyone taking it as far as most people with waifus.  And even if there are a few, it certainly doesn't seem to be nearly as common.
  • VorpyVorpy

    husbu/husbandu I guess.

    I just made up futa-buu because it was a cute word.
  • DYREDYRE
    I can't think of any futas.

    Obviously this is a sign I need to look at more futanari porn.

    ...or... something...

    maybe not.

    Meh, I wish realistic hermaphrodites didn't come with so many cons. I would like to not have to decide preference constantly.
  • DYREDYRE
    edited 2011-04-14 22:25:37
    Wouldn't being specifically attracted to only hermaphrodites also count as a preference?

    Or am I misunderstanding you?
  • VorpyVorpy
    ☭Unstoppable Sex Goddess☭
    Well I mean I wouldn't have to choose between males or females when I wanted to have sex.

    I go after people I like, not by gender. Gender only matters when it comes to sex, really. (subjective)

    I can certainly understand some degree of Perverse Sexual Lust for a character, but this is just creepy.

    I think these people are aware that the characters their "waifu"s are not real; they just try to ignore that when thinking about them.

    The only anime character I could possibly have this much of an obsession with would be Yoshika Miyafuji.

    And even then, there's still a large gulf between me and them.

    I'm not seeing misogyny, unless "not attracted to" means "hate".

    I wut'd.


    husbu/husbandu I guess.


    "Hazubando". There's no "s" or "du" in japanese.
  • DYREDYRE
    Well, there sort of is a "du."  I'm pretty sure デュ is pronounced pretty much like "du."  Still, yeah.  It'd be "hazubando".
  • StormtroperStormtroper

    Oh yah, forgot about that one.

    Edit: Wait, no, now I see that you meant that one is pronounced "dyu", not "du". Now I feel silly.

    IJBM: What happens when two or more ronery share the same waifu? I was surprised how little that seemed to happen on the first few pages at least, everyone seemed to have a different one (gotta give them credit for variety I guess...?) Is it considered cheating?

    so1: My waifu is Fate Testarossa.
    so2: No! Feito is MAI waifu!
    so1: Fate-chan! How could you!

    As someone who resembles that description, I think that's the point.  A lot of guys discover that they just aren't appealing to women.  Many become misogynists.  An imaginary friend is better than nothing at all.

    To quote Anonymous 04/10/11(Sun)09:26 No. 2267, "Using 'share' was wrong. Instead, I'll say this: You are a great person with great taste. I hope she's making you as happy as she makes me."

    So the people on /mai/ are "happy" if delusional, but the people on /so/ are depressed but see the reality of their situation.

    Which situation is better?

    ^^^ Heresy, Feito Fate is Nanoha's waifu, of course (although that probably doesn't count since both are real in-universe).

    I guess, the fact that they aren't real makes "sharing" a non-issue, since fictional characters can't really cheat on real persons (man, that sounds even more nonsensical than I thought).

    I just went the first time there, through the "wut" link in Stormtrooper's post and I actually chuckled a bit. But I have to wonder if they are all serious. I can imagine that some just pretend to be... like them, for the lulz.
  • RatixRatix
    ^ True, it's not like it would be hard, even having a huge folder of your fav. character seems to be pretty typical. Not so sure on the /so/ side.
