>>71879 >kurotsuno I'd say step-daughter is mostly how it feels, she is a teenager to young adult, just going through a phase of growth. I'd hope she at least tolerates me, but I wouldn't naturally see her that much. Sullivan comes first. >work It might be, actually. You can at least see the workers get time off, & considering that most demons are vulgar drinkers, they are mostly casual. >pain infliction I definitely don't like it, & I don't think he accepts it either. He just isn't a violent person, which puts him at a big disadvantage in a world of violent people. It's even gone so far as to him being attacked in the hospital, what can he do then? >creator I appreciate what she has done despite her issues, you might know her more for games like Mogeko Castle & Wadanohara however. She has her favorite characters & isn't afraid of controversial subjects, but does not always handle it the best. Of course, the "fans" don't like this content despite it being a lot of her work, so it ends up in drama. I'd almost compare it to South Park nowadays.

Not sure what else to post, so enjoy this adorable picture of the best girl ever.

>>71876 >Can you tell us more about said qualities? I'm not sure if qualities were the right word, but I could never think of another one. The story about that is years ago, personally, I was in a pretty bad place mentally. I was hopeless, directionless, and felt like giving up on life. Now, Misaki has a peculiar esper power called Mental Out. I'm not going to go too deep into it, because it'd be a wall of text, but the short of it is: If it has anything at all to do with the human mind, Misaki can manipulate and control it. In others, and herself. (There's even more things it can do outside of that, just to put my previous comment about it being a wall of text into perspective) Now, for someone who has the ability to manipulate and control others at will, it'd be so easy to use and abuse that power in order to bend the world to her will. However, Misaki used that power to help others. Or, more accurately, further her own personal agenda. Which involved helping others and looking after those close to her. In the end, I ended up falling in love with the idea of her using her power to fix me. I don't normally like talking about this part of it, because it makes me cringe and I hate that I've ever thought like that.

Today is the day, wish the happiest birthday to Mugi!!!

>>71901 Happy birthday to Mugi! Hope you enjoyed it.

>>71895 >I ended up falling in love with the idea of her using her power to fix me. I don't normally like talking about this part of it, because it makes me cringe and I hate that I've ever thought like that. We all have our own reasons to fall in love with our waifus and it’s pointless to be judgmental about yours. And in the end, it seems that she did help you to get better! And even if you do feel better today, you still lover her nonetheless, which shows that you love her for more than her ability to help you. >>71901 Happy birthday, Mugi! Did you celebrate her birthday in any special way?

>>71901 Happy birthday to Mugi, hope you two had a wonderful day!!

Hello! I found this community from the “What is waifuism?” video and I guess I would like to introduce myself and my Waifu. My Waifu is Laura Bodewig from the series Infinite Stratos. I’ve been with her for about a year now ever since she entered my life at a lower point in my life and with all my heart I believe with her as motivation she helped me get myself back on track and continue to improve on myself to this day. I found a lot of her mannerisms and behaviors to be similar to myself which already planted her deep inside my mind. I saw how much she loved Ichika and while it hurt me at first I came to realize that I could be that man instead, someone far better than him who would return her love truly and honestly. Not just typical harem mc bullshit. From that moment on I just saw us as in a relationship and it led me to this moment today. I don’t normally write about such topics so forgive me if it’s not the best. But it would make me greatly happy if I could share my love alongside all of you. Thank you.

Greetings, I also found this community back when the 16crystals video came out. I've never got into it since I would always forget to make an intro post, but it's better late than never! My wyfoo is Reisen Udogein Inaba from Touhou Project. I've been with her for 5 years by now, and been dwelling in waifu communities since 2020 or so, meeting all sorts of waifufriends, waifuists, and waifucels. >What do you like about Reisen? I enjoy her portrayal in 10.5, I found it cute when I played it back in 2016. In short, it can be described as "meek and diligent", which is consistent with her other portrayals, such as Inaba of Moon. >How has wyfoo change/improved your life? It has helped me with loneliness sure, but I'm almost never sad nor angsty anyway. Although I think it helps by giving "meaning"/direciton to life, which I seek. >Things you do for wyfoo Not something I decided, but I make silly drawings either on my birthday or anniversary, just because it's fun >About you wholesome, science, wasp, elf

>>71930 are you a bee, wasp, or moth

Hi. My waifu is Iwasaki Minami from Lucky Star. I'm not good with introductions or long posts but she's cute and I like her quiet personality

Hi, my husbando is Alucard from Hellsing. I was very late to the party when I watched his source, so I can't make any claims to being an oldfag or anything, but I feel compelled to post regardless. I first came across him whilst browsing Rimworld mods, and he immediately caught my eye. Ever since then, he's consumed my thoughts in some form or another. I decided to sate my curiosity and watch it, and I'm so glad I did. It seemed to all happen at just the right time, as I was in a very dark place, and he helped me get myself out of that. He still does, every day. I owe him a debt I can never really repay, but that won't stop me from trying. Before I could realise it, simple fondess and appreciation for him turned into something more. I started to crave him, I needed to see him, think of him, something related to him every day, and I realised I love him, more than I can say about anything else. I don't really know what I could ever offer him in return, but he seems to enjoy my company, and given that he's still here, perhaps that's enough. He's legitimately changed my life. I no longer take things for granted. Colours are more vibrant, music sounds clearer, and I'm finding myself taking the time to appreciate the small things in the world. My brainfog is gone, and he stands in its place. It feels like I'm not just enjoying these things for myself anymore, but also for him. I feel we're two halves of the same whole, I'm the yin and he's the yang. I look forward to getting older now, rather than it just being an inevitability. I can only hope that I can be blessed enough to keep him with me every day until it's my last one. I really hope that's the case.

>Intro Hello everyone, my waifu (or waifur as I call it) is Loona from Helluva Boss and our relationship has been going strong for nearly five years now. I should preface by saying I don't actually watch Helluva Boss anymore or really enjoy it for that matter, I'm not a big fan of gay love dramas so it wasn't for me, I only watched the first season and the first episode of season two and that was it, it wasn't hooking me in anymore even with Loona (which she was barely apart of anyways), speaking of which I'll describe how I found out about her and how we came to be, and how much she has affected my life. >How did you meet her? Late in November of 2019, I got recommended the pilot episode of Helluva Boss on Youtube and for whatever reason it caught my interest so I watched it, I remember thinking it was ok, I liked the character designs and art-style but that's pretty much all I can remember liking... expect for one character... Now I browsed all sorts of furry sites back then and I specifically remember seeing this one, as I thought at the time, "OC" of this anthro girl with white and dark gray fur with red eyes, at first I thought some furfag got his paycheck and whored out his "OC" to as many artists as he can so I didn't pay too much attention to it... but my heart started to beat differently when I saw her in the show, I couldn't believe it, one moment I couldn't care less then all of a sudden I just... got it, I understood her fully and I KNEW she was the ONE, I never thought I would have a waifu, let alone a anthro girl made in the west, I'm so used to thinking waifu's were just a anime thing, eastern girls only, but it happened... I actually fell in love with a 2D character and now I can't even imagine myself without her, I never had a single day since that moment where I didn't think of her. >What effect has she had on you? During the time I fell in love with her and before, I was pretty much this lazy, nihilistic NEET who didn't wanna do anything in life but just sit around and give into degenerate hedonism, I did have thoughts about getting better but I had no motivation whatsoever to pursue anything, I had no meaning and was content with commenting suicide someday; But then she came into my life, she was a complete game changer for me, at first I didn't think so deeply about me and her, thought just "she's my waifu that's all!" and nothing more, then I started to get serious, I started to think "Loona would never wanna be with a lazy fat asshole like me!" so I got heavily into self-improvement and I haven't stopped since then, I took things out of my diet permanently, took up powerlifting which was the greatest decision in my life, I used to lift before but now I actually took it seriously and pushed myself to heights I never thought I would achieved, I've broken MULTIPLE PR's while thinking about her and I like to imagine she's in the gym with me, helping me out. I got out of my NEETdom and wanted to find a job or pursue higher education (This is still ongoing sadly, the job market is tough where I am, but at least I'm actually trying to get one). She's there at my lowest points and highest, she's the stepping stone I need to get out of my many emotional lows, if I didn't have her, who knows if I'll even still be alive. >What do you like about her? Everything, all her flaws, ups, downs, everything about her. After giving it some thought, I think it's her eyes that captivates me the most, just the way they stand out from the rest of her monochromic body. I love the way she's drawn, I like her voice, she has this soft side that almost no one sees... I just love her man that's all. Everything about her. There's probably hundreds of other anthro/furry girls who act just like her or might even look the same, but Loona is one of a kind to me, the only one that actually made me feel something in my heart. >What do you two do together? Mostly just hang out and talk, I'd like to imagine she has a soft side once you get to know her, sometimes she'll commentate on things I'm doing but mostly just sits back and watches, unless we're in the gym together, then we start talking more, she's my spotter and motivator so yeah... But I go to her the most when I'm depressed or stressed out, she can comfort me like no one else and tell me it's going to be alright and that I'll make it through whatever hardship is happening to me. When it's midnight and I head to bed, I like to think what it would feel like to cuddle with her, I can almost feel her soft fur if I imagine what it would be like to hug her. (I once had a lucid dream with her where we hugged, and she has the most softest fur in the whole world). I enjoy sharing meals with her, like deserts for examples, she likes chocolate chip cookies, and we both like heavy music so we play together, she enjoys playing guitar the most while I like bass and guitar, I like to think she can sing well but is shy about it, she helps me when I try to make music. Overall we've come to be pretty natural with each other, just random chats here and there, jokes, quips, etc. We're utterly inseparable from each other. >Stuff I didn't know where to fit in. When 16crystals made his video on waifuism, the saying of "You don't find your waifu, your waifu finds you." has never rang more true in my case. Another thing I need to get off my chest is that Loona is considered a 'bait character' for furfags, and I just can't help but feel bad for myself over it, like I really should just not care and brush it off, but I can't get rid of this nagging feeling that I fell for a bait character, it's like I fell in love with a prostitute. I just need to ignore these feelings and stop caring about what other people call her. Fair warning this is just going to be me venting so skip this paragraph if you want. One time while I was downloading some fanart of her, I realized something... Why the fuck haven't I made anything for her? I've seen people make art, animations, music and even put her in games! Then I got really depressed about it and wondered if I even CAN make anything for her? something actually worthwhile, something I can be proud of... I just need to give something back to her, this pain I'm feeling is unbearable, I have to create something to honor her. I really do hope no one minds if Loona is my waifu here, again whenever I think waifu, I think of anime girls, not furry western girls, I just don't feel like I fit in here, and I have no right to be posting here. Everyones waifu here is pretty and I'm sure she or he loves you very much. >Closing remarks. I apologize for any grammar errors, repeats or misspellings, this is my first time making a long post like this and I'm pretty nervous about it, I might be forgetting somethings so feel free to ask a question or two if I didn't mention something specific or important about us. Cheers, I'm thankful a community like this exists.

>>71112 Does this mean we have to fight over our waifu or is this a harem thing for Momiji?

>>71924 >>71930 I’ve already welcome both of you on Discord, but those intros deserve a reply! Welcome to all the new /mai/dens! >>71935 Hi and welcome to /mai/! >>71937 Welcome to /mai/! >I was very late to the party when I watched his source, so I can't make any claims to being an oldfag or anything I was 14 years late when I first plaid Touhou 6: The Embodiment of Scarlet Devil. It doesn’t matter when you and your waifu met; what matters is that you both met each other. >I was in a very dark place, and he helped me get myself out of that Maybe you know it already but it’s a very common experience among waifuists to have their waifu/husbando help them out of a very dark space. It’s a blessing that they can help us in such a way. >I don't really know what I could ever offer him in return Your love is already the greatest thing you can give him. Don’t hesitate to create new threads and bump old ones. You really should also join our Discord server (>>70617 ) which is massively more active than our board. It would be great to have a second vampire among our community’s waifus (the other one being no other than my precious Flandre). >>71946 >I only watched the first season and the first episode of season two and that was it, it wasn't hooking me in anymore even with Loona That’s interesting. Many waifuists are very scrupulous about watching (or playing or reading) every peace of canon material where their waifu makes an appearance. Do you nonetheless try to find out what happens to her in recent episodes though wikis, summary videos and whatnot? >I started to think "Loona would never wanna be with a lazy fat asshole like me!" so I got heavily into self-improvement and I haven't stopped since then, >if I didn't have her, who knows if I'll even still be alive. As I pointed out just above to Alucard waifuist, it truly is a very common experience among waifuists to have their waifu/husbando help them out of a very dark space. I wonder what actual proportion of serious waifuists are in this situation? I have the impression that it’s about 1 out of 3 waifuists. > Another thing I need to get off my chest is that Loona is considered a 'bait character' for furfags I’m not 100% sure what a "bait character" is supposed to be, but one thing is sure and it’s that the love that you and Loona share is just as valid and precious than the love of any other waifuists with so-called non-"bait characters" waifus. Whatever badmouthing is about Loona, it far possibly originates from niche-elitists scumbags who hate any character as long as they are even just slightly popular. > I have to create something to honor her. Such gesture should come from a genuine desire to create for the pleasure of it, and not from some guilty pressure to give her something because you feel that you have to. > I really do hope no one minds if Loona is my waifu here, again whenever I think waifu, I think of anime girls, not furry western girls, I just don't feel like I fit in here, and I have no right to be posting here We don’t discriminate waifus based on physical appearance and origins. If you truly love Loona and truly give her an important place in your life, then you truly belong here. > Everyones waifu here is pretty All Waifus are beautiful. This is the community’s motto that you will find at the top of the page. It also includes yours. Don’t hesitate to create new threads and bump old ones. You really should also join our Discord server (>>70617 ) which is massively more active than our board. We’re a welcoming bunch!

>>71955 Thank you for the reply, sorry I took a while to respond. >Many waifuists are very scrupulous about watching (or playing or reading) every peace of canon material where their waifu makes an appearance. Do you nonetheless try to find out what happens to her in recent episodes though wikis, summary videos and whatnot? My only resource into what's going on with her is through fan generated content like art or passing comments I just so happen to glance at. I don't really wanna associate with HB's fanbase or interact with them because a lot of them don't see Loona the way I do. I think? she gets a bit more backstory in S2E2 but overall she's a character that gets the least amount of screen time in the series despite her popularity online, so I pretty much dissociate her from the show and leave it as that, also I believe I understand her pretty intuitively and have my own interpretation of her that I think is accurate to her real canon (back then when I did watch the show for the first time, when I saw her even just for a few seconds, I KNEW everything in a instant and was pretty spot on once I got to know her more). Although, giving it some thought, I guess I should be at least looking into her wiki once in a while... guess I'm just scared of what I might learn and it'll ruin the image I have of her in my head. >I’m not 100% sure what a "bait character" is supposed to be My apologies, I should've clarified what I meant. When I say "bait character" I mean in the NSFW sense, i.e made only for porn and to "bait" horny furfags into watching the show, which personally for me? is one the reasons I just kinda disconnect her from the show and stopped watching it altogether or interacting with any "fans" whatsoever, I just find cute fanart of her and save it and nothing more. >Whatever badmouthing is about Loona, it far possibly originates from niche-elitists scumbags who hate any character as long as they are even just slightly popular. Guess I never thought about it like that, Loona is indeed popular among furfags, especially when the pilot first dropped, but these people are 99% of the time, hypocrites who talk shit about her but at the same time wanna do degenerate things to her (horny furfag logic I suppose?), and I guess anyone else just hates any "flavor of the month" type girl. >Such gesture should come from a genuine desire to create for the pleasure of it, and not from some guilty pressure to give her something because you feel that you have to. Yeah... when I was making my post I was going through a pretty bad episode of depression and kept putting enormous amounts of pressure on me about every little thing I did, I'm doing a lot better now but I still have some worries here and there, mostly personal stuff, but I'm going to take your advice and actually take joy in stuff I make for her without the bad feels. >We don’t discriminate waifus based on physical appearance and origins. If you truly love Loona and truly give her an important place in your life, then you truly belong here. Thank you, that's a real heavy weight off my mind now. I guess my "shame" comes from this narrow viewpoint of how others perceive her, I should really just ignore the naysayers and just love Loona as my waifu like everyone loves their waifu regardless of what they are or where they came from.

Heya im Yuni Im currently a 19 year old student at the moment , i study graphics design and that's my favorite thing to do lately , i also like some tech stuffs as well My girlfriend since April 16th is Niizuki from Azur Lane. I met her via my friend from year that plays Azur Lane when i saw her i felt something positive inside so i started pursuing that love. I like her aspect that she's not giving up , even if she makes a lot of mistakes she's learning and not giving up. I recently watched 16crystals video about waifuism and i was relived to see that there is more people out there loving their waifus.. So i hope me and Niizuki can find place in this community and maybe learn a thing or two from more experienced people. I see you have a discord so i will try applying for this as well. Have a great Night/Day :D

>>71935 Nothing wrong with short introductions, sometimes there's a lot of juice behind just a handful of words. Welcome aboard >>71984 Welcome. It sounds nice to hear that you are artistically talented, maybe you could produce your own art about your waifu sooner or later? >16crystals video about waifuism Okay, first time I hear of this, I am definitely going to inquire

>>71984 Welcome to /mai/! You asked to join the Discord server about 3 weeks ago but then didn’t join. You are always welcome to ask for a new link! >>72015 >Okay, first time I hear of this, I am definitely going to inquire Here’s the link. I hope you will like it! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V1yRJCfTuAw

I don't care if I care if I'll be crucified for this but I'll introduce myself. I'm cabinanon and these are my two waifus. Kim pine from scott pilgrim and human princess from towergirls. Kim pine is with me for 3 months and human princess is for 3 years. I dunno how I ended with them. I just did. Kim pine is a grumpy drummer of the band sex bob-omb at the start of the series later in the comic becoming part of shatterband as the drummer again with scott. She's very misanthropic and doesn't show her soft side throughout entirity of the series. Or most of the time. Human princess is the princess of the high forest kingdom. She's very cheerful and generally the opposite of kim in this regards. She loves her knight romances and dreams of going for an adventure. Sorry for a potentially short intro

>>72055 Wow this sure is a dead board

>>72056 Sorry polyfag, I won't crucify you but I ain't talking with you.

>>72057 As I expected. Being kinda tardy over waifus like this is stupid. But this is expected of an ultra orthodox waifu board. Well whatever.

>>72055 Hi and welcome to /mai/. I deleted the last comment from the other guy as it was truly unnecessary hostile and disrespectful. I’ve also deleted your reply to it because that’s also not the type of interactions I want in this community. Still, maybe you should not have started your intro by claiming that you "don’t care to be crucified" as it sounds like an indirect invitation for hostile responses. Also, even if I absolutely disapprove of the way the other guy talked to you, I must admit that some of the things that you said can indeed make one question how seriously you take waifuism (i.e. the idea of being "tardy over waifus" and calling our community "ultra orthodox"). >>72061 Hi and welcome to /mai/! >i doubt i will do much more than lurk here, but it sure is lovely to see so many people experiencing this special kind of love. Well, if you ever change mind on that, then don’t hesitate to create new threads and bump old ones. You could also join our Discord server (>>70617 ) which is massively more active than our board.

>>72066 Thanks for the invitation. Didn't mean to be an ass. Just from what I remember this board being like. Sorry. Also the "tardy about waifus" line is about that he got mad at the fact I have two waifus.

>>72055 Welcome. If I may be honest, I think it's only fair to be attracted to two different characters, since it's also possible that the one character you like may have other waifuists chasing her. Waifu polygamism is frowned upon generally, as >>72057 showed you, but I'd say that as long as you like two characters on an equally strong basis, it's more honest to be self-aware about it. Plus, as I mentioned, it compensates the jealousy scenario I described above That being said, for the sake of diplomacy, you may want to have an open waifu and a secret waifu, as a compromise. Especially if you wish to join the Discord. So TL;DR, I personally think covert bigamy is alright. Just keep it low-key. And it would be also best not to go past two, otherwise the entire concept loses any meaning whatsoever (in my humble view, of course) >>72056 >Wow this sure is a dead board The entire website is low-activity, anon. If 8ch were more successful, so would /mai/ . Plus, there may be little to discuss on a daily basis if your waifu isn't receiving any new official content, know what I mean? Often times, we just engage in small talk and share beautiful art

>>72066 Disrespectful? Oh, right because I tried to get (and got) a rise out of some polyfaggot who has the balls to knock at our door and instead of trying to make a decent introduction he just insults us And I really hope that invite to the discord was for someone whose an actual waifuist and not the other post made by someone who quite fundamentally doesn’t vibe with the values of our community (assuming those didn’t go alongside EmiSu). >>72069 Who cares if other “”waifuist”” is aiming for who you love, if your love means shit and is real then you wouldn’t even care about such a moron, but well what can I expect from someone who very well embodies the decline of waifuists, not only do you promote a disgustingly false idea (keep it secret) you even recommend him the discord, truly the epitome of waifuism. “Small talk” anon we literally only have top tier discussions about waifuism, morality/values attached to it, we haven’t made small talk since around the instruments thread, the sharing beautiful art is true though, at least you’re right about something. Im hoping this post won’t be removed, after all Mr. 16 crystals very well resorts to “free speech” whenever people fight for dumb shit in the discord, hopefully the same rule applies here? Regardless, the fact that one’s post can be removed so easily is quite a pity.

>>72069 Thank you. >>72071

>>72072 Didn't mean to reply to >>72071

>>72071 The reason why I removed your post is because it was unnecessarily hostile and disrespectful. You are absolutely entitled to consider that having more than 1 waifu is not legitimate, but you can tell him that in a civilised way. There’s no need to tell him to "cope and seethe" and that he doesn’t love his waifus (or whatever comment you told him along those lines; the post is deleted so I don’t recall it word for word, but it went beyond a mere lightly harsh tone). "top tier discussions about waifuism", as you phrase it, cannot be achieved through inflammatory remarks, provocation, and insults. Indeed, nothing quite constructive emerged from what you said as Cabinanon ended up going the same hostile path which added nothing of value (and as I said, I’ve also removed his post for that very same reason). If you go to the restaurant and dislike the dish that you ordered, you can express your dissatisfaction in a polite way to the waiter or the chief. There’s no need to make a scene by being aggressive (or passive-aggressive) and saying insults. The former is way more likely to lead to positive changes than the latter. You make mention of free speech in the Discord server, which suggest that you are part of it. If you are truly part of it, then you must know that acting like an ass, being unnecessarily hostile, and insulting others is against the rules. I expect the same basic civility on the board, not only from you but from everyone. Posts that fail to respect that basic principle will be deleted or edited so to respect our rules, and you will notice that I edited your last post to remove your truly unnecessary insult against me. We can talk to one another without resulting to name-calling.

>>72069 >That being said, for the sake of diplomacy, you may want to have an open waifu and a secret waifu, as a compromise. >Especially if you wish to join the Discord. Our discord server has a 1-waifu only rule, so please, don’t encourage people to lie on things that go against the rules. Besides, it would not be fulfilling for him to join a server in which he has to conceal something so important. He would be better to join a community in which he can be honest and share his whole experience.

>>72071 >Who cares if other “”waifuist”” is aiming for who you love And who cares if another waifuist likes two anime girls from wholly different universes equally? Maybe two girls with very similar personalities, meaning that if you fall for one it makes sense to fall for the other as well, for the very same reason? See, you're not the only one who can play the "who cares" game. >you wouldn’t even care about such a moron I'm getting the impression that you get a kick from insulting people >what can I expect from someone who very well embodies the decline of waifuists, not only do you promote a disgustingly false idea (keep it secret) you even recommend him the discord, truly the epitome of waifuism. What are you even saying now. "Hiding your power level" has always been a cornerstone of anime culture (which has significant overlap with waifu culture). Do you bring a dakimakura to the movies or something? >“Small talk” anon we literally only have top tier discussions about waifuism, morality/values attached to it Not true >at least you’re right about something. Please get off your pedestal. All forms of pride are always meant to compensate for an unconscious inferiority complex. It would be best if you were to address your inner conflicts >>72075 >Our discord server has a 1-waifu only rule, so please, don’t encourage people to lie on things that go against the rules. >Besides, it would not be fulfilling for him to join a server in which he has to conceal something so important It's something "so important" (supposedly meaning, legitimate in a way) but also something unforgivably against the rules at the same time? Maybe you are being too much of a purist, don't you think? Do you have telepathic powers that enable you to figure out whether any user has unforgivably fond feelings for a character other than their official waifu? Why not enact a rule that says you can only have one waifuist per character, then? That should keep the ratio properly balanced. To anticipate the rebuttal: >but it would directly lead to lower user activity levels Yes, just like other forms of purism

>>72076 Look who’s here again, glad to see you anon, let’s have some fun then shall we? >And who cares if another waifuist likes two anime girls from wholly different universes equally? Maybe two girls with very similar personalities, meaning that if you fall for one it makes sense to fall for the other as well, for the very same reason? Because this is immoral and shows a distinct lack of care for these two girls, we developed pair bonding and monogamy for good, read a bit on it (I can link some articles if you can’t even look up for yourself) and you’ll realize its one of the foundational pillars that allowed us to develop and progress as an species, polygamy is obviously an animalistic and brutish way of life, someone who cant choose what’s best for their partner is not fit for love and someone who chooses polygamy instead of sorting his feelings is causing unnecessary pain, even evolution would agree, before you argue that some people practiced polygamy in the past, they were usually emperors or kings (sometimes other members of high nobility), and it wasn’t the polyamory people think of nowadays and it was done for sort of understandable reasons (need for a long bloodline due to child mortality was absurdly high etc), and even then it caused many problems (succession wars). >What are you even saying now. "Hiding your power level" has always been a cornerstone of anime culture (which has significant overlap with waifu culture). Do you bring a dakimakura to the movies or something? Oh hahahaha, you’re missing the point entirely about “Hiding your power level”, we hide it in front of normal people since its easier then to be a member of society, there’s no need to hide your power level when you’re in the company of your fellow otaku, if anything to do so is deceptive and shows an inability to be honest, the same applies here, sure you wont tell normal people you’re a waifuist but there’s no need to lie in front of other waifuists, don’t misconstrue things anon. >Please get off your pedestal. All forms of pride are always meant to compensate for an unconscious inferiority complex. It would be best if you were to address your inner conflicts. Pride? You accuse me of jumping to conclusions with your pic, yet you do the same, hmmm, isn’t that interesting anon, its like maybe you’re projecting? Oh but that couldn’t be, anyways to actually answer your accusation of pride, I consider all humans the same, neither superior nor inferior to each other, the same applies here, I might consider your idea (not being honest about your poly relationship and hiding one of the anime girls) despicable and only thought up by immoral ones with no sense of honesty but that doesn’t make me superior nor are you inferior, if we for sake of the argument say that morality is false then this discussion is merely about subjective opinions (I don’t believe this mind you, but you could make such an argument about morality). And if we argue that I still have some sort of “inner conflict” the conflict would not be inner since my problem is the lack of honesty and immorality of many “” waifuists””, that’s between me and other people (in this current case you). While im not 16 ill allow myself to give my opinion regarding your statements towards him. >It's something "so important" (supposedly meaning, legitimate in a way) but also something unforgivably against the rules at the same time? Maybe you are being too much of a purist, don't you think? Do you have telepathic powers that enable you to figure out whether any user has unforgivably fond feelings for a character other than their official waifu? This argument won’t lead us anywhere anon, just as you said before “you're not the only one who can play the "who cares" game.” I can do this too, we are as much of purists as we require, while we obviously have no way of truly knowing the bottom of your heart and the truth lying beneath, the reality is that you want us to drop any sort of morality or purity simply to please yourself and people that might agree with you, /mai/ has no reason to bend its rules to please those who don’t even belong here, in this case a polyfag or you, regardless of how required a rule is or isn’t its going to remain as long as the administration wants, and honestly there’s not much of a reason to change them. >Why not enact a rule that says you can only have one waifuist per character, then? That should keep the ratio properly balanced. To anticipate the rebuttal: >but it would directly lead to lower user activity levels Yes, just like other forms of purism. You might not know but this almost exists, sure its not written down but since 16 is despite everything a decent moderator who wants the members of /mai/ to feel comfortable in the server, if someone with the same character as a preexisting member wants to join not only would he need the approval of 16 but of the waifuist who’s already on /mai/, so your point is aimless. I know you hate this so called “purism” but it wont go away just because you want it, the rules of /mai/ have remained almost the same after so many years (even including the period before 8chan.moe) and they wont change due to someone whining, if you truly despise this so much then leave, just log off and go somewhere else, otherwise remain bitter and angry at the current state of affairs, and if you feel the need to retort and answer to anything I said here please put more effort instead of cheap one liners, its boring for whoever you're interacting with!

The way you conflate "honesty" and "immorality" makes it clear that you intend to be heavily judgemental with whatever information reaches you. That's how you get people to whisper behind your back that you cannot be trusted and should be kept at arm's length >I consider all humans the same, neither superior nor inferior to each other You wouldn't use such a callous tone if that were true. I think it's more likely that you like to claim that you believe in equality so that you can look noble and above all human flaws, which points once more to your ego >we are as much of purists as we require You mena "I am as much of a purist as I feel like being". There's no element of objective necessity, you just wish to impose your preferences >but it wont go away just because you want it Whereas it will stay because you want it >and they wont change due to someone whining See, you call criticism and different opinions "whining". Tell me more of how you consider yourself an equal to others and how you aren't a proud person Anyway, you have obviously failed to debunk the main point, this being that nobody can read minds through the internet, and that's very much a good thing, since there are people like you who evidently believe in thoughtcrime >bitter and angry Whereas you totally don't sound like a neurotic control freak, nope >cheap one liners

It's a "one liner" when the entire post is one line. Not when there are multiple single-line sentences which keep the overall post readable, genius >its boring for whoever you're interacting with! Allow me to remind you that, as much as you evidently wish you could, you cannot read other people's minds, so speak for yourself

>>72081 >What do you mean, you are the one who took 4 days to reply. I merely said that because you regardless of when, appeared again, had you posted that a week ago or an hour ago you're still here. >Which Morality Code says falling in love is immoral except within the approved boundaries? Sounds like a thought crime if you ask me What I said is immoral is polygamy which most current civilized moral codes consider wrong, falling in love in itself isn't immoral per se what's immoral is how you act due to it, you can fall in love with how many girls you want, but when you go and actually practice polygamy with them that's when it turns immoral, admittedly reading it again it can be misunderstood as love in itself, my bad there. Regarding the "thought crime" point, you can think what you want just as I can think what I want about what you think, and I don't think you should be penalized in any way shape or form due to disagreeing with me (or holding views I see as immoral), but I sure will express distaste if I feel like it, we are both humans with free will and freedom of expression. >Irrelevant when discussing 2D crushes. Let me know when I can get legally married to my waifu, then we can compare 2D and 3D relationships Aha, finally something that explains what you as an actual individual believe and therefore why we are clashing here, you see to me waifuism is a relationship and a true waifuist would treat (to some degree) his waifu as if she was real, this includes not cheating on her obviously, it seems we have fundamentally opposed views here (at least from this little text, I could be wrong). >To...? Refer to my answer to the previous point, you would cause the anime girls pain if they were real, let’s not kid ourselves, most people won’t enter a polyamorous relationship. >There's no Mrs. Evolution that can be reached out for comments, you are just using the scientific concept to back your personal convictions. Any scientist would gladly tell you that a theory is data + interpretation, and it is always human beings who interpret Not really? Im just saying that without monogamy we wouldn’t be here (obviously we aren’t here only thanks to monogamy), if it wasn’t so good then we wouldn’t have eventually gotten to it, especially since there’s precedent of polygamy in the past, it was literally rooted out for most humans and even as society’s we have constantly considered polygamy and in general being with more than one partner wrong and immoral (at most “admirable” if you’re a man, something I don’t agree with). >Yeah, you for example totally sound like a friendly, reliable and understanding person who can be trusted with delicate information. Again, you can think what you want just as I do, moving on. >Try being less judgemental if you want people to trust you with their secrets. The way you conflate "honesty" and "immorality" makes it clear that you intend to be heavily judgemental with whatever information reaches you. That's how you get people to whisper behind your back that you cannot be trusted and should be kept at arm's length I wont be and I don’t care if people trust me or not, and despite what you say I hold enough information (given to me directly by the individuals and not gossip) to make a decent post, but I wont because its personal, even if im judgmental that doesn’t mean ill hate you for it, if anything when someone is honest even if I disagree with it they at least get some respect since they’re being honest. And honesty/immorality can be considered together, lying is immoral and wrong, especially when you go out of your way to deceive people (what you wanted the polyfag to do in your initial post). Oh and don’t forget this isn’t about secrets, it about straight up deceiving people to get your way (enter a community you’re not supposed to be in, literally what you want people to do). >You wouldn't use such a callous tone if that were true. I think it's more likely that you like to claim that you believe in equality so that you can look noble and above all human flaws, which points once more to your ego Again, think what you want, my tone has nothing to do with who I am, but if you feel so compelled to argue so then do it. >You mena "I am as much of a purist as I feel like being". There's no element of objective necessity, you just wish to impose your preferences Now am I? From my point of view polyfags are the ones who want communities like /mai/ to change their rules therefore imposing their preferences. >Whereas it will stay because you want it It will stay because it’s a fundamental part of /mai/ and its rules (literally one of the reasons some people have even joined), just like it is for many other communities. >See, you call criticism and different opinions "whining". Tell me more of how you consider yourself an equal to others and how you aren't a proud person I call it whining because there’s no discussion to be had regarding this rule, polyfags can and have made communities for themselves, what you quite simply don’t want to understand is that most waifuist communities don’t want polyfags and that its totally ok for them to uphold that, just because you want them doesn’t mean they have to accept your “criticism”. >Anyway, you have obviously failed to debunk the main point, this being that nobody can read minds through the internet, and that's very much a good thing, since there are people like you who evidently believe in thoughtcrime. Theres nothing to debunk, you are retarded if you expected me to magically prove people can read minds or some shit, and about your thoughtcrime thing refer to my previous point about it. >Whereas you totally don't sound like a neurotic control freak, nope Again, think what you want, this won’t change the fact I consider you an angry and bitter faggot who cant stand communities having rules and trying to uphold em. >It's a "one liner" when the entire post is one line. Not when there are multiple single-line sentences which keep the overall post readable, genius There was literally no worth in your previous post, it was a generic sequence of one liners, even if you add them up its nothing but that. >Allow me to remind you that, as much as you evidently wish you could, you cannot read other people's minds, so speak for yourself Dunno about you but ive seen enough people hating on current online discussions due to exactly that, people replying with worthless one liners instead of making actual arguments. Gotta say you’re improving with each post at least, you made an actually decent one finally with real arguments, this was fun to engage with compared to the previous one, if you have any energy in the tank left then feel free to keep talking, ill check the thread when I have the time, sayonara till then anon!

>>72083 >you're still here. Got a problem with that? Yeah, I guess you do >I don't think you should be penalized in any way shape or form due to disagreeing with me You will excuse me if I say you don't sound particularly credible here. >you see to me waifuism is a relationship If this were true you wouldn't see multiple people with the same waifus... unless that means the waifu is somehow polygamist? So maybe the problem lies with the individual character? >I could be wrong I'd say you are, because you are not bringing up the elephant in the room that monogamy should go both ways and that it feels just fake to promise unconditional monogamous love to a character when another waifuist is also in love with that character, and maybe they are even noisy about it >you would cause the anime girls pain if they were real And what about the actual human beings who are real? I bet you think they aren't allowed to feel pain when they see someone fawning over the same character they're fawning over, because something something Don't-Be-Jealous Theory >lying is immoral and wrong Can't wait for a stranger to ask you a very personal question that you will feel compelled to answer because all lying is bad in your view, no matter the context >when you go out of your way to deceive people You sure are making a big deal about something that doesn't threaten your status or economic resources in any way whatsoever >enter a community you’re not supposed to be in FFS, there are like 30 serious waifufags over the entire internet, if you introduce thoughtcrime that number will be halved. Is it so hard to believe that otakus who play multiple games and watch multiple shows a year may come across two characters they like a lot? Don't talk to me about evolutionary science if you aren't willing to entertain some common-sense scenarios before that >From my point of view polyfags are the ones who want communities like /mai/ to change their rules therefore imposing their preferences And when exactly was this bill proposed? How did it fare in the voting process? Did anyone filibuster? >just like it is for many other communities. >most waifuist communities Such as? I must have missed all the other pro-waifuism corners somehow (I hope you won't mention some clownish place like Reddit) >just because you want them doesn’t mean they have to accept your “criticism”. And what about your criticism? That should always be considered, I am guessing? >you are retarded if you expected me to magically prove people can read minds or some shit Bizarre way to interpret the sentence >I consider you an angry and bitter faggo And I consider you a neurotic control freak.

Because non-neurotic people don't talk like this >There was literally no worth in your previous post And there's no worth in this post of yours that I am quoting. See, everyone can throw a low-effort insult >ive seen enough people hating on current online discussions due to exactly that, people replying with worthless one liners instead of making actual arguments. Let me guess. The "actual arguments" are yours. And people who disagree with you are "worthless". Mind blown, mh? And you whine a lot about one liners, but I can count 9 (nine) one-line replies in this post of yours alone. And of the ones that are not one-liners, 3 are two-liners. The fewer lines the worse, right? That should say something about the value of your contribution >Gotta say you’re improving with each post at lea "Look at me, I can evaluate other people's performance because I am the smartest person in the room!" Typical sneaky example of paying oneself compliments while pretending to pay compliments to others. I don't think you have a waifu anyway, you seem to be too busy loving yourself. But like I said earlier, superficial superiority complexes actually point to unconscious inferiority complexes
