Why. Why can't there be waifu peace where everyone agrees on a girl?
And how do these wars happen?
Most notable wars were Nisekoi and Re:ZERO.
Like, come on man. No one wants to admit all waifus are equal?

waifu wars usually start when a girl that is very popular with the fans is getting the cold shoulder by the protagonist (as far as I observed) but it has other causes too.
To give you an example, in Macross F there are 2 girls and one of them is Ranka Lee who loves the main dude and has many scenes with him but the dude doesn't love her as much and he prefers the annoying bitch called Sheryl. Of course fans have to retaliate, no sane person would prefer Sheryl over Ranka. In that moment Sheryl fans start to act like smartasses and no one likes that. I am not that active in waifu wars but I will give it my all when the next Bleach will start, so to all Rukia fans, you have been warned, no one will insult Orihime and get away.

Now, 2021, I'm in a greater and more important war, I fight against Remfags on anime forums. One day the world will thank me as they thanked my great grandfather and my family will praise me.

Waifu wars start when a male protag cant make up his mind between the 11 girls fighting over him.

Rem is awful because of who she likes but I still think shes a cutie

Usually when a female character becomes popular it can happen but I havent seen a waifu war in quite a while.

A significant amount of research in international relations (IR) has been inspired by inquiry into the meaning, causes, and consequences of the phenomenon of war—both in contemporary global politics and throughout history. That inquiry has produced many contributions to thinking about “the war puzzle” in global politics, but no single or consensus theory of war (Vasquez 2009). In fact, the multiple causes of war make it too complicated for any single theory to cover (Suganami 1997). The complexity of the “war puzzle” has led to a significant amount of theorizing from diverse perspectives. This chapter will discuss many of those theories, and will show the ways in which they individually and collectively neglect gender. I argue that this neglect is problematic because war gender analysis is necessary to fully understand war. This chapter makes that argument first, by outlining a number of traditional approaches to war, and then by discussing the ways in which gender is key to understanding war—conceptually, empirically, and normatively.

From L. Sjoberg, "Theories of War", in F. Ní Aoláin et al. (eds.), The Oxford Handbook of Gender and Conflict, O.U.P. 2018, pp. 3-16. I'm not sure she is considering waifu wars, but I don't see why it should not apply. Stranger things have happened.

They are quite rare, though.. Some major wars are more in the past.. Nisekoi - past.. Re:Zero - knowing how one character is now not present in series - also not that active conflict.. If anything, we could use more waifu wars.. Some memes and stuff can come up from this.. If you're not into this - you will just pass this, and that's all.. You can just enjoy another content.. All of this - only in my opinion, of course..

What the fuck did you just fucking say about Tsukasa, you little bitch? I'll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and I've been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I'm the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You're fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that's just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little "clever" comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn't, you didn't, and now you're paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it. You're fucking dead, kiddo.

Non-serious answer first:
It happens in harems. When you have too many waifus, they fight with each other to have you to only themselves.
Gator said:

OMG, YOU'RE PICKING FIGHT BRO?
You choose the wrong waifu to start a war with!

Nasa-kun, come here. Please don't cry. We will take care of this guy.
Chitose, that guy above said, "Tsukasa is bad".

Case closed :D

Serious answer:
I believe that overly enthusiastic otakus with no life or fun out of the culture and too little tolerance to other ideas have these fights. One goes too rude, the other cannot just leave the rude person with their own rudity and answers also rudely, the war starts.

PS: I'm actually a bit sad with Gator starting the war with Tsukasa-chan. But everyone may have different opinions. If I cannot stand, I just ignore it.
This is an example of how you DON'T have waifu wars.

Re:Zero's case is pretty interesting. Rem was clearly was a better and more interesting character at the end of season 1 but was forced to make way for Emilia who's basically a plot device for the entire season. I imagine that probably had a lot to do with it.

I mean simple, excluding the Waifu's themselves. People are just bad talkers in a sense. Things like straight up insults would certainly be a cause of starting a Waifu war. People just need to learn and accept other opinions. Worst enough they don't even have evidence or bring up any things up. Hardly having a case. Though it's the internet and people can get away with it.

For example, statements like "REM IS FUGGIN TRASH." Will probably start a war. Though if you said something like. "Well, I personally don't like Rem. Because she's to shy." I don't know, I haven't seen Re: Zero. So I don't know crap on her. People are people and anything can be used to trigger someone. Though the first statement would certainly spark more wars than the second one used. In which someone might respond with a proper refute. Rather than more hate speech.

Also, not sure about the whole all Waifu's are equal thing. People have opinions and preferences. Bringing stuff like that up isn't the wisest choice in the middle of one. Because in actuality not all Waifu's matter. That's like saying All Lives Matter. In fact, not all lives matter. Considering that includes all the murderers, rapists, criminals and bad people still alive.

In a general sense. Sure, something like All Lives Matter is great. Though saying all Waifu's are equal in a Waifu War. Is like being in court with a serial killer. With someone defending him saying All Lives Matter. It's like in that case. No, clearly ALL lives don't. A person like that is trash. Though yeah, bad debating is what turns the war bad. Before anything about the Waifu's are even mentioned.

Insecurity.

As an example, let's take, for example Macross Frontier's 2 girls. (2 keeps it simple)

The show did a very good job balancing who did or did not win the love triangle, and in fact most fans as of the finale of the anime (not the movie) would agree the love triangle is unresolved.

So, with that assumption, one would think as of the conclusion of the show, the two girls stand effectively romantically equal, right?

Well...

Not in the minds of the shippers/waifu worshippers.

See, by seeing someone else support the other character/pairing, what spawns is the ugly essence of insecurity, to which immature individuals are especially vulnerable.

No one likes to lose, no one likes to be wrong. If they think Ranka is best girl, then those who think Sheryl is best girl is automatically a threat to them being "right" in their tastes (even if no such thing exists). And by existing, this other fan/support of Sheryl is (un)consciously labeled an "enemy".

More mature audiences don't really get affected by this, they've been through it. They realize this is inconsequential and that other people being different and liking different things is OK and has 0 impact on you.

I hope I have been helpful.

I shall refer you to Emilia's Re:Zero fandom wikia page (in case you do not trust links, I will just recommend you google for it with the terms "emilia rezero").

Scroll all the way down to the "Trivia" section.

Read the first bullet.

It is my belief that there was never meant to be a war to begin with, as Emilia could be thought of as a (Canon) Mary Sue, described in the most polite terms. However, some viewers are very averse to this trope of character.

Seems like the author's intentions were great, but at the end of the day it doesn't change the fact that S1 Emilia was up against someone who's got actual backstory and some semblance of character development. And I don't think you really need to be all that averse to Mary Sues to prefer the latter.

Ah, this bit I have observed to be kind of all over the place. I have seen some people being willing to literally like a trope and not care if or not there is any backstory whatsoever. Or development, for that matter. I'm not saying either way is wrong, to be clear. This is all non-consequential preference of the individual to me. (Albeit, I can't really ignore lack of characterization when I rate shows since I try to rate based on the story/characterization efforts of the staff/writer rather than the often subjective enjoyability of a show's characters and while low effort characterization can be enjoyable, I often do not reward it.)
