Why do people have negative bias towards anime waifus?

Seriously why does this happen? Personally, I think since gay and lesbian both have been accepted by the society, why are people who have waifus still being treated negatively until now when they tell others that they are only able to fall in love with anime girls? Some of you might say: "Oh, but gays and lesbians are real, your waifus are not real! That's why." Oh well, my waifus actually is lattice and data, I know. But what about your real girlfriends/wives? Are they protein and calcium? I guess they are. Don't get me wrong, I respect IRL girls. What I mean is that people really need to eliminate their bias towards anime waifus. Bias is ignorant, LOVE is the most important thing. And I believe society should treat people equally and peacefully, as long as they don't harm others. No matter people have either a IRL wife or anime waifu, they should share the same attitude from others.
I hope one day, people can say this clearly to the society: I'm not heterosexual, homosexual, or bisexual, I'm anime-sexual! I'm proud of my waifu and myself.
P.S. I don't mean to offend anyone, so please reply with respect. TIA.

Because it will hurt the economy and possibly lead to a economic depression. Society is run off women's spending, over 70% of all consumer spending is from women. They don't get this all from their own wallets, they also get money from their man's wallet. If men and women don't date and get married the amount of productivity and spending would drastically decrease because men would just work less. Our economy is designed to increase the amount of sending and minimize the amount of savers. More savers means less economic growth and circulation which will lead to a economic depression. Since men date and marry women the balance of spending is keep in check. If you remove dating and relationships it would cause huge problems for society even within replacement rate.

The baby boomer generation are going to create a huge cost to the welfare system once they start using welfare in mass. If everyone has waifu's it means less productivity, which means less taxes, less economic growth from lack of spending which will increase the national debt of countries even higher. Welfare will then collapse and we will have to replace labor shortage with immigrant or robots and automation to maintain the demand.

'Cause I don't care where I belong no more
What we share or not I will ignore
And I won't waste my time fitting in
'Cause I don't think contrast is a sin


Shitpost thread, but oh well.

I guess the conclusion people will generally reach is that, because it isn't real, yet the character is being viewed with such a strong sense of affection, that it's essentially self-induced misery because of how it'll never be obtained. Either that, or it's to compensate for simply not being able to find a real girl or whatever and therefore viewed as pathetic. The latter probably a lot more than the former, admittedly.

Either way the reactions to it are somewhat silly to me, because they can be either hugely overblown or just implanting and projecting these aspects of my person that I can't uphold in many cases and I find that kind of frustrating. I'm not exactly depressed about her not being real nor am I under the illusion that she is real. I'm fine with it. And the reason I don't have a girlfriend is pretty much entirely my own decision and I haven't even entertained the idea of actively looking for one since I was 15 or so. I could clean up my appearance a bit - keep better shaved, have better hair maintenance, so on and so forth, go try to get out and about to local events or places to try to meet somebody if I wanted to - I just, well, don't want to. I don't worry much about talking to new people or have difficulties doing so in particular. I just like my life of waking up, going to work, coming home and dweebing out on the internet. Maybe when I get older I'll start taking the idea more seriously, but not now.

Outside of that it just isn't my problem, though, honestly. I do kind of find it frustrating sometimes when people kind of start ascribing these character traits to people like me who do feel this way towards a specific character, but that's when I can't uphold it. I'm not some incel compensating for a lack of success in real life dating or something, specifically, but also the idea that it stems from some kind of depression or mental illness. Finding it weird, though? So be it, it changes nothing and I'll lose no sleep over it. That's not discrimination to be seen as different and strange, I don't even see it as very unfair in of itself unlike some of the projection of character that can run alongside it, and I have no reason to protest for waifu rights or any dumb shit like that. It feels pretty asinine to compare it to homosexuality and the like because of as much. Then again, this thread is retarded and seems to revel in it so meh. Just wasting my life responding in earnest and probably wouldn't be doing so if it were a sensible hour in the night.

That's the beauty of AD, it's pretty much impossible to tell who's being a dumbass on purpose and is being a dumbass in sincerity unless you've seen them around enough. It's either part of the charm or what makes this board so insanity inducing. Probably both.

I honestly think being unironically involved in waifu culture is both absurd and self-destructive. It's just not healthy to be in a romantic relationship with something fictional and non-living which, bear in mind, is different from simply having an attraction towards.

Saying that you love a waifu is the same as sayign that you're in love with robot / A.I / furniture / water / whatever else.
It's something that has no feelings on its own, that can not answer expectations you should have if you want to form a normal relationship.
Besides, it can be very toxic for the rest of anime community.
I'm watching anime since 2012. I also play games, sometimes.

Don't bother me if you want to 'become friends' or things like that.
It's tiresome. I know you just want to collect some meaningless numbers.

You might friends on a like minded delusional subreddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/waifuism/

If you ask me its because the whole thing is just sad. I mean having favourite female characters in anime is fine but actually seeing them as your "girlfriends" is silly af, they don't exist and you are basically imagining the whole thing.

My advice, get out and get yourself a proper girl.

Because many people tend to be very toxic when it comes to their waifus so many anime fans just lable the entire concept as annoying bs and people who have nothing to do with anime probably just think it's wiered and don't think loving a fictional character is even possible.
I personally also cant fathom how people can do that but do whatever you want I mean it doesn't affect me.

Waifu war never stops buddy. We got Rem and Emilia last year, and now this. WE PROBABLY GET ANOTHER WAIFU WAR NEXT YEAR WITH DIFFERENT CHARACTERS.

Jokes aside, I think it's because some people defend their waifu way too much. Yeah, it's fine liking an anime characters, but say you want to marry it or something more than that just sad. Let's step back to reality for a while.

You've never been in a biology class, have you?

Regarding the topic at hand, anyone who comes up to me and demands to be respected based on their sexuality, gender or preference will only get scorn and disgust from me. Respect is meant to be earned not demanded, act respectfully towards others and then others will do the same.

Acknowledge when someone does not share your enthusiasm towards having a waifu, and maybe they'll leave you alone as they should. Its the extreme defensiveness that brings on the negative bias.

There's is something called acceptance and tolerance.
Besides, you're supposed to act with human decency to everyone, especially if it's someone who you may not really know, regardless on what they like, what's their color skin is, what's their sexual orientation, what's their job, age or what gender they identify with.
If you know someone and dislike them because of how they act then you should still keep some kind of minimum of how you should act towards them.

I was taught that when you respect something or someone, you think and treat them with a special care. Being disrespectful doesn't mean that you are mean to other people just because you don't think highly of them. There's still a set minimum you can't cross. Disrespect if below that and depends on your contry and things you say / do, you may end with a fine. Depends on situation you may be asked to leave place you're in, be prohibited from certain actions and etc because you're spreading toxicity.

In case of waifu lovers.
Unless they do something to impress you, you're not gonna respect them, neither would many of us but we still gonna tolerate their view, no matter how weird or sad it is, simply because it's something we cant't change.
As for people who share their view or don't mind it, acceptance would be the right word.

I understand what you mean but you're using wrong words in my opinion.

As for people who share their view or don't mind it, acceptance would be the right word.


I know what I said and I understand what you're trying to say. I have my views on people, they have been developed by my experience and observation and I keep them strictly to myself. If I see someone doing something I don't approve of, I don't say anything unless its illegal because I realize my disapproval is my business not theirs. Thats acceptance and tolerance.

Now, human decency is only warranted if its mutual. I don't have to treat someone with decency if they are abusing me, no matter their whatever. I accept your views and stay silent, please accept mine and move on, that's all I ask. Denying anyone that and forcing your views on a particular matter on others and me irritates me and probably does everyone.

I have this mindset that if you respect everyone, you treat everyone equally, no one is special, not even your own self. Treating everyone including yourself to the same standards sounds like a pain in the ass, but its my pain in the ass.

In case of waifu lovers,
They only have to ignore me for me to accept their preference, once they try to force their preference onto me, that's when I lose my patience. If I can't change your views then you won't be able to change mine, discussion over. That said, I love to debate and win, but its way easier to ignore trivial topics like this.

My question is why such thread exists? Don't get me wrong.


What I mean is creating this thread doesn't accomplish anything.

Its in the person itself whether they'll treat someone positively or vice versa.


I myself don't really care at all if you have an anime wife, husband or waifu or whatever it is called.


Might as well, you apply the things you do to your anime wife (if its a good thing) to a real girl. Like I said I don't care with such things but I think that is the most advisable thing to do.

As long as someone doesn't do anything wrong then thats fine.


However, creating threads like this won't make any changes at all and I doubt it will persuade other people to change their views towards the issue.


As long as someone isn't doing anything wrong then let it be like that. You or we cannot please everyone.

[Insert "wtf_am_i_reading.jpg" here.] I admit, "Gays are real, so why can't waifus be real, too?" is a new one to me.

Yeah, okay, we're all probably being trolled here. But on more than one occasion, I have seen people discuss waifus as if it was a serious subject, and it kind of boggles my mind.

It's a bloody joke!

First off, the whole waifu thing has probably overstayed its welcome. Can you imagine if people today still went around posting "The cake is a lie!" everywhere? But the fact that some people seem to genuinely not realize it's only a joke just makes it worse. I usually object pretty strongly to "autistic" being used to describe stuff on the internet, but just maybe, sometimes the shoe fits. Seizing onto a mildly-amusing joke and obsessively running it into the ground is extremely annoying, and may account for much of this "negative bias." But taking that joke seriously and genuinely believing it's real borders on troubling. It kind of reminds me of those kids who believed the Slenderman meme was actually a real thing. While, to my knowledge, no one has murdered someone else over a waifu (yet), it still might be just a bit unhealthy.
