What would you say that condition it called? I'll explain.
A waifu is someone you take as your wife. Except this someone is usually a cartoon character and you form a relationship with this "person". I mean going on dates, buying her stuff. Oh it gets deeper. Attaching feelings to this "person", getting jealous when another character in the show talks to your waifu. Getting angry when someone else on the internet claims your waifu as their waifu, then doing mental gymnastics to think that your waifu exists in a different reality than his waifu, even though they are the same drawing. There is more.
The picture below is an example of a body pillow with the subjects waifu printed on the fabric. It is not uncommon for these pillows to be ordered in pornographic poses printed on the on the length of the pillow. As you can imagine, they do stuff with the pillows.
Something else I noticed. They refer to women are "3d". That stuck me as a bit odd. Why are they 3d? Does that mean they think of the world in terms of bits and dimensions relative to a screen? I have so many questions.
If you do a google search of "waifu" and look at the images, some of the captions are describing "my waifu is going to be such a good mother" and things like that. This person plans on having a family with their waifu.
The waifu thing came from people who are fans of anime, some refer to themselves as "weaboo". Picking a waifu is some times practiced on forums and youtube videos and advise on a waifu's behavior and rules of how to treat that specific character are exchanged. What is that all about? Is it like a rite of passage for a person in this tribal group to pick their waifu? I dont know.
This is a forum on reddit about waifu's and people who all support each other and tell each other what they are doing is natural and is a healthy behavior, falling "in love" with a fictional character. https://www.reddit.com/r/waifuism/
Can someone tell me if this is a delusion or a symptom of a mental illness. I just want some answers. Stuff like this fascinates me. I can't believe you guys get paid to study this stuff. Keep up the good work and thank you for your time.
Seriously, I'm not making fun of these people. If they need help, and this is unhealthy, I want to help them. I feel like it is, but I have no scientific background anything really. I was hoping you could lend your expertise.
Thank you again,
You Lie
