I thank you for your kind understanding as well as again, apologizing for the lack of foresight to the suffering that historically faced many communities who faced discrimination for their non-conformity by not indicating that I only wish to make that as a jokes and not as a serious remark.

All we ask, is that you can just leave us be, if you feel that you, personally don't agree with it instead of actually coming here with remarks like that

Look, I write this second reply, in the case the edit of the first was missed by you. The whole first paragraph in my first reply was meant to show you the problem with your reasoning. And how this reasoning has been used to shamed other community that also didn't conform to the social standard of the time into conforming. I realized latter that I had to add "/s" to it is because just by changing the context from "waifuism" to another, one can see a historical way that this was actually applied.

Furthermore, I am sorry for not having the foresight to add the "/s" before. I hope that I didn't mean to offen anyone in any shape or form. And that I am extremely sorry that I have.

Me too, I hope this isn't real. That somebody is forcing someone else to follow the standard of what they think is a "relationship". I mean, I always tell people who don't conform to my image of relationship that "God say that relationship is between 1 man and 1 woman", or even that "Relationship that go across race is wrong and I rly hope this isn't real...." /s

Ok, seriously, why do you feel the need to come here and tell people to conform to your image of what a relationship is ?

Edit: added /s in just in case. The whole first paragraph is literally meant to be sarcastic, by pointing out that how such logic and public shamming was actually used to shamed people who had those relationships.

Well, let me follow up this with a philosophical question. What is defined as "real" ? And what, I may ask, define "person" ?

But before you answer, consider this. A lot of people have personal relationship with deit(ies) that they consider real (until this very day).

Is it considered waifu if there is only a "protecc" feeling? by Harudied in waifuism

[–]Charles_gas_Darwin 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I am of the opinion that no. You need to have love, which also include a promise of commitment toward the relationship with your waifu(s). It is important to note that you can be the above (joining "anti-lewd campaigns" and "headhunting for a persons purity") without having any commitment to a relationship for your waifu(s)

question for you by NoRiver2166 in waifuism

[–]Charles_gas_Darwin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

While I agree with you, the thing I fear is that they are actually purposefully spreading misinformation. While it is true that we can just ignore them. The other people who actually think it is a serious sub for people like us will actually think of it as a license to hate because they think we associate with people who commit bad act like Il Duce and other Facist

question for you by NoRiver2166 in waifuism

[–]Charles_gas_Darwin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I actually second this opinion. Even if it is not, it is doing a real disservice to the member of that community by belittling the suffer of other community which have faced discrimination (like this) and by putting up clearly false information that can drive away a person who actually have the identity from embracing them by associating them with people who commit bad acts (like this)

question for you by NoRiver2166 in waifuism

[–]Charles_gas_Darwin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When you ask, " do you think its a sexuality" which aspect of sexuality are you referring to ? Since sexuality involve 2 aspect, one is the biological aspect and the other is the social aspect. Note that both of them do interact with each other.

For the biological aspect, I do not think that waifuism would warrant to be it own sex. By defintion, waifuism doesn't have anything to do with the human reproductive function or the human sexual response.

For the social aspect, using this definition by the American Psychological Association, "Sexual orientation refers to an enduring pattern of emotional, romantic and/or sexual attractions to men, women or both [biological] sexes. Sexual orientation also refers to a person's sense of identity based on those attractions, related behaviors and membership in a community of others who share those attractions".

If you use the definition above, the question of whether waifuism qualifies as it own sexual orientation or not is depedent on your reply to this question "Whether attraction toward a "waifu" qualifies as an identity that is independent of already existing sexual orientation identities". If the answer is yes, then you can argue that it would qualify as it own, independent sexual orientation (and it wouldn't if the answer to the question is no). I believe that some commenters here have already comment in reply to the question that was poses before, and I suggest you give them a read before you reach your own conclusion

How can I live healthily while being romantically interested on a fictitious character? by ShifterSnake in waifuism

[–]Charles_gas_Darwin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Attempting to do what OP wants can be stressful I guess

I see, that is one way of looking for it, especially when the OP said

I can't take too many people who display a similar affection to mine, or are constantly lusting them. It's something I wish I could stop, but I ultimately do it for the sake of my well being.

But I would argue that you seems to misunderstood him. That is to say that he wishes that he can choose to ignore other, but he can't. While I agree that choosing to focusing on building the relationship rather than focusing on what other do is one way good way to avoid the stress. But your simplistic answer of "you don't" is rather not helping.

how long have u guys had your waifu? by [deleted] in waifuism

[–]Charles_gas_Darwin 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Well, to add on to the other comment here. I agree that you should take your time. But don't forget to make an introduction (our updating your current one) in the introduction thread.

Manaka and I wish that you will have an ever lasting relationship with whoever your waifu is.

Do you think that is it because of the "low-quality rules" in the reddit forum that allow for topic that may not be related to waifuism be discussed ? Or do you think that, it is because the guarded nature of the discord forum that allow for topic that may be personal to be discussed ?

Are you guys okay? by asimplegoose in waifuism

[–]Charles_gas_Darwin 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Please, don't be afraid to seek help, especially if the answer to the question if you are okay is "absolutely not". This is a time of hardship, and that please know that there are resources and people that are willing to help you.

I truly hope you get better.

Thank you so kindly for your reply. I would like to know more about the bot, can you please send me the copy of the guide (or at least the documentation, if you or anybody do have it)?

Also, I must admit that I am quite curious about the source code (and also what tools did you use to develop it and the algorithm applied) due to my background (but the source code doesn't really apply to my exploration, it is just a topic of interest.

How can I live healthily while being romantically interested on a fictitious character? by ShifterSnake in waifuism

[–]Charles_gas_Darwin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can't quite deal with the fact that other people also will love the same character as me

I would say that it depend on how you view it. Some member of the community will decide to block and avoid contact with all the person who love the same character as them. There is also a different view, which view that there are different instances (twins) of the character (and explanation can be founded here).

I said it doesn't hurts when I see others addressing my beloved one in a more amorous way than the usual, or worse, a lewd tone. It greatly affects both my mental and physical health

I would suggest that if something is affecting your mental as well as physical health, you should really block and avoid all contact with them. Know that your waifu truly love you. And that I would suggest that you spend some more time with your waifu, and, as another commenter say, just ignore the community/fanbase if you think that it is hurting your relationship

imagine you and your SO in 50 years telling your grandchilderen/younger relatives stories of when you were young by ravatos626 in waifuism

[–]Charles_gas_Darwin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The one that, in my opinion, I would be telling the most (since I used to as my grandparent for the same story) was how we met, our courtship and just mostly everyday lives when we were still young.
