Agreed. I don't think anyone takes it seriously at all, though. It's just a laugh.shrekfan246 said:Well, okay, I don't go so far as to consider any character a "waifu" or anything, but yeah.

It seems that my list of Waifus and this user's list of Waifus contain many of the same characters.II2 said:-SNIP-

Oh well, yea. I admit to having developed a certain attraction to Mass Effects Tali'Zorah when I played it, but when I realized how old she actually is, and what her character actually is like... I felt awkward, and like a creep. This experience shall serve as a cautionary tale for the future.Scarim Coral said:Neither, sure there have been some female anime characters that I have an attraction to but not to the point I want them to be my "waifu" making sound like she is my thing/ object.

I'm also a bit disturbed by someone's mentioning of Bioshock's Elizabeth: I mean, she's your (character's) daughter, for god's sake...

Woah woah woah guys, those are pretty spoilerific posts for Bioshock Infinite right there. If I was half way through the game and I saw that I'd be rather annoyed. Can you please spoiler tag them?INF1NIT3 D00M said:snip

Though even then, she's not my actual daughter. She's Booker's daughter.
Sorry. It's safe now.Drummodino said:Woah woah woah guys, those are pretty spoilerific posts for Bioshock Infinite right there. If I was half way through the game and I saw that I'd be rather annoyed. Can you please spoiler tag them?
You are assuming that all people who play games with characters, play as them as though they are that character. For me personally I look at it the same way as I do a book. I am not that character, I am simply seeing the events from their perspective. The fact that I am the one controlling their actions doesn't make any difference. I am essentially the narrator the way I look at it.CloudAtlas said:I tried to write spoiler-free, but the result was dreadful, so (Bioshock Infinite spoiler following)...INF1NIT3 D00M said:Technically, she's not...I'm pretty sure that the whole waifu thing is between you as a real person and the fictional character, it doesn't really have anything to do with any other characters.my daughter, she's my alternate-universe clone's daughter, which makes it okay because... reasons

I just think it's weird to become romantically/sexually attached to an (entirely unromantically portrayed and not sexualized) character who is, in the context of the game, in the context of the character through whose eyes (quite literally so, as it is an FPS) you experience this world, your daughter.
Sorry, but I prefer the strong, silent type:Casual Shinji said:You're my waifu.
Yes you, the one reading this post. =]
I get your point. I'm not saying that all people who do that are perverts who want to... engage in generally not highly esteemed sexual practices (not sure how to describe it better without spoiler), just that I find it weird that such a romantic attachment comes to be in the first place since you experience this story through this specific lens. I don't think I want to dish out moral judgments in a thread about waifus...Legion said:You are assuming that all people who play games with characters, play as them as though they are that character.

Sex don't get no safer than that, son.JoJo said:A fictional character from non-live-action visual media huh... can't say I really find animated characters attractive in that way (not that there's anything wrong with that), however there's one who I do have a strong connection with:
Mr Bubbles is my waifu!
