This thread was an embarrassment and a real waste of your time.

And some of us can respect both(animated and real) people though. Actually a lot of dating sims did help me to interact with real life people in a better way. Like how we need to listen first, then select the best choice to answer..

Do you have a real-life (can't believe I have to use this term to qualify my question) girlfriend or wife or ever have one in the past?

Baikal's main problem is that they would make threads asking a question - "Why isn't X popular?" - get answers on the question, then argue that everyone was wrong because Baikal personally liked that thing so that couldn't be why.

It was pretty obnoxious and happened a lot.


Baikal was just trying to share her passion. On a good day where everybody's mood isn't slightly sour, there was probably no real reason for dislike.
Probably came off a bit too forceful of her opinions though. Kinda felt that when I read her posts.
Oh well, we're all just different snowflakes =]
*cringe* can't believe I said that.

Good lord, I know your heart is in the right place, but I would not recommend HolyBakai be a role model for anyone, and while I appreciate the effort and time taken to write that post, in hindsight it might be doing your cause for 'waifu' culture a lot more harm than good.

Thankfully I have avatars turned off.

I always enjoyed reading Holy's posts on transhumanism. She had a very interesting ideal in her head about what technology could do for us in terms of identity and bringing happiness. I hope she has a good life, because she seemed to be a good-hearted person all around.

I wish I had more time to indulge into VNs myself. I love the medium, and I have such a great backlog of classics to work through for it, but they take rather long to complete.

I respect OP and his passionate post. If only we all cared so much about something.
I agree with this. I also appreciate the OP had the guts to post what he posted and I bet half or more of NeoGAF users don't have the same confidence on themselves to reveal stuff about them on such a huge site (and keep posting in the thread, reading a lot of mean spirited replies). I also appreciate HolyBaikal as an user and I hope she comes back to NeoGAF someday, hopefully with less thread derailing.

That said, I still hate this waifu stuff and how great threads are often derailed when someone starts to talk about "their" waifus, so since there are no rules against waifu talk on NeoGAF, I hope you don't become one of those people who love to shit up on threads with waifu talk, OP. I also think those hentai VNs are pretty disgusting, you should give great VNs (like Zero Escape and Ace Attorney) a try instead. Oh and one more thing, OP: Don't go play Xenoblade expecting dating sim/waifu stuff. There is some pandering/fanservice here and there, but the game isn't like most modern JRPGs, thankfully. Have fun with the best home console game of the past generation!

This thread is the butt of a lot of laughs on twitter,so I had to check it out.

Very disturbing to say the least.


And while I had no direct problem with HolyBaikal, having seen threads and posts in threads by that user it is easy to see why they where banned.

And they made him a Lord of Cinder. Not for virtue, but for might. Such is a lord, I suppose. But here I ask. Do we have a sodding chance?
I just read it all...

When I get permanently banned, I hope I have person that cares about me as much as OP :(

In essence...

She was banned in the very start of my lurking period. So I had to look her up to understand what the fuss was about.

Also, I wish I was clever enough to think of posting that gif myself. I saw that in another GAF thread.

Night ya'll. Interesting thread fun responses, and civil too.

I'm already on the case. ;)






Whatever floats your boat I say!

I had a crush on an animated Character once when i was a kid. "Nadia: The secret of the blue water". So i can relate to some extend I guess?
While I think there is nothing inherently wrong with waifu culture the problem I see is the representation of girls/women in japanese animated media. But I barely watch anime so I don't want to judge on it as a whole.
Interestingly enough, I do remember a thread by the member mentioned in the OP about feminism and representation of women in anime.

Besides, after reading a study on shipping culture and doing some research on my own this whole waifu thing is pretty mellow when it comes to the "weirdness-scale". ;)

Full disclosure: My Waifu is Morrigan Aensland and has been since I first played Marvel VS Capcom 2 arcade when I was a kid. Yuyuko Saigyouji too.

And holy cow, this thread! I couldn't breathe.

This one's for you both Arcadius and HolyBaikal where ever you may be!

 
Are people really so ridden by their own emotions that they feel guilty for not trying to understand people? I mean shit, everybody does this all the time anyway, with impunity I might add.

WTF!? I was wondering why this thread got so damn long...so i start reading and i start hearing about that guy and you make it sound like he died or whatever with all that dramatic lead in and then its just about how he got banned or something? And then Persona 3...what??

Carry on then. Keep going into threads and directly replying to a humble OP saying their thread is an embarrassment and a waste of time.

Having read through every post in this thread so far, it's hardly a standout statement aside from maybe its bluntness. I'm sure many can agree that this is a weird thread with weird sentiments with a weird amount of text put into it.

Why does it matter to you what he does, or that he happens to be a junior member?

I don't. A bit of decorum is nice though. Look at the statement they quote from the OP though:

For all the comments out there with legitimate concerns, thank you for taking the time to voice them to me, I will not take them lightly.

In the end, I'm glad I went through with this thread, even if it was a lot to write down and a lot for you all to read. I still feel nervous or anxious even though it's all posted and in the open, but I guess that's just natural. Thanks again to everyone who read my post, thanks to everyone who talked with me, I feel really blessed today

That's quite nicely put and a gentle tip of the hat to all people in this thread, which has been quite passive-aggressive. The OP acknowledges this and the above is...again fairly humble. To have that requoted and thrown back at them with

isn't all that pleasant. It's not a million miles away from thread******** either which is bannable. Couple this with not being on the forum for that long - nice way to start.

I'll just tell what they told me in the army when I would stick my nose where it wasn't needed, stay in your lane.

Also what the hell is thread******?

Wow, OP.

I don't remember the last time I was so into something I'm reading.

This really touched my heart.

I hope the waifus will treat you well~

This is totally wrong. We are the one who respect, honor, and recognize women the most.

Women are not commodities to be fought over. We help them to get the care, love, and attention they deserve. This is not off putting or weird.

Animated women or not, some of them are the most amazing, sweet, caring, loving, and adorable people in the world. They made our life that much more meaningful and completed. Without them we have no reason to live in this cold and selfish planet. So what's wrong that we do a little to glorify our women who saved us?

Just saying if we are all a bit more respectful or thoughtful or understanding our world would be a much better place. Waifu or not they are our guide and inspiration so we appreciate them, that's all.

Wow! After reading all of that I don't know what to say really. Your post really touched me.

I'm happy for you op, to find someone that can change you in such a drastic way is fascinating and must have been very special to you, I respect you for opening and expressing to us all your feelings even if they may be silly or crazy for a lot of people
I definitely thought this was a drunk thread
, because it requires a lot of courage to do this. I would never be able to do it, I'm too shy about my own feelings.

I want to say that not everyone with a female anime character in their avatars consider these their waifu.

Oh and Vylash is definitely not a nice guy
:p

That was a lot of text! I've mostly skimmed through Persona LTTP but I've read the most of it.

It's OK, Arcadius. Admitting one's mistakes takes some courage. It's always a good thing to do. Even if the topic may seem silly or weird to most of the other people. I'll be just another person that accepts your apology, even if whatever you ever said didn't directly affect me.

Holy was an interesting person but also seemed pretty fragile. I didn't know that she was banned, unfortunatly it's hard to follow all and everything that NeoGAF creates on the daily basis. I hope that she's well and getting banned from NeoGaf doesn't affect her. I can't say I've read her threads and posts but what I've read was interesting in many ways. Thanks, Holy!

It's interesting that you have embrassed the whole waifu, VN and anime culture that you seemed to dislike. Just do not too deep down the rabbit's hole. As much I think myself as an accepting and open minded person, there's a fine line between obsessive and a fan.

You should try 999, it's an amazing VN. And check out Kawata Shoujo, if you haven't already. Just another example of a "hentai" VN that has a number of great heartfelt stories while keeping hentai part as a very secondary thing (and you can turn the scenes off).

Phone reception is more important to me than human rights
At first I thought HolyBaikal had died or something.

I read the whole thing....and had to stop here at this post. Will have to read other responses later.

Dont know how anyone will take this but I am literally crying right now.....from laughter.....tears running down my face, face contorted, etc. Reading the whole thing makes the responses even funnier. This has to be in the running as best thread of 2015....has to.

I have seen longer posts....maybe because I have a wide screen monitor long posts done seem as bad.

I will give it to ya....you got guts OP. In all seriousness, Holy needs to see your post. Just for its sincerity alone.
