Except that it's not a crush on a drawing.

It's the love an idea.

Not taking sides here, just wanted to clarify.

I don't have a waifu, but I do have characters I like and can understand that there are people in this world who may like a specific character so much that they would like to remain faithful to the idea of that character.

Whether those people are wrong or right in their love for an idea is not something I want to judge. After all, people fall in love with ideas all of the time and still manage to remain functional human beings.

Pic related. I LOVE THIS CHARACTER. I LOVE AKIRA HONJOUJI. We're not married though. Because she only represents an idea and is a fictional character the only way we could ever interact is through fiction.

And as long as the person who's admiring the idea still has a firm grasp on reality the whole concept of having a fictional significant other is more of an indulgence than anything.
