You don't seem to realise that within any given waifu thread, only a small proportion of people posting will be taking it as seriously as they claim to. Others will be doing something they briefly find cool since it is "different" (a phase), something they think others find cool (trying to fit in), bitter people who want a reason to feel 3D girls are unworthy, and severely depressed people who are grasping onto something they see as a last resort out of their despair.

Not criticising those people -- it's entirely understandable, and if it makes them happy in some way then it's a good thing, but if you think everyone is as hardcore with the "waifu" thing as they'd lead you to believe, you're probably mistaken.
