I am happy that we will soon be allowed to marry cartoon/game characters. I mean, marriage is a social construct that was designed to discriminate. We have to stop all those hurt feelings and a man marrying a fictional girl is as logical as a man marrying another man. The girl might be real in a parallel universe, and if there are infinite realities there will be a Miku that wants to marry you. How can you deny the wish of to real people just because they live in different universes?
I'll go to the US Supreme Court and ask them how they can discriminate against me. They are 2Dphobic. I say that as a trans-2D man.
Marrying 2D girls will also reduce the number of white children, a top priority.

You forgot the part where it gives today's women a big wake up call, once they see that their beta orbiters & husband material "good guys" have replaced them w/ someone much more stable & efficient.

Even if they grow brains & start lowering their standards, it will be too late - as we will have no interest in them.

I could buy everything with my waifu in it and it still wouldn't come out to $500 unless I decided I should buy identical copies of everything.

I guess people do talk about the whole three-copies, one for storing, one for admiring, and one for using.

I feel like this nyanners incident where a girl uses this otaku hobby to gain more popularity but then completely drops it when she finally earns a megaphone is becoming more common.
