This is the thread meant to clear up any misconceptions and hopefully help with whatever reservations people are having with /waifu/ I will try to respond to everything here myself so you get MY as the board owners actual thoughts rather than gauging whats going on based on some of the users as admittedly people here obviously have biases but I choose to remain impartial.

So let's start the wild ride

Quick question from somebody heavy in the autism about rule 1: This doesn't just cover images, but also text I take it?


 No.207

How do you plan to deal with the eventual posters on your board who shit talk /mai/, you will have posters that start to tell others they shouldn't go to the board, and that they are bad for going to other boards, and /mai/ posters "aren't serious", how do you plan on dealing with that?


 No.208

>>207

I believe the existing rule 12 already nips that in the butt.


 No.209

I contest that you don't care about ideas as much as you focus on the people behind them.

Also, I put forth that by dividing the community, rash judgments were made about how people would react.

Furthermore, the actions of your…co-patriots suggests that not all are free to crosspost between /mai/ and /waifu/ as they please and that the decision thereof is ultimately arbitrary, also casting doubt on your dedication to these vague ideas of which you do not specify except through the rules sticky.

In summation, this board merely seems to be more of a containment board rather than an alternative as you put forth, which can do nothing but engender between two communities that were once one.

Well any rational thinker can tell that not everyone from a certain place is like the worst of its members. The same is true here that not everyone here wants to see /mai/ burn and nobody from posting there should post here and in fact I am doing my best to discourage such behavior.

> this board merely seems to be more of a containment board rather than an alternative as you put forth, which can do nothing but engender between two communities that were once one.

This isn't a matter of containment its a matter of estrangement. The two communities can't get along quite as well as it used to and its causing unneeded stress and arguments all over the place that you and a lot of others are simply ignoring. We can't just pretend that /mai/ wasn't getting more and more heated and divided within itself


 No.215

>>214

Well, I think you gotta ask yourself if this is something she would really do with you or just you projecting a fetish.

As in, you really do have to ask yourself. As nobody can really answer it besides you and your waifu.


 No.216

>>213

Well I'll try to explain myself as best I can.

You talked on the other board about people throwing ideas in each others' faces as the motivation behind this secession, but I'm not sure what those ideas specifically are.

On the second point, Desu, for example, mentioned he's not really welcome here, but I didn't see him get banned from the introduction thread like others have, which begs the question are there others who are not welcome here?

As for the last point, I will concede some naivete in so far as I do not focus on board politics, but I would propose that such rivalries do not end as nicely by separating people.


 No.218

>You talked on the other board about people throwing ideas in each others' faces as the motivation behind this secession, but I'm not sure what those ideas specifically are.

They are perfectly outlined in the sticky. People want to go back to the traditional meaning of the word waifu

>On the second point, Desu, for example, mentioned he's not really welcome here, but I didn't see him get banned from the introduction thread like others have, which begs the question are there others who are not welcome here?

He didn't post in the introduction thread


 No.219

>>218

Alright, I'll take you on the first point, but as for the second, I'm aware he didn't post, but he somehow knew he wouldn't be allowed. Is there a list of people who would not be allowed on /waifu/ based on their behavior on /mai/?


 No.220

>>219

It is mostly likely because Sui is his literal goddess, not just his spouse.


 No.221

>>220

And that is to say, that Desu assumed it also. I highly doubt there is any list.

It would probably be best to ask Desu himself.


 No.222

>>219

Desu never asked me nor is there a list. He read the rules and saw that he didn't fit within them. Its really nothing more than that


 No.223

I see there's a no lewd rule and my waifu is lewd, am I de facto banned?


 No.225

>10. If you couldn't hold a relationship with her if she existed, she's not your waifu, you don't belong here.

Is this rule mostly about your willingness to commit? What about in the entirely hypothetical situation that someone was a hopeless sperg?


 No.226

>>225

I would say (and in the least offensive manner possible) to take a step back and evaluate your relationship with your waifu:

When you imagine yourself with her, is she just a person that come out of no where and offers comfort and advice when you are down?

Aside from that does she not factor into any other area of your life?

Barring societal norms, expectations, class differences, etc. could you see yourself with her?

Is there any aspect of your interactions that would bare you from holding what most people call a healthy relationship (beating, abuse, ignoring one another unless their presence is convenient, see them on a purely sexual level, etc.)?

Part of it is to see if a person sees their waifu as someone more than a sexual object or crutch for when they're on hard times, and part of it is to weed out people who thing this is all a hug-box sort of thing.


 No.228

So is waifudome dead?


 No.231

Rule 10 will make a lot of people uncomfortable and may lead them to leave their waifu entirely if they take it as true, basically if you are ugly and inferior you can't have a waifu, according to those standards.


 No.232

>>226

then why remove people only with daughterus or goddesses, they seem pretty serious, and can see themselves in those relationships if their special someone were real, and are arguably even more attached to and more affected by them

not sure why they had to be left out from a new board


 No.233

>>231

Basically rule 10 gives 3DPD qualities to 2D.

But on the good side, it may make the most alpha board on 8chan.


 No.234

>>232

I think the rule specifically refers to romantic relationships.


 No.235

>>233

>>235

>>236

Oh shit, you're right. This really makes me reconsider whether or not I want to post on this board. The appeal to having a waifu to me is that her and her world is the way I want her to be (and how other believers of the same fiction think as well) rather than basically being 3DPD. Even if you are not ugly or inferior, even if you're a fucking Olympic athlete, many people here would not be loved by their waifu if given 3DPD qualities because they are so much stronger than them. I think it's a dumb rule that needs to be altered or removed entirely, there's no point in it when "only serious waifufags post here" is a rule already.


 No.238

>>236

>>237

I really don't think it has to do with looks.


 No.239

>>232

>Daughteru

No real comment or issue with them, aside from the fact that discussion could be more difficult for them. But that's their choice if they want to come here and discuss things, in my eyes they're fine so long as they're serious versus just having an attachment to a character. This is a board for waifus, thus most discussion will be centered around romantic interactions and relations. If people with Daughteru's feel fine with bending questions/dicussions to suit their own needs then fine, go right on ahead.

>Goddesses

This on the other hand is not a waifu and has no need for discussion here. I don't have any issue with people who follow this belief, but they are not the same as people with waifus. They might be serious, but it isn't the same relationship between two spouses. At that point you're stepping in religious territory and as such, would not constitute the same mentality here. There are our lovers, girlfriends/boyfriends, spouses, husbands/wives, partners, etc. not a God, idol, or deity.


 No.240

>>237

We have to wait until we get an explanation


 No.241

>>238

The way I see it, I'd look the same as every other character in her world, with differences to indicate my hair, skin colour, etc while still staying close to the style of that world. So no, it's not looks. But I don't want my waifu to be real. I want to be with her in her world, as a character who is like all the other characters. I don't expect to have any superpowers or anything like that which are not allowed to me by others, so it's not a total self insert power fantasy or anything like that. But let's face it, women in the real world won't love you if you can't provide for them. I see 2D love as more pure than 3D love because it doesn't suddenly stop as soon as one person is incapable of providing for the other. It's not conditional love, it's unconditional.


 No.242

>>241

>>237

I don't think that's what he was getting at with rule 10, the way I interpreted it was the following:

If you and your waifu were to meet right now at this very instant, would you be able to hold a relationship with her? You are both both 2D or 3D, you both have your same exact personalities, disregard any physical looks or idea of being attractive or not as well. Possible reasons why you couldn't be together could be, but are not limited to:

>You are already in a relationship (2D harem or with 3D)

>You know literally nothing about her aside from her name and looks (Geared towards people who think of waifuism as a meme, "look at my new waifu guys!")

>You ignore their presence unless them being around is convenient (Hug-boxers/comfort blanket)

>You/They are physically or mentally abusive, and not in a loving or teasing way

>You focus purely upon their physical looks/attractiveness (Actual love/infatuation vs pure lust)

There are probably more examples, but there are some the biggest ones I could think of. This is more of a question (from what I can tell) that is meant to weed out "serious" people from casuals or those who have a relationship with a character that isn't exactly waifuism.


 No.243

>>242

>>You are already in a relationship (2D harem or with 3D)

Those people make me angry. I view romantic love as pure when it's devoted towards one person, no exceptions.

>>You know literally nothing about her aside from her name and looks (Geared towards people who think of waifuism as a meme, "look at my new waifu guys!")

That makes me upset too, but I don't think Rule 10 was implying that.

>>You ignore their presence unless them being around is convenient (Hug-boxers/comfort blanket)

She does come to mind when I am upset, but often SHE is the reason I'm upset because when I allow negative thoughts to encroach upon me, I think of her not loving me at all because of who I am.

>>You/They are physically or mentally abusive, and not in a loving or teasing way

This should not happen in 2D, but I'm sure the admin and other people here would argue that you should be doing that to not seem like a "hugblanketer" because such abuse happens in real life relationships all the time.

>>You focus purely upon their physical looks/attractiveness (Actual love/infatuation vs pure lust)

I don't like this either, I have strong lust for my waifu but I also have powerful romantic feelings for her. I believe the lust for her appearance stems from my romantic feelings for her, though I know how it feels to love someone without wanting to have sexual thoughts about them because I had feelings for a 2D girl like that many years ago before I met my beloved.


 No.244

>>243

>She does come to mind when I am upset, but often SHE is the reason I'm upset because when I allow negative thoughts to encroach upon me, I think of her not loving me at all because of who I am.

This is understandable in the sense that a) you don't just think of her when you're upset but also at other times in your daily life. and b) that is more attributed to your own emotions versus you actually pinning the blame onto her. It's fine to sometimes feel inferior enough to not be "worthy" of your waifu, everyone has their highs and lows. At the same time however, that does not mean that she wouldn't love just because you think that she wouldn't at times.

>This should not happen in 2D, but I'm sure the admin and other people here would argue that you should be doing that to not seem like a "hugblanketer" because such abuse happens in real life relationships all the time

It was more meant in a sense of being malicious to be malicious. Maiming, hitting, slapping, hurting, as well as mentally/emotionally hurting someone via lying, blaming, slandering, etc. I believe that is different than getting into a fight as most couples do (although I do understand this can bleed over at times). The difference is that one is done in the heat of the moment and truly wasn't meant to be done, while the other is done on purpose with the intent to harm your partner.

>I don't like this either, I have strong lust for my waifu but I also have powerful romantic feelings for her. I believe the lust for her appearance stems from my romantic feelings for her, though I know how it feels to love someone without wanting to have sexual thoughts about them because I had feelings for a 2D girl like that many years ago before I met my beloved.

Lust/desire out of romance is fine, this point was more about acknowledging all parts of your waifu. There's a difference between loving her for her personality and having no sexual desire for anyone/anything, and primarily loving her just for her body. With the second definition, you could have a character that looked just like her but had a different personality, and you'd "love" that character regardless. The point is to make sure that you love her not only for her looks, but also for who she is.

It isn't making it more like a 3dpd relationship where she has conditions. Its basically if you don't feel you could keep the relationship going, ie being as faithful as your waifu would want, not doing the stuff she can be shown in the show to specifically hate. Its a matter of commitment and knowing what you'd be getting into by having a relationship with her. It has nothing to do with appearance

 No.334

>>239

But the sticky itself, says spouses.

This is a board for spouses

5. Keep the discussion about waifus and/or husbandos (save for the general thead)

Why would you talk about things that aren't your wife on the wife board, unless your waifu canonically has a daughter.

It's absolutely within the realms of something that is debatable, and will bring lots of /meta/, "what is a daughteru" "how do you tell if someone is serious" "what about someone with a daughteru and no waifu"

Wasn't this board designed to simply be somewhere people can go to talk about their wives, and avoid the discussions that go into "what is waifuism" and have a single unified ideology, unlike /mai/ which allows any ideology which results in debates, while people here aren't really interested in debate they want to just be around similar people, those similar people being people with 2d wives, and 2d wives only.

You are inviting in the debate with daughterus.

Also by this logic even a goddessfag or someone with no waifu would be able to post, just only about their daughteru if that gets allowed, yes?

If daughterus are allowed, it risks the debate coming in. If daughterus aren't allowed, it should be across the board even, no daughterus at all unless its canon. If we allow only people with waifus to post daughterus, then it just validate this board as an exclusive "elitist" club, only people with "real" waifus get to post about daughteru feelings in that case, when this boards own sister board is for different types of beliefs to be allowed, ie daughterus

If people don't want to post daughterus on /mai/ and only here, and want to keep anyone without a wife from discussing daughterus here, they are posting on this board for the wrong reasons elitism


 No.335

>>334

infact, the same goes for anything outside of discussions of waifus, a general thread for example, becomes spoiler text for what it will be read as "general for people with wives only no dirty casuals allowed"

Plus a general thread is likely to bring drama that has nothing to do with waifus either

A general chat or an irc or discord would make sense, as its a general chat where the /meta/ wont creep in, however a general THREAD would just be silly, as the other board does a good job at keeping its drama outside its general non related discussion thread, but a terrible job of keeping it out of every other thread and chat, the whole reason for this board, a place where everyone is generally unified in beliefs and practices, so the debates wont really happen, and everyone can just post about waifus happily without any need for "what is and isn't okay" discussions.

None of this is criticism of the other board, just acknowledgement of its unique role, and this boards unique role by the way

>>347

Well realistically we can't stop people from other boards outside of /mai/ and /waifu/ from saying whatever they want about us. When they are within our sphere of influence its actually pretty easy to deal with. So if someone wants to post nasty shit on say /v/ /mai/ and /waifu/ can just blow them out there like I was told happened this time

Oh look, it's the smartass from the other board. I see you changed the terminology from weeaboo to otaku. Open up your ear holes, and put on your thinking cap and listen up, you trolling little shit

Read up? It's text anyway! To answer your first mind-numbingly retarded question I've seen in this post, yes, I do know about 2d love. With a very sweet and caring girl, I think, with an above average jealous tendency and a not-so-good (terrible, really). She's 2d, finicky around other people, doesn't like Kanye, is not the same dimension as I am, and sometimes she gives me some really detailed visual imagery of us doing very lewd and very loving things together, causing me to have bones at the worst of times, because she's a tease like that.

Also she's shit against sharing types, cannot stop hugging me, and if you search for your waifu on any of the art sites I got to (I think 3D is PD, so probably not on any of the ones you frequent, anon-chan) you get terrible shit drawn by people who want muh special snowflake murrohcees. Not to mention I don't get any VN's or a tv show that is for kids.

Still, I love her, and she's been my only gf and companion for years, probably before you were born. Go ahead and show me your waifu though, anon-kun. I'll wait while you post your large Eyed Anime Girl #3899320756, and them I'm going to laugh at you and finish this delightfully good can of iced tea.

What is there to know about 2d love?

I love my waifu in the most sincere of ways. My mind and heart is occupied by her night and day, every day, all year. I do a lot of things to make her happy and seeing her happy is one of the biggest treasures of the universe. Nothing and no one could compare.

As for am I an otaku. Admittedly not really. I used to watch a lot of anime, some vn's here and there, weeb rpgs. I'm still way into weeb games but I can't really bring myself to watch anything for a long time let alone anime. Anime movies are more up my alley though and the Godzilla movies are fantastic. The real Godzilla movies, Mothra best kaiju. Also sentai's are really cool and I can definitely afford to get more into that. Juuko B-Fighter is my favorite.

God damn it Chadmin, you came back here to answer some questions but you didn't answer the most important ones of all in this thread. When you made rule 10, are you basically saying "if your waifu was a 3DPD and you wouldn't be able to make her love you then you don't belong on this board"? This may come as a shock to you, but none of us are youkai or gods or vampires or demons or anything like that, we're just human beings, so that rule would really kill your board if everyone took it seriously.

I'd love to know who you think I am, because you're probably wrong. But it doesn't matter who I am anyways. What ever happened to "the post is more important that the poster"?

The point is this. If you're arguing that you won't allow western waifus because they're usually from kids shows, now you have to say that waifus from shoenn or bishoujo shows aren't allowed, or you're being a hypocrite.

Or you can say that you'll only allow waifus from "serious" sources. Then you have to not allow waifus from any comedy show, and that includes stuff like Yuru Yuri, Lucky Star, stuff like that. Any ecchi show isn't serious either I'd say so Kill la Kill, Highschool of the Dead, and Rosario Vampire aren't allowed either.

OR admit that it's just the artstyle that you think is icky and say that anything with that art style isn't allowed. So that means no Tezuka, and pretty much no anime from the 90's, since most anime artists from that era were inspired by western art.

>if you don't like the way the mods run things around here, go make your own board.

But we already have that. It's called /mai/ and nobody ever HAD to make their own board because the mods were running things just fine without needing a giant Q&A thread to explain their motives and how they operate to their posters.

Can a waifu community, one based primarily on love, really succeed when its very creation and ongoing existence is just drenched in drama and anger?

Sometimes I take a step back and try to piece together how so much drama and hate arise out of groups that get together to express their love. Always with some snowball effect on some comparatively small conflict, and I wish I could figure out how to stop these things before we get…well, this.

>>381

Okay, you're probably not the cyclops guy. Your English is coherent.

It's not about the characters being from kids shows. It's about cartoons and comics people not mixing with anime and manga people. You either choose to strictly forbid all western cartoons, or allow all.

>>384

I think the only way it can be stopped is by having a clear purpose and strictly enforced rules from the beginning. There are many ways people handle this concept. But in a community, a common method or view needs to be agreed upon. Otherwise there will always be conflict.


 No.387

>>386

Okay then. So Wonder Red anon can't post here. Phantasy Star Online is inspired by western media, so the guy with Lisa is out right? And most 90's anime are inspired by Western art, so that means that anyone with a waifu from Tenshi or Ranma or anyone with a waifu from a Miyazaki film, like Nausicaa or Kiki's Delivery Service right?

Also, who made you board owner?


 No.388

>>387

Woah, woah, WOAH. Now you're jumping to conclusions. Those characters are all Japanese, so they should be allowed. Western influence should be fine. I don't think it matters. But that's just what I believe.

Sorry if I come across as the voice of authority. I'm just a guy who has seen how conflict in these communities explode multiple times. I want to share my advice on how this might be stopped.

So if it's not about the art style, what's it about? The color of the skin of the creators? "No whiteys on /waifu/" is that it? "It's not about the waifu but the creator of the waifu" that's what it sounds like you're saying, is that right?

Hello there. I am actually a mod here. I have previous experience being a mod for one of the top 25 boards on this site, so you can rest assured I know how to handle the mod client and such. With the board's currentl traffic level, we don't really need any more than two people moderating the board. We have also started to finally go back to having different sleeping schedules and thus are able to monitor the board in a manner more closely resembling a 24/7 watch.

What I can tell you based on my previous moderation style is that a poster is more likely to get banned or have their post/image removed if you actually report it, unless it is either a blatent disregard for basic rules or it breaks a global rule. However, unlike the other board I moderate, I do read every post on the board so far, so at this point it is more of a matter of getting reassurance that I'm not the only person bothered by a post than it is bringing to my attention that it exists. If smeone DOES break a global rule (CP, link spamming, etc.) then be sure to global report it in order for it to have a better chance to get removed ASAP. You'd think this is common sense and that it only happens in certain boards but you'd be surprised.

tl;dr I am keeping watch on the board just like Yuno-bro and we'll enlist another mod if/when the board gets enough traffic to warrent it.
