Having a waifu is close to what school of philosophy? I suspect waifunism might be close to edonism because it's a escape from reality.
Discuss.
Modal Realism.

Solipsism. It's essentially projecting yourself onto an inanimate picture and then claiming to fall in love with it.
Can someone explain waifu? Like is it jus having a crush on an anime character?
>>604203
What is edonism?
>>604366
Haha get out
Platonic idealism
The cult of the Virgin Mary
>>604359
Pretty much. As someone pointed out, modal realism is as far as I know the only philosophical position that have peer-reviewed papers about a waifu and gives you a theoretical framework on how to communicate with her.
>>604359
>>604209
modal realism makes waifus real, but it isn't a school of thought dedicated to waifuism.
as to answer the OP, it would probably be stirnernian metaphysics

Is waifuposting serious? Are there actually people who genuinely fall in love with cartoons illustrated by greasy nerds? How fucking empty do you have inside to be constantly posting about a fictional character on a Nepalese wine tasting board? Lmfao

Do people fall in love with things that are not opposite sex? There are recorded instances of people falling in love with same gender. People falling in love with great age difference. People falling in love with animals, People falling in love with inanimate objects. People falling in love with ideals.
What's so different about people falling in love with their perfect partner that may never truly materialize?

Baka, there's no better option for someone who is socially excluded and has no hope of ever getting a girl.

Analytical philosophy, specifically modal realism. http://www.philpapers.org/archive/sinPG

A philosophical paper pertinent to your question.
Platonism, waifus are of course perfect representations of women.

How does a perfect waifu look like then?

Iroha from oregairu seems pretty close.

It wouldn't be anyone from shitty harems that's for sure.

I have never enjoyed anime, nor do I ever intend on having a waifu, but I appreciate the effort and reasoning behind that essay and I felt somehow refreshed having read it.

And by that you mean trap waifus no doubt
>>604357
are you sure that what solipsism is?
>>606227
I'm not sold on the chicks with dicks idea personally
>>604203
Maoism!
Most of those people who have waifus are honestly the people who would be least likely to attract the love of their waifus. You can't make someone love you. The best you can do is be someone worth loving.

Ha.

I haven't had a single sexual or romantic thought about a real women since I was 13. I'm 20 now, and at this point I fear there is no chance of recovery.
>>606469

I used to think I was a no-hoper. It's not impossible.
Waifuism is like those currents of gnosticism that attributed all kind of evil characteristics to the material world and proclaimed that only the spiritual world was good. Likewise, people who have waifus say that 3D is "pig disgusting", and only 2D can offer you pure love.
Basically, waifufags are the true heirs of the Cathars.
>>607117
uh, NO. gnosticism is about the true nature underlying our reality (as wrong as they are), while waifuism is pure ideology.
>>604203
The idea of creating a surrogate experience as a template for the authentic experience. At the foundation, the flaw speaks to the practioners mental concept that because of x I need experience or a simulation to obtain y, defaulting y mentally and setting up failure.
tl;Dr no confidence, absence of inspired faith
>>604538
They fall in love with the ideal. They have lost the taste of sommelier because they want to feel an experience so bad they create a synthesis and seek not the genuine. This belief in delusion always goes punished.

But they're so cute! And a girl with a cunt could never really be a close to you as a girl with a little penis.

I mean, she's cute because she's mexican but I would much rather have my 2D waify any day. Garunteed that 3DPD has had at least 14 dicks inside her.

well yozora certainly is better , but if you're going to choose that fucking show, you might as well go for the god tier choice: kobato
