The announcer’s expression seems to say it all:
announcer's inner thoughts: good god what is wrong with this freak.........and is it contagious
...or "oh god...is us women so lack of appeal that men wants to marry fictional characters instead!?"
...or "that's some serious competitions here and it may make us (real women) harder to get hold of mens' money".
i would never marry a game character, simply because i wont divorce internet for it (polygamy is illegal in my country)
I saw this on TV! :D At one point, there's Bakemonogatari poster visible in the background! Yay!
The funny part is to CNN and the general media this guy is a psycho, to me and gamers a-like this guy just has a good sense of humour lol.
@Darkrockslizer:
I see what you did there...
I don't usually like to see bad things happen to nice people, but i can't help but have the desire to see his DS break in some freak accident. I'd like to see what his reaction is like, and how fast he sprints to the nearest electronics store.
Lol screw that. CNN sucks boobies. This guy ROCKS and isn't afraid to let everyone know. props to him :)
...What's wrong with sucking boobies? I like sucking boobies. =_=
seriously... what a fag. lol
if you guys have been folloing this site it isn't hard to fathom how a japanese man might prefer digital girls over real ones. between thier mercenary attitudes towards a mans income and the general disregard by the women for marriage it really is actually surprising this isn't more common.
Ronery! I am so Ronery! I have no body, to carr my own~
hehehe, she should've brought up the ludicrous demands japanese women have on men too.. you know, for added perspective.
what i thought when i saw her face
"Oh load! Is there a male version of Love Plus?"
I would soo buy the male version.
I would buy the hell out of a Love Plus like game with male characters.
They should make it linkable with the girl version and enable threesomes.
Oh, shit, but what if they decide they like each other more?
>Shalala
It's Konami we are talking about here (who did release a few "Tokimeki Memorial ~ Girls's Side games targeted at females)...so with (obvious) demand and money to be made, I for sure would not doubt the possibility of Love Plus version for girls (but then again, guys are not the only ones who are playing the existing Love Plus (GF)...there ARE girls playing it too lol)
There will be no appeal for a male version of Love Plus. You can't take a video game man's salary.
@thanto_
True, but at least you don't have to worry about having that guy cheating on you for a virtual girlfriend ;)
Not true. Since women desire men who are desired by other women, a "playboy" persona is bound to be programed in XD
@thanto_
You are mistaken...they would continue to try to leech money of 'real' men, while they can still cheat on them...may it be real men, or fictional male characters XD
It's most likely
"Is there a version for us females?"
Should be something like "Money Plus"
Lol wow Marine-RX179, you are bitter and surely a virgin. Lose some weight. Women aren't really this bad.
With an attitude like that you'll never get laid.
Quite the opposite women seem attracted to those type of guys lol.
^ All the more reason not to bother with them
Get an actual ID before shitting out of your mouth anon at 14:19.
You obviously haven't seen the previous article of wife became furious and have insecurity issue toward his husband 'cheating on her' by 'having an affair' with his nene and confusticated his NDS. The damn wife gone as far as getting the relatives involved in dealing with the 'affair situation'. She clearly just wanted an excuse to have great control over her husband (and reduce his 'pocket money' even further).
Or just.
"good god! It has begun"
Or just lower the price of being with them so that it becomes worth it again.
She's japanese so it's: "Kimochi warui. Otaku..."
I lol'd so hard at her expression.
psh I married hitch hiker bob in pokemon blue
Yeah her expression is priceless there XD;
They look so lovey together.
lolwut?
Honestly, if someone wants to do this, what really is the problem? Considering all the other "Problems" associated with video games I'd say this is rather tame. Considering Pokemon is the devil according to some priests, all video games cause violence, and video games are responsible for any and all crimes.
This is rather tame.
Yeah, but this kind of stuff happening showcases a part of why Japan is in a population crisis.
not really, the CAUSE of most of japans population crisis comes from social issues, and it shows itself in various ways an EFFECT is people turning 2 fantasy characters for relationships. Games/manga are not to blame for japans child deficit.
Very true. Anime and so on are very much fringe pursuits even in Japan, and it is ridiculous to suggest they could have such a large effect on society.
must learn japanses!
Right, that's why it is a "part."
Like every news,this sound as one of those very outragous or strange things to them where they had to report it on the news.And then blame most of them for this.
Always see the bigger picture of things. How could the small in society have the larger effect on society which is bigger. It is total nonsense.
To Fonzer: And when they see one of us, they might shove such an event in our face (or have the uncalled-for first impression of it) simply 'by association'. Can the term even be borderlining racism if used in such a context?
It seems someone with a PHD is Linking this to Game Addiction same as comparing this to Drug Addiction Its become a soical problem in other countrys.
Kid wanted to marry his Vurtual Wife on a Nintendo DS which I can understand the guy was just doing this for attention which drawn in many people to be consern about him.
You know, you shouldn't worry too much about other people not wanting children. If you like children so much then you can have as many as you want. It's not really your business or mine.
It has been true in history that society blames the minority for its problems just like how Hitler and the Nazis blamed the Jews and how the romans blamed the christians before constantine.
Remember, No Russian.
You mean, No Otaku?
Holy shit, a simulation of slaughtering moe-cosplayers and waifu-hugging otaku WOULD BE AWESOME. Equality Now would friggin' shut up at least.
