Whatever makes you happy and doesn't hurt anyone else. There are many evil and horrible people in this world, marrying a virtual partner doesn't make you one of them
Why being "married" to a virtual person wouldn't make you become a horrible person ? Plus, I'm not saying this to be rude, but I've always found this kind of cliché phrase bizarre and dangerous. You can see that this kind of virtual character makes them obsessed but for you "as long as they are happy and don't hurt anyone", there is nothing wrong? If one day your child, brother, sister or whatever finds themselves in a similar situation, telling you that they are in love with a fictional manga character, a Kpop star or even a Twitch streamer to such an extent that you see them becoming insanely obsessed and spending all their free time and money staying disconnected in their bubble, being glued in front of their posters and confessing their engagement plans to you. You think it's a joke and it will go away until your loved one grows up and tells you that they still sincerely intend to marry the character they love. What would you do ? Would you leave them in their situation because they "feel happy and aren't hurting anyone"? Plus, I feel more like the person hurting themselves is the person being in that situation. This kind of situation that happens in the Nippon country clearly shows a problem of loneliness. Indeed, the guy who is "married" to the character Miku Hatsune had declared on another channel that in his work he was harassed by his *female* colleagues which caused him health problems and to stop his work. He stayed at home and during this time he started to discover the character of Miku Hatsune and to listen to her songs as lullabies. He says it helped him feel better and he was finally able to return to work, but I feel like it created another problem for him, an obsession with a virtual character. I personally think he has a problem with women and that Miku Hatsune is a façade, a way for him to escape reality, to have the "perfect" woman who will say yes to everything and not hurt him like the women who have hurt him in the past. However, being absorbed in a virtual world is only illusory because not only does the "love" he gives remain one-sided and in the end he remains alone.
It’s really interesting. I saw a video where people in Japan were having a hard time saying I love you to their parents. Like the commentator was going to the park, asking people if they say I love you to each other or to their parents and they were so shy and embarrassed. But to get married to a fictional character and have everybody support you is acceptable? Not saying that everybody accepts this. We are only seeing a little glimpse of a small group of people but it’s just interesting. I wonder how that will change in generations to come. As long as they are happy and it doesn’t hurt anyone else I suppose.
I can relate to this man more ever since I started a certain gacha game back in the summer of 2022 and met its first playable character, it felt to me like it was a fated meeting. Since then I love not just her, but likely 11-14 more characters and I truly want to marry them all! So yeah, I am probably now a fictosexual myself.
I am one of them too,Yes I am a fictosexual too. Despite I live in Canada and can so much relate in many ways!. My wife is Escha Malier from Atelier Escha & Logy and Atelier Shallie!. Escha is 21 years old in Atelier Shallie: Alchemists of the dusk sea. I love Escha so much ,because of her personality and character. Escha is a Enfp personality type and her blood type is 0. She is very loyal , very optimistic, never gives up, very supportive and caring. Also very playful too. I see Escha as a wonderful wife!. I even created a date of birth for Escha based off the two games, that Escha was born in 1993. Making her about 29 or 30 years old now. and Yes its no surprise I have all the dakimakuras of Escha too lol.
@@raphaeltanguay2955and tsohartales, im not fictosexual but I do selfship/yumeship myself with mr game and watch lmao 😭 (i know its super funny) id be down having y'alls discords too. Yea that character funny enough has been helping me through dark times and my depression (Edit: wait maybe i am fictosexual, but im also just questioning sexuality irl. I know im lgbt, but just dont know what exactly )
They aren’t hurting anyone. Let them live their fantasy of happiness. I feel sympathy for them and can’t blame them how cruel people can be in the dating world. I prefer more this type of innocent love over illegal orientations like pedophilia, incest, zoophilia, and necrophilia. Let that sink in.
Honestly, as long as they are not using it as a replacement for real human interaction, then I do not see the problem. It is not as though there is one way to live life; people just like to project their expectation for social norms onto others and then claim that their way is the correct way. Having quality real human interaction is necessary for someone to maintain a good state of mental health, but there is nothing inherently wrong with this kind of relationship to a fictional character -- so long as the person can recognize that the character does not exist within our material reality.
Loneliness mostly, not finding a partner or your other half makes some people chose something else that will not reject them or can't say "no i dont like you that way, i cant marry you or you are not my type". So you find people desided to marry them selves, a tree, a dog and now this. Years from know there will be robots that acts like humans and a lot of people will chose them because they are just perfect, they have all what they're looking for in a partner and they'll end up marring them. And who know what other type of marriges we will see in the future.
I imagine its like the story of pygmalion, if there fictional spouse came alive i doubt they would retain their affection i think these people like you said are just lonely and find a therapeutic effect from their fictional spouse.
I don't even see this as a bad thing I feel bad for him because at least he's putting in the effort to marry something you know and hopefully that should send a message to other so if you know what next time I should approach this person so that this won't happen so you know so long as he has a job as long as he's paying bills long as he's being responsible he can afford a wedding and he did he did he proven that hay in order for me to survive in the world I don't really need to procreator to be with an actual human being song about being responsible with my time and respecting other people's space I'm free to do practically what I want on my free time.
I don’t think people who do this are disgusting, but I am sad for them. They are clearly suffering. I remember first finding out about this and thinking it was fake 😳
@@gr8b8m85 I had the same thought. In fact, to me these folks look quite happy. Sure, it may not be perfect because as the young lady points out, you can't communicate with a fictional partner. However, as AI advances (as we can already see with romantic chatbots) I think the ability to communicate with fictional characters will become easier, and fictosexuals will have an easier time finding love.
Waiting for HER to be a thing because holy cow, the AI itself would want me to improve as a humam being, and I would want for it to care by feeding me it's emotions, and I would be so immersed as if I have a long distance relationship but we talk over the phone senerio, and if we want to make love..there are services that either by a robot or a humam companion can emulate that body like in HER.
I kinda undertand them how i can blame them when most people in real life is a shit and the world is just getting worst, these people so far from what i could see in this video and others before are happy and leaving the fact that might or not being what most people call " normal" which in reality doesnt exist, i respect them they are an minory and like with any always human beings critize what they do not undertand or dont find aligning wtith their idea of what its correct and the worst is that i could forgive that kind of logic if was a case were could be hurting or effecting in a negative way to someone which isnt the case here. I just wish could have a fraction of that strengh to move forward without giving a shit about what other poeple think which today everyone is fucking critizing others like they dont anything better to do.

@*B All cool don't worry, since I can relate to this views I kinda wanted to explain the most common reason of this kind of thinking for people who can't understand that it isnt't about givinhg up on love, it's just we aren't that stupid anymore and we see other people how they truly are, without the mask
well, we also make art, and are beautiful. we cry when we are sad and wrap ourselves around people we love. we are warm and soft. we love people so much we would die for them, we die for them, we write, we sing, we cry when we eat good food, we wave to each other on boats, we draw pictures for each other if we don't speak the same language, we laugh and we all have different laughs, we give birth, we help people give birth, we draw things we love and things we hate, we are quiet, we are loud, we make friends with strangers, we smile at each other, we wear cruelty free makeup, we keep warm by fires, we rehabilitate animals, we sing songs, we tell stories, we are wonderfully stupid and practically insane, we sleep but sleep better by other people, we live together, we cry for people who are hurting, we wonder, we make echoes in empty places, we make things beautiful by loving them, we create good food, we share, we learn things, we sit and understand one another, we make mac n cheese, we want to be alive, we become doctors and social workers, we fix people and help people, we go to the moon, and we show others the things we have made because things are better shared.
@@jopyplejic5237 Why i feel like you wrote everything that i though?? like wtf are you kinda a psychic?? i just wrote a comment here and just scrolling down finding yours is amaizing to me finding someone else with the exact thoughts.
@@jopyplejic5237 but it seems they also desire advanced robots, so when robots develop to the point of being like humans would these people still love these character robots who can essentially make their own choices? Because it seems these people can only be satisfied with non sentient things.
I think most people have had a crush on a celebrity, fictional character, or someone else unobtainable. That part I can relate to. Is it healthy to take it this far? I don't think so. But, if it's not causing him any distress or harm, live and let live. 🤷♂️
I know they may not be hurting others (and only themselves, which is concerning), but this shows some people don't want relationships and prefer an ideal partner who will agree with them always. Which is not how relationships are made.
These people i can only see developing to the point of falling in love with synthetics which i guess was sorta of inevitable but based on the greek story of Pygmalion i wonder if AI develops to the point of human like consciousness would these people still love these characters who have their own sentients or are they placating some deeper desire
@@hyphydan the heartbreaking part will be when they realize that their "relationship" amounted to nothing and they wasted their life on a code written in an inanimate object. I don't think heartbreak or rejection can cause this type of behavior. This is something much more complex.
I respect their decision which they ” thought ” the decision of marrying a ”non living things “ can make them happier and satisfy their needs forever. But I don’t support this mindset or any social encouragement as most of them are just sinking into your own world and delusion. Really , I don’t think it’s alright for them to raise awareness and seeking for support from the public and influence the youngster to swing away from being a normal human being. However, To hear them saying how they are bullied, rejected and isolated in the society sadden the whole story. Hence, they have became self deceived, they basically don’t have the courage to face the world and themselves as they are scare to be rejected or hurt again. Now, they turned to a fake partner who won’t speak against them and will only agreed to whatever the owner asked for, don’t you think it’s so sick mentally. I just pity them😢
I have seen a lot of comments where fictosexuality is written off as a cause of loneliness. Which is not correct in many cases. Fixtosexuality is an real orientation. This means that many who are ficto aren´t even attracted to real life partners in the first place. Being asexual is similar in this regard - those who are asexual don´t miss relationships because they don´t adesire it. Then how can fictos be sad or lonely by not finding an in real life partner then? The math doesn´t math here. A different orientation than being straight *suggests* being attracted to a different thing so it wouldn´t make sense if they miss the straight thing. It comes down to the simple fact what people are falling for.
Is not the Society but the freedom of the individual to do what he feels right for him. Love and loneliness , sadness in general are an hard topic and some people shy and rejected came to this , I don’t want to judge them. It seems crazy to us, outside the Japan? yes but we have a different mindset
- That blatantly obvious attempt of VICE to set them up on a blind-date at the end though. 😂 - Let's face reality, the vast majority of them aren't _choosing_ it no matter what they say, they've simply lost hope of finding a real partner. It's very sad. 😕 - Glomming onto existing things is awkward, others have/use those characters. Make unique AI-generated characters instead. 🤦
The Miku dude was shown interest by real girls multiple times but decided against it because he had real feelings towards Miku that couldn't be changed. It was his own choice
Lol and how would you know that this wasn't their decision?. All you know about them is just a 20minutes video. 😂Its sadder that you have to find people whom you believe is inferior to you to boost up your pathetic ego just so you could feel superior. The guy definitely has experienced more happiness then you would ever have in your life And by your logic of grooming onto existing things. Does this mean that when girls has slept with a man once. They immediately become used goods and things become awkward when they get into a relationship even though they are single?.
@@eruno_actually you should look into the guys story more apparently he was rejected by women as a Teenager and he was severely bullied by his female co worker at his job witch cause him to have a nervous breakdown and he was like hey I’ll marry a fictional hologram character that doesn’t even exist and that is his real reason for doing this
@@TheKryptonianSaiyan I follow him on twitter, he nowadays seems really happy living with Miku and all with some tweets talking how marrying Miku made him more positive and outgoing. Honestly it's pretty sweet.
I am a psychologist 🤔. This is problematic in many ways. Human experience has structure and contextual in emotional support. Human beings need touch and validation from another tangible person. Fictional is negative enabling. Characters can't match up to real human emotional intelligence. Real is what we can touch and see. Intangible is unable touch it. Human beings need hugs and kisses along with consistency of validation of each other's existence
Indeed. I checked his story years ago when he just got married. Now this update with the presence of the life sized dolls and the robotics AI for a wife he is hoping for, it is already bothering I think. He slowly living more and more in the fantasy. When his reality and fantasy gets fully mixed, I think can be mentally dangerous.
@WelcometothesunnysideHuman beings can't bond with inanimate objects. That's part of human illusion. Which makes it Delusional. Chemistry allows us to bond with each other
1000th like! Also, I don't want to imagine the heartbreak when at age 60-70 some of these people realize that all those years, they could've worked on themselves and found a true life partner, or lovers, or made real connections, but they instead chose to project their insecurity-warped desires onto an illusion. That it was all a waste.
I learn about mental disorder and psychology to the point I assume religion are made for politics and mental disorder. It's all about control by fear and reward the concept of heaven and hell.
@@vivoslibertos I have read an interesting study, which tries to compare religious people with schizophrenia. Look it up. It basically says, that religious people show the same symptoms as people suffering from schizophrenia.
Human beings are weak they need something in with believe to even if is not real and is more present when we struggle in really hard times. Is funny how people think that they are sane when in relaity we all are sick mentally and as the times passes society is getting even worst living in a toxic enviroment we just are dying slowy without even realize.

He says it helped him feel better and he was finally able to return to work, but I feel like it created another problem for him, an obsession with a virtual character.

This is so sad. This guy has a full reception for his fake wedding and Im all alone for 10cywars now without even one single friend.
You're just jealous.
As someone who always have a crush with a fictional character, this is so relatable to me.
I have a crush on Jean Clawed (Minions The Rise of Gru).
I know they may not be hurting others (and only themselves, which is concerning), but this shows some people don't want relationships and prefer an ideal partner who will agree with them always. Which is not how relationships are made.
True.. Also this is mental illness
I disagree. These people got rejected and just gave up on finding someone.
Its heartbreaking.
These people i can only see developing to the point of falling in love with synthetics which i guess was sorta of inevitable but based on the greek story of Pygmalion i wonder if AI develops to the point of human like consciousness would these people still love these characters who have their own sentients or are they placating some deeper desire
@@hyphydan the heartbreaking part will be when they realize that their "relationship" amounted to nothing and they wasted their life on a code written in an inanimate object. I don't think heartbreak or rejection can cause this type of behavior. This is something much more complex.
@@mklava it's performative, they are just doing it to make a statement.
Lonely people in some way it's sab but in some other not that much.
i’m sorry but when at 0:21 the character started reading her vows, it cracked me up🤐
Why are you apologizing. It’s ridiculous from 00:00 till the end
Same 💀
And she can't divorce you!
Well Akihiko is going to be pleased to know about the release of GPT4 and other LLM's. Lots of options for him to get a chatbot for his wife.
I clicked on this instantly... what have we become...
LoL.......
These are fictional people,nobody can get hurt
As long as they are happy and its not having a negative impact on their life
Do you boo
I respect their decision which they ” thought ” the decision of marrying a ”non living things “ can make them happier and satisfy their needs forever. But I don’t support this mindset or any social encouragement as most of them are just sinking into your own world and delusion. Really , I don’t think it’s alright for them to raise awareness and seeking for support from the public and influence the youngster to swing away from being a normal human being. However, To hear them saying how they are bullied, rejected and isolated in the society sadden the whole story. Hence, they have became self deceived, they basically don’t have the courage to face the world and themselves as they are scare to be rejected or hurt again. Now, they turned to a fake partner who won’t speak against them and will only agreed to whatever the owner asked for, don’t you think it’s so sick mentally. I just pity them😢
Everyone would marry Geralt of rivia. I'm not gay but I would definitely marry him. Haha. I love Geralt.
So someone else could also marry the same fictional character right?
Yes
Escape the reality and live in fantasy and if there is no peace even in fantasy or after death
Then Where we will go we dunno
The title says video game character
Vocaloid fanbase: triggered when they called Miku a video game character
One of my friends married a guy in a virtual world while she is married to another guy in real life. I gave the ceremony. Hehe
😂🤡🤮
Ficto-affair?
That's more fucked up then real affair
🤣😂 Polyamory mindset but Monogamous-ish lifestyles
When you are a solid 4 but won’t settle for anything less than a 10 😂
did she say yes or the guy forcefully married
The beauty is she always says yes
It's not forceful, don't worry ^^
I’m so incredibly sad for these people
Which anime character should I married if I just want get japanese resident visa?
Marry who you love. Don't marry just to get married.
With ai, vtubers, and some other softwares
Like "Her"
This is just the next reality
Into the matrix we go...
So which copy they falling in love with because they're duplicated almost indefinitely
hatsune miku aint no way
I live in the US, can I marry Zack Fair?
This is kinda sad tbh
I have seen a lot of comments where fictosexuality is written off as a cause of loneliness. Which is not correct in many cases.
Fixtosexuality is an real orientation. This means that many who are ficto aren´t even attracted to real life partners in the first place. Being asexual is similar in this regard - those who are asexual don´t miss relationships because they don´t adesire it.
Then how can fictos be sad or lonely by not finding an in real life partner then? The math doesn´t math here.
A different orientation than being straight *suggests* being attracted to a different thing so it wouldn´t make sense if they miss the straight thing.
It comes down to the simple fact what people are falling for.
as long as he doesn't eat your neighbors' livestock and don't bite them. Still safe
Why do I feel like Mr. Kondo 's case is a trauma response mechanism, it feels sad.😢
How? Why?
She didn't agree to this! THIS A FORCE MARRIAGE!!!
😅😂
If i do this, I will not only have one husband but a hundred😃
Then you're not truly in love. This isn't about having a "collection" of husbands, it's about loving and getting married to one.
I'm moving to Japan! 😅
Ok…which one of you is this?
Well as long as I got invite for the wedding feast would not mind
19:14 minutes of extreme discomfort watching this. What have we became as a society?
Is not the Society but the freedom of the individual to do what he feels right for him. Love and loneliness , sadness in general are an hard topic and some people shy and rejected came to this , I don’t want to judge them. It seems crazy to us, outside the Japan? yes but we have a different mindset
@@itsiwhatitsi Still, marrying a fictional character is wrong.
what happens if multiple guys marry the same character?
husbands in law :D
there is infinite number of reality so we can all date a version form a other reality of the same girl.
Ignoring the other people who do.
Sad that in the real world there is no place for love for everyone
If you mean that, you dont know the meaning of love. Love is not purely romantic
@@ghost_1153 that is false. love is very much romantic
@@rudeegruenberg9184 never say you love your family ☠️☠️
so many types of human living in this world
There is nothing wrong with this. I would marry Hange Zoe if I could.
These people disgust me. You can't replace real love with a drawing.
Ironic having a Monika pfp and saying this
@@randominternetuser1966 At least I don't consider fictional women superior to real women. I know Monika can't replace real love.
This is pretty messed up
The host is soooooo handsome.
Age of consent in Japan is 13! 😢
OMG she married Morgyn from The Sims?? 🥹 So happy for you, sis 💕
Gay married not allowed. Married waifu doll or a Nintendo DS allowed somehow .
- That blatantly obvious attempt of VICE to set them up on a blind-date at the end though. 😂
- Let's face reality, the vast majority of them aren't _choosing_ it no matter what they say, they've simply lost hope of finding a real partner. It's very sad. 😕
- Glomming onto existing things is awkward, others have/use those characters. Make unique AI-generated characters instead. 🤦
The Miku dude was shown interest by real girls multiple times but decided against it because he had real feelings towards Miku that couldn't be changed. It was his own choice
@@eruno_ Hence "vast majority" instead of "all".
Lol and how would you know that this wasn't their decision?.
All you know about them is just a 20minutes video.
😂Its sadder that you have to find people whom you believe is inferior to you to boost up your pathetic ego just so you could feel superior. The guy definitely has experienced more happiness then you would ever have in your life
And by your logic of grooming onto existing things. Does this mean that when girls has slept with a man once. They immediately become used goods and things become awkward when they get into a relationship even though they are single?.
@@eruno_actually you should look into the guys story more apparently he was rejected by women as a Teenager and he was severely bullied by his female co worker at his job witch cause him to have a nervous breakdown and he was like hey I’ll marry a fictional hologram character that doesn’t even exist and that is his real reason for doing this
@@TheKryptonianSaiyan
I follow him on twitter, he nowadays seems really happy living with Miku and all with some tweets talking how marrying Miku made him more positive and outgoing. Honestly it's pretty sweet.
i prefer not to speak
Interesting video to watch.... in my belief I think they have the right to fall in love with a character.
This is going to become more and more common once humanoid robots like Teslabot come out.
This, Bart, is a crazy man...
So much of so called “traditional” marriage is a sham anyways. Let these people live.
I'm lost for words.
I am a psychologist 🤔. This is problematic in many ways. Human experience has structure and contextual in emotional support. Human beings need touch and validation from another tangible person. Fictional is negative enabling. Characters can't match up to real human emotional intelligence. Real is what we can touch and see. Intangible is unable touch it. Human beings need hugs and kisses along with consistency of validation of each other's existence
Indeed. I checked his story years ago when he just got married. Now this update with the presence of the life sized dolls and the robotics AI for a wife he is hoping for, it is already bothering I think. He slowly living more and more in the fantasy. When his reality and fantasy gets fully mixed, I think can be mentally dangerous.
@WelcometothesunnysideHuman beings can't bond with inanimate objects. That's part of human illusion. Which makes it Delusional. Chemistry allows us to bond with each other
these people have real human friends there's nothing to worry about they still get those things
Lol self-proclaimed psychologist. I checked your posts, your no psychologist alright
Reality might suck but it better than living in Fanta
i feel bad for miku
Why 😭
There's no need to. They're married because they're in love.

WUUUDDDAAAAAHEEEEEEELLLLL!!💀💀💀
This is insane!

Japanese are just different
It's not just Japan. I'm European and have a fictional love too.
Gosh this is so sad..
I hope they find therapy
japan
Holy shit
Waifuist Gang Rise Up
Mizore Shirayuki is my love 💜
1000th like! Also, I don't want to imagine the heartbreak when at age 60-70 some of these people realize that all those years, they could've worked on themselves and found a true life partner, or lovers, or made real connections, but they instead chose to project their insecurity-warped desires onto an illusion. That it was all a waste.
Nah miku is better
We're doomed
Wait…. 0:11…. what? Do I see leeks?
BRUH
Dont forget the fictional characters created by religion. There are billions who believe and love them.
I learn about mental disorder and psychology to the point I assume religion are made for politics and mental disorder. It's all about control by fear and reward the concept of heaven and hell.
@@vivoslibertos I have read an interesting study, which tries to compare religious people with schizophrenia. Look it up. It basically says, that religious people show the same symptoms as people suffering from schizophrenia.
Human beings are weak they need something in with believe to even if is not real and is more present when we struggle in really hard times. Is funny how people think that they are sane when in relaity we all are sick mentally and as the times passes society is getting even worst living in a toxic enviroment we just are dying slowy without even realize.
this is an opinion that i personally believe you shouldn't say it publicly or on the internet because it can cause a lot of drama
Told ya not to simply drop nukes on people
