   Summertime for Zeon (washedoutgundampilot@poa.st)'s status on Friday, 02-Feb-2024 11:53:46 JST Summertime for Zeon

   I once wondered the same, and had it explained to me with this. It's gross, of course, and largely a tremendous and massive cope that will blow away once the guy does enough push-ups. It's a shirk, a retreat, a quitting wrapped in nice words to feel like never fighting the most important battle of your existence is a high-minded, noble affair.

   We actually had a big argument about this, because it spiraled beyond the scope of just "living for a waifu"... I just don't find much honor in the monastic life, no matter how gussied up it is, no matter how much tradition is built up around it. I see the vow of childless, abstinent life to be an abrogation to the duty held to our ancestors to see the family line through to the end of days.

   No matter how high-minded sacrifice is, you're still killing off hundreds of thousands of would-be children from the family. It'll always carry the scent of vanity throw them on the pyre and derive the benefit for yourself - they are not your lives to sacrifice, because your life is theirs, too

     @WashedOutGundamPilot @Shadowman311 I totally get the robot waifu thing, but to me it's like putting a cheat code in a video game. You aren't really playing. Any level you beat, it's hollow.

     @sickburnbro @Shadowman311 @WashedOutGundamPilot That feeling wouldn't really be hollow if the game itself were rigged by the corrupt "game devs" of the world.

     Yea, 10 years ago is also when I decided to go on hiatus. However, I did recently ghost one big convention to ensure my access tactics still worked. They did, but I only stuck around long enough to oogle at cosplays and get a few beers. While eavesdropping on some marines sharing scuttlebutt about leadership woes.
     
     Eventually you have too many people, enforcement becomes a nightmare and if you look serious enough people will pass you off as security, hotel staff or as a vendor.

     I'll be your wing man.
     We get banned together.
     
     Once banned we wreak havoc on the event in other ways from afar.

     anime cons have been infiltrated by shitlib busy bodies who still promote post gamergate ettiquete enforcement.
     
     Approaching and talking to women is seen as harassment and risks expulsion from the event.

     @WashedOutGundamPilot @pyrate @Shadowman311 I'm starting to think hitting on the shy gothic lolita cosplayers at my local anime convention isn't such a bad idea.

     I'd rather not have a defeatist attitude about it because there are decent women out there who are disillusioned and disgusted by all of this modernity shit. They long for a lasting love that isn't fleeting or simulates casual, metropolitan hook ups that don't go anywhere.

     @pyrate @Shadowman311 That's why I keep talking about it - these girls exist in greater proportion among gen A and Z than they did in the millennials. They are out there, terrified and disgusted by the world around them, and they can't find a way out. They know they want to be happy, but they lack the firm hand of a captain on the wheel of life, so they just passively float on from one year to the next.

     If they stay unclaimed long enough they end up a weird blend of trad-feminist, a very irritating creature to be around
