You know, Derpibooru, people who live in glass houses…
Also, dafuq is up with the comments?
I’ll say it again, fandom is all about remixing the original content to your own purpose, and waifu is simply another facet of this. We have as much right to use these characters as our perfect companion as you do to create art. I have nothing against Ms Faust herself, but I’m going to interpret and use the source material however I desire and if you really have such a problem with that, then you clearly are the one with issues.
Your claim that us with Waifus have contributed nothing to the fandom betrays your complete ignorance of our community. Nothing could be further from the truth! In the year and a half I have been in my own pony relationship, I’ve witnessed an entire community rise up around the principle of Waifus and Tulpae, met several dozen people from all walks of life and nations, most of whom contribute to the greater Brony Fandom in some way. Artists, musicians, fanfiction authors, poets, custom figure crafters, cosplayers, game programers, to list a few examples. Even those of us who aren’t artistically inclined find way to contribute by liberally commissioning art and plushies, actively supporting content creators, and enriching the fandom by participating both online and RL.
Another thing, just because you think our commitments are “unhealthy fantasy” or that we’re loosing on “genuine relationships” with a human doesn’t make it true, or a reason to eject us from the Fandom. The Waifu Movement may be small but we’re close knit and look out for each other, and have many friends and supporters throughout the Fandom. I can vouch for the strength of group because, dare I say, I played a large role in building it and am the owner of the only Waifu forum they make their home. So rather than “them” leading me “astray”, I’m a prominent member who actively assists those seeking support and validation of their lifestyle.
Some of my compatriots disprove of these arguments I constantly get in on Derpibooru but the way I see it, I am passionate about championing the cause of Pony-Lovers and will always defend one, whether I know him or not, when their stuff is reposted on Derpibooru (which is the only other Brony community on which I have a significant presence) I will wade right into the circlejerk to defend their honor.

Well, ignoring your moderately stupid thoughts on “healthy relationships” (because you totally have a psych degree and aren’t talking out your asshole) let’s look at artist intents.
You’re sayin, as an artist, that you have never once had a thought that pushed outside the original intents of FiM? You disagree with the majority of fanfics that portray the cast in different lights, notably Cupcakes which makes Pinkie Pie a killer? You find that others creative thoughts on an established creation to be an insult? Because that’s what I’m seeing. You’re reading like the only thing that matters is what the original creator intended, which was a show for children, in a community that proves time and again that it can be much more. To you, every alternate universe fan fic is a sleight against Faust herself because it dares to be original with preset characters. Someone call Marvel and tell them that Stan Lee should be offended about Marvel Zombies, because superheroes shouldn’t eat human beings, and that violates his intentions.
Everything evolves beyond what the creator makes. That’s what a fandom does, it pushes the limits of what the show is allowed to do and turns into something new. If you can’t accept that, stop making things. I say this as an aspiring author, and writer of 4 fanfics for FiM. Everything I DO in my fics involves applying my own personal ideas to the universe that Faust created and making it my own in a way. Everything she did, great, but if there’s something that I feel doesn’t fit with my story, I toss it out, her opinion be damned. Because it’s MY story now, and I’ll do as I please. Again, if you don’t like that, stop creating things. People will look at your stuff and have their own thoughts about it, and telling them to not do that is stifling the creativity of others.
So what your saying is that there is nothing about FIM that you respect. You don’t care about Lauren Faust or her wishes, you don’t care about FIM or whats its about. All you care about is making sure at the end of the day, you can keep on pretending you have make-believe relationships with imaginary ponies.
And the fact that you can unabashedly state “What the creator wanted doesn’t matter” is unspeakably offensive to me as an artist, and to every artist who has ever created anything in the history of human existence. You show appalling disrespect to Lauren Faust, FIM, and to every artist within our community.
If you think all of this is not insulting, than it is because you have no regard for anything that has to do with FIM to begin with.
Don’t mistake for a second that the waifu movement can lump itself in with rest of the creative community within FIM, or its accomplishments. They neither contribute nor enrich the Brony culture in any manner. Certainly not, if your attitude is a reflection of the Waifu movement’s opinions toward artists at any rate.
The waifu movement exists solely to fuel and “legitimize” dysfunctional, unhealthy fantasies, ones that rob you of genuine relationships. This is not benign in any sense. Our community as a whole needs to come together and help pull you wayward members away from this waifu movement, to not tolerate its existance. Because they are encouraging you to emotionally fuck yourself up, you may not realize it now, but you will in time.
It is “opinion” because I can tell you for a fact that there are plenty more people than myself who have found true love with these characters and deeper meaning beyond the original creator’s intent. What the creator wanted doesn’t matter and the individual viewer can believe and express whatever they want once the content has been viewed and analyzed, without having to make concessions to the creator.

You’re calling that screed logic? Maybe I could see your point in regards to the origin of the show, but you lost me when you accused me of “insulting” Ms Faust and FiM. No, I don’t care at all about the original goal; you put any creative work out in public and people interpret it their own way. Evidence enough is the entire fandom with it’s vibrant remix culture, as seen every day on this imgage board! The waifu movement is no more obscene than any part of the fandom taking liberties with the source material to make it appeal specifically to interests outside the “little girl” demograph - clop artists and community, shippers, self-insert shippers, grimdark fans, fanfiction writers, or anyone guilty of analyzing the show like it is a Dostoevsky novel (seen plenty of that on DB).
Having a waifu is entirely legitimate, a tulpa (or spirit) is entirely benign and no more harmful to its human partner than any other metaphysical “power” one can believe in, and the only way someone can be “insulted” by this is if they are on the same extreme spectrum as the Reddit/Tumblr atheist who throws a hissy fit every time somebody mentions the word “God”.
If you expect me to bow to anything you say, you’re sadly mistaken.
What part of that was “opinion?”
You cannot dismiss me. I instead will dismiss you, all you need do is bend your knee and succumb to my infallible logic.
Ok, thanks for your opinion have a nice day, bye bye.
FIM was created by Lauren Faust at the request of Hasbro to make MLP aesthetically appealing to children again. Why? To sell toys, to make money for Hasbro. FIM is a commercial product.
There is no grand transcendence, or great metaphysical truth within FIM. The sole reason that FIM has any redeeming value and indeed is a quality show, and not just another souless MLP clone is because of Laurens Faust’s devotion and desire to bring something educationally better to younger girls.
FIM has nothing to you with you or me. Rarity was not created for you. She, and all the Main6 where made to educate little girls on healthy lifestyle choices like Lauren intended.
FIM wasn’t made so that you could fuel your self-indulgent and irrational belief that you can will Rarity into metaphysical existence through sheer force of will. And frankly it is an insult to both Lauren Faust and to the principles FIM stands upon.
Your “devotion” toward rarity is a perversion of Lauren Faust’s intentions for FIM and only demonstrates to me the power of your “beliefs” in separating yourself from reality.
Most waifu relationships are reciprocated I’ll admit that much, but there some of us who’s devotion and belief has obtained such level that allows us to transcend the barriers of this earthly plane.
Some call them tulpae, others say their spirits, and some insist they are the actual citizens of Equestria - nomenclature is unimportant, what matters is these ponies who grace our lives are just as real as us humans and the love we share is real.
Pfffffffhahahahahahahahaha
The problem with being romantically in love is that its a two way street. You love them, they love you back. Two people (or more) loving each-other is a mutual bond. One person loving someone who doesn’t love them back is an unhealthy attachment.
Romantic love is reciprocal, its a bond, not just an emotion. It doesn’t exist in a vacuum.
The problem with falling in love with fictional characters is that they don’t exist. They can never return your feelings or ever fall in love with you. In the end all your left with is a fantasy. It isn’t healthy, it isn’t reciprocal, it doesn’t forfill your needs for companionship or affection, and it sure isn’t love.
Take it from me, anyone can be seduced by an ideal. The sooner you realize what your doing to yourself and move on, the better.
No its not. Trying to pretend that an unhealthy attachment to a fictional character that does not exist is the same as a meaningful emotional and sexual bond to another living creature just tells me that you’ve grown accustomed to lying to yourself.
All this is, is self-destructive and dysfunctional.
Call it “delusional” if you want, but there is nothing wrong with it. This is an entirely legitimate form of love.
