No. 3185
[Edit]
John stood at the hastily-constructed podium, addressing an audience of several dozen all from the comfort of his own room. Video conferencing. One of the greatest conveniences of our modern times. John faced a small camera and spoke to a microphone that was hooked up to an online recording program. Although he could not physically see them, John was assured that the people he was talking to were very, very real.
"Welcome, fellow NEETs, hikikomori and otherwise people who are interested in our culture. Today I speak to you about the nature of sexuality. A first word of warning, however- we will be mainly talking about this subject from a male's point of view, but for a smaller subset of women, the points raised will apply just as equally. So if there are any females in our audience, please do not take offence at the assumptions made in the language of this speech, because it is simply convenient to speak this way about a phenomenon mostly dominated by males.
"Long ago, many of us may have abandoned our sexual desires for women in the third dimension. 'Given up', so to speak. Or for some, they may not have even had an interest at all. And for others, they have never 'given up' at all- for the word 'giving up' implies that they have settled for less- no, they simply PREFER the alternative. The that alternative, as many of you are already familiar with, is 2D.
"Yes, to satisfy our sexual urges it is neccesary to reflect those urges upon an alternative source should the natural source our ancestors have relied on be undesirable for whatever reason or motivation. To deny ourselves sexual release would be self destructive in many cases, or require extreme amounts of willpower in others. 2D is convenient in many ways- it need not be expensive, it is quick, and the visual depiction of women can be precisely crafted to eliminate flaws and cater directly to a man's personal tastes. Reality is not so flexible.
"With a quick glance, this seems to eliminate a lot of the problems associated with real women. Indeed, given how convenient 2D is, it is surprising to find that most humans do not use it. So why exactly, we must ask ourselves, do most people NOT use it?
"I believe the answer is because it is one sided. Men don't just need sexual release, gentlemen. No man is an island, gentlemen. They need love. They need to hug someone, and for someone to hug them back. Being alone can slowly erode the confidence and sanity of even the most emotionally resilient men. If someone just wanted sexual release, they could have just microwaved two pieces of steak and put their penis inside it. I imagine some of the more adventurous men in our audience may have already tried this.". John imagined some of the people in the audience laughing. "No, gentlemen, men have a need to love and to be loved back. So now what?
"Hence, we enter the waifu. Yes, it is possible to circumvent our second biological requirement for female companionship further still by only using the power of 2D! But as convenient as it sounds, it is not an easy task! One must dwell on the power of their imagination alone. A man can hug his waifu, but he must imagine his waifu hugging them back. This is a difficult task by no stretch of the imagination, no pun intended. Where once an ideal woman did not exist, we force themselves into existence by using our power of imagination and self-deception. People have said that this is unsustainable. That this is madness and will eventually cause a man to become mad. I refuse to believe this is so. I want YOU to prove them wrong! So men, raise your arms and let your love for your waifu spill forth! Explode your heart in happiness and love for your waifu! The stronger you can make those feelings come, the more convincing and real they become, and the greater you can justify your own style of living!"
