Definition of Waifu

Mod Note: Since the thread starter could not ask nicely nor politely, the opening post has been edited by myself, to aid new users in understanding the term "waifu".
Focus of the topic: What exactly is a "waifu" and what does it stand for?
Thank you.

that was actually somewhat educational
i always thought the waifu thing originated within the fakku community - a simple japanese spelling of 'wife' like how fakku is from fuck, didn't really think of it as coming from 4chan.

Actually it's from Azumanga Daioh
Mai Waifu (Engrish for “My Wife”) is a popular catchphrase based on a scene from the high school anime Azumanga Daioh. While the term “Mai Waifu” is often used in Asian cultures as a casual reference to one’s spouse in conversations, it’s been also adopted by otaku circles and anime fans when discussing one’s favorite manga & anime character.

That was educational indeed.
I like how he made a point about how some geeks have a standard of a girl being a virgin cause I agree that's stupid and I actually lol'ed at it.
In hentai that might be a delicious thing to have a girl who's a virgin but in real life that's really not..To be honest most of the girls I've ever dated even Asians weren't virgins. That turned out to be a damn good thing cause rather than always asking how she's doing or she doesnt know how to do it. There more confident to please you as the guy said.

Someone made a conscious choice to make a 14+ minute video bitching about a subject they have a problem with.
I think I'm OD'ing on irony right now.

To be serious about waifu, since I consider all the previous posts, including my own, lacking in any substantive explanation, I'll do what I can to define what a waifu is.
On the most basic level, a waifu is a female character that someone feels a certain emotional connection to.
It is essential to any story that the readers or viewers are exposed to characters that they can connect to. This is where my interpretation of the definition of waifu comes from. As I'm watching anime or reading manga... I may find a character that is so well developed, that even if I can't completely relate to them, as the story progresses, I feel a certain emotional attachment.
We all love anime and manga, so if you say you haven't become emotionally invested in what happens to a specific character, you're full of shit. Anyone who was around for the MoteMote competitions knows that I'll post a wall of text to stand up for my waifu. By the way, when the fuck is there gonna be another MoteMote competition.
This might not be the right place to say this, but I'm not sure Data Zero is worthy of having Misato as his waifu, but we can get into that another time.
