I have literally no idea. It's probably a shitty internet thing though. Like the terms roastie or Chad.
Adam Taylor
any culture you don't control is shitty and lame
it must suck to have to simultaneously hold contempt for and try to extract surplus value from every group of humans that you meet
Tyler Miller
Because waifu sounds cuter
James Fisher
Because some guy in Lucky Star or something like that said it and people just went with it.
I just use wife.
Owen Hall
it's an old ass meme, it's what the creepy teacher from azumanga daioh says
Jeremiah Sullivan
Ok that makes slight sense
You feel alot of hate, grate
James Long
/a/ populated it. I wish it stayed there
Leo Ramirez
you feel a lot of anxiety, piety
Michael Kelly
you feel nothing but constant fear that the shitty toxic edifice that you've poured your life into that's also slowly poisoning and killing you will be struck down and irreparably ruined if it doesn't assimilate the mother fuckin Anime Club
Kevin Myers
I don't watch anime often only sometimes on TV
Cooper Phillips
What? Are you trying to sound smart and negative? Because all you are doing is showing how prentious you are.
Isaiah Peterson

>Why do westerners use the term waifu instead of yome, note:(yome is the wife term in Japanese)
it stems from ancient weeb culture
back in the day, Jow Forums shitposters actually had a devoted religion for waifus. It wasnt a meme. the religion was fucking REAL.
but of course, nobody actually knew japanese, so they invented 'waifu'
Caleb Baker
because waifu is how it sounds when a Jap says the english word.

Also a reminder that most anime weeaboos don't even know japanese. And honestly, if you know an anime weeaboo that knows japanese, it's probably some perverted eroge faggot
Japanophile master race
Colton Mitchell
I can say wife normally
Jack Gutierrez
>responding to someone who used the word "Jap"

Adam Nguyen
>nobody actually knew japanese, so they invented 'waifu'

Watch this documentary. Educate yourself on how Jow Forums weeb culture used to operate.
Waifuism is actually pretty well documented, in hindsight.
Matthew Cox
Okay that makes perfect sense?

Don't support racist bigotry. The hivemind that is japanese society would have trained you to not entertain these faggots for a second, but you're on Jow Forums where you can fool retards that don't know better. Well today's not your fucking day kiisama.
Aiden Foster
jap is not racist that is just short way of saying japanese
Kevin James
Dude seems a faggot who got his info from knowyourmeme and urban dictionary.
This is correct

Julian King

Even the japanese government located in Japan says its racist and most japanese people say its racist. It's universally condemned by all japanese people.
The only people you won't offend are young kids who are dumb as fuck. Their schools cover ww2 and they're rigorously taught about the japanese concentration camps. That comment wouldn't slip by unchallenged by any well-educated japanese folk.
