Normal in the Otaku world, but for the more ordinary people, this is probably worth a laugh D:

And in case the link's not working, here's the topic

Otaku have petitioned the government for the right to marry 2D characters.

The online petition in question:

“We’ve no interest in the 3D. If we could, we’d like to live in a 2D world. However, with current technology, this is not possible. So at the very least, can we have marriage to 2D characters legally recognised? If this were to come to pass, I intend to marry Asahina Mikuru.”

The most interesting comment we see in response is this:

“I’ve been married to Arcueid of Tsukihime for five years now. I’ve no doubt that I want to spend the rest of my life with her. As someone who lives in two dimensions, I’d very much like to support this measure!”

Via Gigazine.

Currently the measure has 530 supporters, with a million seemingly being the target for it to be presented to the diet, should they tear themselves away from trying to ban 2D characters for long enough to hear it.

so, what happens when 50 otakus all want to marry the same character, legal problems? unless they're gonna legalize poligamy as well.

4th time I've seen this in one day...

Anyway, let them do what they want, it's not like anything will change even if the petition gets passed :roll:

Normal? No. Amusing? Yes, very. Bizzare? Definitely. Will it get passed? Not likely.

Old news is old. *cough*2days*cough*
Still freaking awesome, though. Especially some comments:
I guess they’d all be angry at the fact that I’m posting nekkid picz of all their wives on 4chan…
This has got to be copyright infringement in some way or another…

Or all future copyright notices will say the following:

“You may not present, reproduce, or MARRY the following material without proper consent from the owner.”
Would it be incest if you marry your own character?

Be ready, prepare your own 2D marriage tag. o.ob

"Urusai, urusai, urusai!"
Oops, wrong recording. D:

"Hai!"

Father: I now pronounce that you are husband and loli. You may kiss your figurine!

o.o;

I admit I've got it baaaaad for Genjyo Sanzo, but where's the benefit of legally binding yourself to someone you can't hold, or talk to, or well, anything?

(So sez someone who has sworn off relationships with real people because they're equally useless. >_>)

We've got too many hoomans already. Just kidding.

There's an idea. Virtual reality kids. You could turn them off when they get too annoying. =-P

I can just see it now. Someone will create robots (think Jude Law's character in AI or Star Trek TNG's Data) that will look, act, and talk like popular fictional characters. It would be a bonanza for the sex industry. :twisted:

HIghly amusing.

Although I'm sure some of the more Otaku-otakus already have had some sort of wedding ceremony with some of their figurines. :shock:

Code Monkeys anyone? Todonia?

Somewhere, some how, we need to rescue Japanese male otaku from themselves :)

I like anime, I like it alot. Hell I even don't mind wanking to it when I want to indulge my stupid side.

But there has to be a limit :)

It's no wonder they have a declining birth rate.

Real females FTW.
Anime, one of the few things about the internet that doesn't make me hate the internet.
