| Why aren't "waifu" threads allowed? |

I saw this looking through the garbage bin of threads to see what's been tossed out. And I heard someone say that type of thread sexualizes the touhou characters and that's not in the spirit of touhou. Someone else got their thread locked for having a thread for "claiming" a touhou character. The admins assumed it was a reworded "waifu" thread, although from my view, it has nothing "waifu" or sexual meant if it is only claiming them, not marrying them. The word claim should have been taken literally, not as a euphemism for a "waifu" thread. Why do I see it that way? Well because there's lots of reasons to claim something. For example you could pretend they were all plushies and you were trying to collect them all, sort of like Touhou Pokemon maybe? Or maybe claiming them as your employees, who'd work for you as a body guard who'd use their powers to stop bad guys from robbing you? Seriously it seems like the admins were seeing bad stuff where it wasn't necessarily intended. But this is just one man's opinion. |

Good thing somebody made this thread because I was about to ask this question when I first joined but was scared because I thought I might get banned. Also I like the idea of claim your shrinemaiden.org waifu |

Even though I'm a total noob who didn't go to the old forums I can field this one. Waifu = japanese slurring of the english word wife. Touhou fans being obsessive over particular characters as they are would probably fight over who has the rights over a certain character incessantly. It's a bit of a one person to one character deal and with the character being fictional and unable to chose from various suitors, there's no way to fairly settle the dispute. Also, with the character being fictional, there's really no point in making a claim except to police other people's imaginations. The fighting would arise regardless or perhaps even because of the thread's purpose. It's a fairly simple issue I'd think. |

Back in the old forum, there used to be threads like "who would you sleep with." We all got along with this and its spinoffs, seeing interesting results like Patchy being in first. Then the proper waifu thread was made, where we all claimed Touhou characters as our "waifu" (FYI, this term is usually meant in a joking fashion). It became ridiculously popular, and role playing got very out of hand, and well, long story short the admins got sick of it and banned them ever since. I'd still like to see the "who would you sleep with" thread come back though; I thought it was entertaining. :-\ Though I guess now that there aren't any more polls it'd be harder to keep track of. |
