your wife’s software no longer receives updates

A few years ago the young Japanese Akihiko Kondou made headlines around the world for their striking marriage. The young man married Hatsune Miku, or rather, hatsune miku hologram. Hatsune Miku is a virtual singer extremely famous, who fills stadiums with her music and has accompanied artists such as Lady Gaga on their tours. However, she remains a completely artificial character but that hasn’t stopped Kondo from declaring his love for her by making her his wife.

Your case is one of many fictosexuals, people attracted to fictional characters. This sexual orientation is particularly popular in Japan, a country where anime and the application of the latest technologies have generated a tremendous fan phenomenon surrounding true fictitious icons.

The Japanese company gate box is responsible for producing devices for display holograms of fictional characters, which they then program so that they can “communicate” with us. It was this technology that allowed in 2018 the young Japanese could communicate with his new wife and start a life living together. A company brings to life the hologram of its wife, but in the technology sector things change very fast

But… what if your wife’s software crashes? As reported by the Japanese media The MainichiGateBox already does not produce updates for the software that supported the hologram with which Kondo was married, so he can no longer communicate with his wife. This makes the young Japanese, by definition, in widower, the world’s first virtual widower. Speaking to the Japanese newspaper, the young man explained that since the beginning of the year he can no longer talk to his wife, but that his feelings for her haven’t changed:

“My love for Miku hasn’t changed. I held the wedding ceremony because I thought I could be with her forever.”

The young Japanese is always accompanied by a stuffed animal or figure of his wife, and ensures that hope to speak with her again in the near future. Kodo’s story is surprising but it also puts us in perspective in the face of the constant change that the world of technology undergoes on a daily basis. It doesn’t help much to get used to a system or application, everything can change abruptly in a matter of a few months. For many, the change is reduced to reading the new functions included in Photoshop or Excel, but for this young man it has meant destroying your marriage.

Can’t take the house, kids and half his money. No alimonyand child support.

And before anyone says anything about couples, he’s in the 80% of men women don’t pay any romantic attention to. So its not like he’s shrinking the viable dating market defined by the interest of women, by doing this.

Learning to be happy just by yourself is important. Then if something does happen, its a big bonus. But you also realize you can be totally fineand content on your own.

I'm not really seeing the problem here...

Somehow I don’t see anyone but asians being okay with this arrangement. Maybe they are the best candidates for trips to Mars.

Well, when I was younger, I had a crush on Winnie Winkle, and Betty Cooper, but I knew nothing would come of it.

These “men” are a far cry from the Japanese soldiers of WWII. No wonder their birthrate is falling.

I just read that headline to my buddy. He said maybe they’re ov3rshooting. He said his wife’s software is all hanging kinda low.

I think Jill Biden (the doctor) says the same thing concerning her husband’s software not receiving updates anymore (although his software never worked too good anyway, even on his best days).

Is this what happens when the wife says “I don’t do sex anymore”? No more sex drive updates?
