The man who married a hologram in Japan can no longer communicate with his virtual wife. The software that allowed the interaction is no longer supported and the man can no longer interact with the hologram with which he had a relationship for years.
Fictosexuality is the term used to describe those people who are sexually attracted to fictional characters and in Japan little by little it becomes a trend, to the extent that there are companies that develop technology to offer users holographic couples.
Akihiko Kondo took his love for a fictional character one step further by holding a “getting married” ceremony with Hatsune Miku , a virtual singer who has starred in several video games and has even accompanied Lady Gaga on her world tours.
The ceremony took place in 2019, after the man was able to communicate with the hologram via Gatebox, a company that develops devices to holographically show characters that do not exist.

I wonder if he’s logged in, or maybe she just needs a good rebooting.

I will say that they never consummated their marriage so (Hard to believe!!) she was never his wife! :)
He had a relationship, but it was with the software programmer who provided the responses to his cyber girl friend. (Not wife for the reason given above!) He might try to find her and she might try to avoid him if he does!!
Then again...he might just be doing this for a bit of attention knowing the above.

I think the correct term is "wifu" maybe?
I took a peek down this rabbit hole and then ran away very fast.
Some people are just down right strange.

Yes! I immediately thought of Cherry 2000.....who was better because she wasn’t virtual.

For $1,599.00 he could get one of these that are much more than a hologram:

If you scroll the actual article, he has a lifesize doll of his fictional wifu.
The Japanese are going to wind up extinct if they don’t develop some cultural pushback against accepting fictional sexuality and genders.

My post was satire to ridicule this guy chasing the illusions of motherships. I went to the article and quit reading when his illusions convinced me he was in a fantasy world. When sex becomes simulated through the implanting of electrodes, we are ready for the Kool-aid.

Fictosexuality is the term used to describe those people who are sexually attracted to fictional characters...When I was a teenager I was attracted to "Daisy Duke" in those small tight blue jeans shorts...but don't think they used the term then...
