Should People Be Allowed to Marry Anime Characters?

Wow thats just sad.

Well that is an interesting point. If gays are allowed the right to marry then shouldn't the comic/manga otakus be allowed their happiness in a union with their two-dimensional life partner. The Bible even states that marriage is between a man and a woman, there is no specifications of the woman or man's dimesions. Do characters not have a soul and a personality? If I believe that Emma Frost understands me and is there for me mentally, physically and emotionally then is it not only right that I return those feelings to my queen. Like Air Bud, "Ain't no rules that the dog can't play!" So there ain't no rules that my wife must be three dimensional.

Now the only thing I must hope for is that 3-way with Kenshiro.

...Actually I am sure that there is something stating that wives must be real, and I am serious...Not sure exact wording.

Well I wouldn't know. Hell how would one introduce his "wife" to the family?

"Mother, this Sailor Mars and we're getting married."

I guess that depends on how you define marriage, and the implications of it. Not sure what the exact situation in the US is, though I believe married couples can file joint tax returns (correct me if i'm wrong), but in Australia the tax system is quite favourable for married couples with children, compared to singles without children- there are a number of Family Tax Benefits etc. In my opinion couples who clearly aren't going to have children- whether they be gay or 2-dimensional- should not receive these same tax breaks etc, as the purpose of these is to make it financially easier to have children.
If however they just want some way of demonstrating their feelings and commitment in a formalised way, sure, go for it.

...Is a serious discussion really starting to form?

I did not foresee such an outcome occurring.

Wow, that's amazing.

The closest he'll ever get to marrying a fictional character is if he dresses up a mannequin.

Me either. All of my posts weren't serious but it seems to be taken that way.

Unless scientists can develop a machine that can transport you into different dimensions, then yeah you can marry an anime woman.

Does anyone else think it's odd that "Journalists Drunken Rant" has a more prominent link than "20 die in nuclear sub accident" down the bottom of that story?

That person shud be taken to the mental institution immediately.

This is beyond retarded. I knew nerds were desperate, but I didn't know that they were this desperate.

You are now all going to go to youtube and listen to the Sailor Moon theme song.

Maybe if most Japanese women didn't move to America and dated white men then maybe this situation wouldn't have happened.

The funniest/most stupid part was all that talk of wanting to live in a 2 dimensional world. lol a million times

I have few points...

1. God never taught us to love a fictional characters from a story. it's about human with human. not human with fictional human. this is a real life. not a 2D world. please understand... this is not right.

2. they just don't understand what is the meaning of marriage yet.

3. imagine if one anime girl (example : Honoka Sawatari) was married by 100000 mens. and those 100000 mens claims that Honoka is his wife. unless they agree that one anime girl can be married by more than 1 man, there will be a riot.

WHATEVER FLOATS YOUR BOAT I SAY

This can't be real. I know some people can't be able to make **** like this up but come on now.

Prefer the real thing. They can be cute but the real thing is much better.
