#Arbyswaifu "Actually, she's 54 years old"
- Thread starter FriskyCanuck
- Start date
Well, I guess anime and manga are so full of underage girls who are often still sexualized that a term like "waifu" had to be invented that is based on wife but totally doesn't mean the same or even a similar thing.
Why would you base it on wife if that possible double meaning is not intended? Maybe a convenient coincidence.
And thus you can easily have a child waifu like in this case.

Ololololol
The teacher who says "mai waifu" in Azumanga is a full on dodgy pervert.
Danganronpa 3 is extremely underrated. People judge it too much by the fact that it was worse than they expected.
Seriously. Why would anyone want to waste their time being upset at something so incredibly trivial?
you'll have to be more specific about which people on here you're talking about.
No one is upset. People are just pointing out that it comes across as if Gary Glitter is now CEO of Arby's. There are emotions between 'Totally okay with this' and 'Totally outraged'.
Ahhh I lost itThe replies to the Tweet are way more fun than this lame thread
Like the pedophilia aspect of it inside, it's very weird for them to be like "hey fellas, wanna fuck our mascot?"
Gotta get that Smug Wendy market in the door.
God knows they aren't increasing their market share with quality food.
Yeah. I rewatched it recently after having been pretty down on it myself, and knowing the stupid stuff that was coming, I found myself having a much more positive feeling towards it than I had when I finished watching originally.
When did using memes become "woke"? Isn't the recent Gillette ad a much better example of a brand being woke?
It seems the only people really outraged are those coming in here thinking people are outraged by the issue.
People just find the wording dodgy and that companies should prbably spend more than two seconds thinking out what they're tweeting if they're going to use slang.
What about the initial tweet or design makes you think "wanna fuck our mascot"?
The thing is that it's largely not a thing people are outraged over. This thread is likely the epicenter of outrage over this on the web because the tone of the OP let people know it was something they were supposed to be mad at. If you look at the replies to the tweet there's basically nobody upset. The best you get is people saying "WTF!?" and the one Tweet singled out in the OP.
hrrgnh Ronald-kun I'm trying to fry up some mcnuggies but I'm dummy thicc and the clap from my ass keeps annoying all the customers
You all kind of suck. There's really not much "outrage" in this thread, but there is certainly judgment (which I think is appropriate given the connotations) and I'm sure that doesn't sit well with you.
Yeah I think that's the point. "waifu" in conjunction with the artstyle, although some people are hand-waving by suggesting wiafu really only means favourite now
And? The show is still pretty wholesome. None of the characters are ever sexualised, not even with "zomg innocent kiss" routine you see in most high school dramas. Not even from the point of view of the teacher, who is constantly called out on his creepiness.
What are you babbling about? It's from this scene:
That's it.
Oh man...
I will forever be pissed about how they treated her. Also the ending was fucking bullshit.
Not sure I've seen "waifu" used with a child character, except by certain types of people. Seeing as how she's drawn like a clothed normal kid, I'm not sure the person running their Twitter account is fully understanding of the conotation behind that stupid word.
If they're just saying she's 54 years old because the brand is 54 years old and not because "so it's ok to fuck her" seems fine with me.
Yeah I get that. I'm really just commenting on this forum. The amount of outrage here is hard to deal with sometimes.
