/mai/ - Waifu★

I just heard about this, pretty amazing stuff.

I do wonder what their intentions are, is it simply to boost their employee's confidence and emotional stability so that they work well?

That's kind of cool. I saw this a while ago but thought it was fake. Too bad I have no knowledge of or interest in programming.

That being said, I'm kind of wary of waifu love coming into the public view. The more we get attention, the more we'll be ridiculed, ostracized, condemned, and lumped in with degenerate lifestyles we have no relation to. I don't want that.

You shouldn't put so much weight into what people think of your love

Personally, i think the prospect of waifuism being looked down upon or seen as "forbidden" would only reinforce my feelings for Fuuka

Well this is really nice. I knew they were sincere into their objective as supporting 2D relationships, but this goes beyond what I hoped!

I still am kinda sad that I haven't the money to buy one, but I am confient that I will be able to someday.

They will start selling the first 300 units this December. And they can sell it to America too. Sadly it's only in Japanese for now, and with the standard character Hikari. The price is 298,000 Yen - around 2,650 $. Yes it's a lot, damnit

Also, from their blog:

>We are developing an app linked to Gatebox that allows you connect to your character whenever and wherever you are. Development is currently underway on a Gatebox link app to allow you to connect with it whenever and from wherever.

See pic related, this is great.

Ah forgot this - a Miku version of Gatebox is coming in 2018, probably. They shown this prototype at a festival in early september.

>Offer marriage certificates for you and your 2D wife

>Straight up tells haremfags to fuck off

Truly the greatest company.

>You can send messages to her

Okay, this is cute. I'm still 50/50 on the 'AI waifu' thing, but this might convince me.

That's my feel as well. I would be much more inclined to purchase one if they brought in the show writers to consult or something, so that they would make her actually her, and not just a glorified Siri that looks like her.

This is actually quite a smart move.

By offering such benefits specifically to waifuists, they are therefore way more likely to attract waifuists employees. Indeed, not only do they offer more money and an extra day off for waifuists, but they also send the message that the enterprise normalise waifuism, so one will feel that he can be himself as a waifuist in front of his colleagues and talk about his relationship openly without being stigmatized.

How is it an advantage for the company? Well if you have waifuists working on your waifu AI machine, than you are way more likely to get better results, because waifuists are not only going to work for the money, but also out of genuine passion. Waifuist employees will also perfectly understand what waifuists clients would want with this waifu AI machine, so the product will be of higher quality.

Really, the people working at Gatebox’s recruitment office are pretty clever.
