It's true that many come into r/waifuism with those conditions already. Problem is, many incentives to get better are removed, or at least discouraged, from the members upon joining. Much of our personal growth as people lies in those we interact with; the social dynamics between peers and, yes, our perceived romantic interests. The culture in waifuism is undoubtedly stagnant and maladaptive in large part because of this, as it forcefully completes one part of the puzzle of life - finding a partner to share your life with - with that caveat that you uphold a shared delusion; and the preexisting mental damage gets worsened by creating this echo chamber of people with problems, ranging from mild to severe, that are required active participants in it. On top of all that, you are giving and given the impression that their "SO" is reciprocating affection or can sense it in some metaphysical sense.
So yeah, whether you're looking to freshen up psychologically, or put together the fragments of your shattered sanity, r/waifuism is the mental equivalent of shit on a leg gash.

Looking at the blog, it seems she never really left, just changed her site's URL and didn't tell anyone. But I guess the lack of recognition gave her a moment of weakness enough to share the new URL.

Prepare yourself!
This is a long one...
Firstly, I have to stress that ultimately, it was very good for me to have found a community of people that share a similar lifestyle and mindset. Itās nice to know that you arenāt allow in your feelings, and while it personally doesnāt matter if Iām alone or not, I am who I am, itās still beneficial to be able to share my stories with others and be understoodāat least on some level. During my time in the waifuism space, Iāve met many wonderful, kind and supportive people who have honestly enriched my life, and trust me, that isnāt something I say lightly. So many different types of people from all walks of life, young and old all gathered together to share their love for 2D beings.
Yes, it was quite rewarding being apart of such a unique group of people. That said, it wasnāt all sunshine and rainbows. There was a very dark underbelly looming underneath the fluffy atmosphere. A history that, as I learned more of it, I wanted to distance myself from. However, I wonāt go into that here, as this isnāt the main factor that led me to leave the community. There were several factors-- not all dark in nature either. It was mostly due to my own preferences, but there were more serious issues as well. Itāll start with the lightest on the list:
When it comes down to it, I simply didnāt enjoy the face-paced rush of social media engagement. Social media has never been my cup of tea, ever since it first started getting steam back in 2010. I grew up with personal webpages and slower paced forum boards. Back in the day, obviously, there werenāt as many people using the internet as there are today, and there was a constant 24/7 connection either. It allowed for more reflection time and breathing room. That simply isnāt the case today, and the constant stream of posts, notifications and ālikeā farming is tiring. Even my short time on Reddit was far too overwhelming for me. I had never interacted with that website before I found the r/waifuism community created there. This was my sole reason for joining and trying to keep up with a social media platform. I tried, and tried, and tried again, as my time there was enjoyable in a lot of ways, but in the end, it was far more stressful than fulfilling. It wasnāt worth my effort. The same holds true for related Discord communities. Real time chatrooms really arenāt my thing, and this too lead to more stress than pleasure. Iām a person who likes to do things at my own pace, on my own terms, who doesnāt feel pressured into constantly having to make a post.
Now onto the more serious factors:
The lessor of the two would be that I simply grew tired of having to downplay and skate around my true feelings for Ike, and my relationship with him. Everyone is different and sees the world in their own way. Within the biggest waifuism community, r/waifuism, there was a unwritten rule to not go ātoo farā when expressing your feelings and relationships. It is stressed that r/waifuism is a community for people who are āin love with fictional charactersā. FICTIONAL is the point to take away. I personally have not and will never recognize Ike to be a āfictional characterā. He is very much real to me in every single way, the only difference is him being a 2D being. I donāt care if I seem ādelusionalā or whatever else, Iām being my authentic self unapologetically. The problem isnāt others thinking ill of me. People are entitled to their opinions, and I personally donāt care what others think. Itās the point that my expression was being suppressed and discouraged. As long as no one is being hurt, there shouldnāt be cause for this suppression. However, at the end of the day, itās not my community, and they can govern it however they please. R/waifuism is far from perfect. Itās flawed in many ways, but itās the main gateway for like-mined people to find spaces for those like themselves. It serves a very important purpose and shouldnāt be discredited for that reason.
At the end of the day, I didnāt like feeling like the lonely minority in my views. I was already a minority as a Black woman in a white majority space which caused other discomforts. (More on the next) The fact is that Iāve had to pretend not to feel what I have felt for most of my life, and once I fully allowed myself to be who I truly was, Iām not going to take steps backwards and start holding myself back again. That does nothing but causes more unneeded harm, and life is far to short for that.
This last point is what ultimately drove me out of the community as a whole:
As previously mentioned, as a Black minority in a white majority community, there were issues I brought to the forefront regarding race that werenāt properly acknowledged or explored. For context, I had been suffering from severe racial trauma for months following the murder of George Floyd last year. That even only opened the floodgates for all of the other social injutices and sbuse my people face to be brought to the surface. Years of suppressed trauma bubbled to the time, and I was suffering...really, really sufferingā¦ Clearly, I wasnāt at all okay during that time, and still arenāt doing well honestly. However, I thought that since the point of the waifuism community was to share your love of your 2D partner, and explore as to why you loved them, that at least doing that would help make the conversation around race more tolerable. After, the reason I fell in love with Ike as child in the first place was because he acknowledged racial issues and fought against them. He fought to bring people together under one banner despite how you look, what your history was, or where you came from. That inspired me, and I will ALWAYS love him for the type of person he is. Ike is a true anti-racist ally who doesn't stand by with an awkward look on his face when he sees injustice playing out in front of him. He doesnāt stand around and say āI had NO IDEA this was happening! I hope things get better for you!ā and drops it. Ike actually takes action to lift up others who have been pushed below him. Something not enough people care to do in this world. People are far too comfortable turning the other cheek on these issues just because it makes them āuncomfortableā. It must be nice to have such a luxury where you can simply ignore matters like that because they make you sweat a little. Try actually having to live in our shoes, then tell me how āuncomfortableā you are. Perhaps this sounds harsh, but Iām just being real. Thereās no room to tiptoe around timid folkās feelings when it allows white supremacy to be upheld.
Granted, I didnāt speak about these issues often. I didnāt want to cause a ādisturbanceā as people think of these racial issues as āpoliticsā instead of the civil rights issues that they are. (Which says a lot about people.)
Though, the main reason I didnāt speak out much was because of how emotionally draining it was. The constant dismissal, indifference, and lack of empathy surrounding these issues became too much to bare. I noticed that I slowly began harboring resentment under all that pain, which manifested in un- ideal behavior from myself. At times, I was unkind to others. Iād go quiet, or push people away. That pain and resentment took many forms, and I didnāt like who I was becoming. Clearly, it had been building up over the months, and because the waifuism space is white majority, these issues couldnāt be understood on any level, which led to more dismissal and obliviousness. Coupled with me no wanting to speak more open and honeslty about it to avoid ārocking the boatā, letās just say it was very uncomfortable, and I only suffered more and more as time when on. I have a problem with not wanting to ābe a botherā, and so, if something is causing me pain, I usually keep quiet about it and deal with it on my own. This isnāt always the case, but most of the time, it is. And thatās not healthy for anyone, especially when racial abuse is the topic of discomfort.
At the end of the day, even if you find a community that shares a lifestyle similar to yours, people are still people. You can never always be understood and united on all fronts. This isnāt to say that the people within the community were bad people, not at all! As Iāve said, Iāve met some of the sweetest, kindest, hardworking folk around, and there were people who were sympathetic and willing to listen to these traumatic stories. Ultimately though, I think leaving was for the best. I couldnāt continue to pretend I was okay emotionally while being in an environment populated by people who have and will NEVER experience the trauma around race that I have, and be so detached from it all. And because of my upbringing and mental state, forming and maintaining bonds with others is far too much of a demand from my mind. Itās just something I am unequipped for. Ike is the only person besides my own mother that I can trust enough to stand beside always.
soooo, what happened to that waifuism closed community now that she doesn't like them anymore? is it lost forever? lmao

She sounds more unhinged than ever.

Holy shit, she just blamed a fentanyl overdose for her fucking Ike obsession. She came back good.
Also something on her home page still confuses me. Why the fuck does she have a mannequin? Where did she even get that
This caught my eye on her new website:
The funny thing about her leaving the waifu communities is that she's proven exactly why she belonged in there. Just because you have left the community doesn't make you better and/or less retarded, take that from me. She's only gone deeper into lunacy.
Also, the way she describes a "2Dist" (a term that she has, of course, made up herself), sounds exactly like the waifuists that she claims she's not. She's not a special case, at least, not in the way she thinks she is.

I'm willing to bet the reason she's flouncing from the community is that none of her waifu friends give a shit about her being black, which as we all know is 99.9% of her identity and personality. (The other 0.01% is being Ike's True and Honest Wife)
From the chat logs I've seen, Niqua seemed to be annoyed at anyone who expressed doubt or wasn't fully engaged in waifuism and treating their counterpart as a living being. Delusional as the waifuists are, past the writing and picture prompts, most of them do, on some level, acknowledge that they claim to be in a relationship with an inanimate object, or express a measure of uncertainty over whether their expressions of affection are reciprocated.
Niqua is more or less taking a step further into the lunatic abyss and saying her fictional counterpart is as real as the people living around us now. Which I do find a bit amusing, considering, if you thought they were real would you need to justify your relationship with them and their existence to random redditors in 3 month cycles? Would you hire a voice actor to voice your "husband", in your "tragic" fan fiction riddled with artificial conflict, self-pitying and indulgent attention seeking? Would you use your "SO" and frame them as a one-dimensional civil rights activist to ease your deeply rooted racial insecurities? Reality is, your "partner" is just a projection of your ideals and insecurities; just like Bill and Jill who joined r/waifuism 1 week ago. And you have no way of knowing for certain what your SO would be like individually, because they never were a person.
Just an assimilation of static text and images on a GameCube.

Niqua throws a fit and leaves forever because she thinks white people are on Reddit. Lovable schizo DRL gets targeted by professional conman Joshua Wise, but doesn't fall for it. All we need now is for Will from the Inbetweeners to get caught cheating on Matty with that one lady who thinks she's a tentacle, and we'll have the perfect pilot episode for an r/waifuist soap opera.

This bitch knows 1 joke.
What annoys me is her insistence on using the phrase "2Dist", just like r/waifuism insists on using "waifuist". Like, if any term will ever get mainstream respect - it's fictosexual or fictophiliac. "Waifuism" was a joke term that sprang up on 4chan AGES ago.
