Virtual Love

I just watched a video on a news site of a Japanese man marrying a virtual character from an Nintendo DS game. The commentary said that it was actually a type of performance art for a man who was not ashamed to say he was hooked on a game such as this. I am wondering now if you(aka other people) would approve a wedding like this. Is this a kind of love?

Hello Reyk welcome to mylot No this is not love at all, just a game, how can one marry a virtual character? but relationships via the internet is possible, i know many such persons, some got married, some ended in stress, i call this virtual world as 'WORLD OF ILLUSION', all that glitters is certainly not gold lol. Thank you so much for sharing the story. Professor ‘Bhuwan’. . Cheers have a lucky day ahead. God bless you.

ahah i never heard something so weird in my lifee ahah is that man crazy? ahah he married a character of the game? ahah maybe im misunderstanding was this just a marriage in the game or was it approved in reality? this is too strange. did he marry that character in reality? i dont think so was it? ahah if he did that i guess he should find someone that can show care and love to him instead of a character that is not alive. poor man :(

personally, i dont think that is marriage. marriage is defined as to people loving eachother and wanting to spend the rest of their lives together, not a machine made virtual person that there is no connection to at all. you cant marry an object. who ever this person is, either needs to find a good girl for him, and love that girl, or go get professional help.

Love is a kind of feeling that reciprocates.There is always a character in our dream with whom we love to fall in love,and we always look for a match with people we meet.The Japanese man may have found a match like that in Nintendo.But,you know,all these virtual things are height of insanity.I don't think things will really work in this way.And this is not normal,rather psychic.

That is a bit weird to me. If it is only art/game it is okay but not if he thinks he loves the virtual woman. He should find a live woman to marry.
