    He rarely tells others about his “marriage” to Miku, although he did confide in his son about it.

    “He was like, ‘Oh, OK,’ and didn’t seem bothered in the least,” Shimoda said.

    That is the response of a young man who has been freed from any concerns about disappointing his father for the rest of his life. Dad found your ladybug mind control sissification vore hentai stash? Big deal, he married a phone. At least a Hitachi wand never accidentally picks up a facetime call at an inopportune moment.

    One thing left unanswered by the article: if you propose to a phone, are you supposed to buy it an expensive ringer?

      How’s that working out for him in light of this article?

        Lol. It’s you again. The “þ” person. I just checked my comments to make sure you were the same user. It’s hilarious to identify you by this character. Did you figure out what causes it?

    From what little I know of the way Japanese humour works, there’s a decent chance this is all just a bit. There was a guy in Japan who married a different kind of virtual girlfriend not that long before LLMs hit the mainstream, and I heard from a few different Japanese people that he was almost certainly doing it as a joke. Apparently Japanese humour is very, very deadpan and they love seeing people really commit to the bit.

    As Miku has no physical presence, the relationship is purely platonic.

    If someone isn’t already banging on that, I am pretty sure that they will be before long.

    Yeah.

    Legend has it that every new technology is first used for something related to sex or pornography. That seems to be the way of humankind.
