This is something I seriously want people's opinions on. I saw a post of a random weeb talking about his pillow waifu (probably used or something) on the MangaDex forums and just sitting there hugging her. The first comment I see is "Idk this makes me uncomfortable"
I can't tell you how much it pissed me off. Someone in my eyes doing something so fucking cool as showing off his waifu and hugging her can INSTANTLY be associated with Emilia. It makes me sick. And then we call out weebs when they don't want to support the industry?
I love moe. I love listening to them, I love escaping reality with them, I love protecting their smiles, I love watching them grow. How does someone see that and think "Well then you must love Emilia too"
How fucking disturbed are you as a person for your mind to take that route? In that post the weeb wasn't talking about Emilia, confessing his love to her or doing some other creepy ass shit. How is having a body pillow instantly associated with Emilia?
We desperately need to change this attitude, because the people protecting smiles and making our waifus feel comfortable are being shamed and wrongfully accused of loving Emilia.
By all means, at all times be wary. But don't just jump to Emilia. That is fucked up and we need to change that mindset.
