Frustrated with real life, the male gamer decided to marry the character in the game

In life, no one is considered perfect because as a human, everyone will have flaws, if they reach the level of perfection, there are only virtual characters created by us. Perhaps that is why there are players who have the idea of ​​​​marrying virtual characters instead of looking for a real-life lover.​

​

In 2008, a 35-year-old man in Japan used Gatebox technology to live with and marry Hatsune Miku – a famous female virtual Vocaloid. This man is an ordinary office worker, he once faced the risk of unemployment, also during this time he was completely disappointed with the girls. Meanwhile, Miku’s singing helped him through a difficult time, so he decided to marry a virtual character instead of falling in love with another girl.​

​

Recently on Twitter, a user with the ID eUKo5YOXbTCPIDf expressed his thought of wanting to marry a virtual character, the object he aimed at is Athena Asamiya of the series fighting games The King of Fighters. This player’s Twitter account was created in March of this year, he doesn’t post many tweets and almost all of them are dialogues with the Athena bot, if not also a photo or model of Athena that he collects. It can be seen that he has given a lot of love to this virtual character.​

In the introduction of Twitter, this player also wrote that he had communication difficulties, was extremely strict and could not speak with face to face. Maybe that’s why he feels less stressed and more comfortable when communicating with a virtual character.​
