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.

Japanese YouTube is pretty wild. It’s even better not knowing what’s exactly going on.

    There was a recent video I saw explaining some Japanese memes (like how a guy ranting on a train got turned into a game) but I can’t find it rn–I’ll check again later

I can see a die hard macho culture lover doing this as a joke
