Miku’s Husband Tells People to Differentiate between Reality and Fiction

Miku's Husband Tells People to Differentiate between Reality and Fiction

Akihiko Kondo is famous among otakus for his marriage to Hatsune Miku. Yes, he is the man who decided to marry Miku after having terrible experiences with real women.

Recently, he made headlines again by sharing his opinion on underage fictional characters. On his Twitter profile, Akihiko Kondo said:

“I receive criticism for marrying Hatsune Miku, who is 16 years old. However, a fictional character who is 16 is not the same as a real person who is 16. I always say: ‘Hatsune Miku is a fictional character’. Please differentiate reality from fiction.”

You might find this hilarious coming from Akihiko Kondo, who married a fictional character. However, he married Miku precisely because he knows she is fictional and prefers not to deal with real women.

On the internet, many people take the age of fictional characters very seriously. Let’s see some of the responses Akihiko Kondo received:

  • “Miku has been 16 since 2007.”
  • “I can’t believe this conversation is happening.”
  • “There is a big problem among young people on the internet who can’t differentiate a fictional character from reality.”
  • “Well, Miku is 34 now…”
  • “Miku’s age was never exactly defined, she can be any age.”
  • “Distinguish between fiction and reality. My brother in Christ, please follow your own advice. You married a fictional character. This is dimensional fusion-level nonsense like Chris-Chan, if I’ve ever seen it.”

And here we have someone who didn’t get Akihiko Kondo’s point:

  • “Can we talk about the irony of this guy who married a fictional character telling people to differentiate reality from fiction?”

He received the following responses:

  • “It’s not irony, he considers himself fictosexual. It would be ironic if he actually believed she was a real person, but he doesn’t.”
  • “Where is the irony? He himself said she is fictional, he is aware.”
  • “The irony is that even someone who married a fictional character is more aware of differentiating reality from fiction, and half of Twitter can’t.”
