Akihiko Kondothe Japanese man who became famous for “marrying” the virtual singer Hatsune Miku, shared an update on Twitter that reignited debate about the nature of their relationship. Kondo wrote:

• «I am criticized for marrying Hatsune Miku, who is 16 years old. However, a 16-year-old fictional character is not the same as a real 16-year-old person. I always say, 'Hatsune Miku is a fictional character.' Please distinguish between reality and fiction.».

Kondo's post sparked a wave of reactions on social media, with many users expressing their support and understanding of her point of view. Some comments reflect deep empathy for the distinction Kondo is trying to make.”Incredibly based“commented one user, while another added:”There is a big problem with young people on the internet who cannot differentiate between fictional characters and reality.“.

Kondo has been the target of criticism and ridicule since announcing his marriage to Hatsune Miku, a virtual character who, according to fiction, is 16 years old. However, Kondo and many of her followers argue that Miku's age, being a fictional character, is a flexible concept.She is 16 years old since 2007“said one user, while another commented:”Miku doesn't have a static age like other fictional characters. She can be any age you want.“.

The irony of the situation was not lost on some critics.Can we talk about the irony of the guy who married a fictional character saying he can distinguish fiction from reality?“wrote one commentator. Others, however, see Kondo’s position as a valid and necessary defense.”Thank you! I have 1000 times more respect and love for you. That's exactly what I've been saying! People don't know how to distinguish between reality and fiction“, said a follower.

The conversation also addressed deeper themes about the perception of fictional characters and their relationship to reality.”Dishonest people who disagree are admitting that they view obscene cartoons the same way they view their neighbors' children.“argued one user, defending Kondo’s position.

Despite the criticism, Kondo continues to have the support of a community that understands and respects his relationship with Miku. “These critics are jealous because Miku brings happiness they could never understand.“commented a follower.

Ultimately, Kondo's update reignited debate about the nature of fictional relationships and their impact on social perception. For many, its message is clear: it is crucial to distinguish between fiction and reality and to respect the ways in which people choose to find happiness and fulfillment in their lives.
