Is a deck with female monsters by default a Waifu deck?

[Merilirem]

Because if true that means all male monster decks are Husbando decks.

Unfortunately in the realm of media, attractive women or things revolving around women (whether they be the SAME outfit for males in MMOs, cards that involve cute/attractive females, fan service aesthetics etc.) have proven to be more expensive due to that alone. It is called the 'Waifu Tax' and it is 100% real.

I remember playing an old MMO where they literally charged you for the ability to change a characters gender once out of the myriad of characters you are able to use. And as someone who has played female characters in MMOs their outfits are often at least twice if not three times as expensive for technically the same thing.

But back on topic what ranges as a 'waifu' deck would be, as Papa Shekels has pointed out, cards where one of the major appeals of the deck would be the focus centered around aestheticly pleasing women or the deck centered around one in particular. There's really no formula to determine what does and what doesn't count other than one's personal preference revolving around the inclusion of said aesthetic and even then there are players who play the deck who may even be opposed to it but enjoy the deck regardless.

Not all women are waifus but every woman can be a waifu to someone.

For me, it's a waifu deck if the pilot finds themselves looking at the cards and thinks they are attractive. The types of people who have a body pillow of DMG are degenerate, but that doesn't mean DMG is any more or less of a valid card for anyone to use. I play Traptrix because I needed something "simple" to play when I came back, and always enjoyed playing around with trap cards when I was younger. Other people play them because they are attracted to humanised predatory insects and plants. We are not the same.

I can also guarantee you, Eldlich in particular is definitely a husbando deck to someone.

He's more of a daddy than a husbando if you ask me, but the principle is the same.

There is no real distinction between the two. Husbando is typically just the male equivalent for waifu. The term Daddy would be an additional typing, like spirit or Pendulum.

I hate the terms, they both imply an over-sexualization of the characters involved, usually in the form of skimpy outfits and careful (even artificial) body-sculpting. Since I consider looks to be the least important factor in attraction, it always comes off as shallow and vapid fan-service. I do my best to ignore it altogether.

That intent to portray a character in a suggestive or sexualized manner is the dividing line. There's been many archetypes that don't cross it, though they're getting fewer and fewer these days.

That's like saying I consider sugar to be the least important thing in ice cream

Which is also true. Sugar is a filler, and too much of it eclipses the actual flavor of whatever it's in. Anyone that's had GOOD icecream knows exactly what I'm talking about. It's a component, but not even close to the most important thing.

That is both extremely sad and a fast way to get dumped, in my experience. When you're only concerned with the shallow features, you get shallow relationships that don't last. There do be more to love than hormone rushes.

You all make valid points. So what deck isn't either? What archetype is neither Husbando or Waifu? Keep in mind a deck can definitely be both unless you think 50/50 cancels itself out.

I don't think you realize just how many edgy dragons are in this game aslkdjaghaksdkj There's also robots and cute animals. Stuff like Floo, Altergeist, Galaxy Eyes, etc.
