I enjoy learning about japanese culture and I occasionally watch anime, though I wouldn't say that I'm obsessed with JP culture to the point to call myself a weeb.

In fact, I love learning about lots of cultures.

I also think that the term "weeb" has started to be used as more of an insult on the internet these days, and people shouldn't take offence if somebody calls you a weeaboo. Calling somebody a name which means they like x culture isn't derogatory. If you're insulted when somebody calls you a weeaboo then you should really contemplate using the internet if you're that easily offended.
 
I think people who are obsessed with Japan are nearly as hilarious as people (mostly Americans, sorry guys) who are obsessed with England because they watched Sherlock or Downton Abbey and think that it's so sophisticated and cultured when really it's mostly just chavs hanging outside Greggs.

Japan is also weeaboo for France. Man, they love France. There's literally a disorder for when Japanese people have a highly-idealised idea of France and then actually go there, realise it's a bit rubbish and can't handle it.

Yes because they think Japan is #1 without knowing anything about much about Japan. They also think they know the culture from anime too, and they always talk about anime or just Japan soo much and how they wished to live there becuse of anime

is that not annoying

Wow, they seriously think like that? o.o"
I would love to go to Japan and would like to learn about the culture too since I really don't know anything, but jeez, these weeaboo's sound more like fakes if they don't really know what they're talking about. I mean it's not wrong that you can't learn a bit from anime but like, you definitely cannot become an expert on Japan and it's culture from solely watching anime. If there are people that act like that though, that would be very annoying. >.<
 
I've been called a weeaboo because my name is Aki, which is hilarious because it's my actual name.
 
I really like that a thread on weebs turned into a debate on cultural appropriation.

On topic, I went to an anime convention and realized how normal I am. So I'd like to personally thank weebs.

wow you went far back.

the first time i went to an anime convention i was dressed up and holding one of those tofu plushies. random guy comes out of nowhere (a grown adult mind you, and i was like 14 at the time) with this rat looking doll and starts making his rat "nom" my tofu plushie. sound affects and all. he just kept doing this for a good few minutes with me standing there awkwardly like wtf before finally walking away. no words were exchanged.

never did i dress up again. ever.

I think I would've cried if that happened to me. Crying because I'm afraid and also wtf.
 
i went to fanime during the summer (which was my first time at an anime convention) and i saw like 20 kaneki kens and a bunch of white girls dressed as characters from kuroko no basket

it was boring and most people who cosplayed didn't look v good. probably won't go again.
 
weeaboo means a disgrace and japanese people hates it with a passion
you can't say you 'idolize Japan' and everything about it then go stand by something they hate like it's something to be proud about
just go by anime trash

if you're going for cosplay you really gotta go to the big ones. thats where the more serious cosplayers go. they drop good money and time on their stuff *~*

yeahhh i don't cosplay! i just wanted to check it out because the center it's held in is in walking distance from my university and i'd never been before so it's a shame it was pretty disappointing.
