Congrats! You haven't taken your love for japan to far! No need to fear, you can keep reading manga and watching anime now.

I call my friends weebs, they call me a weeb, but we're not really weebs when you compare us to "a real weeb". We aren't obsessed with anime, manga, Japanese culture, etc...

I have a friend who went to Japan and basically she's the biggest weeb of all of us (and even then, she's still not that big of a weeb) but she said it's a good idea to go, just as long as you don't only go for anime since there's a lot more to Japan than that.

I mean, I have wall scrolls, I cosplay, I quote anime (in the english translation of course), I'm learning Japanese (because I'm a language freak), I have figurines, I go to conventions, but I don't really think it's enough for me to be called a 'weeb'.

I've been to AnimeNEXT in New Jersey, Liberty City Anime Con in NY, and New York Comic Con, but I like conventions for the merch and meeting people, but also cosplay. I don't really go just for anime and just to show off that I can say a few things in Japanese or prove that I know more about anime or Japan than some other people.
 
oppa is not like senpai. sunbae/sunbaenim would be more equivalent to senpai. oppa is something a girl calls an older male. could be your brother, could be someone unrelated to you. but i also don't think a girl would necessarily call any older guy "oppa" so i'm not sure about the underlying connotations of the word.

no, but those weebs posting without thinking would probably think it's around the same meaning.. especially if you look into animes and games.

ok but i was just saying what it really means not what weebs think it means.

yeah exactly, but that weeb post were obviously referring to it as oppa=senpai meaning cause they don't know better, even if it's not that in real life language.

but i'm replying to that person who asked what oppa was, so i gave them a real definition of it, rather than telling them the wrong "weeb" definition. i don't really care what weebs think it means because that's irrelevant.

actually you know what, i reread that yahoo post and they're using it as oppa should be used. not as senpai (they even used the word sunbae) so idk what you mean

ah. well i thought they were referring to the text itself and whoever weeb actually there referred to it as senpai and not the real def. also not really irrelevant but whatever.
 
I know a handful of people who are interested in various parts of the japanese culture, none of them try to speak japanese casually though. I guess they aren't really 'weeaboos' then? IDK, I often hear that term online but it's never used here.

Don't think I would get annoyed by someone being extremely into something, as long as it stays appropiate.

(Urban Dictionary seems to be very bitter about this topic.)

if you're talking about the yahoo answer, it doesn't sound like oppa was used as senpai because there's not really the equivalent for oppa in japanese?? unless someone can correct me. oppa can just mean older brother (which oniisan/chan would be, but it's still different because i doubt you'd use that for a male you have romantic feelings for, which you can with oppa lmao)

Looked like that to me at least cause whoever made that yahoo thing obviously mixed korean and japanese to no end. and i was talking about them using senpai/oppa as a weeb expression for someone they presumably love a lot and not only using oppa for anyone.

they are mixing korean and japanese, but that doesn't mean they're using oppa incorrectly or as senpai. they're just using it as a term of...endearment for someone they have feelings for. doesn't make it any less cringe, but it's not wrong necessarily.

makes sense as well but their post style made me think they would use it that way. and yeah still cringy af.
