weeaboos

[Izzy Reincarnated]

I wonder how Japanese people feel about other who watch anime.
Like you know how here in the US, we got cartoons and when you talk about them people are like "omg you still watch cartoons?"
I wonder how it feels to know someone in Japan and they're like have you seen that anime last night and you're like "omg no"
Or if there's someone in your class and they try to sound like a character from a anime(those voice actors have to go to school) and you're like omg, shut up. I wonder if that's like everyday life there lol.

Homestuck fans are sht. The story is so shtty right now but people are more interested in a cranky troll and some wannabe cool guy getting together than some dude who's slowly dying in a refrigerator.

cartoons are way bigger in Japan than they are in the US, so being told, "omg, you still watch cartoons?", its not like that. adults watch cartoons too

Nope xD I don't think I've ever been a weeaboo. I've never once thought everything about Japan was perfect/etc since I've never been to Japan, but I do WANT to go to Japan, since I'm taking Japanese in college and I want to know more about the culture. XD

As for meeting a weeaboo, I may have, but I can't recall hahaha.
Also conventions are super fun! You shouldn't worry about who's there or who's not, there's normally a mob of people there and it's not like 100% of the attendees that attend are weeaboos. Personally I don't think it should stop you from going to a convention, but if you really want to avoid weeaboos at all cost, then I guess keep doing what you're doing. xD

 

[mogyay]

wait so ppl are self proclaimed weeaboos?? i thought it was an insult but i just went on a certain thread on the front page of here and saw someone identity as one

 

[Alienfish]

horrid **** mate.

i can admit i was really into visual kei and manga at one point during late middle school but that's it lel.

 

[jiny]

how can you not like japanese food omg?

i gotta admit i dont really know what one is, is it just someone obsessed with japan or something?

Isn't it someone who loves anime and obsessed with it? I wouldn't say I am one, since I don't even watch anime. I just say I do so people will like me. Since the majority of people here watch anime.

it's not really about anime.
also lying about liking anime to be popular is really weird, no offence but i think people can like you without thinking you like anime

Nope xD I wouldn't say it's someone who likes/obsessed with anime. I'm just going to copy and paste this here:

"Weeaboo (a.k.a Wapanese) is an English slang used to describe a person (typically of non-Asian descent) who prefers Japan and all things in Japanese over one’s indigenous culture. The term is a successive mutation of “Wapanese,” a derogatory slur referring to western Japanophiles with a strong bias towards Japanese cultural and tech imports."

Pretty much a weeaboo is someone who thinks Japan is perfect without having been there. They also tend to like to use words such as "Kawaii", "Sugoi", "Neko", frequently in almost all of their sentences. For example: YOU ARE SO KAWAII!!!

They also tend to curse how they aren't Japanese and hates everything that isn't related to Japan. xD

The only animes I scatterly watch would be off Adult Swim and everything was complete random.
I wasn't hype up to see a NARUTO episode but mostly because hey it was on and I had nothing else to watch and mid-way through I would go to sleep cause anime night for adult swim was like around 1-2 in the morning and at that time I was young and you know your parents will come in and be like you still up!?

I think the only anime I've ever really liked and watch episodes of was Keroro Gunso/Sgt frog(even watch a few movies), but overall I kinda hate it now(mostly cause giroro was lusting over a 13 year old girl).

i had a weeaboo friend back in gr 6.. i liked her though, and she introduced me to anime/manga & dir en grey which i still enjoy.
haven't talked to her since though so idk about now, but she wasn't an annoying person in my memories.
she was also a gory person who was really into heavy metal and rock in general.

i guess i haven't met anyone since who is obsessed with japan. .-.
i did have a friend who would have lots of anime ost on their phone and sing in the middle of the class as well randomly start speaking/commenting about things in japanese, however she wasn't that annoying to me either. //shrug

I watch anime here and there, I enjoy reading manga, and I'm in the long drawn out process of trying to learn the language, but it's only like a fraction of my interests. I don't get how people let it consume them (like people who watch only anime how do u that?) I just hate when people romanticize another culture especially all while neglecting to appreciate their own.

I'm sure everyone's encountered weebs because this site has a bunch

she's just practicing her japanese, nothing wrong with that

Weebs are gross and they actually scare me.

"Hiya~!
I'm Lani, and I love basically everything about Japan. (Apart from the food *shudders*) I enjoy, art, reading, writing and other crap ^.^
Oh, and I'm weird. XD"

i mean ok then whatever u say

Lmaooo
Want an actual definition?

here you go smartass

 

[Esphas]

im still heavily into manga and anime even though i dont indulge myself in it as much as i used to. i think the difference between myself and people who are weeaboos is that i dont shove it into peoples faces and act like i was born in japan lmao. i understand that the language is pretty but when you barely understand the language yet use stray japanese words in an every day english conversation it can get kind of irritating. but whatever floats your boat though i guess? its cool to be unique

*currently im actually more into western cartoons than anime, not that i dont love both

 

[himeki]

cartoons are way bigger in Japan than they are in the US, so being told, "omg, you still watch cartoons?", its not like that. adults watch cartoons too

Yes they do! A lot of them are made for adults, like Archer, South Park, Family Guy to name a few!


I actually think I used to be a weeaboo ;v; As a kid, I always believed I would go to Japan, work for an anime studio, live in a traditional house, and looking back I was stupid.

As for me now, there is actually quite a bit of Japan I dislike, the main one being how women are expected to be. The language, yes, I am studying through online courses, and I admit to learning a few words through anime! Another point of weebola, is that they believe anime has flaws, and yes, they do! Even my favourite anime, Kill la Kill, has so many cliches!

I now would like to travel to Japan in the future, and it is a personal goal, but I am pretty happy with my life as it is c:

 

[Acruoxil]

I've never met a weeaboo in my life, I don't really know any people in person who watch Anime as a hobby. Maybe once in a while, yeah sure.

On the internet, though I've met a lot of people obsessed with Anime and the Japanese culture. I don't mind the Japanese culture, it just really really gets on my nerves when people overuse Japanese terms like kawaii and talk about it all the time. I've watched some Anime and layed JRPGs but I dn't know jack about the Japanese culture. And thtat goes for a lot of people obsessed with Anime or Mangas or whatever out there so please stop assuming you're integrated into their culture.

Well, if you think your so smart, then you should know that Urban Dictionary is submitted by people, and people have different views.

Oh that's urban dictionary which doesn't have really proper definitions

 

[Oldcatlady]

Soo according to the definition:

Most weaboos are uneducated about their obsession of choice and are often noobs who are overly zealous, trying to impress others with their otaku knowledge. Another trait of a weaboo is their desire to "be Japanese".

^ i think i dont know them well enough since we only talked to each other during school and never actually hung out, neither do i know enough about japan to judge if they know what they're talking about. Plus idc if they have more otaku knowledge than me so never really paid attention.

i'm just going to say that i've never met one. xD
I dont think that ive met any on here either..



Well, since there are so many different opinions on the true definition of a weeaboo, now im not even sure what it means.
