Guys. The anime convention wasn't all that and. We got drunk and went to an underrated pony panel.

I personally don't watch anime or read manga but there's no problem in liking or loving something. It's when that love becomes obsession that it becomes annoying and/or a problem.
There's a world of difference between fan and fanboy, just as there is between an anime fan and a Japanophile.

i dont want to deter you from going to a convention! they are definitely something you should experience if you like anime and stuff! conventions are for the most part safe cause of the amount of people. as Mayuu said, there will always be creeps but they are mostly harmless and just hopelessly awkward and... creepy. lol.
i think the maid thing could be fun! i went to a maid cafe in a convention before and it seemed pretty tame. my table was probably the rowdiest cause we made 3 of the butlers dance for us haha, but once again i think your surroundings are pretty safe. rest assured the amount of normal people far outweighs the creeps xD

Why does it matter so much to all of you ? There are going to be a lot of people you will come across in life, that are into things far worse than Japan.Isn't it better to like something (even if it is too much) rather than to be one of those people who constantly hates everything ? For some people, liking something a bit too much makes up for the loneliness and isolation they feel.

I had never heard of weeaboo before this page. Weird. Sounds like what we used to call otakus in my high school. Those were the weird kids who wore Naruto headbands and ran the Naruto way to classes, and added random Japanese in their sentences.

I do partially agree with you, I think at least their fascination and interest is targeted towards something very positive, and there is so much depth to Japanese culture and Japan as a country that it is certainly very interesting to learn about, but weeaboos only see Japan as being this amazing world full of anime and manga and videogames. There is nothing wrong with liking any of those things, in fact I do enjoy them too, but they can be very disrespectful towards Japanese people by glorifying the country for these things and becoming obsessive with it. If these people are so obsessed with Japan like they say they are, surely they should show a little bit more respect to the people by choosing to learn a bit more about the country and being able to appreciate it in other ways rather than just assuming all Japanese people live lives like in anime or manga. I don't know, that's sort of the way that I do see it. I think people do tend to exaggerate it a bit at times... For example, my Japanese teacher who originally lived in Japan, she doesn't mind that people do enjoy anime, manga, and videogames, and that people like Japan for these reasons, but I am sure she'd probably find it disrespectful if people started behaving in an obsessive way like weeaboos do. And from another perspective, I know that there are lots of people from other countries too who are obsessed with Britain and "British accents" and assume that we're all posh and enjoy tea parties and are often too polite for our own good - some of those stereotypes are true, but there is a lot Britain than that lmao, it just feels a little bit shallow and like they are just basing our country off of stereotypes and judgments, which is a normal thing to do I think, it's so quick to judge something just based on what you see and how it's portrayed in the media and so on, but we have to realise that these are just very shallow judgments and they can be insulting to people sometimes.
I agree, it's better that weeaboos target their energy onto something like Japan and Japanese culture... It's better to have a burning passion for something than to be a person who is so negative about everything (eg: people who say "I hate everyone"... seriously???), but again, there are extremes on BOTH sides of the spectrum, so you can't always compare them.

My best friend is Chinese (actually FROM China), and her Japanese was really good. We were having a Japanese conversation one day at PE and she told me she learned Japanese from anime.
