weeaboos

Knopekin · Nov 13, 2015

People doing that are somewhere between 'annoying' and 'shallow', but are definitely not offensive or hurting anyone. The same way that a British person wouldn't be offended that someone foreign thought the UK was all about the royal family/Shakespeare/Doctor Who/whatever, I don't think that anybody Japanese would think a foreigner who loved anime and video games was insulting because they loved Japan based on their hobbies.

People can become obsessed with literally anything,Japan being one of them.I honestly understand why people's shallowness irritates you and you're right it's beyond annoying.The thing I find is ironic is that there are a lot of people who are obsessed with America or the UK and yet they are not being bashed to.I run various groups/blogs that are dedicated to Japan,and it's not all about Anime or manga to me.I have pictures up of the actual culture on those sites for people who usually like Japan for the right reasons (Tea ceremony,Kabuki,Art,Geisha,Maiko,Nature,History,Mythology etc)

It would be interesting to see if Japanese people find weeaboos annoying or if it's everyone else who gets insulted for them.

This blog is run by Japanese people http://thisisnotjapan.tumblr.com/post/39701055486/faq and there is a fine line. Not sure if you'll accept them, cause some members on this forum think people who are of ___ descent but aren't born there don't qualify as being part of that culture.

Idk I know Koreans get really annoyed at Koreaboos and any other culture gets annoyed when people disrespect them so...

oppa = older male (female address, close relationship)
unni = older female (female address, close relationship)
saranghae = i love you
hoobae = junior (vs. senior in school or work etc.)
dongsaeng = younger than you
kawaii = not even korean

That's so rude

Aestivate · Nov 13, 2015

Who is even able to take someone like that serious? If someone would write like that in my language I would just started laughing out loud.

Panazel Maria · Nov 13, 2015

I wouldn't consider myself a "weeaboo", for a few reasons:
-I don't watch anime.
-I don't take Japanese culture as the paragon of every culture. I do get exposed to it quite often though, so I'm familiarized with it.
-I don't try to force Japanese culture/things on others (the important point).

Now, I don't think I've met anyone I can actually put in the "weeaboo" category, as it's if they don't exist to me. If anything, I can only see a person being very bashful about their particular foreign interests. Maybe one, I don't know?

These are actual Japanese people, not Americans.

Wow. I'm part Korean and understand all of this and she sounds ridiculous. Like, she sounds pretty Koreaboo rn x3

crystalmilktea · Nov 14, 2015

it's so great LOL

Let's be real most people hate weeaboos not because they're offensive but because they're annoying cringeworthy and 12

Mayuu · Nov 14, 2015

I really don't think that you need to be insulted or offended on other people's behalf,people are strong enough to speak for themselves.

Kattastic · Nov 14, 2015

Oh, yeah, I've met weeaboos.
I think my school's drama department is overrun with them? I saw that one sophomore died & cut her hair to match a character from kill la kill. She and a few other sophomore and freshman girls will randomly come to school in cosplay sometimes. It's... Interesting.

Don't get me wrong, I've watched my fair share of anime, but I'm not over there trying to talk about how it's 'the best culture ever omg!!!1!1' and romanticize it.

There was also a senior girl last year (she graduated) who was the most entitled little bit. She brought Pokemon stuffed animals to school. I think the worst was when she joined the varsity cheerleading team (my school has a policy of letting seniors join whatever activities they want so they can boost their resumes and experience their senior year) and spent the whole season complaining about how we only played English music. Sorry, but I don't think anime openings would go over well at playoff half-time...

iamnothyper · Nov 14, 2015

the cringe-level on this is off the charts

visibleghost · Nov 14, 2015

lmao that's rly funny actually ;;
i don't really get why people cosplay at school but i guess they can do it if they want to lol

Mayuu · Nov 14, 2015

I have to admit that people like Venus angelic do get on my nerves,they give people who like Japan a bad reputation.They are not even famous for a good or legit reason,they seem quite narcissistic really.All they are only famous for slapping a bunch of make up on,speaking in an annoying high pitched voice and photo shopping their pictures.My post is a bit off topic I know, but we are talking about weeaboo's after all.

LanaDelNeigh · Nov 14, 2015

I think for them it's not so much about enjoying Japan & its culture respectfully as a person of another country, but actively professing that they're some kind of cultural expert/ninja/anime character irl. Now that's annoying as ****. And I freely admit that I love lowest common denominator Japanese culture.

In essence: Everyone is just pissed at their cultural appropriation. On top of that they do it badly.

Alienfish · Nov 14, 2015

wow that is just so ****ty it's not even fun... idk if to laugh or cry.
