Why do people get offended when people use the term "weeaboo" to describe them? I saw it in one of my raid groups on WoW and the one who was called a weeaboo got angry and called the other a "self-righteous faggot", lol.

Like a nerd with maxed-out geek points. The pinnacle of dork. I think. Apparently. I'm new to animes, I don't know.

It's supposed to be someone who obsesses so much over Japanese culture and idealizes it to the point where they disregard their own culture and heritage. Usually their view of Japanese culture is skewed and they don't have a lot of actual knowledge.

Go to the introduction forum and look for any non-Japanese person who introduces themselves in Japanese, those are most likely weeaboos.

You sure she's a troll? idk man, normally I would say yes, but she's just a stupid teenage gurl, so I'm not fully convinced

I know a better troll because she has people to donate for her/gets paid for it. She plays Reague of Regends tho.

Nobody wants to be weeaboo... everyo.. most of us wants to be "normal" so we wouldn't need to deal with that "unwanted attention".

Most people want to be related to and liked, not ostracized and treated like a reject--which will certainly be the result of acting in stereotypical "weeaboo" fashion. It's mostly just a matter of lack of self-awareness and social skills. If you have both of those you can usually get along with anyone regardless of your interests.

Why is it an insult ?

- Because it is used in a way to look down on someone. Do you really think that would be nice ?

Even though he/she/it does overreact, it still is an insult. But you have to learn that you should never take everything in the internet seriously.

Both maybe?

Weeaboos tend to be obnoxious to the point that they won't even see the middle ground of both Japanese and their culture alike and those who make fun of weeaboos, let's just say they're intolerant to some degree.

But hell, we all have a little weeb in us unless we openly hate Japan and its culture, lol. Besides, the term's misused a great 90% of the time, nothing to get all riled up over.

95% of the time I hear the word weeaboo used its used incorrectly.

If u like anime/manga that doesn't make you a weeaboo

Thats like saying people who like Hiphop/Rap are blackaboo or people who like American comics and western movies are white wannabes

I've only met like 2 legit weeaboos irl and they are OP annoying.

objective observations =/= insults. in fact, them making a big deal of is only further proof that they're a weeab.

Well, the general consensus from what I've seen is that "weeaboo" is an insult and if the majority of the people who use the word see it as an insult then it is an insult, that is just how language works.
