Would you be considered an "Honorary Japanese" if you could talk to your favorite characters, or would they think you're a lowly weeb?

Answers would very depending on which I talk to.

See me as Honorary Japanese:
Kiwi
Kyouko
Nazuna
Saaya

Weeb:
Ayaka
Ryouko

The rest of them aren't even Japanese themselves. Too much effort to do extended.

Only one of my favorite characters is ethnically japanese and NO, i do not believe they would view me as an Honorary Japanese. It's illogical and dumb.

No, it's not illogical or dumb. It tells you whether they regard you highly or not.

And, everyone who feels like they belong more to the culture of somewhere else than their native culture is honorary.

It's a personal truth. Personal truths aren't dumb.

If you wish to treat this incident as our nation’s scheme, that is fine by me. History is written by the victors. All of your false accusations will soon be erased.

@IpreferEcchi Personal truths are just subjective beliefs, these fictional characters wouldn't regard any of us as an honorary anything let alone from a certain ethnicity or nationality, i believe that these characters would just go about their day as usual without giving any of us consideration or time of day.
They wouldn't know or care who you are.

Only gaijins who contributed something truly honorable to the Japanese nation can ever be considered "Honorary Japanese"

So, not me.
No, this isn't my signature~desu.

My favorite character is Czech/German + any other of my favorite japanese characters probably wouldn't see me as a Honorary Japanese, as I don't relate to this term at all.

@tchitchouan If your own favorite characters wouldn't care about you, then you didn't pick good characters.

I always pick characters who would bond with me over shared beliefs, activities, predicaments, or lifestyles.

I do NOT treat anime as entertainment. It's an extension of my being, and only like characters that I think are compatible with me.

@IpreferEcchi
I do not pick characters based on shared beliefs, activities, predicaments, or lifestyles. I pick them based on how much i'm sexually attracted to them and whether they proudly wear bikini armors and flaunt their beautiful female bodies proudly and their overall importance to the history fantasy ecchi anime.

In that regard none of the characters in my favs would care about me (maybe only except Lipumira just because she wants good for all humanity). As for me i don't care whether they liked me or not, as i consider myself a distant literary 3rd person observer only there to watch and not involve myself personally.

I treat anime same as i do to video games and other visual media, meaning as a form of extravagant escapism and an inexhaustible source of nudity and pornography. Anime is as important as the content it carries and my personal perception of value i get from it, thus characters can love or hate me all they want for all i care, i'm only interested in their looks, physique, fashion and nudity and not their personality, feelings, emotions or compatibility with me.
