So I've been seeing this thing on youtube where people call themselves anime characters and role play it out in the comments for a while now. Some examples just in case you haven't seen it:



How do you guys feel about this? Honestly I'm surprised that people will actually play along instead of ridiculing them like the weebs they are. Is this supposed to be a fun thing or am I right to hate it?

Annoys the hell out of me, cuz these comments are at every single video about anything related to anime. I'd be okay with it, but most of the people do a terrible job at "roleplaying". I just ignore youtube comments, its better that way.

If you find videos about HxH, you will find half-dozen of Gons, 20 Killuas and an infinite amount of Neferpitous.

I really don't care if they want to roleplay, sometimes their comments are funny, but they are usually pointless.

I don't particularly hate it because there is typically only one of each character that attempts to do this instead of multiple users. Plus, I hardly ever see it.

I still read it for the lolz
HOW TO SAVE ANIME IN THREE SIMPLE STEPS

  1. To have Mars of Destruction, Skelter Heaven, and Pupa properly adapted in TV series form by Madhouse
  2. To have Inferno Cop properly adapted in TV series form by Bones, director: Urobuchi Gen
  3. An anime crossover of Mushishi x ARIA x Haibane Renmei.


Should even one of the above conditions cannot be done, anime is still at risk.

I think its pretty fun when people role-play as someone else, it makes everything more comedic and interesting.

Some of them are funny, but I find it odd most of the time. Well I guess I see it this way since it is something I wouldn't normally do. However, ridiculing them for it seems a little bit mean to me. As long as it makes them happy and is not hurting anyone, then this kind of behavior is fine with me. Though I'm fully aware that this is not something healthy and it's a way to escape reality.

this isn't uncommon. There are a ton of websites dedicated to non sexual role playing. I don't go on them cause I'm not a fucking weeaboo

I don't get how roleplaying = weeaboo? As a retired roleplayer, I can say for certain that its not as unusual as some of you guys are making it out to be. Roleplaying goes so much further than anime and branches out into almost every entertainment medium. Really, roleplaying isn't much different than writing a story.. but now you have 1+ people helping you make that story. I feel people are using the term weeaboo much more often then it actually should be used and are just using the word because they see others do the same.

I was using the term ironically, it was a joke

Oh, no. This isn't the first time I've seen roleplayers called weaboos, no-lives, cringe worthy. The funny thing is, roleplaying takes up less time than watching an actual anime episode depending how often you contribute to the actual roleplay.

I've noticed some Instagram accounts do this as well. I don't really understand the point of it but if that's what they like doing they can go hog wild.
