| Why isn't it called Japanboo? Or Animeboo? What does the WEA and BOO stand for? |
| "In its original context, the word “weeaboo” doesn’t signify anything but something undesirable and deserving punishment." |

| Weeaboo; someone who, as a result of cultural affection, obsesses over Japan to the extent that they acquire goods from Japan, eat Japanese food very often, try to learn the language and/or plan vacations to Japan. Norweeaboo; Japanese people who've seen Frozen, and immediately booked a flight to Norway. Is there something bad about these things? Not really, everyone has locations they idealize irrationally, yours is just because of being affected by foreign culture and media. It's worse to idealize one's own country. (Because in doing so, you indirectly idealize yourself) |

NoblePhantaZm said: There really isn't a term I'm aware of besides Weeaboo. The origins might not match everyone it is applied to, but it still means pretty much the same thing applied to someone else. Personally, I say just don't stress yourself out about it too much. As long as you're not doing anything harmful or outrageously offensive to a culture, then who cares? Just enjoy yourself. Most Mature comment I've read yet. |

I've bought clothes from there online because I like them Well just one item on the list wouldn't be enough, unless you tried to only get clothes from Japan whenever possible, and for irrational reasons. |

| Stop the sequels high-ranking stupidity. Group franchises in Top Anime page. Because Gintama is just "one" anime and not 5. |
| What i understand it's called Wapanese (Want to be Japanese) -- term to a person who prefer japan than any other countries and think that everything come from japan are superior than the other. Actually wapanese/weaboo doesn't necessary an anime fans although most of them are an anime fans. |
Reality is the lifeblood that makes a work pulse with energy. Reality itself is entertainment  |

| Nothing, I think 4chan created it, and that place is just all sorts of scum. |
 |
| @retrogamer32x, anime/manga is more influenced by chinese stuff imo. I never thought of much western influence in anything I've watched or read, by western I mean the US. |

Nihonphile. "Japan" doesn't exist in Japan. Every good Nihonphile knows that. |
