| As recent, there are some topics going on about "weeb". So, question is- what kind of title weeb actually is? I personally think weeb as an insult. I don't know maybe I am the only one who thinks like that. |
Talent is something to nurture, and wisdom is something to hone  |
| Didn't it originate from anime fans trying to accumulate the insult weeaboo into the moniker weeb as a way to mock the haters and embrace the predominant "anime is trash and so am I" mentality of the 2010? |
 |
| It sounds a little bit offensive imo. |
 |
| Just like I'm told on previous forum the word sound "Weeb" is akin to "Dweeb" so yes that's a offensive. |
| Depending on how it's said, "Ew, you're such a weeb" or "Oh my god, we're such weebs". |

| Absolutely an insult. Western Otaku is acceptable and from personal experience, the Japanese recognize western Otaku to be different than Japanese Otaku. |

| It's just a silly adjective to describe an anime fan. |

| @Solacev Originated on 4chan in the early to mid 2000s with the term Wapanese, as a way to insult someone for "wanting to become a Japanese person" then this comic had the word "weaboo" in it, and 4chan decided that sounded more catchy I guess? and adopted that instead. |

| @Solacev No Problem!~~~~~~~~~~~~ |
| I don't see how being obsessive over japanese cartoons can be a badge of honor and I say this as someone who has watched hundreds of them. |

| I said in the other thread that I identify as a "Japanimation Connoisseur" or "JC" for short. I am not a weeb/weeaboo/wapanese/otaku/etc... |

| i think the whole 2015-2016 trend of hating on "weebs" is gone and in hindsight it was so cringe lol i dont think ive heard the word weeb in years. Plus even back then it means the extreme degenerates that consider themselves to be japanese because they watch a lot of anime and can understand some hiragana. No, believe it or not 90% of the people on this website don't fit the definition of weeb it doesnt really mean anything anymore |
I guess it can be a honorable title, unless it makes your real life worse. It's a matter of self-perception. |
| Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. |
| I'm barely using weeb as a term, but if I use it, it's not because I want to honor or insult someone. I'm just trying to make a fact. |
| Weeb is both an honor and an insult, everyone can interpret it in the way they like. |
This dance is the pinnacle of human achievement. |
| Only anime fans can use that word. If you are a non-anime fan and uses the "W" word then you're just a bigot. |
 |
| Weeb is a lot like being sub five. It is a status. Being insulted over a status is silly imo. I wear my weeb status with pride though. |
 |
| It's definitely a term with negative connotation. It wouldn't be an overexaggeration to say it's a pejorative word. |

| semantic change is a thing so weeb will become an honor someday |
| I don't care if someone calls me a weeb or not...because I do not take anime that seriously. |
| Pretty sure its meant as an insult, but anyone who is actually offended by it, deserves to be mad for being that insecure. |
| not sure what it actually is but I definitely would take it as an insult |
 |
| It's a braindead insult invented by people who don't know what it means to have hobbies and passions. And a nice filter word too. You can immediately know that you're dealing with an idiot if someone is using it. |
| Dub = fake crap. Always. |
| I see it as simply a label to identify someone who likes and regularly consumes anime/manga. I think the original meaning has been lost over time. |
