| We already look bad, pretty sure it doesn't make a difference. |
 |
| any overly fanatic things is bad in my eyes... |

| Weeaboos are tolerable. Otakus suck really hard so you should divert your precious attention to them instead. |

| Let them be, lol. Who cares anyway? It's their own life. |
| weaboos r just people who enjoy the Japanese Animation fandom right?? theres nothing wrong about enjoying another culture. its like trying to deny we live in a multicultural world |
 |
| I have no thoughts on them since I am one. We are cringy and proud tbh. |
 |
| Weeaboos are people who literally worship Japanese culture, usually they are foreign and not Japanese, so it's kind of an unorthodox attachment to some people. I don't see the problem with loving Japanese culture as I respect it highly, but some people definitely take things far. But you will always have radical people who go nuts about anything and everything. It is what it is man. |
  |
| It's none of my business tbh. I don't give a shit about the image of anime watchers and if a person gets the wrong idea about me based on stereotype I correct them. Simple. |
 |
| Good on them if that's how they wish to spend their lives. We all need a hobby. But seriously though, I wish people would use the fucking English title when referring to specific series. There is nothing more cringe worthy then that. I know their a Weeaboo instantly because of that. |
| lol we're all one already but I don't care as long as it doesn't bother other people |
 |
| I think most of them can be pretty cringey, but most people that worship anything to an extreme are cringey to me. |
| idc about them i hate it when i get called a weaboo though |
| "Because people don't have wings.. We look for ways to fly." |
| the only reason many people even know they exist is because people online never stfu about or ignore them anyway, they don't bother me... im sorry to say, but being "cringe" IS NOT a crime and just because something annoys you doesn't necessarily mean it should stop, they are not harming anything and anyone who is dumb enough to base an entire community on a few is just as cringe worthy or even worse than those they criticize |
   |
| id only become a weeaboo if my waifu can guaranteed to be made real l o l |

I don't care if weeaboos are cringe. I just wish people didn't assume they are how the majority of anime fans act like. Just like how some people assume all anime fans are perverts. It's so annoying to hear about.  |
| I will show you weeaboo! At 1000 youtube subs I am making a plan to walk around town holding one of my anime figurines. That will be ultimate weeb! |
 |
| they usually smell like fucking ass. like they were too busy waxing their fake fucking sword to wash their ass |
| It's fine because they make the anime community fun. I don't think I can keep up with all the overly serious anime fans and alike. I have a lot of friends in LINE that would certainly qualify as weeabos though, they never let me down with their awesome jokes and funny desu desu-s XD |
| Now's not the time to cringe into that petty old crap |

There is nothing more cringe worthy then that. I know their a Weeaboo instantly because of that. I mean using this site as an example most of the series are listed with their Japanese title and it's obviously going to be the title more people have more exposure to. Granted not knowing both titles is a sign of a filthy casual but only using the English titles is more appropriate for dub streaming sites or mainstream shows that have enough popularity that it doesn't really matter. OT: I generally don't care, at worst they're making themselves look bad and it's likely going to be the other members of the community who spread the image anyway. Basically it's the members who try to be moderate while also pointing to what they consider the worst parts of the community that make anime watchers look bad. |
| Secretly we're all weeaboos.... gasp! |
 |
| > Thoughts on weeaboos? Weeaboos do not exist. They are a strawman thought up by neo-nazis. Anybody who cares about national identity to the point of disliking somebody like that is a neo-nazi anyway. |
| ^this weeaboos are a meme; the real textbook weeaboo is a mythical creature |
 |
| My honest to god thoughts? I think "weeaboo" is more of a phase than anything else. I believe MANY MALers have been at one point or another even for a little bit through this phase. It is in fact usually triggered through an admiration of anime that eventually starts to seep into other things. First you watch anime and you like it....then you want to learn Japanese because it's so "cool" and sounds so much different than English! Then you want to eat Japanese food and all that Jap candy...then you start thinking that other Japanese cultural things are cool cuz you saw it in a goddamn cartoon! Eventually you actually want to go to Japan, because that's your holy land! This is all a phase though....MOST people naturally grow out of it...or move on to other things or whatever. Personally, I think Japan's culture is pretty neat, but I wouldn't trade my American culture for it. I love our sports, our movies, our TV shows, and you know what? Nothing gets my freedom boner harder than that goddamn flag! God bless America man! |
| Let them be, if they are buying figures, the blu rays and etc. then they are contributing more than any community compared to most. Though they are seen in a bad light I have yet to see a weaboo other than the ones people talk about and they are the most extremes of examples so I'll just assume they are ok people. |
| We'd look like shit regardless so it doesn't matter. I mean, going a step further and getting rid of things like loli, ecchi, and whatever else people want to go on crusades against for giving an anime a bad name would ultimately change little in this regard. All of these things are just people scapegoating whatever they can to try and escape the cold, harsh reality that they often have some of the shittiest attitudes out there. Either that or they're just shitposting, which thankfully seems to be the case most of the time. |

| I just don't like it when people confuse Otaku and weeaboo. I don't think I'll be able to tolerate a weeb irl. And if they start using random Japanese words, I'll be offended because I'm learning the language. It's okay if it's online because most of them are just trolls. |

| I don't think they exist outside people trying really hard to look tough on the internet |

Whats so bad about using a foreign word btw? :O And i think weaboos doesnt even exist they are just very marginal if it is. Seriously if weboos would so many and like that like many people exaggerate, then there would way way more foreign people that know japanese language... Dude, can you English? ー_ー If you can't speak the language, don't use random fucking words that make no sense. What is your mother tongue? |

Holy shit That's...not much of a reason to get offended Like, at all. It's impressively minuscule, even, to the point where it makes it difficult for me to take anything else you have to say here seriously. And the worst part is that I can tell you're being serious ._. Just chill fam all is good |

| I have never seen a weaboo in my life outside the Internet. I don't know how people are able to find them that quickly irl. |

Just chill fam all is good Dude, that's not the only reason. Thinking that everything that comes out of Japan is great. Abandoning your own culture. There are a lot more reasons to hate weebs. Using random foreign words doesn't make you look smart. It's just an insult. |

Anybody who cares about national identity to the point of disliking somebody like that is a neo-nazi anyway. I completely agree. Although there may be some who lightly follow the 'definition' of one, only an incredibly small % of the fan base are indeed model weeaboos. |

Whats so bad about using a foreign word btw? :O Most people who complain about foreign words are people who don't understand anything about the way languages develop. In particular, English has stolen a lot of words all over the world. For example, all the science words are Latin, because that's what learned people in middle ages used. I find making up words like "weeaboo" to be more annoying. Tsukeru-kun said: Seriously if weboos would so many and like that like many people exaggerate, then there would way way more foreign people that know japanese language... Japanese language is pretty hard to learn, because it doesn't have much in common with european languages like English or French. Its grammar isn't easy too. But most people are just scared off by thousands of kanji. There are tricks to making sense of them, but it is still quite a hurdle. |
Tsukeru-kun said: Omkar_Nagwade said: Dude, can you English? ー_ー If you can't speak the language, don't use random fucking words that make no sense. What is your mother tongue? German. ^^ But not just weaboos or otakus use foreign words, i know many people that using random english, french, spanish words and they don't even know the language. So you're okay if a person started speaking random German words knowing nothing about its meaning? Are you that eager for someone to insult your mother tongue? |

Omkar_Nagwade said: So you're okay if a person started speaking random German words knowing nothing about its meaning? Are you that eager for someone to insult your mother tongue? People do it all of the time, especially when talking about WWII and the like where almost any type of policy or event related to the Third Reich - which the name most commonly spoken is name a that people should be offended by according to your logic, not even because of national socialism but since it's literally just an amalgamation between an English word (Third) and a German word (Reich) - is said using German words to some extent. Kindergarten is a German word and that's a fairly common name for entry level school in many non-German places, or at least America. There are towns outside of Germany named after an old Prussian chancellor, Otto von Bismarck, one of which is the capital of an American state. It's extremely commonplace. And I'm still not understanding where you're coming from at all with this ._. Omkar_Nagwade said: Manaban said: Seems like you have a paper-thin line of defense about what insults you, then ._. Mich thinks that du hast mich. Ich bin ein? Um "Me thinks that you have me. I am one?" that's some denglish if i've ever seen it Assuming you want to say something like "Ich glaube du hasst mich," though, then not at all, man It's a huge pet peeve of mine when people get all offended and stuff over really stupid things, though xD I mean, it'd be one thing to say it's cringeworthy or something, but I feel like you're being silly about it xD Turning it into a matter of being insulting and offensive is essentially what made me respond here, otherwise I would've just not cared It is not insulting whenever people use words that are not of their native tongue, and it is not insulting when people express great interest in a different culture than their own either that's ridiculous |
