| I have a small impression i already made a similar thread in the past, but i don't seem to remember it, oh well. Long story short: During a big part of my childhood and early adolescence i was playing mainly Korean MMOs and posting in communities/foruns about them. There would always be a large group of people with Anime Signs/Avatars and occasional conversations/memes about them. Back in the day i didn't know much about anime, so i though that such people were awesome, not only because i liked even back then the anime aesthethic, but also because of the reason that led me to play LoL: "I don't have any idea of what they are talking about, but it sounds cool AF, i want to learn about it one day". And well, i'm here, so i did, eventually, learn about anime, but that's not the main focus, the main focus is what happened when i began to browse more than Korean MMO foruns. When i was 13 or so and was beggining to know about anime i used to tought with myself "Whoa, it has so many different genres, i don't think anyone can hate this", oh boy was i naive. It started with the brazillian LoL foruns, then other places, but the main place i saw it on Twitch, there i saw people who LEGIT hated both anime and it's fanbase, and chat would usually go apeshit whenever something anime related was on stream, be it Forsen/Witwix playing Nekopara ironically, or Kripp sponsoring Shadowverse. I know even the own anime community would often joke about it, usually via Hayao Miyazaki memes, in many anime groups in Brazil we used to have a shitpost which consisted in posting random skeleton images with "COME GET SOME, FILTHY WEEB" or some variation, but the people i saw, i'm almost safe to say, were not being ironical on that hate. |
| because anime fans have to prove how much cooler/badass or less cringey they are than each other if theres shit talk towards anime fans or weebs or w/e, its probably 90% likely to be from another anime fan |
   |
| Because it's the internet and people think hating on something that is popular is fun. I see it the same way gaming was like many years ago, something that gets popular and a lot of people not getting the hype, translating that misunderstanding as hate towards it. |

| REAL weebs are pretty cringey...they throw away their own identity to worship Japan, just because of some cartoons. Ironic since Japan is not very friendly towards foreigners. But, MOST anime fans are not weebs...not even close. Other than joking around, I don't actually think I've ever met a REAL weeb...so I think people are just fucking around. |
| Because some of the weebs are annoying and in your face about it. Just like the bronies 5 years ago spamming their gifs all over the place. |

Weebs are hated by many because, it is sorta social status. Like you do nothing and watch Anime. Mostly someone who watches Anime rarely or someone who watches it non-stop insults Anime community. |
| Weebs , i had friend from high school he was total weirdo speaking japanese time to time and talk about anime all the day.He was like "you idiots dont know what you missing".Thanks to that f*cker i hated anime until i watch it he literally make me hate it. |
 |
lol not true.. japanese people are nice as fuck XD |

| For the same reason why anime fan call others casual pleb and having shit taste. Elitism. Internet always full of animosity where people want to look down on one another. Satou Tatsuhiro said: (Welcome to the N.H.K) It's natural for a person to deny he's a failure as a human being. That's why he searches for somebody who is more miserable than himself. That's why so much animosity exists on the internet. Those who aren't able to find a more miserable person, turn to the internet and call other people losers, even though they've never met. Just to make themselves feel superior. Isn't that pathetic? There's a sense of security that comes from speaking badly of someone else. But that isn't true salvation. http://www.less-real.com/quotes/search/Satou%20Tatsuhiro |

But it's important to remember that a movie review is subjective;it only gives you one person's opinion. http://www.classzone.com/books/lnetwork_gr08/page_build.cfm?content=analyz_media&ch=30 It doesn't matter if you like LoGH,Monster etc.If you are a jobless or college/school dropout living in your mom basement, you are still an unintelligent loser. Taste in anime does not make you a better person.If elitist don't exist, casual pleb and shit taste also don't exist. |
| People generalize groups by their extreme cases. On the surface level anyone can be annoying if you're ignorant enough. |
| I long for the People's Revolution. First into the camps. |
| Have you seen any Weeaboo cringe videos lmao |
 |
| Because they are the scum of the earth |

| With regards to hate on actual weebs, they are annoying as fuck. Anyone who is so obsessed with something that they throw away their own culture/ identity over is stupid, especially one who is so vocal and "in your face" about it. The reality is that neither the anime community nor the anime industry would notice that you were gone if you disappeared, yet your dedication to such things forced those close to you to despise you and might even be relieved at your disappearance. With regard to irrational hatred towards anime, who cares? It's not worth your time thinking about anyone shallow enough to get so upset over something that probably doesn't even concern them, especially when they likely know close to nothing about that something. |

| Because is an easy thing to hate. People hate what they don't know. That said, I think that most people are just joking. And as for actual weebs, well they are just retarded. |

| The word weeaboo has been overused to the point where it barely means anything at this point. It's just a word dub elitists like to use when they find anybody who doesn't like their favorite dub or edgelords use because they think it makes them look cool. Real weeaboos do exist but they're a rarity. |

| > Why so much hate towards weebs/anime on the internet? Basically, people who use the word and hate these people are neo-nazi. Twisted monsters in the shape of men, brainwashed by the governments to worship lies like "nation" or "culture", to kill and die for these empty words. |
| They probably read some threads in the anime discussion forum. |
 |
| Well, a lot of the younger fans take it pretty far. It can leave strong impressions. Some people are petty enough to fall into hatred of cartoons. Whatcanyoudo |
| Some people are so sad they are unable to have fun without making fun of someone else. They care so much about their image that they're unable to enjoy things, else it might be 'cringe'. So they thrive on making fun of people with a passion. |

| Well, I don't know what you exactly mean with weebs, but if you are talking about the huge otakus in Akihabara, I don't get why they get so much shit. I mean going that far for their passion is simply fucking amazing. |
I've always heard Japan is quite Xenophobic... I have no idea of course, I've never been there... |
| You know, at least where i live, ""normal"" people barely know what weeaboo means. It's used by people who watch anime but don't want to be tagged as freaks by others, which is quite ironic,,,,, Not that i care though |
| Because if you look, the only popular thing about anime worldwide is Attack on Titan, hentai and viral videos of Japanese men marrying body pillows. This of course would make any "normal" person feel confused and people hate what they don't understand. And thanks to Filthy Frank videos, they've realized the word "weeaboo" is a harmful insult to such anime fans. |
| Because anime isn't famous for its quality stories and characters, normies only know about hentai and lolis. I'd be more concerned about the fact you even played such garbage games tbh. |
 |
| Because weebs are obsessed with lolis and cardboard-cutout -dere husks and wish-fulfillment garbage like SAO, and they rightfully deserve all the scorn they get. |
 This glorious signature image was created by @Mayumi! I am the Arbiter of Absolute Truth, and here is my wisdom: "Anime was always influenced by the West. This is not news. Shoujo is the superior genre primarily aimed at young people. Harem/isekai are lazy genres that refuse any meaningful innovation. There is no 'Golden Age.' There will always be top-shelf anime. You should be watching Carole & Tuesday." |
| sometimes issa meme, sometimes it's justified, sometimes people are edgelords, sometimes it's insecurity towards liking something that might be socially frowned upon. tastes and preferences differ so much, it's normal so people will dislike other people |
"I came here to sniff Madoka panties and kick witch ass and I am all out 'doka panties" - Homora Akemi |
| At this point, because of overusage, weeb and otaku mean the same thing, so i'll use the shorter word. These people are not being ironical, i've met some who refused to play ShadowVerse despite agreeing in it's quality because it was anime-style. |
| Why so much hate towards weebs? Because when people who don't watch anime see weeabo fuck tards they assume all anime fans are giant idiot douche bag dorks. |
| Because some of them take it way farther than a simple hobby, like a damn lifestyle... |
 |
That's not true at all. Just watch any Japanese vloggers on YT like Abroad in Japan, Sharmander or Rachel & Jun. Japanese people are super nice. I know because I've talked to a few people. |
 |
| I've never actually met any weebs irl. I don't think they even exist. At this point, the terms weeb and weeaboo have become memes and are just really weak insults. I wish people stopped confusing Otaku and weeb. Kinda annoying. |
|
| Because they think that weebs are the lowest in the heirarchy next to normies, which in fact false. |
| I hate weebs because they usually are always hating on cartoons and say cartoon girls are ugly so I think the hate is justifiable. I think it's stupid though for non anime fans to stereotype all anime fans as being weebs. I don't see a lot of non sarcastic hate for anime as a medium though. |

| If anything I keep seeing loads of people popping up saying they love anime. Then again, it's most likely ironic weebs that have been showing up as of late. |

Kuraokani said: Well I don't know why people hate anime itself but when you say "weebs" I immediately think of people who use words like "Kawaii" or add honorifics to other people's names even though they aren't Japanese. Personally, I find weaboos very cringeworthy. I equate a weaboo to a kid that doesn't really know what is or isn't socially acceptable. The kids who use words that they either heard on a T.V show, heard a friend say, or just want to fit in with everyone else. To be honest, weaboos have actually ruined part of my life. I'm a avid YouTube user and recently started watching top 10 anime list to try and find new series to watch. Needless to say, youtubes recommendations went completely haywire. Next thing I know I'm seeing "Asuna is so KAWAII" or "top 10 Kawaii moments!" or "Mikisa is too Kawaii!!!!!". It's annoying. Now it's like I have a kid yelling in my face every time I go on YouTube. P.S, another reason would be that I knew a few kids in highschool (I didn't know anything about anime back then)that weighted 300 pounds and had greasy hair and wore the same hoodie all year round. When you overheard them talking it was about either Hentai or new anime coming out. Again, needless to say, talking openly about cartoon porn in highschool tends to invite negative attention. Especially when it's coming from a couple of fatass, greasy, weaboos. so...am I a weeb ? well me and my friend sometime speak in japanese (I did it for lolz) so...am I a weeb ??? |

thewiru said: And? That's no reason to shame them on a forum. Why do you care so much? They are obviously fans of the anime style and this is yet another case of overblowing a situation. There is no problem that they don't want to play a certain type of video game. Who actually cares this much about what games people play?Kagami said: Bingo.

They can play what they want for any reason they choose. Stop acting like their parent and simply learn not to care what games people do or do not play. |

| "Muh Chinese cartoons are holier than thou" To be perfectly honest I've never met any "true" weeb to form a solid opinion about them. All that I've witnessed is the illusion of "weeb" created by internet users and then bashed by internet users. When you try to catch this "illusion" of weeb, then all you can see is this illusion, confined by its "existence", chasing the non-exist meaning of weeb and in turn get (butt) hurt by it. I always think of it as a joke, an illusion which is created for the sake of joke but when people try to push a "serious" sense into the joke and as result it gets too serious, it become a tedious, cringey and overused joke. Trying to take a joke in serious view is quite troublesome in the first place after all. thewiru said: Weeb and Otaku do not have the same meaning though.At this point, because of overusage, weeb and otaku mean the same thing, so i'll use the shorter word. |

| @Cactii - To be fair, this thread is showcasing why the term weeb bugs me to no end. I don't know OP and I have nothing against OP, but some people tend to care way to much about what others do and call them weebs for such petty reasons. Not as a joke either, but to shame them. Using this development as an example. OP claims these people will not play games that arent anime style and feels the need to shame them over it. This is what absolutely breaks any sound logic.Instead of letting people play or watch what they want for whatever reasons they might be, people feel the need to actually care. Its troubling because this whole story is a non issue and its best to let these people do them. Its their life. I see this so often. |
