Why is it that if you talk highly of Japan, you're a weeaboo?

What I don't get is if you like Japan a lot because of their animation, culture, or whatever reasons. You're called a weeaboo and its all of a sudden a really bad thing but its totally fine if you're obsessed to France, America, Chinese culture? Like, seriously. You can't learn the Japanese language without having people think lowly of you but its fine learning other languages. Why is it soo bad? Is it really that bad if you're a weeaboo anyways? A lot of Japanese act like western people and they use a lot of english words to sound cool but its totally fine. Some even wear a shirt with a american flag because they like america and theres nothing wrong with that but holy shit, when a western person wear a shirt with a Japanese flag. They're the worst?

It's not just thinking highly of Japan but highly thinking of Japan and hating every other country. People who think highly of American culture and no other culture are called worst things like racist, redneck, ignorant.

I think that the general consensus of weaboo is not only a person who likes Japan, but also a person who utilizes japanese words in all its conversations, sounding like a retard in the process.

Something like this:

Bu the thing is, barely anyone uses the term correctly... and like, I said before. Its not as big of a deal if some american person thinks their country is the most superior one and that other countries aren't as good but its a much bigger deal when its someone talking about Japan when they're western.

Because the ignorant Western anime community exists.

Oh and also because most of the time 4chan bullied them into thinking the way they currently do so it's just basically self-loathing and denial that they are actually weeaboo but refuse to admit it because they're spineless twats XD

OH and don't forget there are the reverse weeaboos which probably are more toxic than the already toxic weeaboos themselves XDDD

The thing with Weeaboos is that they have to talk about Japan ALL the time. They try to behave like a Japanese person (or like what they think a Japanese person behaves). Weeaboos are, in my opinion, reeeaally annoying.
Now, the real problem is: people dont know the difference between a Weeaboo and a person who just likes Japanese culture.

Most Weeaboos have cognitive dissonance after realizing Japanese Westaboos are basically the pioneers of anime. Weeaboos have colored hair and praise Naruto while In contrast, Japanese Westaboos built the entire framework anime is based on and often create the best anime of all times. Most of the top anime is inspired by western literature and western trends and will continue to be unless japanese start adapting their own novels more often. The lesson here is Weeaboos have a hard time accepting the fact that cultures that intermingle with each other also end up inspiring people of other cultures. Japanese anime would not be what it is today without the west and vice versa with some cartoons that were developed in the west.

Just different definitions.

A person who loves Japanese culture and anime etc, and collects anime merchandise is not a weeb.

Weeb's are generally people who have watched some anime, think Japan and all it's related content are the work of gods and are so much better then any other culture, do stupid things like try to speak Japanese, even though there just saying random words from an anime, and are annoying as hell.

Everyone that is obsessed or talks frequently about a culture, tendency, religion, idea, etc... that is not related to them or their own culture; is seen bad. For example a Japanese that is into Hip Hop, or someone that is obsessed with Indian culture or yoga, etc...
Maybe it is the combination of : 90% of what you watch is anime + learn Japanese + talk about Japan + being a completely random person from west = sick nerd (at the eyes of the crowd)

Probably everyone except otakus despise Japan or at least consider it something of no importance, so they think you mind was eaten by those "Cartoons".

See the reason for this is not so much because people talk well about Japan, but rather how those same people act when someone talks badly about them or how they talk about other cultures (America is the prime target for the internet).

Hmmm. I have noticed that some people (mainly Europeans) on this site and elsewhere do seem to hold that opinion. All current countries are barely 300 years or older considering nationalism only started in the 18th century.

Culture is separate from nationalism. The cultures of European countries or Chinese culture is much more well established. I would largely argue that the Asian societies have been sadly regressive in many instances, so they do not serve as particularly great models of success in some senses, but I personally find many of these older cultures nonetheless all the more exciting and intellectually invigorating to study as opposed to American culture, which by comparison is rather bland and stale. I am sure that give a few hundred more years and the topic of American history will be far more exciting.

DateYutaka said:

As another aside, I do not understand the point of making such questionable points to assert Japanese intellectual superiority. For one, the novel was largely considered commoner trash for the majority of its time on Earth, and poetry was always considered the superior form.

In addition, Japanese poetry is incredibly weak and paltry compared to poems from most countries with any literary tradition. It is rather embarrassing when the best example of Japan's poetry were Pound's translations and renditions of Japanese poems.
