cant be a 10 if you have 100 anime watched :D
Weeb is an ideology, not a statistic.

You are applying a weeb theme to statistics.

Weeb itself is how far your ideology goes. Do you want Japanese to be taught everywhere? Do you want to see penis monuments? Do you want skirts to be the dress code for school girls?

7. I don't watch anime all day every day, nor do I have a gigantic list, but it's my main interest and mostly what I talk about in my free time. I also wear anime profile pics and avatars on pretty much every social media.

On one hand I have a massive watch list but on the other hand most of the stuff on my watch list is from a single two month period where I was doing nothing but working out and watching anime while I did it. Also on one hand I did learn Japanese in school as my third language (took Spanish class for my second language) but on the other hand that was because my only other option was French (which is even less useful, I would have preferred to take Chinese). And finally on one hand I run a YouTube Channel that's somewhat anime related, but I also haven't bought a piece of anime merchandise in my whole life nor do I fit the typical anime viewer stereotypes at all, so I don't know whether I'd classify as a weeb or not. I guess a 7?

10 because I hear more Japanese than English. -10 points for still not understanding Japanese so 0. BUT add 2 points because I scream out Japanese phrases whenever I'm annoyed, happy or whatever. -1 point for not collecting figures and add a 0.5 for getting a free cosplay jacket thingy in the past so 1.5 weeb out of 10.

i used to be pretty bad, but now i'm a reserved 3.

Oh maybe, maybe it's the clothes we wear
The tasteless bracelets and the dye in our hair
Or maybe, maybe it's our nowhere towns or our nothing places
But we're trash, you and me
We're the litter on the breeze
We're the lovers on the streets
Just trash, me and you
It's in everything we do

Yikes probably a 7 or 8 if the first thing I ask somebody I met is if they watch anime. I don't watch anime as much as I used to though, and I can go days without watching it. I now don't spend all day just watching anime. However, I do read manga more frequently now and I spend a bit of time chatting with people about anime. I also have merch in my bedroom and I hope to visit Japan one day. I listen to mainly just anime music and I have flipping cat ears. I also draw anime style and I call people Japanese things.

Other than that I keep it all inside.

I'd say I'm not a weeb, but because I don't like many (if not all) of the shows most people like. I do own anime merchandise however, so if anyone who didn't know me happened to enter in my room, they'd say I'm a weeb without a doubt, which is not fun. Having a identity based on what you consume instead of who you really are is bullshit, and most weebs I've known take pride on that.

Based on your scale, am I a weeb? Probably, 2/10.

I watch a lot of animes and talk about animes with my friends (not all the time however)
I have a few goodies (mostly Ghibli posters actually) but nothing like clothes (except a kimono, which is pretty comfy) or, ew, body pillows

I dunno, probably like a 4 or 5? I have a few figurines and posters and some anime shirts but I often get "you don't look like you watch anime"/"you don't seem like the type who watches anime" from people.

I honestly couldn't say. There are so many contradicting characteristics associated with my personality that I don't necessarily fit any stereotype/label. I legit confuse people. The definition of a "weeb" or what some call "neckbeards" doesn't seem to fit me all that much.

I generally love anime that is cute and has a heartwarming/bittersweet story that would make me smile. I tend to deal with depression & anxiety quite often; much of the "slice of life" anime tends to make me feel better when I'm down and puts my mind on the right track again. Western animation typically doesn't have the same effect on me.

I also have an interest in the Japanese language and music. I've been particularly interested in J-R&B. I tend to think that in some instances, Japanese music is eclipsing western music. However, idol music (like AKB48) leaves a lot to be desired.

There are many aspects about the Japanese culture that I find admirable and interesting (like an affinity for cuteness). However, I don't think that I could live in Japan. One such reason would be is that I think the public smoking & drinking would irritate me; the fact that alcohol is sold just about everywhere there's food is quite a turn off to me. At least here in America, plenty of restaurants and such exist where there's no smoking allowed or alcohol being sold. I'm fully aware that such an opinion is quite unpopular. Further more, I have no problem with people that like to partake in such vices; I just don't want to be around such. Particularly for reasons which if stated, would be quite a wall of text thus I'll spare you guys (this post is long enough as it is).

So maybe, 1 or 2? *shrugs*

This is not really directed at you per se, but this caught my attention. It really blows my mind that anime/"weebism" is associated with conservatism/Trump these days. It seems that this association came about after the "#gamergate" mess when researching such trend. Much, if not the vast majority of his supporters are the alpha male manly types that tend to think anime is for f*ggots and kids. I'm almost 31 years old and can no longer count how many times that slur has been thrown at me (it probably doesn't help that I have quite a bit of a feminine appearance and persona). I've always thought that in many ways, anime was quite forward thinking/progressive. For example, LGBT is well represented; just look at Wandering Son, Yuri on Ice and just yuri anime in general.

Honestly, it's quite sad to me that it's being particularly associated with the most vile of humanity by mainstream Western civilization and mass media. So much, that I'm considering in not being too open about being a fan of it anymore. I mean... I always say to not give a fuck what people think of you as liking anime has always been quite a stigma; but mass murderer, racist, nazi, misogynist, incel, pedophile or whatever terms/rhetorics being thrown around out there due to recent internet trends and world events are serious things to be associated with (unless of course, you are one of those that are listed; in that case, fuck off and don't talk to me). I already have documented mental illness; so yeah, not great things to be associated with.

Anyways, this is a hell of a topic to bring up and a nasty road to go down so I'll digress. It's something that I wanted to get off my chest for quite a while now. I'll close by saying: thanks a lot to the internet for fucking it up for everyone.

TL;DR

I think the takeaway to get from this thread (and post) is that anime is loved by people of all different nationalities, ethnicities, genders, backgrounds, walks of life, political persuasions and viewpoints. It's quite a diverse audience now. Anime conventions are looking much more diverse with every year that passes (especially here in Detroit with Youmacon) so I don't think that you can really associate it with a certain stereotype anymore despite recent trends/events.

I have a lot of Japanese games and I've obviously seen a good amount of anime. I don't really have a lot of merch outside of a few shirts and I don't wack off to the thought of living in Japan. I do like Japanese women though....I'd say a 4 or 5. Let's call it 4.5.

I never strongly obsess over anything I think. I do not have any anime figurines or body pillows, they are rather expensive. I have one British Airways Boeing 747, used to have more planes.

I have Nier Automata laptop wallpaper, before that CC wallpaper. CC wallpaper on smartphone.

Japanese music occupy significant portion of my playlist. It is mostly, but not exclusively anime OST. I have some non anime related song I got from my Japanese friend back in the days. Then there are mony other songs out there from various different countries.

Around half to quarter of my porn is anime/hentai. Some of the IRL porn is Asian/Japanese/Thai (not ladyboys), but there is a lot of other stuff there as well.

In porn I completely avoid femdom as well as any women that look domineering in any way. Even in vanilla porn girls should look like they will make a good sub.

I also completely avoid 1 girl, many dudes or porn with more males than females. Normal harem with one guy many girls are fine and one of my faves, but reversed harem is just no.

Finally I avoid any black guy white girl. I am fine with black girl, white dude, or both black or both white. However no black dudes taking white women.

Also I like some of Japanese quinine, but I also like Italian, Australian and US food.

So I think overall I am 25% to 50% weeb. It fluctuates within that band kind of.

let's seeee i watch anime kinda sporadically, but i used to watch a shit ton and have been to several anime conventions and cosplayed before... i also went out of my way to try to learn japanese and still remember some of what i learned... im also a hobbyist artist and sometimes draw fanart, plus im on this cursed site to begin with lmao

howeverrrr im gonna say a 5/10 because i can go a while without watching anime/doing any anime related activities (for example apparently didn't watch any anime all of 2021). perfectly average weeb levels i guess?

I think it balances out to like a 6/10. While I am taking Japanese as a major, worked at an anime convention, and have known of anime and manga for almost 16 years, I am very disillusioned about Japan as a place. The history of the country, the current state of the country, and its future can be quite bleak. That applies to most places though. Despite everything I would still love to visit and potentially work there.

I do like Japanese culture, but I'm not obsessed with it. But I also like different other cultures. You can say, I like cultures in general, not just Japanese. 

I do like a handful of animes. I'm more the "mature" anime watcher. What I mean is, I don't like that high pitch "cute" "UwU" voices for characters with a mature age. It's so cringe. 

So, animes I like are Ghost in the Shell, Ergo Proxy, Serial Experiments Lain, black lagoon etc. 

I do own manga's from Ghost in the Shell, and I'm looking for someone with a 3D printer, since I own great Motoko Kusanagi blue-prints. But other then that, I don't own any other merchandise. 

So tell me, how much of a weeb number would you give me. I would rather say a 0 or a 1.

5? 6? At most.
My main form of entertainment isn't anime anymore, better saying it's 50/50 western and asian stuff and I always consumed some other media too. My favorite pieces of fiction are anime/asian media-related tho.
I am and always have been obsessed with media in general, if that helps the case ... but not really, I guess. It's definitely not a hobby tho.

I like Japanese food a lot, but also some other kind.
I don't idealize Japan at all and I wouldn't live there, but I keep some savings on the side for traveling for maybe two weeks. Also rather want to see shrines, everything cultural, Mount Fuji and a national park and only pay a weeb district a short visit, since I could buy manga and merch here as well.

Also I am doing cosplay occasionally, but I cosplayed Ciri and Vi too. So, that's not very weeby of me lol.

I think I'm normally like around a 4-5, I'm pretty private about my interest in anime. When I was younger I was probably more like a 6-7, but even now, if I'm comfortable and having fun around other weebs there's no limit to it.
