Ryuk9428 said: Working more than 40 hours a week is really excessive because working 40 hours a week is already demanding a lot from people. Some of the most enjoyable activities in the world can become ruined by doing it 40 hours a week. If my job was reviewing animes and I had to watch animes 40 hours a week, almost every week, for years on end, I would very quickly get sick of watching anime. Play video games as your job 40 hours a week? Video games become ruined. Listen to my favorite types of music for 40 hours a week? I will end it wanting to smash every record. I love ecchi and porn but I would never want to masturbate 8 hours a day. 40 hours a week is insane. And you can tell that its insane by the incredible amount of cyberloafing that people do. I literally just wrote a paper for one of my classes where we discussed cyberloafing at office jobs and found a study showing that the average employee cyberloafs about 25% of their working hours away (or 10 hours) and that some employees cyberloaf as many as 5-6 hours a day. In Britain, the average employee cyberloafs 40% of their time at work. From what I've seen, people who don't cyberloaf, like many of the older people I talk to who didn't really have the technology to cyberloaf when they were working, lose parts of their sanity from the grind of office work. https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/01449290903353054 And workaholics are a problem, because now more and more companies expect us to act like them. Instead of the small number of workaholics being the "star employees" it soon just becomes the standard and asking to actually have a life of your own makes you one of the bad employees. If the number of workaholics continues to expand, it gets to the point where everyone is expected to live for work and all the fun of life is drained out by corporations that expect us to devote increasingly large amounts of energy to them. There's also the impact on society to consider. Our society will be a more fun, happy, and enjoyable place to live in if people have time and energy for fun things. The more workaholism becomes the standard behavior, the more fun is drained out of society. Everyone will be too exhausted and busy to do anything fun. I suspect you are projecting heavily onto me because you are jealous that there are so many things out there that I love so strongly. Perhaps you should find more things you enjoy. As if people don't cyberloaf when they are home or on a vacation. As if there is any activity in the world that demands continuous attention from anyone or there is anyone in the world who can continually pay attention to one thing only. The workaholics you so envy and hate are not people who put their all in those 8 hours; they are people who simply do the most important thing of that day on that day. But you have ways to go before you learn this lesson. I'm all for cutting work hours if that increases productivity. I believe in many workplaces that ought to, especially in the tech sector. But even if we found out that the most productive person in the world is only productive for 4 hours of the day, I'd still use a 6 hour work window because at work you're not supposed to be working all the time. Networking, forming relationships, learning new things, all of that is part of work. But again, if you knew that you wouldn't be whining about mere 40 hours. Our society will still be miserable as long as there are people who don't know what to make of themselves and how. It'll still be miserable as long as we have your kind. On the flip side, since you're locked in your comfort zone and are only able to enjoy particular 'media', your list of enjoyable things is almost certainly shorter than mine. |

On the flip side, since you're locked in your comfort zone and are only able to enjoy particular 'media', your list of enjoyable things is almost certainly shorter than mine. I don’t hate them, I feel sad for them, I certainly don’t envy them. That sounds like a horrible life to me. It’s not cyberloafing if you are at home, that’s just doing whatever you want to do in your spare time. And wouldn’t most people rather do these things at home than risk looking bad to their employer because are screwing around on the internet so much? A 6 hour work day or 30 hour work week is reasonable. I can do that. I can’t do 8 hours a day. I will want to commit sewerside. Yes those extra two hours a day make a really big difference. It’s usually not the first 4 or 5 hours that are hard. Those can go by surprisingly fast, it’s the hours at the tail end that suddenly feel 3 times longer per hour than the first 5 did. Meh, last Saturday a couple friends and I went to see a concert and then got food and drinks at a bar afterward. We typically go to a club every other week as well. I do a decent bit of writing in my spare time as well. Hopefully be able to create my own material out of the stuff I love so much. I certainly am not miserable but your rather intense anger relating to some argument we had how long ago now (I couldn’t remember what we had even spoken about until someone started posting links)? Makes me believe you probably are. @FlowersInTheRain Yeah that’s absolutely absurd. Seven days a week you say? So sometimes they won’t let you have a day off? I’d have gone cuckoo bananas a long time ago 😂 @SadMadoka That’s pretty much what I’m trying to do right now actually. 40 hours a week in an office for the rest of my life sounds soul crushing so I’m working towards self-employment as the ultimate goal and only working temporarily for an employer until I can get my feet off the ground. |

most anti weebs are actually weebs you know.  |

And wouldn’t most people rather do these things at home than risk looking bad to their employer because are screwing around on the internet so much? Loafing is loafing. There are things people should be doing even when they are free and everybody knows those things, and they still fuck it up. People procrastinate. They do it no matter what. Let that sink in. There are retired people who know they should be going around, visiting places they always wanted; they have the means, the time, everything, and they still procrastinate. Hell, you want to get a life and you have the time to do so everyday but you procrastinate. And you do it so much that you've come to believe it's the right thing to do. If you don't live in the way of your beliefs, you start believing in the way you live. People suck at time management, suck at discipline, suck at working as per their priorities. It's a fact of life. And it has nothing to do with work. |

| Anti-weebs bother me more because I actually have to have contact with them online. I can probably count the number of people I've seen using Japanese words in place of English words with no real purpose or reason on one hand. At worst, there might be an implied stance that Japanese media is inherently better than western media, which is stupid but w/e, it's rarely direct and sometimes not even very noticeable. The number of people who bitch about these people existing are people you can run into daily on this board. It is tiresome and it comes off like they just want to distance themselves from the stereotypical image of a weeb more than anything, and they very much are eager to make it clear what they are not at any cost. It makes it seem like they're insecure and trying to scream about how insecure they are at the top of their lungs without actually saying it. It is brought to my goddamn doorstep whether I want it to be or not. Both behaviors do annoy me, sure, but the latter feels so much more present that I don't even really understand what they're standing against at this point. |

operationvalkyri said: Well you're a self-proclaimed weeaboo so of course you won't like anti-weebs. The fact that your post cannot possibly be free of bias means it's useless atm. Dude, I'm pretty sure that even most casual anime fans, or people who haven't even watched anime, can attest to how toxic people who hate anime fans are. Saying this is sort of like saying, well of course you hate homophobic people, you're gay. You don't have to be the object of someone's hatred to recognize that hatred is an inherently wrong and toxic thing. |
| I for one despise extroverted "weebs that base their entire attitude on being cringey. For example groups of sad hormonal teenagers who constantly XD and x3 each other whenever someone says something. Can't really stand to be a friend of those people because typically under all that XDing they are "depressed" and whatever. Unfortunately a lot of people try to adopt an anime persona to sort of hide their own personal problems, especially online. If you talk about weebs as weaboos - people that want to live in Japan, okay. I will say yes, work as hard as you can, get your money, and get out of my country and into a country with a high suicide rate and seemingly not so much happiness in general. Weebs are delusional thinking Japan is the best place ever; it isn't, plain and simple. But have fun being disappointed when you arrive in your fantasy world. I've been to Japan, it's nice, but there are nicer things out there. Anti-weebs, I'm gonna guess are the morons who say anybody who watches even 1 episode of anime is a weeb? I don't really care for them, I feel sorry for them because they are so close minded that they won't even try it out. |

Both behaviors do annoy me, sure, but the latter feels so much more present that I don't even really understand what they're standing against at this point. This covers most of my thoughts. There are people all over MAL who seem like they can't stand the fact that stereotypical weeb type people exist and go out of their way to prove they are "not one of those people." Even if someone thought that both sides behavior was objectively the same levels of cringe, the fact that anti-weebs are 10-20x more prevalent I think would make them a lot more deserving of criticism than stereotypical weeaboo type people. Like you said, I can count on one hand the number of people on this website who I would call true weeaboos but there's no way of counting the number of anti-weebs. They are crawling all over this site. There is no such thing as art which is objectively better. But its fine for people to have a preference if they like Japanese media better or Western media better. To me that's like saying "I like horror films better than action films." @Chaz745 Its kind of like ten years ago when it was "cool" to hate Justin Bieber. I still to this day have not met a Justin Bieber fan but holy hell the people who hated his guts to an absurd extent were all over the internet. I also think there's inherently something a lot worse about dedicating so much brain space to hating someone's hobby or object of interest than there is in being obsessively interested in something. @InsipidAsh03 I don't know any weeaboos planning to actually move to Japan but I know two who have visited Japan and it appears to have increased their love of it. I think Japanese culture appeals very strongly to a very specific personality. People who don't really get it are more likely to think "I mean, I guess its cool but I don't get what the big deal is?" |

| It happens to everything. The internet used to be a feminist utopia. Thankfully advances in science has allowed me to also stay at home and wage internet jihad on the SJWs and feminist for the fate of the internets. You know, when I am not too busy watching anime and hentai. |

| Where are these anti weeaboos that you speak of and why do you care so much? Both are equally cringy. |

| I never seen any anti-weeaboos. I'm a weeb, not weeaboo but I do appreciate the stuff from Japan but I never have seen anyone attacking Japan or anything. I seen people attacking weebs and otakus, but not Japan itself |
