Define "Weeaboo"

Please define [u]weeaboo[/u] specifically. Because if [i]anyone[/i] who watches anime is one, that's pretty stupid.

      First of all it's "Weeaboo", not that it matters all that much. A weeaboo is someone, from a country other than Japan, who is so obsessed with Japanese anime that they want to [b]live there[/b]. They also denounce their own culture and try to use anime to learn how to live there. They think it will be the best thing in the world and everyone there will want to talk about anime with them. Which is not true, of course. [url=http://www.cracked.com/article_20118_5-things-nobody-tells-you-about-living-in-japan.html]Here's a link to an article about some of the misconceptions people have about Japan.[/url] Most people there are not anime fans and there isn't panty machines and anime shops around every corner. It's not some safe haven for nerds you dolts, in fact, despite all their advances in the past few decades, it's probably one of the most xenophobic and backwards first world countries out there. Seriously, look it up, if you move there as a foreigner you will always be singled out as "that one foreigner" and will probably be treated as less than a native Japanese person. Good luck weeaboos, have fun in your xenophobic and backwards country where women are still treated as less than men and men are forced into an unfulfilled life of nothing but work and more work.

      • Anyone who says they love Japanese [u]culture[/u] because they watch anime, learn a couple of words in Japanese, Have some weird Japanese sounding screen name, Google translate their bio into Kanji, Call everyone "chan". That isn't culture.

        • Urban dictionary defines it as: Someone who is obsessed with Japan/Japanese Culture/Anime, etc. and attempts to act as if they were Japanese, even though they're far from it. They use Japanese words but usually end up pronouncing them wrong and sounding like total assholes. You can find alot of these -blam!- clogging up the forums of Gaia Online, hanging out in the international aisle of the supermarket, or crowding the manga section of your local bookstore. Synonym of wapanese.

          • Otaku means you have a hobby you pour lots of time into. Weaboo is someone who abandons their own culture in favor of japanese culture. Hikkikomori is anyone who isolates themself and tries to escape reality with video games, anime, etc.

            • Pretty much anyone who watches anime. Normal people don't try to escape reality by watching Japanese cartoons.

              The way I see it a "weaboo" is someone who loves everything about the Japanese culture and obsesses over it constantly. And when I say everything I mean everything [spoiler]i watch anime and I would read manga if I had the chance [/spoiler]

              That's thing about Stupid people. Dozens of them walking around and others dumber than them they call friends. Dumb people like to make up words and things with those words. It's no wonder why we Americans have the worst education system. Don't be stupid. Stop the stupid and Let Smart people do the thinking when it comes to real words. Calling people" Weeboo" Is just a troll virgin living in his mommys basement. Adolescents who have nothing better to do than make up words and even some adults that don't exist. If i had my way a chip would explode in people's heads who said Weeboo and other stupid things.

                Someone who is so obsessed with Japanese culture that they reject their culture in favor of Japanese. Typically believe that learning to speak Japanese, having a ridiculous amount of anime merchandise, and owning an actual katana will make you Japanese. Usually own a body pillow of their "waifu", a female anime character they pretend to date. They also think that Japan is exactly like it is portrayed in anime.

                  I'll give you the origins on how Weeaboo came to be. [i]knowyourmeme.com[/i] did my summary homework so I give credit to them *shivers* though I found this out first on a thread on /a/ on 4chan quite awhile back. [b]TL;DR[/b]: [i] In its original context, the word “weeaboo” doesn’t signify anything but something undesirable and deserving punishment. Since then, many 4chan visitors adopted the word “Weeaboo” in replacement of Wapanese.[/i] [i][quote]Weeaboo (a.k.a [b]Wapanese[/b]) is an English slang used to describe a person (typically of non-Asian descent) who prefers Japan and all things in Japanese over one’s indigenous culture.[/quote][/i] [quote]From late 2003 and onwards, usage of Wapanese became alarmingly visible on 4chan, often leading to unpleasant exchanges between anime/manga fans and those who were far less interested in their subcultures. [b]At the peak of its abuse in mid-2005, 4chan moderators devised a creative intervention using the word-filter, replacing every instance of Wapanese with “Weeaboo,”[/b] which was a [u]fictitious term[/u] originally coined by Nicholas Gurewitch in his Perry Bible Fellowship comic strip (date unknown, comic #62): picture is above for reference.[/quote]
