Weeaboo General

[Anonymous No.6640206]

I know we have the "Weeaboo Horror Stories" threads and whatnot, but can we get a weeaboo general thread?
Personal stories, horror stories, general con behavior stories, pictures, rants, growth/success stories, etc.

What interests me are the "Halfu Japaneezu desu" ones. Moreso, the ones that keep it going well into adulthood. Pixyteri would be a prime example, of course.
What goes through their minds? Are they just crazy or do they have a past they want to cover up?
It's just so interesting.

Let's share some things about the weebs, /cgl/.

[Anonymous No.6640386]

They claim that they know 3 languages but its limited to "kawaii" or "sugoii" or anything related. They also go parading at malls after school hours wearing bad cosplays or ita dresses complete with terrible make-up.

During events or cosplay catwalks, they spend more than their allotted stage time and complain that they never win. They even pick fights with other contestants, organizers or even the judges.

>OP post about fake half-Asians.

I think OP specifically meant half-Japanese wannabes. Not half-Asian in general.

Anyway, I used to be a pretty big weeb (well, a J-Rock weeb mixed with a bit of anime weeb, to be more specific)... It was horrible. I remember going to my first anime convention dressed in a totally mismatched outfit I thought was ~*~totes Oshare desu~*~.
Said outfit contained an old, shitty tank top which I wrote "I AM KIRA" on. Can you tell I was in to Death Note?
Fuck, I thought I was so hilarious and clever by doing that. It embarrasses me 'til this day that I ever paraded around so confident in such an outfit.
Totally thought I was hot shit, too. Like "damn, these people have nothing on me. I bet I'll get so many pictures taken since I look so amazing!" Of course, no one wanted a picture of me because I looked like a train wreck had thrown up on and then died atop another train wreck.

Oh god why.
Since then, I have ditched the J-Rock scene (though I'll admit, I do still enjoy the hair styles and makeup now and again) and moved on to better things. I think I improved quite a bit in terms of cosplay, fashion, and makeup skill. Thankfully.

Oh man. One of my larping buddies used to go out with a half-Vietnamese guy who swore up and down he was half Japanese. Then she finally met his family and asked his mom if she grew up in Japan and she was like "What? No, I am from Vietnam. Why does Kevin say these things? That I am from Japan?" and when my friend told him about it he basically threw a tantrum and called his mom a lying whore and tried to convince her that he was really Japanese by trying to speak to her in glorious nipponese. But that kind of backfired because she knew enough basic Japanese to know that most of what he was saying was pretty much gibberish, like "snow bicycle rabbit yes." She broke up with him that night and he fucking stalked her for weeks. So yeah, Asians can be weeaboos.

[Anonymous No.6640477]

I was a weeb until mid-high school. I knew how to keep my powerlevel contained but I wish I knew better. I did the hai/iie, bowing, cosuupreii so good, everything /cgl has described in past threads.

I was really snobby about the whole thing, and I really did think japan was better than the rest of the world. Everything changed when I did go to Japan at 15 years old. I realized the place was a lot tamer than I thought it would be, and from then I calmed down a lot.

[Anonymous No.6640492]

Confession time, /cgl/,

I used to be a weeaboo.

There, I said it. I'll own up to it.
Basically, I discovered anime at 11.
Became rather weeby at 12.
Hit maximum overweeb mode at 13-ish.
Then I chilled the fuck out and became a normal human being.

Offenses include, but are not limited to
> Calling things 'kawaii' and using "-chan" along with the general abuse of a couple other Japanese words/phrases
> "Squeeing"
> Glomping people (but only friends who would laugh about it, at least)
> Being really loud a lot
> Drawing shit anime
> Closet Ed Elric cosplay. (colored my hand with silver sharpie because too lazy for even tinfoil automail, only did it because Vic Mi-nya-nya was at the con)
> Doing hare Hare Yukai dance at school(during lunch)
> Being lolsorandumb
> Always finding ways to reference Kingdom Hearts, which I was obsessed with all through my weeb days.


I don't give a fuck about anime or Japan anymore, and I put that shit behind me a while ago. So I'm sharing it with you guys for both a laugh, and also to give you guys hope that one day the weebs that we write our stories about will eventually grow out of it.

I still draw, but I'm actually good now.
> pic related
First picture drawn in 2005(was 12)
Second in 2008 (15)
Third a couple weeks ago, now almost 20.

Actually, I should redraw those two characters, but I'm not gonna right now because lazy.

Well, I once told a friend in confidence about all of my geekery, and together we gushed over Madoka, which aired my final year of high school. This friend started hanging out with some kids in her webpage class, a bunch of dudes in a lower grade who liked to quote peachi comics and memes.

They were semi-awkward kids who ragged on this one extremely awkward kid who would talk about how much he loved loli, kept anime pictures on his FB profile (though I can't see beyond that since I don't have one) and would make up stories about all the kawaii Japanese bitches he's made the sex with. It's only a matter of time before that kid discovers /a/.

I got asked something about a narwhal by another girl's little brother who happened to know these nerds. I figured it was some shitty forced /b/ meme. Turns out, rebbitors have a password, and by acknowledging it you are on their cool people club annoy-the-shit-out-of list. They are all actually friends and now they all think I use rebbit and am trying to hide it. One of them has asked my friend for my number and she apologized profusely to me earlier because she gave it away without thinking.

My butt really hurts.

When I was twelve years old my only aspiration was to move to Japan and become a famous mangaka, even though I pretty much exclusively drew really horrible furry porn. I also owned a silk bathrobe "kimono" and a shitty replica katana. Sometimes I would go out into the backyard in the kimono and swing the katana around.

But I'm okay now.

[Anonymous No.6640670]

I worked with a weeb once. He was thin, greasy and overall discusting. He was 25 I think and never graduared, he just went to his Japanese classes and matsuri group. I think he refused to study because that would mean he would have to stop paying for his jap classes or some shit like that.

He believed he was halfu (no, he wasn't) and he would flirt with any female japanese worker of the place. Or chinese, because there was a chinese girl there two. He would hit on any asian girl he could find, even if he knew they had boyfriends. Some of their boyfriends worked with us btw, but he didn't mind.

He also hated any girl that wasn't oriental. Since he was the boss' assistent, our boss would believe anything he said. He wanted to get any girl that wasn't asian fired, and so he would lie about us (I'm not asian, so I had to deal with that) to our boss everyday. We worked on the morning shift, and our shift worked alone for half o the day. During that time, the weeb would sleep, listen to jpop or kpop and look at pictures of asian women. Sometimes he would go to the bathroom for hours, presumably to sleep and fap.

He lied a lot to my boss about me, even if he spent the half of the day sleeping. When I left for another company, I told my boss how his assistent would sleep the entire day so he wouldn't know what I was doing.

I heard he was never fired. He is almost 30, still doesn't study, goes out with his matsuri group and studies japanese. He works on the same position for almost 10 years now (nothing good, btw. It is a costumer care position). I also heard that there are only asians there now, so he got what he wanted.

The damage a weeb can cause when they grow up with that attitude.

I was a bit of a weeaboo when I was younger, but I still managed to be surprisingly level-headed, although reading my old Livejournal makes me cringe. I don't regret it, though, and aside from the kind of shitty behaviour some weeaboos have like invasion of personal space, etc. I actually feel kind of jealous of them sometimes. They're mostly kids, having fun and being passionate about stuff and not caring if they look silly, whereas I am an old jaded adult who has to pay bills and go to work. ;_;

I knew a girl who said she spoke "Nihongo" and wrote it, just like that, on her facebook page. I learned the easiest way to fix that type is to ask them to conjugate "kawaii" or "sugoi". If they say that you can't conjugate adjectives, then you can call bullshit quickly and easily with a quick google.

/pol/ anon here.

I know it's once in a Blue moon you ever encounter us in a thread. Especially on /cgl/

But since there is a thread, I want to understand.
I want to understand the psychology of a weaboo.

What causes the self loathing? What causes the lack of interest or motivation to get into one's own culture, tradition, history or fantasy.

I was once a weaboo for a while. Around the 13-14 age, but eventually grew out of it in favour of my own people's and own nation's cultures and unique individual histories.

What causes this self rejection? What would make somebody cast aside their own unique, individual identity for another?

And why is it that the majority of weaboos are so progressive, pro multiculturalism, pro homosexuality, pro drug, pro feminist etc, yet worship incredibly traditional and conservative cultures/socities/nations.

I have a feeling I'm wrong on that though. I'm sure not every weaboo is an ultra-leftwinger

[Anonymous No.6641107]

its a bunch of socially malajusted kids latching onto something they see as different and cool and full of weirdos like them. it's less self-rejection, it tends to be more feeling rejected by others and latching onto a subculture. don't think about it so hard.

Go look at the "white people" tag on tumblr. If you are told that your race is boring and selfish and evil for long enough (whilst also being told that having pride in it is racist), you will try to abandon it, just to escape the stigma and feel special.

They really aren't that progressive though. There's a difference between accepting something and fetishizing it and when it comes to things like race and homosexuality, they definitely cross the line. They're only anti-racism when it comes to Asians and usually only anti-homophobia when it comes to young, attractive dudes like in their yaois. That or they pretend to be bisexual to get attention from the opposite sex but won't actually engage in a homosexual relationship, which most people would agree is queer baiting. As for drugs, I know a lot of super Christian/xxstraightedgexx weebs who'll jump down your throat if you so much as talk about cigarettes around them. And most weebs are definitely not feminists. Weeb girls tend to have this "I'm not like other girls, they're all sluts and bitches but I'm just like one of the guys except kawaii XD!" mentality that definitely doesn't align with feminist thought. And man, weeb dudes are just misogynistic as hell, even by my standards.

I hate Tumblr. I hate it for breeding the attitude prevalent on the net these days -- and even in places that don't agree with it, I'm reminded of it. I only get angry, and I try to avoid it, but if I start reading it then I can't pull away from the disbelief. I'm guessing I'm not the only one, since it's such a hotly discussed topic on 4chan these days, I'm only glad that for the most part this community is not in agreement with the mentality. I've had to delete people off Facebook who became SJWs overnight, constantly flooding my wall with pretentious bullshit. Why is it so hard for people to just accept each other as they are, without making a big deal of racial, cultural or religious matters? The white people of today were not responsible for the genocide or oppression of other races, just as those of a race formerly oppressed alive today are not those who had to suffer it. Do I doubt the occasion asshole will have something to say? Of course not, but that's because they are an asshole, it's not some great white agenda. Many of us have good intentions. However I feel the hate that has generated as a result of what I could only call this fad has done more harm than good in segregating and alienating people. If Tumblrites are really the educated, intelligent people they claim to be, then they should realize this on their own and stop trying to dig up something first world civilization has already tried very hard to bury.

That is different because there is action involved through your own will as opposed to being pulled out of a specific womb and raised in specific culture. There is luck and then there is genuine accomplishment.

Maybe weebs transcend the nation-centric minds of everybody else and believe they belong to the "human nation"? Or maybe "interesting and cool" are subjective and periodically changes, which would explain why you can be a former weeaboo.

>She does things like goes to Starbucks and orders coffee, tells them her name is -insert Japanese name here-, then gets upset when they question her or spell her "name" wrong.
>She works retail and wears a name tag. Said name tag says her Japanese name on it as well
>She tags most, if not all, of her (camwhore) pictures on Twitter/Instragram with "halfjapanese", "hapa", "euroasian", etc.

I don't think so.

My case back then was that I wasn't very popular and hated my society for all of the wrong reasons.

As I grew up, got involved in acting I became one of the most popular kids in my highschool, became more physically fit and better looking.

I then got involved in politics, and started to love history, played loads of grand strategy games, and now I'm proud of my people, and the cultures that my physical bodies consist of, because if it wasn't for those cultures I would not be here today.

If those cultures didn't thrive, then I would not be raised the same way that I was raised. In personality I would probably be a dramatically different person with different views on different morales, values, customs, gestures, etc.

Also this. I feel like ignorance really is bliss. During my weeby stage, I wasn't concerned about the future or finances or getting a job, I wasn't fussing over how good my cosplay was, and I was completely unaware of the harsh-judging communities, drama cows and attention whores out there.

I only look up social justice tags for the lulz. It's ridiculous how hypocritical and hateful they are. I'll be damned if I'm going to trigger warn my posts so I don't hurt some sensitive little snowflake's feelings. If you can't handle being offended then the internet is not the place for you. Stop self diagnosing yourself with mental problems and get a life outside of tumblr.

And the cancer is spreading everywhere. I got blasted by a social justice warrior on another site because I told her that if she's so concerned about sexual exploitation she should stop fussing over video games and put some effort into helping real life women who really are being sexually exploited. But apparently polygons are more important than people.

I was never a weeb. I watched Toonami and had a Deathscythe t-shirt. I bought a few anime things here and there but it wasn't my primary interest by far. I was more into gaming. And while I played a lot of JRPGs I didn't obsess over them and say they were far superior to games originating in the west. I only knew one weeb. And he was actually part Japanese. But he was so obsessed with all things Japan and so socially awkward that I couldn't stand to be around him anymore. And he never thought he was acting oddly.

That's one of the worst problems with weebs. Although I'll excuse them if they are really young. But someone in their late teens and beyond should have the sense to know how to at least try to act normal in public.

[Anonymous No.6643350]

I'm gonna come out and admit that when I was younger, I did the halfu shit before I knew better. I was learning Japanese at the time, so there was somewhat more than a string of words to corrorborate this shit to people, but I was around thirteen years old.

Then late high school rolled around and I actually had friends from more backgrounds than just the corner-of-the-classroom weebs and I felt like I was also developing a more particularity of what anime I wanted to watch while most of my other anime-watching classmates stuck to Inuyasha and Naruto. I never joined the anime club for that reason, and after just sticking to what I liked, I transitioned out of that along with the need to be a halfu.

I think the need just stemmed somewhere from wanting to be special than the common weebs, but it takes time to notice that just simply growing from that group kind of makes you a better person altogether instead.

Instead, she implies it by saying that hairdressers remark on her "Japanese" hair texture--which, if you've seen pics of Tiffy's box-dyed flyaway mess, is a whole lot of LOL NO.

I can easily forgive teenagers their weeb phase; kids come up with some pretty stupid shit while trying to work out their own identities. Thankfully, most grow out of it.

It's interesting how weeaboo level perception can change depending on where you live. Bathrobe kimono and katana practice is weeby everywhere, but something like a very strong liking for Asian snacks and food would be seen as more weeaboo by far in rural middle America than for a white kid who grew up in San Francisco or Hawaii.

I think the problem with weeaboos is cultural appropriation and fetishizing instead of being respectful about it. You can like aspects of other cultures and even incorporate some of those aspects while being true to yourself and your roots, but when you start to see Asia as a glorious special exotic unknown rather than a continent with tons of people who are more or less like you and a grouping of tons of different cultures, this is where sugoi baka kawaii desu taking fake purikura at the Chinese buffet happens.

I would never admit this on tumblr, but I think having a strong family tradition, even if you're white, actually promotes respect and health rather than racism. White people being taught that they have "no culture" is wrong. It leaves you feeling like a tree with no roots. Learning about your own family and their histories and traditions leaves you grounded and more able to respect someone else's culture instead of rejecting your own and appropriation of whatever feels exotic and speshul.

Surely giving a trigger warning (In the exception of explicit descriptions of awful things) Is much worse. Surely people with triggers instantaneously think of what triggers them every time they see a trigger warning, even if it's not for something that triggers them?

[Anonymous No.6644096]

>>6644085
A trigger isn't just a thing you don't want to think about, it's a flashback. And while I'm sure some can be triggered that easily, most are triggered by details. For instance, I knew a girl who could hear the word "rape" and not care, but she couldn't handle being in a bed with red satin sheets, because she was raped in such a bed. But, of course, she wouldn't tell people not to mention those things around her, she just made it clear to hotel staff and boyfriends and such that she needed that accommodation. She was seeking psychiatric help, as well.

On tumblr, they use triggers to mean "makes me mad" or "grosses me out". So people will trigger warn stupid things like "pictures of meat" and "talk of menstruation". Because there are lots of people who watched their loved ones be murdered with steak and tampons, I suppose.

[Anonymous No.6644123]

>>6644096
I understand and know all of this, and none of it relates to my post at all.

If someone with trigger sees "Trigger warning" They are going to think if what specifically triggers them, whether or not the post carrying the warning contains it or not. Therefore trigger warnings are triggering to everyone with a trigger. Do you get it now?

[Anonymous No.6644138]

Each needs to believe it is special, so they actively discourage the opinions associated with other tribes. Don't be too antitheist, or they'll call you a redd, don't be too PC, they'll call you tumb. It's a way to differentiate themselves. A way to feel better than the people of tumblr, overcome by White guilt.

None of it is a big deal, of course. But, they are our opposing tribe, we must make it out to be a big deal. Much like a presidential race.

To this day, I still lament and blame myself for enabling all of them...one day at AC I introduced Hetalia. This was right before it got huge. Because of me, I fucking created multiple monsters. Emily lived her life like she was in an anime and was obsessed with ~*Doitsu*~. In my locker I had pics of various things I liked and one was of Hetalia, she'd walk past and then just stand there staring at Germany for 2 mins. Anything that she could relate back to Germany or Hetalia, she'd do it. In Hetalia there's a scene where Germany is trying to hide in..France? But he gets caught because he mashes his boiled potatoes up instead of cutting them. At the end of that year the grade took a trip to DC and Emily ended up being in my room group. She was really irritating the entire time and right at the start of the trip, she dropped my friend's camera and broke it. (she also ended up losing my camera at a con later on...) At the end of the trip a large group of us went to a French restaurant and my particular meal came with potatoes. For whatever reason I offered some to Emily. My room group was really tired and irritated that day and couldn't take anymore of her shit...she started spazzing out and going "DOES ANYONE HAVE A FORK?! FORK? I NEED TO MASH THEM UP LIKE DOITSU!!!" I was so fed up I snapped her and told her to just use pick one the fuck up and eat it normally and that she doesn't "need" to mash anything. She shut up with her ~*Doitsu*~ crap after that.

The other weebs are a lot more interesting. There's two that we'll call Tess and Jen. Tess has this really strange manface... one day during the AC I was trying to tell people to just be a little bit quieter and not as fucking obnoxious and while I was talking, for whatever reason Tess interpreted this as me telling everyone they could never speak ever or raise their hand to ask a question while someone else is talking, because all of a sudden I notice her scowling at me as she slipped underneath an art table and was crawling away to go to the bathroom. Now in school I see her still weebing away. She wears this ugly seifuku to school and according to FB, she's bought some Milanoo-tier "lolita" dresses. Also friends with Jen, another mega weeb. Once again, weebs with weird bodies - what is up with that? She carries a lot of her weight in the bottom half so she's pear shaped...but not the good kind of pear shape. She's fat but I wouldn't quite call her a hambeast. But she wears Russia cosplay to school and his obsessed with Romano. She either buys shoddy premade cosplays or puts together really shitty ones. like this grandma romano or whatever cosplay. (no idea since I stopped watching APH after I enabled the weebs) Also has this crazy obsession with gay rights and I'm 95% sure it stems from her love of APH yaoi. (which she liked the FB fanpage of despite being friends with her dad on FB that comments on everything she does.)
Meh, none of them are as bad as the ones people have talked about, they're just really goddamn annoying.

Funny story, I knew someone that tried to call bullshit on my half-Japanese friend's heritage, until they met her grandparents, who pretty much only speak Japanese majority of the time and stay in the Japantown neighborhood only. It's no wonder all the elders of the neighborhood aren't comfortable with the weeaboos that hang around there much.

I used to be a weeaboo (liked everything Japanese but never went to the level of claiming to be one) until I befriended this friend. It's also fun to talk to her because I get to talk to her about my own heritage with her that we share. I never get people that cosplay or wear shitty satin robes during Obon out of all things...

Also I hear Electric Lady is 1/4 Japanese? Many half or mixed Japanese people I knew tend to not cosplay...

Well. I'm actually half-Japanese.
But I went through a typical weeb stage too, around 8th grade, adding "-chans" and whatever shit, suddenly taking an interest in obento, saying random Japanese phrases. But I got to go to Japan and could actually speak some real Japanese, so I was like some sort of weaboo idol at school. I always thought "WELL I'M ACTUALLY JAPANESE SO I'M NOT A WEABOO IT DOESN'T COUNT LAWLZ ;3"
I started to realize that I looked dumb after a while, even if some people thought I was cool.
I think if I was white or even some other sort of Asian, I probably wouldn't have been such a huge loser.

When I was in the 8th grade, I wore a naruto headband to school for one day.

I think that's honestly the worst thing I did. When I was even younger, I used kawaii sometimes.
In 9th grade, I went to anime club and realized what bullshit it was. They wanted us to learn that hare something dance and when we went to the Hibachi they screamed 'itakimasu'. The anime they played sucked and they didn't care about what anyone else wanted to watch. They talked the entire time and were really rude to us freshmen. The one girl hated y friend and I and actually sat at the Hibachi dinner and talked shit about us while we just sat there at the end of the table.
After that I left.
I guess I should be thanking them. I can't imagine how I would've turned out, otherwise!

I just started uni, and while getting a coffee these two blonde girls asked if I'd like to sit with them. I don't normally want to talk to people but whatever, they seem nice and I can't be rude. So they start with the usual talk, what you're studying etc. Turns out we have one of the same classes.
One of the girls says my shirt is really cool, that she's seen the artwork on DeviantArt (Disney Princesses pulling faces) And asks where I got it. I say I got it in Japan. This is where I should of shut up. The other girl instantly piped up and joined in, asking all kinds of questions and what my favourite part was. In my stupidity I said the anime and gaming stores.
Oh man. She asked if I went to the recent convention and what I dressed up as. She started going on about how living in Japan is her dream, and that she loves Hetalia and her OTP and she can do all the voices! She imitated characters from the show and talking about her OTP like there was nothing else in the world. She even told me which other people in the community were her friends (All huge weebs that I avoid like the plague).
Luckily she was silent all through the class but god, I'm going to have to see her in that class for the rest of the semester. Kill me, please.

I discovered anime when I was about 10 years old. This was the mid nineties when cable TV was good and I was an obsessive viewer of the Sci-Fi channel. It was through Sci-Fi's "Saturday Anime" that I was first introduced to Japanese Animation. What was the first anime I ever saw?

Akira.

This has colored my perception of the medium ever since.

Well, recently I decided to give anime another chance. Partly because I felt I needed to branch out a bit, and partly because the anime fandom has a higher concentration of girls than other fandoms. I joined an area anime club. Big mistake.

They were terrible, annoying, they watched nothing but harem shit and they were some of the worst human beings I have ever associated with. I'll list here, out of context just a few of the things I witnessed while attending the club.
>A club leader tearing down and throwing away flyers for a "rival" anime club. In full view of the owner of the comic shop where we were meeting. This led to us being kicked out of that venue.
>At this same comic book shop, the group would orbit around the store in a whirlwind of shrieking, shelf-wrecking Weebness.
>A 45 year old man being informed he wasn't welcome in the club any longer because he had been sending sexually explicit PMs to a 14 year old girl on our group Forum.
>A local Japanese tea shop and restaurant agreed to let us meet there. They stayed open an hour later on meeting days just for us. Very few club members bought anything. Instead they went to the asian grocer next door. Passing up hot, homemade ramen for the store-bought crap.

This whole experience gave me an extreme distaste for the whole anime subculture in general. The anime relevant to my interests are things like Ghost in the Shell, Armitage III or Akira. They are few and far between.

About this time I discovered that 2000 AD and European comics are more relevant to my interests anyway. So I read Judge Dredd now and I'm happier for it.

I learned fluent Japanese in elementary school, due to my grandparents being Japanese. My mom was adopted, so my entire immediate family is white as fuck, but we visited Japan every summer when I was a kid, and lived there a year when my dad was stationed there. I was really little, so I don't remember much of the actual place, but the language stuck because I still speak it with my mom at home or when I call my grandparents.

One time I went to an anime club ("Asian Pop Culture Club") because I had a vague interest in a few manga (mostly just Junji Ito stuff). the president of the club was the king of weebs. He wore a naruto headband around his neck every day, had long greasy hair hidden under a fedora, and refused to actually do anything to raise money for the club.

I remember him claiming he could speak Japanese, when someone asked him to give an example he started spewing out jibberish. It was halfway convincing jibberish littered with a few real words, but it was obvious he was acting to fool everyone.

Most people were actually fooled, too. I didnt say anything for weeks, but finally I got tired of his bullshit and confronted him by speaking it. He got really red and didnt say anything.

It wasn't very climactic, but it was funny to see him get embarrassed like that.

Well the latter three are shorties so I'll do em all at once.

Weeb Cliques
My school was pretty large, so we ended up with multiples of some groups, including weebs. Not sure exactly how many small circles we had, they all came to the same anime club though...except one. The anime club was full of the typical weeb, aka loud, chatty, and generally obnoxious. This lone group was more like the stereotype nerds. Pale, either extremely scrawny or very fat, disproportionate amount of gingers, though all of them wore some kind of anime plastic cosplay shit to school every day, like a ninja band or that stupid claw necklace thing. Their tastes in anime were different too, they liked Inuyasha, Naruto, and Bleach almost exclusively while the rest of us watched anything raunchy and gory. They had the same lunch period as my group and would watch us silently from across the cafeteria, even if we got up to get food they'd keep staring. Really unnerving because they never even seemed to talk amongst themselves. Trying to include them in our conversation never seemed to work, they seemed really disturbed by any of our tastes in anime (not even anything that obscure or disturbing, I'm talking Hellsing, Trinity Blood and goddamn Chobits).
After a while we realized something was really up with them, because every time we tried to watch certain shows in anime club, that would be the night the teacher would decide to stay with us and watch. Turns out they were actually telling someone we were watching porn and shit whenever we mentioned these 'innapropriate' series to them.

Right now at least from what I'm seeing there's this big thing about mainstream and the way Flips look at cosplay that really sorta rustles their jimmies. There's this local TV show about Science which manages to shoehorn cosplaying and weaboo stuff in it but not that much that has a small featurette on best cosplays. Here comes the weaboo crowd posting their half-assed costumes and the "proud otaku" guys "defending" their hobby "to express, and not to impress". Resulting in the show's Fan Page being flooded with idiocy (although some of the troll entries/photoshops there are hilarious as fuck)

Yes, they actually use "Proud" and "Otaku" in the same sentence for pete's sakes.

I've encountered a lot of those "Proud Otaku" a lot of times. They make random anime pages at facebook and keep spamming us with "The difference of Otaku and Weabo" posts (and denying that theyre big weabos). They also appear at cosplay events and hug cosplayers while smelling like shawarma.

And the "to express, and not to impress" is used as an excuse for their shitty, half-assed cosplays in my opinion. Most of them cant even tell the difference between a cosplay and a Halloween costume.

i dont think I was ever a huge obnoxious weaboo, first japanese thing I ever liked was Resident Evil, and that's aimed at white people too so yeah.. Used to watch dragonball, gundam and ghost in the shell when it was on tv, liked to draw stuff from that, I liked Death Note too but mostly for the art style, I like drawing more realistic looking stuff.. I have manga and stuff that I bought mostly for reference pics, planning to sell most of it though, except my black lagoon ones.. I have figures too, like RE figures and dbz ones and a Motoko. I've been to one con but I've never actually cosplayed anything, and cons arent really my thing, too expensive and kinda pointless idk

Holy fuck that image. Agreed on your post fully. What grates at me the most are those "difference between east and west" shit they post a lot and then later on post stuff about Adventure Time. Stupid fucks can't make up their minds.

Although admittedly I was, as with some of the others, a weeb back in high school. Shook it off on college though after a change in environment and a few good friends.

[Anonymous No.6657651]

>>6657296
Ok lets get to it.

Some background: At this point I'm 19, never had a date, convinced I'm unwanted and forever alone, obsessed with bdsm and goth, and now into dolls.

The doll forum I was a member of had a chatroom, on which I was a regular. It attracted mostly weebly females, because of the anime-like look of the dolls and the roleplaying potentail of them. There were occasional guys though. Some totally normal collectors, some who were just in it to get some of dat sweet sad weeb tail, and then there was this guy. I'm going to call him Andrew, because he looks like someone slapped Andrew Zimmern in the face with a 2x4.

Andrew was pretty quickly embraced by the chatroom regulars for his friendlyness and for not being horribly creepy basically. It doesn't take much to impress this crowd. He made some pretty fast friends at any rate. He seemed especially friendly towards myself, another girl, and a 12 year old boy who also used the chat. After a while we all were comfortable with each other, and would chat about weird shit late at night. One woman was sharing a story about one of her gigs (pro dominatrix), and he brings up how some women were 'all over him' at a bondage club.

A straight guy, into dolls and bondage? Sounded like a dream man to my screwed up anime riddled brain. I started asking him questions about bdsm related things, thinking he was this expert as he went to the club every month. He offered to mentor me on things, which I gladly accepted. The mentoring turned into flirting, and then he started ending every conversation with 'I love you'.

I will admit now, I was unhappy at home. I didn't love this guy back. But he was a way for me to get out of my house and have an 'adventure' so I gladly hopped on it. This is when he started letting out all the crazy. For brevity I'll just greentext it.

>Wants me to move in with him as soon as possible
>Selling his 90s Hot Wheels collection for plane fare
>Renames me to celebrate the 'new me'
>talks about me in chat but refers to me as his pony
>Polyamorous

That last one is important. One day he starts talking about his 'significant other'. It confused me, but asking didn't really get me anywhere. Then one day after looking at a picture I sent, he goes "My wife says she likes your eyebrows."

So now I am introduced to the wife. Same as him, but female. To the point where if it weren't for people having met her, I'd have thought it was him faking it. I am to be his 'pet' but she wants to borrow me occasionally. Not that into it, but I want out of the house, so go with it.

We start talking on the phone now. He meows and purrs and growls. He also sounds kind of like the Popsicle guy from Family Guy. This confuses me, I'm under impression he's in his late 20s.

>NOPE
>38 MOTHERFUCKER
>Might I remind you I'm 19

He starts asking me to send things to him like a braided chunk of my hair, he sends back things like my 'collar' which is a bit of wood on a cord, with a drop of his blood on it. He wants me to catch a ride with his brother rather than take a plane. His brother who does not know what he is into, does not know my age, does not know I'm his 'pet', I have never spoken to this guy, and its a complete East coast to West coast drive that will take at least a week.

Andrew has also, at this point, tried to convince me my allergies are actually the result of my mom poisoning me, that my best friend is a terrible hacker that makes people kill themselves because said friend goes on /b/ (said friend also turned down a foursome with this guy, hence the hatred), and that I should bear his children because his wife can't. This is four months into the relationship

There are a million tiny things he has done that have weirded me out or irritated me, but I never reacted. But one day, I'm not even sure why, I just snapped. He was going on about how no one in my family loved me like he did. No one cared enough to get me medical attention, etc, but he would see that I got all this and that. And just suddenly I remembered how he's so goddamn broke he's selling his shitty toy cars to buy a one way ticket (grand total of $190),that I just fucking lost it on him. Bitched him out, told him how fucking stupid he was, that he's an old fucking creep perving on girls, that my family fucking loves me. He tries to apologize, tells me everything will be fine once we get together.

"Don't you love me Cassie?(fakeass nickname he gave me)"

>BITCH'
>THAT IS NOT MY FUCKING NAME

He logs off. His wife logs on. He is crying, she says. Why would I make him cry, I am a terrible person. I should apologise and make up, or I am not allowed to come there next month. I ignore her.

A few days later, joined a new doll forum. Find out there is unrelated drama regarding him and the 12 year old kid on the chatroom. I add my story, some friends add details, including a photo of him. I did not post this photo. I did not even have this photo on my computer. But someone tells him I posted it, and that I am a stalking lying bitch.

I find this hilarious.

My best friend and I watch as he systematically deletes fucking everything, pulls pictures that so much as show him in the far background, stops posting everywhere. He blocks me on every site. He, however, is kind of retarded and doesn't know how the internet works, so can't get rid of the stuff posted about him.

Story more or less ends here I guess. He's still convinced I am stalking him, yet my only stalking attempts are for lulz just to see what shitty security he has on shit (My facebook? Blocked. Facebook with slightly flipped around name, shoop of self as dude? Approved in a heartbeat). Funny thing is, I now live in the same area with my current bf, so odds are we'll run into each other.

Flipanon too, living in the US. I think the thing that knocked the weeb out of me the hardest was when I told my grandma that I wanted to learn Japanese. She said she had to learn Japanese when she was younger so she could negotiate with the soldiers occupying the Philippines during WWII.

[Anonymous No.6658543]

>>6658530
Yeah, having grandparents and relatives who lived through ww2 tends to do that. I admit I used to be a fairly weeby kid (I was that one kid in class who was always drawing random animu shit in her notes), but I never showed it to my grandma because she strongly disapproved of it, though fortunately she kept quiet about my animu-watching habits.

I can tell you though that the Philippines is weeb central, we have cons pretty much every month (all of them centered in the city), people cosplay in book fairs (no, I don't know why, cosplaying anime characters in book fairs? book characters yes, but animu...), wear anbu cloaks or PoT hoodies like it's nbd inside stores or wherever, a lot of fastfood-type japanese restaurants use anime illustrations all over the place. Though it can be pretty amusing when any person on the street can easily identify characters in Naruto or One Piece or Slam Dunk.

I've been into anime for years, done some cosplaying...was going to cons before the 2000s.

I don't really mind weaboos to be honest, I hate elitists more than weaboos. Weaboos are just extroverted nerds, I find them kinda funny and cool in a sense. Their nonchalant ways amuse me and it's nice to see some crazy characters in the anime seen, I would hate for it to be boring and stuffy. Even before the dot com boom the people who loved anime were 'embarassing' but that's what makes it so great.

I know they piss people off and do bad things but I find that funny too if I'm honest, I'm the type of person who laughs when someone offends someone else.

They're alright though really, just different. I can't hate, I don't think I've ever hated weaboos in my life. Everytime I hear one misusing Japanese or something I get slightly agitated but I know that it's REALLY pissing off someone else so it makes me happy again.

I used to be a weeaboo as well, going into my gr.9 and 10 years.. I was only friends with asian girls and would mention anime in the first conversation to see if they watched it too.. It was pretty embarrassing, I would watch Inuyasha like no tomorrow and was obsessed with Sesshoumaru..

It would get to the point where I would pretend to be all quiet and cunning like he was.. oh god the shame....
I used to carry my mom's garden ornament which was a frog around and call it Jaken.. I was also ugly at the time, no makeup, hair was long and greasy, thin but no figure at all and didn't know how to dress myself.
Finally grew out of it and became a little more normal throughout high school.

Still like to cosplay today but spend a lot of time and money putting things together.

I try to be polite when I talk to him but I can't stand his rude, obnoxious behavior. I mean, I like anime and all but if the creators can't get basic anatomy down, I will rarely watch give it a chance.

I offered him one of the cookies the culinary department made, it had this really tangy cream on top but if you ate it with the cookie it was really good. I was being nice and offered him to try one. I turn my back for one minute and the next thing I know, he's yelling about how awful it is.
