For my /fa/ nerds who like Chinese cartoons and hide their power level well.
Answer the following:
> your country, region optional
> anime, mango or vidya?
> how do your neckbeard/legbeard counterparts treat you when you attend clubs/events
I notice that weebs are hostile to people who look 'too mainstream' for nerd culture. I'd love being friends since I had the traditional weeb upbringing, but it seems I'm on the end of various shit tests to prove my loyalty as a fan.
Joke is on them of course, I hate my life too much to be passionate about any one show now and am perfectly fine watching moeshit alone in my jawwdins.

im pretty much hostile to people who exclaim they enjoy anime but theyre top 5 are eva akira etc - a list that /a/ mods would delete on sight for trolling, but for some reason these list are exclusively found on fa

I don't really associate with the type of people that hate on others because they don't look the part of a nerd. Just because you like anime/videogames doesn't mean you have to be a disgusting and greasy fedorian.

i'm lucky enough to have made friends with people who like weeb shit but are also pretty well socially adjusted. two of them are actually pretty into fashion as well, so that's cool. i've never tried to hide my weeb tendencies, (i spend a lot of free time watching animu, i read manga during class breaks, hell i even go to cons sometimes) but i'm not in your face about it.

>>9855279
check out these youtube playlists, see the error of your ways. if you can look past the video quality they really help to illustrate the sheer level of detail put into eva. it is my personal favorite anime, but i think the biggest reason is that every time i watch it i notice some new detail or bit of lore i'd never picked up on before. i mean how many other anime can still be discussed with this level of detail nearly twenty years after their release?

I wish I had a friend who I could casually watch anime with and who could give me suggestions on shows etc, but it seems like either you live for the shit or you just don't care at all.

Wouldn't label myself as a weeb tho, I've only seen stuff like Cowboy Bebop, Space Dandy, Attack on Titan, Avatar/Korra and movies like Akira and Howl's Moving Castle but I've really, really enjoyed those that I've seen.

The few weebs I've met are always into some obscure and overly Japanese stuff and once you revel that you like anime they'll never leave you the fuck alone, they're also awkward as hell and can't hold a normal, everyday conversation without derailing into some weird shit.

They fucking hate it, esp the "hardcore fans" but truth is I probably watch and read much more than them since theyre mostly ecchi/shounen/fanservicetrash. I hate hanging around with them or even be associated with them. First (and last probly) time I went to a con was this year at Polymanga and it left me with a bitter taste of disgust I cant even start to describe. Fuck "otakus" and weeaboos, if you like manga and anime thats cool just dont go around and try to shove that shit down other peoples throat or use stupid sentences in japanese. I just never say I like anime/manga to anyone I meet because of the fear of being associated with such retards.

I like most all nerd shit except superhero stuff. I like the mythos but can't stand the comics or movies.

When I go drafting I usually make zero friends because I'm not catty during the draft and don't smell bad (I've actually seen guys tip fedoras at FNM). Two of my friends like the exact same games and anime as me, so it's nice bouncing recommendations and opinions off each other. We all hide it amongst other people though.

I think this recent trend of super bold anime shirts is pretty fucking lame. Like I know you're just crying for attention but are too lame to have a personality when you wear that shit.
