Do you use terms like kawaii and moe in public?

I do, as I'm not afraid to show my power level.

>> No.2767867

I have never uttered a weeabooism out loud and I don't plan on starting now.

You're not afraid to show that your power level is unabashedly low?

"moe" (萌) is nearly mainstream in Chinese youth nowadays, so yeah, sure I use it.

What the fuck are you smoking? The pop culture definition of kawaii has minimal connection to the original expression which probably did come from China (可爱). 卡哇伊 isn't 可爱, your tones would have to be hella fucked up to pronounce 可爱 that way.

I have revealed some power level in hopes of finding someone with a similar power level but that shit backfired. I met one okay guy but he isn't as diverse as me so we can only talk about anime (and he watches everything while I watch only certain things).

I spout weeaboo nihongo shit whenever my sister is around because she gets fucking pissed off every time I do.

>> No.2769239

>>2769211
I've done that, bit differently, and it worked.
My trick is talking to them as if they should know what I know, casually, humans instantly try to put up with the pressure. One time, a study friend gave me his usb to put some anime in it since he knew I had a huge collection, but I gave him an extra, all Touhou games, I told him I had given him the Touhou games (as if he obviously knew about them). Suddenly we were playing SWR on netplay and he loved them, he even beat my high scores ;_;.

Same here.
I had the mistake of describing myself as an anime otaku during class once. The result isn't pretty, the prof didn't know what otaku meant and asked me to explain it and then there's a wiseass that explained that otaku means man in japanese. Then I noticed that literally the whole row of seat I'm sitting in is empty expect me.
Needless to say I dropped out of that class and enrolled in a different subject.

One time that anime guy was selling a Mikuru figure to this other guy I've seen around. The buyer was all like, "I love Mikuru." and I was like, "Fuck your moeblob." The anime guy explained to him that I was a Nagato fan.

That shit happened to so spontaneously that it surprised me.
