What's the etymology of 'weeaboo', by the way ?

>> No.6599243

If you don't know the origin of "weeaboo", then you don't know SHIT about the Internet.

>> No.6599244

"
buy weeaboo mugs, tshirts and magnets
A game whereby the one who is caught saying the word weeaboo must be chained to a pipe and paddled by all around him/her. Those with the paddles must chant weeaboo until the paddling is finished and the one chained to a pipe is released."

Originates arbitrarily from a Perry Bible Fellowship comic strip wherein a man was paddled by a crowd chanting "Weeaboo! Weeaboo!"

Apparently.

It's a nonsense word from this comic.

Because if 4chan wastes any more time on weeaboo, it will go out of business.

it was an old wordfilter on /b/, wapanese=weeaboo
jesus, why am I explaining this

You can blame moot for the context of the word you are thinking of.

But seriously if you were not around when the word wapanese was being used on /b/ every 5 secounds then you should probably lurk for another 5 years before posting.

>> No.6599286

They have a motherfucking encyclopedia for this shit and you still feel the need to ask /jp/ about it.

For fuck's sake.

It's not like your time or the last thread on page 15 are precious.

>> No.6599363

>>6599350
Yes, the last thread on the last page was very important to me.

>> No.6599380

I remember when "weeaboo" was nothing more than just a filter word for Wapanese which in itself was a term used to describe people who went out of their way to be Japanese.

Now suddenly people assume I wanna be Japanese when in reality all I really care about is the shit they produce.

Oh how things have changed.

You watch japanese cartoons about japanese speaking japanese people doing japanese things in japan.

At the point you're now, you're a weeaboo no matter how you look at it. Stop trying to look edgy and different on your facebook, poser.

I was watching Japanese cartoons before I even knew they were Japanese.

It may be before your time but we had this thing called Toonami that showed anime and cartoons from 3pm to 6pm back in the 90s.

Although I was around when the wordfilter was in effect, it has never become clear to me what the idea behind filtering wapanese with weeaboo was. Was it just lolrandum?
