OH YOU SILLY JANITORS, DO YOU REALLY THINK I CARE ABOUT A THREAD DELETE? I AM BEHIND 7 PROXYS.

Weeaboos are the new furries.

Furries and weeaboos lurk on the internet in groups of their sub-culture, making sure to drown out any outside influences in a self-congratualatory environment.
Both go to cons to re-affirm their belief that they are not alone in their choices, and thus feel validated about their way of life.
Both claim to 'feel love' for something that isn't even human. Claiming you love an anime character isn't different from loving an antromorphic wolf.
Both sub-cultures like to take potshots at mainstream society without participating in it.
Both have their own vague hierarchical systems, not based on income, friends or status, but based on animes watched, figures owned, knowledge of Japanese language and such.
Both groups are extremely closed, making sure to drown all non-conformists and sources of critique.

Disprove me with actual arguments, without using the following:
sage
reaction images
posts that are just greentext
accusations of trolling
tripfag

Wait. What kind of weeaboos are we talking about here? Those children who watch naruto and are all like NIHONGO WA ICHIBAN UGUU~~, or those who are mentally ill and fall in love with fictional characters?

I don't really think the latter counts as a weeaboo though. But one thing you missed though, was the way furries go; "I AM A WOLF, I LOVE WOLVES MORE THAN I LOVE HUMANS SO THAT MAKES A WOLF! YOU'RE JUST A FASCIST WHO etc. etc." while those who are obsessed with anime characters most likely do not believe they are anime characters themselves, yes?

Right now I'm studying japanese, japanese history and I'm following Bushido, the way of the warrior. This is why I hate weeaboos that know 5 words in japanese and use them all the time, kawaai baka DESU NE MOTHERFUCKER. I'm actually trying to become Japanese for real unlike all these faker wees.

Yes, but that is the only common factor between these two example groups. It's not as much as weeaboos and furries are mentally ill and live in a delusional world created by their own sub-cultural hierarchy, it's just that most fuck-ups are delusional about themselves and may some times think that a sub-cultural group such as the furries is a proper community for them to satisfy their sense of belonging.

By the time a person reaches their teenage years they are expected to conform with "normalcy", they are supposed to give up comic books and cartoons and in the case of boys focus exclusively on girls, sports, and cars. Anyone who does not conform to this "normal" behavior is subject to ridicule until they conform. Which is what you are attempting.

At this point anyone who chooses to live freely the way they desire becomes a sub-culture that will exist only while being ridiculed by mainstream culture. Be it 'trekkies', 'weeaboos', or even a lover of ballet. I have received ridicule for enjoying reading books because kids my age in high school couldn't imagine someone actually ENJOYING to read. I needed to conform to social normal behavior and spend my time comparing cars and bashing other guys in football.

All you are trying to accomplish is affirming your own behavior as "normal" and any outlying behavior as "abnormal" in order to justify your place in society but try as you might you cannot change the minds of others who do not agree with you on what constitutes normal behavior.

Your statement it somewhat flawed, and clearly a troll, but I'm bored so I'll address it anyway.

Let's first discuss the certain weeaboos that are hated by their own kind. This category largely includes yaoi fangirls (and pussywhipped fanboys who go along with it), naive jackasses who just discovered naruto, and people who think mixing 4chan with real life is a good idea (rare exceptions including cosplaying as "successful trolls")

Let us assume that simply visiting 4chan defines you as a weeaboo.

In this case, I would strongly disagree with your statement and ask that some distinction be made between the different tiers of weeaboo.

Personally I wouldn't mind if you made that comparison and held that belief, since you'd be in the minority.

If anything it just sounds like another way to blindly hold contempt for a subculture without comparing it to one's own values and deciding if it's worthy of one's contempt.

But I disgress,

Feeling love for anything or anyone that does not/cannot return that love is the same as love of a fictional being. Claiming you love a celebrity isn't different from loving an anime character or anthropomorphic wolf.

That said, I agree my definition of weeaboo has been relatively vague. Of course there are varying shades of gray here. Just because you like anime does not mean you are a reclusive faggot who cannot handle talking to real people. The term is simply to vague for a single definition.

I am not making accusations at /jp/ in general but at specific people in it. If you feel that the definition of weeaboo I apply doesn't include you then it probably doesn't.

>Feeling love for anything or anyone that does not/cannot return that love is the same as love of a fictional being. >Claiming you love a celebrity isn't different from loving an anime character or anthropomorphic wolf.

Claiming you have actual love for a celebrity is indeed not much healthier than 'being in love with' a fictional character. The difference is that most people have a crush on a celebrity, instead of being in love with them.

>The same can be said of any sub-culture, or just young people in general.

This is true, but weeaboo's and furries tend to be more aggresive against mainstream society than average teenagers would be.

>Every group has this. New people are at the bottom, whereas more experienced and mature people are at the top.

This is a fair point, almost all social groups have some kind of picking order.

>If someone critiqued your lifestyle, the most it's likely going to accomplish is piss you off and waste your time.

You can also have the impression that there's lots of people on 4chan like this, but if they anything those types of people just stand out more because of how outspoken they are about the things they like.

Not only that, but often people will say things like that in jest, because it's part of the big inside joke that liking x thing on 4chan means you're an adamant participant in a sort of 'Loser Olympics'.

I think you could have worded it better if you wanted more civil replies, though I can't blame you for wording it the way you did to guarantee responses.

>why do you think they call it a 'mental sickness'?
Because it is not the norm in society.
Why is Sickle Cell Anemia called a disease when it's a nucleic polymorphism just like White Skin?
That's how bad society wants conformity. Even if more than 99.9% of your DNA is the same as the rest of humanity, if parts of the remaining .1% aren't considered "normal," you have a "disability" or a "disease."
Lactose intolerance is considered as a genetic condition, when it is actually the wild phenotype. Lactose intolerance functions as a natural way to wean young off of their mother's milk to force them to feed themselves; lactose TOLERANCE is the mutation.

This whole thing is an exercise in futility.
Give it up, accept that neither side will budge or relent. And that the fact that not allowing sage as part of the discussion speaks clearly of the true nature of OP. After all, what kind of poster still believes that sage is a negative action when it does nothing?

Besides, you can say the same about any subculture. Just because you happen to have come in contact with two of them and found similarities doesn't mean that every single one of them are the same, nor that every member sticks to such stereotypes. It's a void argument, and it doesn't deserve to be continued.

There's probably shades of gray between say, liking an anthromorphic character like Daffy Duck and wearing a fursuit also.

In either case, if your argument's essentially "Weeabos are similar to furries. And, like furries we should hold contempt for them." then there really isn't anything to discuss.

People with 'weeabo' tendencies have always existed in anime fandom, they're just now having a trendy name attributed to them.

Also, can't really have this discussion without agreeing on a definition for weeabo. By it's origin it's supposed to refer to a white person who likes Japanese culture so much that they want to be Japanese. Nowadays though you'll see people interchange it with the word otaku.

If anything, this is a stark example of ignorance inherent in the anime community; by its origins otaku was never meant to be used as a term of endearment, and now it feels like the word weeabo is getting that treatment(though usually when spouted by people unaware of its origin).

Weeaboos are the source of a large part of 4chan's culture and memes. Furries are only part of it because when we see them, we desire to inflict exterminatus upon our planet to purge heresy. However, to try to separate 4chan from it's weeaboo roots is like trying to have icing without the cake.

Owns and anime related figure: Not weeaboo
Owns a room full of anime related figures: Weeaboo

Watches anime occasionally: Not weeaboo
Watches anime for several hours a day: Weeaboo

Likes a character, possibly collecting (fan)art: Not weeaboo

Owns an anime t-shirt: Not weeaboo
Owns an anime body pillow: Weeaboo

I agree completely. You can't say you like regular sized breasts, dislike touhou, claim to not be socially withdrawn, or actually talk about general Japanese topics without screams of bloody murderer. Sadly though, by posing as neets as opposed to actually being neets we're in fact enabling this type of behavior. That's not to say it's not funny to poke fun at neet-ism by saying outlandish neet things though!

/jp/.

OP is referring to the classic NEET that you see on /jp/. That means self-delusional, selfish, anime/eroge obsessed leech to society.

If you are a man who has a passive interest in anime/VNs then I don't think he has any problem with you and you can go on your merry way with a smile.

I'm going to go ahead and outspond and say that if weeabos are excessive and irrational within their hobby then yes, they are similar to furries in that aspect.

They may have not garnered as much baseless contempt, but they would get their fair share of flak just for being irrational. The contempt for furries is actually pretty hard to top though, so I couldn't agree that weeabos are the new furries, though I will concede that on some level they get they are similar in being irrational and garnering contempt.

Weaboos hate furries since they originated in the same place. That place being the Cartoon/Fantasy Organization. Furries and early japanimation fans originated here!
