I refuse to associate with Wapanese people IRL, although being Asian I do have a number of Asian friends who have Eastern associations. Most of these are dietary (everyone loves toting their cuisine), I think the only anime we've ever watched is Trigun and that was back in middle school.

Other than that, pretty much everyone I know plays Guilty Gear and loves its music.

Back when I had friends, well, they were mostly niggers, and I guess semi-weeaboos. They watched fucking Sailor Moon and talked about how in Japan they were naked when they transformed. I was like wtf because they used to rag on me for watching Power Rangers past the first season (not long past, of course). The half-white one was pretty awesome and watched good shit like Ninja Scroll. And many years ago there was a Muslim on the next block who had bootleg subbed DBZ movies years before DBZ ever got big. They showed like heavily edited Saiyan Saga episodes on network TV on Saturday mornings back then, but nothing else... long before Toonami. And of course we all loved martial arts movies and thought ninjas were the most awesome thing ever and all that shit but no weeabooism beyond that really. I've had no human contact outside my immediate family for 5 or 6 years now so they might all be full on weeaboos now, or they might all be dead. Who knows?

I have a friend that goes to cons and watches mostly dubs (only time he hasn't is Death Note), and he suppresses his power level very well. We don't even talk about it much as we have both experienced the horror of KAWAII DESU NE? women and Narutards.

As a tiny Isohunt .OGM downloader and Anime Network weeaboo, I did have a Naruto-obsessed girl in 8th grade once. I said I watched Eureka 7 & Full Metal Panic and she didn't know what the hell they were. She had one of those headbands and cosplayed as Sakura for Halloween. Holy shit, I avoided her like the plague.

I had some online friends that I have been grooming into perfect weeaboo allies. I made them watch Haruhi, Death Note, Gurren Lagann, Kanon, and Clannad. I got one of them to watch Gunbuster and Diebuster, but the other one is too lazy. I also got the non-lazy one to play Planetarian, Touhou, and Clannad.

I have another one I have been working on, but he is a lost cause. I converted him from Bleach dub to Bleach subs, but he doesn't have any more potential.

Eh I've known a few, but most of them are Asian and according to stereotype, every Asian must know every other Asian in the hivemind, which I don't fit exactly due to my "reclusive" nature if you know what I mean. Some of the people I've met have a pretty decent power level, so I can hold a nice conversation without mashing my head into the walls. Yet I've found nary a soul who really knew what Touhou was, let alone one that blows my mediocre power level out of the water.
Outside of that, thankfully, most average people don't associate me with anime, but rather with games or regular nerd stuff to a loose degree.

I don't normally associate with weeaboos, but there are a couple of 'em in my Japanese-English exchange club. What was surprising to me is that one of my friends from class is a Narutard, he suppresses his powerlevel so well I didn't even know his weeaboo-ness until he asked a couple of the native speakers the meaning of the word "dattebayo." Totally came out of nowhere.

You folks sure have a sense of humor, but I must regress. Here's one last story for those old friends that I remember from /a/. So I'm going to assume you all know that horrible anime show called "Naruto", right? Well there was this black guy who was cosplaying as Naruto (surprising, I know!), on his way to one of the cons, when he suddenly felt famished (probably for some chicken or watermelon, I'd guess). Knowing he didn't have enough time to change, he made his way to the nearest restaurant to have a meal. When the host asked him what table he preferred, he pointed at the one in the corner and said DATTABLEYO!

Hope I don't fail at spoilers.

My brother met his girlfriend in an Anime club (she's black, btw).

But his power levels aren't as high as me. He likes old stuff like Legend of Galactic Heroes, Lupin the III, and Robotech (the english version), and is much more a WoWfag than an otakufag. He says that moe is "silly." His girlfriend is a bit more into it, she watches some stuff like Haruhi or Higurashi and likes that "yowie."

Neither of them browse 4chan, though we do have conversations about 4chan...mostly arguments about which is a better hobby, WoW addiction or imageboard addiction.

Non weeaboo, actual asianised half white (but you wouldn't know by looking) person speaking. I personally used to look at Japanese culture and think that the anime and stuff was interesting. Hell I was even introduced to it by my japanese teacher for learning purposes. But for living in a city 74% asian I have to say that weeaboos and actual asian culture are worlds apart and I don't like the whole Japanophile vibe among weeaboos who don't know anything other than the "good" parts of Japanese, or any asian culture for that part.

Being able to eat motherfucking pizza with chopsticks and living in an asian environment every day of my life makes me really dislike those super weeaboos like Magibon who don't know the BAD parts of being seen as Japanese because they are all star struck by the mecca that is Tokyo. Anime and such are okay to a point also, but after you turn 18 - 19.. it's time to call it quits man.

Hate to break it to all you out there who still think that watching a "grown up" anime like higurashi no naku koro ni or something makes it acceptable in Japan, but its not. One thing that weeaboos don't comprehend is that in Japanese society there are a LOT of otaku that go far beyond any weeaboo and the automatic assumption of anyone who admits to watching ANY non mainstream anime like one piece is gonna get the cold shoulder and be treated like an outsider who can't grow up and watch the tv dramas like an adult. No matter what the subject content is, even if it's a "for adults" anime, you don't EVER admit to watching it. Period. It's better to just stop before you develop weeaboo habits and know in jokes.
