What if Japan gave Corea their apolojuice and formed a country merger, /jp/? Would you remain a Japanophile knowing half of your media is traditionally Corean in origin?

Because "Japanophile" is never used as a tongue-in-cheek way of referring to Western otaku.
Japanophile -> Wapanese -> weeaboo. Learn your image boards.

Could you recommend any books on Japan?

I am perusing the country's media 10 hours a day, I'm starting to think I should learn a little about the country.

Look up "pragmatics". Words have meanings and connotations beyond their dictionary definitions or etymologies. For example, you are not losing at anything, but I am free to call you a loser.
Loser.

Well this has been going for a while. Google "japanophile 4chan" or something. Maybe site:dis.4chan.org or site:4-ch.net since those threads weren't purged.

Again, yes, it means someone who loves Japan, there is no doubt about that. It's just people use it as a tongue-in-cheek way of referring to, say, anime fans. Even the non-obnoxious ones. People used to poke fun at themselves a little, without stepping into self-loathing territory (if you can imagine such a thing).
