Are you a weaboo?

I always told myself/other people I wasn't, but facing the facts; I pretty much only watch Japanese TV, play japanese games, listen to japanese music, read japanese books etc.

I mean, I would never want to live/work/raise a family in japan, but to anyone from the outside looking in I would probably qualify.

[Anonymous No.]

Everyone on jaypee is a massive weaboo, but they will deny it to the death.

>watch Japanese TV, play japanese games, listen to japanese music, read japanese books

[Anonymous No.]

I only watch Japanese cartoons and only read Japanese comics, but I don't watch live-action Japanese stuff because it's almost all terrible, and I read only western books. As for music-it's mostly western. Video games? Almost entirely Japanese with a few notable western outliers.

It's not my fault that the only nation that can make good cartoons and comics that aren't comedies are the Japs. I honestly think people that like western comics from DC and Marvel are basically just hipster garbage. How can anyone who isn't 10 years old like that garbage?

[Anonymous No.]

I remember when having a slightest hint of interest in anything Japanese did not instantly warrant being labeled a weaboo. It's all your fault, 4chan.

I'm in the same situation as yours, except that I want to live/work/raise a family in japan.

I really want to do kendo at my college.....
But I will take so much shit from everyone and my leading social will be exposed to my real nature: Otaku

Maybe I can do it some day....
At this point I practice by myself

That is all I wanted to say about my desires of my inner weeboo

And that I could dress like Maiku Hama and still look good

[Anonymous No.]

>>9245516
Why would anyone care if you do kendo? I'm sure there are plenty of normal people in the class.

[Anonymous No.]

>>9245516

I really want to do boxing...

But I don't want to get a broken nose or brain damage. The nearest boxing gym is also like 60 miles away, and I would be undoubtedly mocked by all the resident boxers before having my ass kicked.

[Anonymous No.]

do you idiolize japanese culture ?..no ..then you are not a weeaboo

[Dissability-san No.]

>>9245521
hmmmm I go to MSU and the kendo club gets shit on...
But, You've convinced me
I will try it out
Thanks

[Anonymous No.]

I am exactly like you, OP. I love Japanese entertainment, but I definitely do not want to live in Japan or anything like that.

And because of that, I don't consider myself a weeaboo.

[Anonymous No.]

>>9245530
nope, boxers wont mock ya
they'll probably cheer you up so you become less of a skinny bitch or less of a fatass, whatever your case is
I highly recommend you do it, there's no risk of brain damage unless you want to go pro

[Anonymous No.]

I'm a weeaboo at heart

Sure I'd love to have my apartment equipped with tatami floor,
have a japanese style bathroom,
walk around in geta and a kimono all day
sleep in a futon and prepare tea ceremonies

But I don't

I'm slightly overweight. Most people can't tell, thankfully.They're always shocked when I reveal my weight (210 at 5'10").

Yeah, I wouldn't do the pro thing. I know amateur boxing is based on points over knockouts, but my nose is so beak-like that it would be undoubtedly smashed. But yeah. It sounds like it would be so awesome to train and get ready to do battle with another boxer in the ring. I imagine it's a massive rush of excitement. Hitting a punching bag or perfecting a punch from a certain angle also feels pretty great.

[Anonymous No.]

Do you guys dislike the japanese culture? That's the impression I always get in this kind of thread.

Personally, I don't really see any point in not liking it.
I'm not speaking about idolizing it, but at least considering Japan a nice place.

[Dissability-san No.]

>>9245530
I have family that boxed.
There is a lot of weight lifting and running
You have to get a license, which costs money.
In the end if there's no pain there's no gain bro.
Almost no money can be made in the sport today, so it might be more of a hobby for you where you can make a few bucks on the side at matches.
If you're worried about the boxers, than I think you should start lifting. People probs won't make fun of you. You can get strong and big fast if you put your best in at least twice a week. After that you could make a transition to boxing. I don't know about the injuries though...

Kendo is the honing of spirit and control of strength. It is the glimpse into tradition of warriors that strive for inner grace of ancestors in these modern times.

I've been wondering if Japan has any or at least common stores that focus on selling retro games, game systems, electronics, and old film media players.

Do you know if they do?
I want a ton of lazer disc stuff and battea stuff. It would be fun to have that kind of stuff, like in that Cowboy Bebop episode

Even though all my forms of entertainment come from Japan, I definitely don't want to live there. Or be Japanese.

I think Japan is looked up to way to much. It is completely different from what you see in animes. I've even heard stories of people going over seas to Japan for university and wearing cat ears everyday. Also from what I hear the Japanese don't take kindly to foreigners.

A good deal of us take an interest and bring foreigners under our wings, as long as you came legally

We've had a lot of really bad incidents, but it just involves ghettos and red necks, so stay away from the ghettos and countrysides

I guess I am. I wouldn't like to be born in Japan, but I would love someday to live there for a while.

I mean, I'm on /jp/, how could I not be a weeboo?

[Anonymous No.]

>>9245402
Years of video games, manga and anime have indoctrinaded me into being a full-fledged weeaboo and I'm perfectly fine with that.

Though obviously, the fact that there are no western equivalents of things I like does not help.

>weight-lifting
This is actually somewhat rare for boxers. They're terrified of anything "new". They'd rather do bodyweight exercises, and jump rope, and run all day.

People would probably see me as a weeaboo if they know my two only interests; 2hu and eroge. live-action is shit and I never really liked manga. But I had a period when I watched lots of anime. I wish I could enjoy anime like I did a few years ago. I only watch like, 1 or 2 series every season now.

He could build strength, endurance, and confidence if he did weight lifting for a while at first.

I tend to link the term weeaboo to not only a notable fondess of Japanese stuff, but also a bias against stuff that's not Japan.

I can't limit myself to 1 region. I love cartoons and games of all regions.

-Anime/Manga has always been in my life
-I like Korean music (Something popular in Japan)
-I play only japanese games
-And I have always dreamt of being in AKB someday (But I'm not female japanese or young enough)

Commies? Why are you referring to Americans as commies?

Japan 1972, only two years after Mishima's rebellion, the incident known as Asama-Sanso incident had swept through Japanese news. A student lead communist rebellion had turned on it's self, which produced tragic fates of the all individuals involved.

That is the commies in Japan

I wouldn't say so. I love anime, manga and VNs, however many of the games I play are Western, my musical taste is entirely Western and I actually really don't like Japanese food besides tempura and teriyaki. I don't watch Western TV much but then again I basically don't watch TV at all except for anime, and the occasional supposed-to-be-so-good-you're-no-one-if-you-didn't-see-it series such as Game of Thrones.

I don't give much of a shit about their culture besides anime/vn, but, their industriousness, heavy emphasis on the sciences and engineering and the fact that they're secular as fuck are all admirable traits, basically they're analogous to an Asian Germany in that regard.
