Definitely consider it my main source of non-gaming related entertainment at the moment. And I will fess up that I do have some weebish tendencies. But the hardcore weebs who do all of the cringy bullshit and scream about how much they would rather be in Japan while screaming broken Japanese? They need to shut the fuck up.
I’m lower on the scale so please forgive my ignorance. What is a web exactly?
Weeb is the one that would be at the top of the bell curve there.
Like I said in my original post: They are effectively the Anime equivalent to the Gamer stereotype.
They are the kinds who are always mixing Japanese in with their English. They obsess over Japan even if its ignoring stuff that is historically wrong (they are the kind who argue that the Katana is some sort of super-sword when in reality it is inferior to most European swords from the same time period...and both are inferior to polearms). In extreme cases, they are the kind that go around with the hentai jackets on. And they are usually fat with titanic amounts of BO.
But much like with gamers, they are actually a smaller portion of the fandom than you would think since most Anime fans are just normal people. They are just the loudest and most obnoxious, so they are the ones who get made fun of.
weeb is short for weaboo, an internet term for people obsessed with all things Japanese
Thanks!
