And now its the other way round and now its the weebs that are the ones that have to tell others (tourists) that anime girls aren't real? im so sick of people treating fictional characters like they are real and real people like they are fiction.
At one time, I would’ve taken their opinions seriously, now I assume they are barely better than animals in terms of intelligence
It's like celebrity worship on an even cringier level. I don't know why enjoyment leads to obsession, but it does I guess. Also can someone explain this weeb term? I don't like it, sounds like dweeb which is dorky.
Weeb, short for "weeaboo," is supposed to be a term for "someone obsessed with Japanese culture, even though their only knowledge of it is through entertainment." The kind of people that say english dubs suck on account of being in english (not for the reasons we have to hate them today). No idea how that term came about though.
Also, I just prefer content in it's original language form, whatever the language.
And I prefer to listen to something faithful to the source material, but in my own language, unless the acting is REALLY bad (there have been cases). I'm not going to argue which is better though.
And considering this is the older days of anime becoming mainstream, this was a time people were finding fansubs online, and legitimately thought kids in Naruto were screaming "FUCKING SHIT!!"
What were they saying, then? "Oh dear oh dear, I seem to have encountered an unfortunate circumstance"?
