According to Urban Dictionary a weeb is “a person who retains an unhealthy obsession with Japan and Japanese culture, typically ignoring or even shunning their own racial and cultural identity. Many weeaboos talk in butchered Japanese with the 8 or so words they know (i.e. kawaii, desu, ni chan). While weeaboos claim to love and support Japanese culture, counter intuitively, they tend to stereotype Japanese culture by how it appears in their favorite anime, which can be safely assumed to be offensive to the Japanese.” People think that if you watch more than three animes then you are a weeb and it’s kind of annoying.
true lol. however, one of my friends learned how to speak Japanese from anime, like semi-fluently, kinda like how one speaks Spanish after two or three semesters of Spanish. The only Japanese words I say are nani(every once in a while because of the fist of the north star meme) omae, wa, mo, shinderu(memes again lol), and Hai(back in my tae kwon do days, we could say either hai or hiyah, and I thought hiyah was stupid so whenever i say hai, im usually hitting smth). Thanks 4 this enlightenment, I thought weebs were ppl who watched other anime besides pokemon, or played literally any magic-like card game.
