Let me explain what happened. I went to FYE at the local mall and went to the Poster section. Well the Poster Sections are located near the Anime/Manga section. As im looking to see if they had a Alice Madness Returns Poster I see a couple of guys(Who were no where near asian) scanning the Manga section. They looked at me for a decent amount of time and I was a little freaked out. I literally could hear them to as they were questioning if I was Korean or the Holy Japanese race that they urged to become. Well I totally ignored them and figured out they didn't have the poster I was looking for so I shift right into the manga section and sort of looked at some bleach stuff. The group shifted to the poster section and were scanning the posters. All of a sudden I hear " OMG SAKURA IS SO KAWAII!!!!" :evil: Why!? Why!? say that . If your gonna say that at least say it correctly...

OT, have you ever encountered Weeaboos?

Haven't really encountered any in real life. I know several people (including myself) who really enjoy a lot of anime/manga, though.

I react to them the same way I do every group of people who I consider bothersome.

I ignore them. You'd be amazed. It does wonders for your mental heatlh if you just ignore the people who bother you rather than try to interact with them.

On the internet? Adblock plus.

IRL? They are too insecure to even leave their desks, so I never see them.

Although this is the original definition, on the internet these days it's generally used for any non-asian person that demonstrates a reasonable or fairly learned knowledge of asian culture especially when it's greater than their own and thus it's become something of a racist slur.

There is a difference from love and obsessed. If someone loves the Asian Culture then im fine with it. But if they dress up in Naruto Costumes, says Kawaii instead of pretty, eat chopsticks on everything, learn about asian culture through manga then....well you get the idea.

I'm a bit of a weeaboo myself. I mean, I don't strive to be Asian or anything, but I like Japanese culture as well as Japanese things in general, such as anime, manga, video games, and I usually play my games with Japanese voices on if given the choice. If I meet someone who says kawaii instead of cute or pretty or whatever, and who strives to be Asian, and all the other actual weeaboo qualities, I'll just walk away.

It annoys me because my brother is one...

-He wishes he lived in Tokyo

-Wishes he knew Japanese

-Is going on and on about how he believes Japan is better than Canada

Wants to die his hair

-Wants to play the original starcraft every day(though some could argue thats more Korean)

-Will only ever talk to me about history if its Japanese history

-Always talks about noodles

-And has looked up the Japanese names and inspirations behind pokemon... He also spends his free time looking at pokemon wiki.. and im pretty sure he even edits it.

I love the Japanese culture, and the Chinese culture for that matter.

I use chopsticks at Asian restaurants.

I like anime.

I've never cosplayed.

I've never said the word "kawaii."

I'm not a virgin.

But yet... people still call me this word.

Hmm.

I wish that worked for me. The ones I encounter go through a huge rant about how subs are better. Makes me want to block them from the world/internet. TC, just don't talk to them. Not like they are going to beat you up if you don't.

Ponyaboos? vegetarian-haters?

I tend to stay away from anime sites, since there are a good portion of them that I can't handle talking to for more than a few minutes.
Not to say all of them are like that, some anime fans are quite smart.

I have have yet to really encounter them IRL.

I generally don't enconter them anymore... I stopped using "that place" (yep, I'm sure most of you know) since 09. I'ts not the actual love of Japan etc that bothers me, but it's the total obsession. I admire a lot of Japan's feats. Well, I was going to say more but my mind just went blank. If anything, I've been too drunk to legally post in the last 3 hours, so disregard this if necessary.

I ignore them or tell them Naruto sucks. That usually shuts them up.

I haven't really experienced any in a long time though.

Short version: A person (who is not Asian) who is obsessed with Japanese culture. No other culture is important, only Japan's culture. And will defend it like you just said something bad about their momma if you insult anything Japanese.

I guess that wasn't short after all.

Fortunately I've never had to directly interact with a weaboo. I might be considered a closet weaboo myself since I know a lot about Japanese culture and am learning to speak the language, but I would never express that in public.
