I wonder why the hatred of this in particular... people here seem to hate france, but I really like French culture, for example Kieślowski's three colours trilogy (ok, so that's sort of Polish too maybe a bad example), but nobody seems to get so irate if I mention something like that?
Is it because the particular things people dislike are those Japanese cartoons? What does everyone here make of Japanese live action films- can't say i've evewr watched one so I can't give an example, but would that be Weaboo? What does weaboo even mean? Seems like a weird word.
There's nothing wrong with watching and enjoying a few feature film animes, Miyazaki stuff, Akira, Ghost in the Shell, but you should enjoy them for what they are, films and nothing more.
Why do so many anime fans get defensive to the point of actual, medically diagnosable mental retardation when they get trolled?

Serious question.

I'm an incredibly normal guy.
I go to school, I have a girlfriend that I've been dating for a month and a year, play hockey (I'm Canadian) smoke weed and party occasionally with my friends.
Now my girlfriend used to be a total anime fan. She claims she doesn't like it anymore yet she traveled to Edmonton to go to a convention with her friends. I know right? I too, used to like anime. I watched Inuyasha, Deathnote, and Full Metal Alchemist. Also some Elfen Lied for kicks. But I was like 12 then. So it was 5 years ago. I never told a soul about it. The only person who knew was my mother because she would find me watching it on the computer. You can imagine my horror when she bought me Naruto Manga books instead of an Xbox 360 for christmas a few years back (God mom I know you had good intentions) Now I'm labeled as a jock at my school cause I play basketball with some kids at lunch in the gym and some of the freshmen know me from Hockey Clinics where I help out with the kids who just start hitting. People are really fucking surprised when I say I love videogames, am addicted to TF2 and love building computers.
Point is, I thank god everyday I never told anyone cause I would be labeled as a total faggot and would be dating some ugly pimply nerd skank and forced into the one clique, aside from emo-fags, who I incredibly dislike.
I bet a lot of you are like me. Closet gamers, who may have dabbled in Asiatic faggotry for a couple of years. And even I would want to smack a kid upside the head if I saw him wearing a Lucky Star bag.
Keep that shit to yourself and maybe you'll lead a relatively normal life and your Father won't wish he had a real son instead of a boii~.

I've watched a few animes myself, but I am honestly more likely to watch the Discovery and History channels than anything else lol. My main past time is gaming. See, I was gaming 15 years ago, when people were like "HAO DU I COMPUTAR". When everyone was playing SNES, I was playing Doom... people were so quick to call people like me a loser, yet, when you show them what's going on, they're like "OH FUCK THIS IS AWESOME".
This hate on anime is unlike anything I've ever seen. Do I hate the obsessive faggots who think Japanese culture is so much better than ours? Yes, that's a stupid assumption to make from watching some cartoons. But some of these cartoons are actually pretty awesome. I've watched Death Note, Gurren Lagann, Hellsing, and a few others I can't remember and don't particularly care about. I've also watched a few foreign films, read plenty of books, played lots of sports... I've done many things in my life, and I would hate to have to pick just one. But some people do. They pick JUST ONE. Watching only anime or only foreign films or refusing to ever touch a computer... these are all acts of ignorance by choice, which is the worst kind of all.
Everyone has favourite activities, but it is stupid to purposely go into tunnel vision.
ANIME harrrgghghahhgg arglebargle
Konichiwa mother fucker.
I try to attack anime with a Goku-Get'Em Attitude. Just ask yourself... "How would Goku handle this situation?"
[QUOTE=NinjaPanda;18352885]dgg I do respect you man, I really don't see how you can be fucked to always argue in these sorts of threads when they appear constantly and generally have the same arguments as always which is "If you watch anime you're a faggot with no friends, no exceptions." and place shit stupid images and emoticons in their posts as if they think it proves their point.
I got bored when I realised that all you had to do to get around 100+ agrees was to make a thread bashing anime viewers and base your entire argument on a stereotype.[/QUOTE]
It's great fun for me. I love discussing. Sure I get a bit tired of the same shit over and over and over. But there are so few topics in GD that isn't retarded. With retarded, I mean threads that you can't really discuss in. Like how candy is good. A new upcoming movie ("looks awesome" "looks lame" "blabla is in it"... okay...). And just generally stupid shit.
It's not that anime threads in GD ain't retarded, because really, it's like a black man standing infront of Hitler and say that he is jewish and hates white people.
But it's a topic where you can argue and argue and argue and argue and it'll never stop. It'll continue until the people arguing stops. But I kept myself away from this thread because it wasn't about anime fans. It was about weeaboos. Plus I saw it when it was 4 or 5 pages in. Nobody gives a shit about anything but the first page, second page and then some care about the current page.
And nobody likes weeaboos. If we did we wouldn't call them that, simple as that.
Got to admit to the closet gamer bit, I rareley even admit to owning a computer in public...
Where does the word 'weaboo' come from anyway?

Huh. I've never heard of anyone having feared the slightest bit about being interested in computers. I've had one since I was 4. Installed my first program when I was 5.
I don't really know. But as far as I've heard it's from a comic strip (the comic which is awesome I somehow forgot the name of) that got wildely popular over at 4chan. It contained the word weeaboo and it was a huge hit and got used towards todays weeaboos.
[quote=Urban Dictionary]A word filter for the image board 4chan.org that replaces the word wapanese. Originates arbitrarily from a [B]Perry Bible Fellowship[/B] comic strip wherein a man was paddled by a crowd chanting "Weeaboo! Weeaboo!"
"Those Wapanese kids think Japan is so great."
becomes
"Those weeaboo kids think Japan is so great."[/quote]
[QUOTE=Craptasket;18342063]I have seen nothing good from a weeabo other than an excuse to act like a child and run around and be gay all day and play dress up.[/QUOTE]
..What's wrong with being gay all day?

Well obviously facepunch also hates homosexuals.
Or did you refer to the meaning of "happy"? Well, same thing really.
Facepunch... And a lot of people in general. Seems to hate people being happy over something they won't be happy over.
Thus they proceed to call them out. Want to hit them and beat them up. Wishing for them to die. All that jazz you know. Becuase "he likes something I don't like. He's such a faggot and deserves to die".

Evidently.
some people think these kind of stuff are cute
It just saddens me that people think that anyone who likes [i]any[/i] anime is [i]obviously[/i] a weeaboo. Sure they exist and they are faggots, but they are not defined by likeing anime. Someone who likes animals is not a furry. Someone who loves animals to the extent of dressing up like one is. It's the same with anime, just becuase you like it, it dosn't mean you are obsessed with it.
Back to topic: Yeah that guy wearing a bag is retarded.

It's from that strip? Forgot about that, was a good webcomic. But yeah, in my clique we don't really mix with computers. I can talk about music, books or going out but computers go down badly... Opera= good Half Life= Bad... god knows what stereotype I fit into, possibly old-skool nerd? Elitist bastard?
Anyway, the East Asian people I know tend to call this type of person 'otacon', apparently it refers to people who like asian culture just a[I] little too much[/I] and so seem a bit creepy to them.

Huh. I've absolutely never heard of anyone being a reject for liking computer games before. I've of course heard about nerds and such. But just for liking games? Haha.
You fit into, sorry for the shock, the gamer stereotype if any.
I don't think they find them creepy. They find them absolutely silly, retarded and laughs at them for their failed Japanese attempts and obsession with the fairy world that is usually presented in anime.
In anime it isn't always proper Japanese either, made up words and grade school Japanese. Many formulations that doesn't work in the real world. And so on. You would only make a fool out of yourself if you don't learn Japanese through a serious video or real course.
Then the big question remains. Why would anyone want to live in that shithole?
Maybe you would find them creepy if you were japanese...
Anyway, how do I fit into the gamer stereotype? Apart from being on this site obviously...
And yeah, where I am liking computer= nerd= social reject. Actually, that's quite a good parallel with the whole 'weaboo' thing.

Nope. If I met some dolt that was obssessed with my country I would only laugh at him and teach him a thing or two about our country.
I don't know, I said, "if any". Computers are part of daily life for a good bunch of people. Bussiness and entertainment alike.
And do you not realize how sad it is that you get worked up over the fact that some people enjoy not so manly, and sort of homo'ish things?

Assuming you're not a troll I like how you try to show off your looks. That may work if you were actually GOOD looking. Just cause you have a bunch of fat nerd guys hitting on you don't feel all high and mighty. They would hit on anything that is female and actually talks to them. Other than their own mothers.
holy shit what is that thing in the filter picture
I don't find anime things in pubic odd, thinking back on it. I find the obnoxious things weird.
If I saw someone with a cowboy bebop bag, I wouldn't think much of it. It's when guys have bags or accessories with small, large-eyed, colorful anime girls that are weird. It's so out of place and so strange to see a male openly wearing something so overtly feminine (by western standards), and paired with this person's probable lack of social skills or strange outfit that intensifies the weird.
And the problem with weaboos is that they usually embrace these colorful, out-of-place products and fail to show any other type of anime. There are plenty of animes that their products are okay to be seen with in public but weaboos never wear them, it's always the abrasive and absolutely weird shows that make the person wearing them look absolutely weird.
Plus you gotta be able to pull it off. Confidence and dressing well are part of it, shitty clothes with an unmatching bag and no self esteem completely nuke your image.
boo hoo I called anime kids stupid and they stabbed me with a shurikan.
Seriously, the weeaboos at my school are scary. They go home and play with explosives and guns and knives and bring them to school for Anime Club :silent:
I've NEVER met anybody who even knows what Lucky Star is . . .
The only good anime is dragonballZ, godammn look at piccolo, you will never be as bad ass as him.

Dragonball = one of the most ridicilous, almost homosexual, shitty shows created.
It would've been better if it wasn't so fucking serious about it.

Exactly. Weaboos always pick creepy, big eyed small breasted girls with pink hair instead of things that are acceptable(ish) in western culture.
