[QUOTE=daigennki;50123313]I disagree with them, and I absolutely dislike weeaboos, although my definition of "weeaboo" is very solid - somebody who overly likes anime and does not respect the actual Japanese culture. So that would be people like those who come to Japan just to do things like watch anime or go to an AKB48 performance and for nothing having to do with the actual culture.
And as for "otaku" - there is a variant of the word called "kimoota", which literally means "gross otaku", I use that word to describe any actual Japanese person who acts similarly to weeaboos - somebody who overly likes something to the point that they would do things like buy those pillows with anime characters on them and sleep with them, as well as even become a nuisance for others, particularly with very bad manners. I think that "otaku" on its own can mean both good and bad, just like "nerd".[/QUOTE]
I buy waifu pillows and sleep with them, I've also spent over a thousand dollars on various figurines. :v:
Just because I do all this shit at home, doesn't mean I bring it with me outside.

[QUOTE=vamper;50123507]Hmmm I did seem to contradict myself its not what I meant to say in the end but honestly i never get what I trying to say across in text.
At the end of the day I really just do not like hating people,
and more of the point I was trying to make [sp]and failed[/sp] is that we live short lives i just do not think hate and contempt is worth the time in the end.
My dislike of Japanese culture is not hate but a discomfort with the fact of how woman are treated, how it celebrates war crimes, and how it encourages Xenophobia.
This is not exclusive to there culture its in many but it does make it right for other cultures ether.[/QUOTE]
You might be able to debate about the culture being sexist and xenophobic due to its very traditional and secluded nature but since when was whitewashing war crimes became celebrating them?
Sure that's still awful but that's very well far from celebrating.
Japanese people would never say that they dislike Weeaboos in a public video guys most of them are very polite about stuff

[QUOTE=rampageturke 2;50127873]what if you switch anime with another aspect of japan and it's culture and they concentrate really hard on that instead and ignore everything else. isn't it just the same?[/QUOTE]
What if somebody comes to Japan and they expect everybody to talk like people do in anime?

Okay fine. My opinion was flawed, I should be more accepting of others no matter how terrible they are.
[QUOTE=SilverDragon619;50108741]I like Japan because there's tons of truths and philosophies in their society. They've actually used the advancement of time to their advantage and actually live in the current year. They also manage to keep everything sleek and clean, and often they produce movies or other types of arts and media which are very refreshing from the mainstream, glorified, waved around stuff that you see in the west.
We Europeans and Americans really like to force the idea that if you don't have a girlfriend or bring in tons of money, you're an absolute failure. I agree that Japan is on the same idea, but it's not looked down upon as much.[/QUOTE]
Are you aware that despite all their advancements their population is failing? You make it sound like having a GF is somekind of status thing it is infact something that fills a biological function.
I could be wrong but TBH to me it sounds like you just want an excuse to live in your happy rainbow world shielded from real life.
I think they framed the question wrong. Weeaboos aren't the same thing as Japanophiles, Weeaboos are almost exclusively into Otaku culture, which might change the perspective a bit

Wow they're really open minded. I feel like if you asked Americans the same questions they'd be like "ugh so annoying nerds gross".
That'd be me. I hate weebs

Honestly "nerd" has sorta become an accepted thing in the US, it's just in the most cringey way possible. I hear people say shit like "I played Wii for three hours yesterday, I'm such a nerd lol".

i think it goes beyond just otaku culture, and ventures into an area of obsession in which the person is fixated with a culture they have had no exposure to outside of articles on the internet. there's usually an air of pretension present when the word weeaboo is used, and i believe that its a byproduct of misinformation and naivety. it's like me talking about how nice berlin is without properly visiting or living there.
