Top Ten Signs You're a Weeaboo
This mainly applies if an anime obsession gets in the way of your studies or job all the time, ruins relationships, and changes your life for the worse. It's still possible to enjoy anime while reasonably balancing commitments and other aspects of your life.
It's fine to be a fan of anime, as a lot of the shows are pretty decent, but it would be a little obnoxious to be a fanatic.
Especially if it has schoolgirls in it.
Amen. This is what we call a true, genuine weeaboo, not someone who enjoys anime, manga, or Japanese culture in a rational manner.
I don't look at hentai, but it's fine if you do as long as it doesn't take over your life.
I know someone who's obsessed with anime and also has a body pillow. Half this list applies to him. It's crazy accurate.
So it also means that you compensate for social interaction with a stuffed lump of fabric.
It's also a sign that you'll be forever alone.
I certainly don't do this. Wouldn't it be time-consuming to type those words 5 times in a row?
I just say "cute" like a normal person.
An average weeaboo's comment on the Internet usually goes like this:
"KAWAII! DESU DESU! MY WAIFU IS KATAKURA-CHAN! TSUNAMI SASUKE KANJI! MATCHA GREEN TEA POCKY! DESU DESU! BAKA ANATA CHIKARA DAMASU FUZAKERU JOSHIKOUSEI! TENTACLES DESU DESU! NOTICE ME SENPAI! LET'S WATCH SEASON 27 OF 'COWBOY SPIRITED BLEACH TITAN DEATH NOTE GUNDAM!' DESU DESU!"
How exactly does cosplay make someone a weeaboo? I cosplay, and I'm nowhere near being a weeaboo!
What about those crazy Disney-obsessed people who cosplay at Disneyland/World all the time? Are they weeaboos?
While I do like these two and also enjoy Pocari Sweat (which is Japanese) and use LINE (an Asian social media app), I don't like them solely because they're Japanese. I also love various Western dishes and even dishes from my own country. In fact, I probably love more Western dishes than Japanese/Chinese dishes. I'm definitely not a weeaboo.
Sure, those are both good foods, but why like them solely because they come from Japan? I'll never understand why people do this.
The Newcomers
If all you talk about is anime 24/7, you have a problem.
Saying "baka" in an English sentence will only make you sound like a weeb, so don't do it.
That word is stuck in my head for some stupid reason. That's why I don't watch anime anymore.
You have a messed-up mind or are being sarcastic.
Either you do it ironically, or you're a pervert and possibly a pedophile.
The plural is the same as the non-plural variant of the word "anime." There's no such thing as "animes." Grammar mistake, bro.
The plural of anime is anime. Why don't people seem to get that?
So we're merging traditional stereotypes with newfangled stereotypes. Interesting...
Chopsticks aren't only used in Japan, so this doesn't count.
Nobody cares because not only Japanese people use chopsticks. Doesn't count!
Sure, I like J-music, but that's not all I'll listen to. I enjoy a variety of different music genres, including classic rock, techno, Latin pop, and Christian rap.
I can read manga. You don't have to be a weeaboo to know how to read manga. -.-
