Reasons why anime is just a guilty pleasure and not a full on hobby

>not a full-on hobby
I spend more time on anime and anime-related things than I spent on my job.
It is a hobby if you make it one.
Go away.
What's the point of reporting threads like this one anymore?
It's not like any mods are here.
Because its not something you can be proud of, unlike real hobbies.
It's my guilty pleasure hobby.
because when we're still young enough to care about what other people think of us

Forced to be a closet weeaboo because the only people who openly express their love of anime overdo it. Can you think of a likeable weeaboo? Like the word itself shouldn't be insulting, someone who enjoys Japanese culture. But because there hasn't been one non-cancer ridden public weeaboo the word has become an insult. And I'll be damned if I'm going to be thrown in with the rest of those autistic fucks!

You have no idea what weeaboo means or where the term comes from. Lurk more.
>>119951231
Its not what the term means. Its just what it has become because of how cancerous the community is.

The term is correctly insulting because since its first use on 4chan it's been used to describe retarded faggots.
Don't bring weeaboos into the discussion. It's like saying that being associated with cars is bad because some people have car races on streets where children regularly play.
This still isn't /a/ related of course. But at least OP probably has lurked the board for long enough to know what he's trolling about.

You're doing anime wrong. I only regret my need for sleep seriously limits my time enjoying it.

*tips teakettle*
Why can't it be both?
>>119949031
Because it's not mainstream and having something that isn't mainstream as a full-on hobby makes you a retarded neckbeard social reject

You're doing everything wrong
