Evolution of the Weeaboo

>>7801517
She honestly has a lot of good qualities about her but that power level. I'd rather have her than some basic bitch as a roommate.

I'm taking Japanese and I have to say that 70-80% of the class are weaboo. Some tone it down better than others but the outspoken ones do anime character gestures when they say anything in Japanese. I was expecting something like this when I enrolled but the second hand embarrassment is too intense.

A lot of weeaboos evolve into koreaboos.

Koreans are Murkaboos so it's a weird circle.

>>7801535
Yeah, my Jap class has been full of weeaboos who back out when they realize it isn't that easy.

>>7801535
I seriously didn't believe that there were this many weeaboos in college. It feels like they come from out of no where. I'm scared anon-chan.

>>7801543
this
1st year Japanese -- 10 classes with 30 people each.
4th year Japanese -- 1 class with 12 people

get fucked weabitches

>>7801544
I had a pregnant weeb in class.

>>7801563
Or people only took the mandatory 2 years for their general education and just stopped taking it, lol

I just started Japanese too but I don't sense any weeb vibes in the room. One girl had calpico the first day and people already know common words used in anime but I was the first to wear an animu shirt and I think I'm the only one with charms on my bag...shit

>>7801572
Thats how it was in one of my classes until someone's anime ringtone rang and the whole class besides; a korean guy and gal and myself, blew up into a massive conversation about anime. The teacher's face was priceless.

>>7801582
Fuck my punctuation and grammer.

>>7801572
Congrats, anon. You're the class weeb. It's you.

I dont like anime, and have a general dislike for most people who use tumblr (because sjws). My new roommate tells me within the first 5 minutes of meeting her that she spends 6+ hours a day watching anime and the rest of her time posting on her ten tumblr blogs. We start talking and she often will interject with "oh I know that, I learned it from this anime I watch". Apparently hetalia is educational, guise. Often complained about how there is no internet in the dorms because she wanted to watch some yaoi thing and couldn't do it in the public space. Ruined my artwork by drawing moustaches and random kanji all over it in pen. Discovered my wardrobe (I didn't wear lolita much as I was still getting used to the area and preferred to blend in) and sometimes I would come back to find her dressing up and taking "kawaii" selfies in my burando. She is too fat to wear non shirred lolita, I told her to stop and even offered to let her wear one of my bodyline pieces, but NOPE. Took to putting my more expensive pieces in bags under my bed, and she never found them although was sad when she couldn't find the kawaii dress with the icekurimu or however she said it and stars on it (milky planet). Wore cat ears and showered about once a week.
I believe my low point aside from the touching of my clothes was when she explained "triggering" as "when someone sees something that makes them feel sad." She also tried to make me watch anime so I insulted some of her favourite shows by comparing them to western animations.

>>7801585
Yeah that's what I was implying

(I'm really not a weeb though, just the only one with any sort of power level showing, I can just sense the tension of something like this >>7801582 happening although anon I don't believe you weren't in that conversation, this is cgl, come on)

>>7801563
That's pretty true for all languages.
First semester beginner's French at my uni had ~350 people, second semester (French 2) has less than 80, with a lot of people struggling. The numbers will just keep dropping.

>>7801588
>>she couldn't find the kawaii dress with the icekurimu or however she said it and stars on it (milky planet).
This made me chuckle.

>>7801594
Haha, I actually wasn't. I try to keep my power level low. There have been two tines I was exposed though. First time, I accidentally left my sound on my Mayushii (tuturu~) text tone went off. No one, but one guy recognized it. The second time, my music started playing while I was in the language lab with some of them.

>>7801588
You should have installed a lock on your door.or if you were living in a dorm talked to them about switching rooms.

As a teenager I used to be a massive obnoxious weebatron. However I was also best in class in Japanese so I guess it wasn't all bad.

>>7801610

>>7801609
ohh she loved that dress... I had the OP with the apron and I never detached the apron unless I was wearing it so it didn't get lost. I never saw her actually wearing it or I would have flipped my shit, but a friend showed me a picture she had put on Facebook and her boobs were too big to fit the bodice so it was like scrunched up above them. Because of this it hit her like upper thigh and Im pretty sure her fupa would have been hanging out underneath if she hadn't taken the picture at such an angle you couldn't tell. I was glad I had moved out by then because I was livid. Luckily the dress didn't sustain any damage.

>>7801615
I did, this was before that though

>>7801610
Haha thankfully none of my power levels are in the form of sound. I voluntarily wore that animu shirt today, and that was after waiting ~10 classes in. I can tell a few people are doing the same thing I am by trying really hard not to come off as weeby "that girl" despite a genuine interest in the language and writing.

I really, really hope there's a true weeb among us though so I can finally have some stories to share in these threads.

Sound power levels are the worst to have and as long as you don't act like a total weeb, anime clothing isn't that bad. What do you mean by >>I really, really hope there's a true weeb among us though so I can finally have some stories to share in these threads

>daily lolita
>enroll for Japanese classes in first year of college
>everyone thinks I'm a weeb
>people will just magically leave me alone because of that
>I'm an introvert so I'm pretty happy with it
>On presentation about culture, people are doing stuff about anime, food, pop music
>come in my finest antique iromuji and rock a kimono and kitsuke introduction
>no one think I'm a weeb anymore

And that's, people, why you shouldn't judge the quiet, strangely dressed girl at the back of the classroom.
Seriously, my college have some of the most virulent anti-weeb I ever met, and they treat me downright awfull because I wear fluffy dresses. I don't even like anime or read manga, I'm just here for fashion and art history. I'm sure all of them are just closeted weebs who fear too much to show their power level, that's why they are so bitter about it.

>>7801677
I can't do shit correct today.

>>7801588
>by comparing [anime] to western animations
This is pretty much the quickest and easiest way of pruning out which anime fans are actually worth talking to.

I had my very first Japanese class session today and nobody seems too bad. I mean, when the teacher asked where we've seen written examples of Japanese someone mentioned "comics" and she was pretty enthusiastic about it. "Comics? You mean manga? Everyone loves manga!!!"

I have a feeling that if it's anyone, I am the class weeb. I'm just nervously keeping my power level down right now, and trying to dress low key before I pull out the animu shirts and himekaji.

>>7801634

Truth. My SIL has a Japanese language degree and pretty much wasted four years of her life in order to be able to watch animus without subtitles. She works in entry-level retail now. I feel kind of bad for her but girl you could've seen this coming if you'd thought about it for three seconds.
It can be useful, of course, but you'd have to have an actual career in mind either in Japan itself (mangaka doesn't count) or in a company that often deals with Japanese partners. If someone's just doing it to be able to read mangos as they come out that's fine but you don't actually need the degree for that.

>>7802157
I've never met a lolita who doesn't acknowledge they look weird to the general public, they just don't really care. Even someone like Fanny Rosie probably gets a lot of stares and commentary.
I've personally never had anyone think I'm a weeaboo, though, just a weirdo. Even my boyfriend who has a pretty significant powerlevel (runs in the family apparently) didn't believe my printed ETC dresses came from Japan and thought I got them from the Disney store because they look so "Western", whatever that means. Man I wish I could get this shit within Europe because customs are a bitch.

>>7802178
Uh just pointing out that I don't have both a husband and a boyfriend on the side, I'm just too lazy to type out "my boyfriends's sister". That clearly worked out well.

>>7802170

>looks fairly prim and proper but is acting squirrely
>keeps glancing at your book

That is so cute. I hope you put a ring on it.

>>7802157
Oh I totally admit I look like a weirdo, but if I stroll around in a nice 1930's kimono outfit all day you bet that I don't care looking weird at all. And only people interested into Japan link lolita with it, otherwise it's just 'doll clothes' or 'vintage' or 'play costume'.

>>7801763
...Sarcasm or serious? I'm genuinely confused.

>>7801678
>wore a kimono for a presentation
>has a holier then you attitude for choosing a harder subject than the rest of the class
Nope you're a weeb just not of the animu type. I met some like you, trying to make yourself seem better by choosing a different subject to obsess over.

>wear anime shirts and have school supplies plastered with anime girls
>backpack has pins and keychains that definitely say "I'm a weeb"
>also wear tons of sports teams clothing and am frequently chatting with others about last night's game
I've had someone tell me they just didn't know what to think when they first met me because my two biggest hobbies were, typically, for two very different kinds of people. Frankly I feel like if I wasn't so open about my /sp/ power level, there's no way I'd as open about my /a/ one either, I guess because it "normalizes" and makes me a bit more approachable. Plus I tried really hard to hide my weebishness through high school and I just didn't want to do that anymore.
>Brennan Williams is my hero

>>7803263

>>7803375
Well, I guess I'm flattered then, thanks.

>>7801678
Maybe they left you alone because you seen like a fucking asshole?

I was in the mall the other day and I ran into some people I knew from high school in gamestop
>Keep in mind I graduated in '08
>Keep in mind this particular pair of twins graduated in like '06
>See one of them
>Go to say high
>He turns around
>IS WEARING A FUCKING NARUTO HEADBAND
>AND AND those GOD TERRIBLE sweet wrist bands with anime shit on them andand
>Abort mission
>Abort mission so fucking fast the guy I usually chat with in gamestop just kind of gives me this half laughing half pity wave.
I then saw them playing magic the gathering in the common area after.
At the very least I don't think they recognized me 100 lbs lighter with a suit and a different hair color.
B-But really? They have to be almost 30.

>>7801517
Maybe just start slow. Like in public if shes screaming "anon quiet down"
or "lol anon check out these weeb stories on cgl"
"here anon let me help you with your contacts"
"wow this hairstyle would look really cute on you!"
of course, I tried a method like this on my weeb/tumblr friend and she would just get mad.
If that is the case, don't even try.

I have a similar situation right now with my old roommates friend. I left some stuff at the old place while I was in the process of moving out (wigs, props for cosplay, etc.) and my roommates hamplanet friend with gross as fuck hair is posting photos of her in my wigs. When I asked them about it today they said "oh, sorry anon we took it to 'er house and we don't even know where those wigs are anymore lol"...They fucking jacked my wigs man...fml

Call her out on it. Those aren't her wigs and the last time you saw them they were with her. Threaten to call the cops if need be.

But like, that's everyone ITT too. Weebs only exist cause other weebs need to shit on someone else to feel better about themselves for being more normalfag.

>She's working at a diner after high school, all cleaned up in the diner uniform.
>A herd of high school goths and edgy kids we knew from high school comes in
>still just as tryhard as ever, even though we all graduated years ago.
>They're seated just outside her zone, she's waiting the tables behind them.
>They start talking about all the "cool people" they knew who just disappeared after HS.
>They specifically start wondering what happened to her as she's working right next to them.
>She says nothing.

I don't understand weaboos that have a holier than thou attitude? Back at my uni there was this one group of girls who were classic, unkept looking weaboos, all a bit over weight with frizzy hair, glasses, graphic tees, etc. And they would always brag about their anime knowledge and how "cultured" they are, or how they're so much prettier than the other girls in the anime club.

It was incredibly frustrating since yeah, they could be pretty if they had put any effort into their looks or clothes and self grooming. I dunno, people still in that 13-year old unkept weeb phase well into college irk me since they should know how to balance real life and their power level by now...

threaten to stab*

the fact that each level of Japanese has less students depresses me. (Although second year was hardest to get in for me) It's so popular it's hard to get in to if you're serious about learning the language

I noticed when I took Japanese at a university it was less weebish or at least I couldn't tell much. at community college there were much more and quite loud about it. one girl would yell out phrases like out of an anime. She would also get some wrong if it sounded similar (like kowaii and kawaii )

>>7803294
It's not an holier than you attitude, it's just that they were expecting me doing some stuff about pop culture and I didn't, so it surprised them. Somebody did something really interesting about Japan myths and another one about cultural differences between different regions in Japan, I was not the only one picking up a 'nerdy' subject.

>>7803546
more that this board is overrun with idiots from tumblr who don't know shit

>>7801607
this is true of basically any area of study. As time goes on there are less people in the more advanced courses becauase
1)people outside the major don't require them
2)people aren't interested in them over easier options
3)people fail out or drop out

Why wont people just enjoy things?
Why do they call themselves an otaku if they like anime, or a gamer if they like vidya?
Why?

>>7804254
There's a difference between a weaboo, and otakus and gamers. A weaboo glorifies Japanese anime/games/culture to the point that they react negatively to any possible criticism of it (no matter how valid or well-constructed the arguments) and are actually at the point where their fanaticism interferes with their ability to be sociable with their friends and family who are not into the same things. I understand being at the point of where you have little in common with some family members, but you should at least talk about the weather with them rather than shut yourself up in your room watching anime while they're visiting your family and are sitting alone and bored in the living room. Practice some social skills outside conventions and your anime groups once in a while.

>>7804484
>implying otaku isn't a negative term

>>7804484
The only people who use the term weeb are other anime fans trying to make themselves look better. Weebs don't necessarily do any of the things you mentioned, they're just socially awkward. In reality normalfags don't give a fuck and will associate you with an annoying nekonyandesu girl. This is just another way cliques work. It means absolutely nothing.

We're all fucking weebs in one way or another, no one is any better than the other one for liking or disliking something. Socially awkward people are annoying tho.

how close are you getting to your roomate where her "poorly fitted contacts" are a big enough deal to bother you?

howdo you even know unless you're straight up making out with her constantly

>>7803409
God, I went to high school with a similar pair of female twin weeaboos, saw them later, and they were still obnoxious. May be your twins and mine are soul mates.

Custom sound files and ring tones are the least offensive form of weebism because everyone does that shit for everything from games to movies to their favorite band.

My text notification sound was the Metal Gear Solid codec beep for the longest time and no one gave a shit. Every now and then someone (usually a guy in his 20's) would hear it and make a one off remark like "haha that's awesome" or "Metal gear, right?" and that'd be about it. Accessories are also not a big deal because they're generally small and discrete. Got a mini-Ryuk keychain on your backback? People who know what it is will take note and probably not make a huge deal out of it, people who don't know won't care.

The problem with weeb t-shirts is that it's being thrown in people's faces all the time. If you have a giant Bakemonogatari Zettai Ryouiki graphic covering your entire torso it's kind of hard for people not to see it and constantly be reminded that you're a weeaboo.

>>7804541
Eh. People wear sports jerseys and obnoxious 2edgy band shirts all the time. Why is it a problem if it's some pornographic Malaysian childrens' cartoon on your shirt instead?

>>7804608
Because they told me afterward. I actually made friend after that because the presentation were also made for that, so we discussed our hobbies and presentation subjects.

>>7804532
Could be she complains about them being uncomfortable or they pop out all the time. The fact that someone would wear poorly fitted colour contacts is a pretty good indication that they're a dumb cunt so desperate to be a special snowflake that they're willing to fuck up their eyes.

Otaku is negative, but something completely different. One can be an otaku but not a weaboo, and most weaboos do not qualify as otaku. I count as otaku because I do not leave my home unless I have a good reason to, have highly specialized interests that dominate my life, and don't talk much to people outside of my interest circles. Weaboos are social creatures, even though they show a distinct lack of social skills. They're loud and try to steamroll anime and japan into any conversation they have. They show their fandom blatantly and try to talk to anyone who shows similar signs of fandom.

Otaku are horrible yes, but we're generally a quiet, elusive breed who don't really talk until someone gets us started on our area of interest.

As for my weeb contribution, it was club presentation day at my college recently. When I started talking to the anime club guys, they responded as though I was a normalfag eho wanted to poke fun at them. I have learned to hide my powerlevel too well, /ceeg/.

Yeah I tried doing that with Navi yelling Listen!! cause it's cute AF and I don't leave my house unless I'm with friends, at work, or buying groceries so I didn't think I'd ever be in a place where people would hate me for it.
Until I went to buy a WoW card and made the mistake of doing so at GameStop. I got to the counter and got the usual, "Oh you play WoW, that's pretty neat!" and it went off just as I was about to respond and they judged the absolute fuck out of me.

Now it's the level up sound from an obscure MMO I used to play as a kid and it just sounds like sparkles so I'm safe from people thinking I'm a total jackass.

I'm a weaboo at heart and I just can't stop, I couldn't do it guys. Granted, I got some good friends from that stunt while also getting some shit, but those people are no longer my friends. And apparently because I'm the most normal looking person in my major, people who were mortally embarassed by liking whatever nerdy shit and being bullied for it when they were younger felt comfortable talking to me about it. It made me happy, but also kind of sad since I guess it's not common to just purposely spill your spaghetti and not care what others think?

>I'd love to get into Magic too but the guys at my local /tg/ shop really put me off

some people take it too seriously and act like dicks in order to piss you off so they have a greater likely hood of winning "putting you on tilt"

>made it pretty clear that they don't want me anywhere near their secret clubhouse.

you don't have to be best friends with these people, just play them.

also women tend to be inherently great at this game, so if they're older players that are not too nice guys, yeah they do not want you around since you pose a credible threat to them.

idk how to describe it but women at the same age as a young male generally have better resource management skills and the ability to plan further ahead and/or make sound decisions to make them appear as if they were hasty decisions

translates well into games that do not require dexterity


>>while starting straight at my practically non-existent tits through my baggy sweater

if they are the types who play to win packs and or money, at FNM (ie most people since its expensive to play magic and just lose over and over) they stare at your land base, cards in hand then your face to see if you're giving away any tells. then usually stare off and think about cards that are in the set and the likely hood that you have the answer

man, child or woman, zombie whatever same strategy

you may also notice them annoyingly shuffle their hand over and over again, it's to prevent them from starring at the response they're going to play and keep you from knowing what they drew

it's intimidating, annoying but they're not checking you out don't worry.

-----
most guys that play there are in long term relationships, have wives & kids, or in the rare occasion they're single ( i am usually one of the only single males at the legacy and modern events) are not looking for a girlfriend at a magic the gathering event...and we're not there to flirt with random people in front of all of our friends

not going to lie, this is the sad truth about college

besides a few core classes that are very specific and tied to your major

most classes are non-sense
most of my psychology classes as an undergrad were my teacher telling us about a show called millionaire matchmaker

At my community college there is a pretty big group of weeaboos in our cafeteria that are always there each time I've visited (and it's pretty rare too since our school food is pretty pricey). I've tried to pay them no mind but they are usually seated close by the entrances and because their group is so big they take up at least 2-3 booths. There already isn't too much seating in our cafeteria and it was so annoying the one time I went I saw they left all their shit on two booths, took like 5-6 chairs from the middle row tables... but were seated at a booth on the opposite side of the cafeteria from where all their backpacks and shit were. Like what the fuck you guys if you aren't going to use the space let some other people who, you know, WANT TO FUCKING EAT, have the spot jfc.

>>7805874
I've also had a few experiences myself with some at the school. One I felt kinda bad for since he was pretty socially awkward but I felt really uncomfortable around him.

> first semester college
> taking an asian american studies class
> our final is to do a presentation on objects/things that represent us
> one greasy looking dude who wore the same jacket everyday to school is the first to present
> "i didn't have a very good childhood so I found solace in japanese tokusatsu. Do any of you know what it is?"
> "Oh do you mean that kamen rider stuff" I say, seeing as how no one answered
> I feel as tho I make myself a target since the guy keeps trying to talk to me after

It's not that I didn't like him but whenever he talked to me I felt like I was talking to a walking wikipedia page with the way he conversed. It got really bad though when he found me on facebook and our conversations would always turn to him talking about how Japan was superior and he would just shit on korean people/their music. People can have their own opinions and all but like... I never said anything about K-Pop or whatever. He literally just kept bringing it up.

>>7805874
>At my community college there is a pretty big group of weeaboos

why do people that attend community college talk down about people who attend community college?

oh you think they're dumbasses because they're not at a university?

guess where you go to school...if you're surrounded by idiots there is PROBABLY a reason why, and it doesn't have to do with money...because merit based scholarships are everywhere to separate the trash from the gifted at that age

>>7805885
dude, the cafeteria weeb group is a community college staple. chill out.

>>7805885
Wait what

I go to that community college as well. I'm not talking down about them not being smart or not being able to afford going to university. I just mentioned that they all hang out in the cafeteria and take up a whole ton of space that they aren't even using.

>>7804573
magic is ass.

Yugioh is where its at

>>7805905
oh my bad, hanging out in a cafeteria didn't sound like an insult to me.

but saying HANGING OUT IN A COMMUNITY COLLEGE CAFETERIA

is an insult because of the implications of attending a community college

anyways taking up too much space?

they're students too, the seating is there for the students

Do any of you guys happen to have weeaboos that play the ocarina at school? We have one here who literally shoehorns his ocarina into every conversation. In the time I talked to him he just kept bringing up if I have heard it or if I've heard it being played around the school. The first time I saw this dude he was leaning against the wall, one foot pressed to it as he was playing Song of Storms (really badly) while it was raining.

My friend has a figure drawing class with this guy and she mentioned to me how he said to some girls to call him senpai since he has taken the class before. She has told me in the class she's overheard him talk a lot about his ocarina and is always asking people if they want him to play something for them.

>>7805913
I haven't made any insults to them or anything other than saying they are weebs (I mean, this is a thread about weebs)? My post was pretty much just me complaining about them taking up space that they weren't even using. I only mentioned community college to add that our school is small.

In my original post I was complaining over the fact they left all their stuff on two tables in the cafeteria, only to sit and gather at one table on the other side of the cafeteria. They had two tables to themselves that they weren't even using. Of course they are students and they have the right to sit there, but all I'm saying was I was annoyed that they weren't even using the space they already had.

>>7801535

Well, I'd like to get into teaching japanese culture or language at a college level, or maybe work in outreach. I'm actually getting interviewed for an intership for a new Japanese outreach division in one of the bigger companies in my area. If I like it, maybe I'll look for something like that. If not, graduate school in Japan.

I'm actually taking another stab at it this semester but with newspapers and magazines.

The language isn't the issue, the sourcing is. Thankfully our library keeps full subscriptions to the major japanese newspapers including digital archives.

Read a few old theses. They're literally all about pop-culture.

>Thankfully our library keeps full subscriptions to the major japanese newspapers including digital archives.

newspapers aren't an academic source and generally should not be included in a master's thesis unless it's just to demonstrate it's presence in popular culture or popular opinion

claiming that you're doing heavy research but cite magazine and newspaper articles as sources is some high school tier shit

I was considered 'weird' in high school since that's where I went through my weeb days and I never quite shook off the reputation (especially since all my geeky friends were weebs too at the time; we were a pack of goddamn weeaboos). Same as you, I have learned to hide my powerlevel and wear girly clothes. It's just odd because I'm used to being seen as strange. Plus, I'm quite sure I saw some of them at the local convention. Not that I expected them to recognize me out of cosplay, but still... ;_;

I think it's more of a defense mechanism more than anything else, rather than them being 'bitter losers.' If you've spent a good portion of your life being mocked for what your interests are, it's more than likely that you'd build a protective barrier around yourself. Not saying this is a good thing. Having an attitude of preemptive strikeback before anyone says shit to you probably does more harm to your circle than good.

>>7807663
My class is about 25 people (one of five or six sections of the course IIRC). There's four white people total, including myself. The rest are various sorts of Asian. My uni has a ton of asians, decent amount of middle eastern/Indian/otherwise brown and almost no black people.

>>7801572
Trust me, everyone hides it as long as possible because of the stereotypes. There was one unwashed weeb with scraggly hair in my class who wore naruto shirts every day, the rest of us were normal-looking, normal-acting human beings. Then we all went out for karaoke at the end of the semester and it was nothing but Vocaloid and anime OPs.

A coworker saw my weeb cig case and goes on and on about Bleach
Kind of disappointing he hasn't watched anything other than that

>>7805913
Sounds to me like you're the only one making those implications, buddy. Butthurt much?

You guys haven't seen weeb until you have seen the Weeb Mobile.

There is a guy who teaches at the primary school across from where I live that drives a car covered from head to toe in Bleach decals. I have been living in that street for almost two years and have yet to take a photo, but next time I see it on my way to work, I will take a photo just for you guys!

>Sit down to play a game at local /tg/ store.
>Dude smiles, looks like he spread squeeze cheese along his gumlines
>Breath smells like sour milk and death

>I'm playing against one of the slowest players in the entire world
>Casual game, taking too goddamn long
>The BO is real. He may not have showered this week.
>I throw the game so I can leave faster and still be somewhat polite.
>I guess no one else plays with him because now he follows me around in the store, just shuffling his cards while sitting next to me and watching me play.

Since I've started playing, like 3/4 of the tcg players I meet fall into these categories:
-severe autist
-old dude making wildly inappropriate comments
-demi-bro dropping lines/game
-whiny teenagers

Sage for OT, had to get it out.

Hey Soto, is that custom and where can I order one?

>>7806598

This was my freshman year experience. I'm not into the whole wearing anime and video game stuff so I guess they thought I was making fun of them.

I just wanted to join in on conversion. It's not every day I hear people talking about legend of dragoon or chance pop session.

I forgot that people exist sometimes.

And then college reminded me that bronies exist.

I almost feel like I have a chance with girls when faced with these people.

Are your guys' FLGSs really that bad? Maybe it's because I'm friends with one of the girls who's friends with everybody, but everyone there is always super nice to me. I wasn't able to go for a month and when I finally got to go back, the owner was like "Anon! Long time no see! We missed you!"
Also, all the dudes I've played at drafts and stuff haven't been that spergy, either. I played this one dude who had that autist-look about him, but he ended up being super cool and when we finished playing, we still had some time left so we ended up helping shape up each others decks.
The rudest thing that happened to me was some girl cutting in line while I was waiting to grab my box for prerelease.

>start trade school after a while of chasing other options

>creeperweebs eyeball me hard

I've actually had people hang around the lobby after they're finished so they can try to talk to me. This area for whatever reason is goddamn weeb central.

Kind of related to all the MTG complaining going on.

I've been noticing that Japanese people use it as slang now in the same way we use nerdy or geeky, but a little more extreme.
I've known a couple Japanese people who said they were an otaku for a certain thing. So like "I'm a Evangelion otaku", they're not otaku entirely, they just REALLY REALLY like Evangelion to the point where it's reaching otaku levels.
I've also had people say "you're a (celebrity) otaku!!" when i say I really like whoever.

It's really not about "fake geeks" for these guys, it's about having girls around at all and thereby being reminded that the only women in their life are their mother and their 2D waifu, neither of whom will ever fuck them. At least if their secret weeaboo treehouse is boys only they can pretend they're not so lonely and pathetic since everyone around them is also lonely and pathetic.

>>7811138
I know it can be hard to do it, but just ignore those fucks.

>>7811146
Yeah, it's a lot easier once you're over the initial shock that this sort of thing actually happens. But it's still scary when one of them corners you in a quiet place like what happened to that anon. I don't think most of these guys are actually violent but you never know.

>>7811155
I see where you are coming from. You could always get pepper spray or something similar because you are right, you never really know how crazy someone can get. Just be careful.

Also holy shit how much did he spend on that. Like, really. My parents have a business doing car detailing, and fully printed custom wraps like that are expensive as fuck.

I don't think that's all of it. Yes, they do hate women, but they are also hostile towards normal, sociable, /fit/ guys. They just can't pull overt aggression on guys who are easily twice as strong and a lot more confident and disagreeable than they are.

I think it has to do with being a loser who is physically, socially, intellectually and usually financially inferior to the peer group, while lacking the emotional fortitude to face or change that.

So they come to rely on a stupid niche hobby for their self worth. Then if someone with actual social worth comes in and is easily as good or better at the only thing they know of, it destroys their self worth. I think they are so thretened because they even know themselves that they are bad at even the things they think they have mastered, and any normal person can become better in a few months.

tldr: Just bully the fucks, they are bad people and they deserve it.

Oh man I love these threads so my story may sound a little familiar.
In the middle of last school year (University freshman) I realized I was living the weeb dream- Taking Japanese language, history and politics, being in the costume club (99.99% cosplay stuff), staffing a con, a geeky boyfriend and also being a member of the anime and kendo clubs (left the former for the latter due to time conflict).
I think it was one day after a particularly spirit-breaking practice where I kind of laughed at myself for how lame and weeby my life is but iono I feel like as I become an adult, I'm able to look at my interests slightly more objectively. These things are all really fun and interesting and different. I don't love them due to their sugoi nihon factor but for my own reasons so I feel a lot better about myself now.
But also
>about to become co-president of cosplay club and have no idea how to run it on an administrative or social level

Sorry, I couldn't find this thread yesterday, so I just saw this today! If you're still there, I'd say the best area for Japanese majors would be computer programming, business, or education. I personally hate business and programming, but I like outreach and education, so that's what Im working on. I'd definitely say studying abroad is must, especially if you actually want to speak Japanese well. (Currently packing to come back home after a year here in Japan myself actually). I'd also figure out where your closest Japanese Consulate is because they offer lots of information about internships, job offerings, and study abroad scholarships. Gonna put a throwaway email here if you have any more questions.

That is the sad part, all of this stuff can actually be really fun, but a large chunk of has been fetishied and made to seem as something lame, geeky, or something a loser would do. Because of this, people judge without trying themselves and go on with their lives without having tried an activity they could have loved just because of the social stigma it carries carry.

And the stealing, oh my god the stealing from MtG players is horrible.
I love it, my game store has a 1500 sqft gaming hall, big and open with an alcove for GMs to run campaigns. They literally put up a wall to separate the wargamers and the magic players, and it has kept the smell down tremendously.
I swear to god that the magic players are their own breed of disgusting, and I'm just glad I don't have to smell them from across the room anymore.
>>7809633
/tg/ers aren't all that way, other games draw better people. The card gamers in general are awful, but I'm biased as a Warhammer 40000 fag. There's bad on all sides, there's always a 'that guy' so find other friends to play with and don't bother with the assholes.

You could always just tell him what you think. Aspies require direction. I have had an aspie friend for years and I let him know when he's his nerd rage out. He's gotten much better over the years. Your guy might just be completely unused to social interaction at all and is just glad to be about to talk to someone about a topic he's well versed in. Hand to one I bet if you asked him a direct question about anything related, he'd know the answer.

No, but there was a kid in my high school that played the bagpipes every lunch period and after school. The dude was a weirdo but was nice enough. He was big into building terrain as well, so models of open fields with resin water and flocking for grass- that stuff.

No, as far as things like Navi and the MGS ! noise being cringey I get it. It just screams 'HEY GUYS PAY ATTENTION TO ME TOTALLY PLAY VIDEO GAMES/WATCH ANIME/ETC ARENT I DIFFERENT XD'. Earlier today I heard a Portal turret voice clip. It's almost as bad as the people who actually own and wear trollface t-shirts. It's just awful.
I mean, we're all still dorks for having it as that in the first place but when it's not so in your face, it's not as autistic. A few years ago I was in a Kmart and Chichi Chichi Oppai was some regular looking girl's ringtone and I turned to them and made the stupid gesture and she did it back and it was glorious. But that's the only time I've ever heard a non-painfully obvious weeaboo ringtone.

Even though I changed my tones, my phone still looks like it's owned by a greasy neckbeard. I have a a K-On logo charm strap, Sylvanas Windrunner BG, a Zelda Healthbar battery monitor, and a dumbass anime clock widgit. Not to mention all my dating sim apps. Just like my phone, I'm only an piece of filthy unwashed weeaboo trash on the inside.

I can't reveal the other series or else it'll be a dead giveaway as to who I am off board. But it's another series from the PS1 era.

I'm currently a NEET, and honestly do not want to change but might need to, but I really want to make a career out of my livestreaming we'll see how that goes.

Does wild Pokémon encounter music from Yellow count as attention whore casual? It's hardly obscure but it makes me really happy to hear it and I've actually had some really nice conversations with people who recognised it. Of course basically everyone my aged has at least been near a Pokémon game at some point but only a few of them are able to place the sound.

So you like socializing, you just want to do it with one person.

Are neckbeard stories okay? Because I have one in progress

>people being this judgmental about ringtones
Really? I like the MGS tone because like the Gundam warning they sound acceptable as ringtones or text alerts compared to loud music and character voices from games/anime.

>Oh man this seems pretty cool
>Teachers say something
>Some guy with coke-bottle glasses, a gross-looking beard and a voice like his mouth is constantly filled with spit chimes in
>Teacher says another thing
>He has to chime in to that too
>Eventually he's just responding to everything and being that one idiot in ever class who mistakes the lecture as a one-on-one conversation with the teacher
>Near the end of class asks the teacher how much the editing software costs
>teacher tells him the price, politely tells him that it's kinda dumb to buy it at its price unless he's going to be doing all the assignments at home
>Kid keeps saying "Oh no that's okay... I got money coming in" with a dumb grin on his face like he's the only person who gets a paycheck on fridays
>Next session I'm talking to a friend before class and mentioning that I think I used the editing software when I was in high school
>This guy keeps jumping into the convo and insisting that five years ago is "recent"
>He's doing the same shit as last time, only this week wearing fingerless gloves (normal gloves cut to look like that) on a hot day because he thinks they make him look cool
>First project announced
>"PLEASE DONT GET HIM PLEASE DONT GET HIM PLEASE DONT GET HIM"
>I get him in my group
>he immediately calls everyone over while standing up and trying to sound like some sort of '50s businessman pitching an idea to us
>It's this overly complex noir thriller that makes no sense and relies heavily on dialogue
>The project is just a 1-1 1/2 min video to show we know how to use the camera and the kinds of shots (and is silent)

>>7814754

>Just dumbfounded by secondhand embarrassment during this
>He asks me why I'm not participating much in the conversation
>"Oh sorry I'm kinda sleepy right now. Didn't get a whole lot of sleep"
>"OH yeah you're telling me. I'm running on a cup of coffee and pepsi I had for breakfast"
>"Wait what? You have pepsi for breakfast?"
>"Yeah I have a high metabolism."
>Just happen to be looking in his general direction, about stomach height (since he's still standing for some reason)
>He suddenly gets ridiculously defensive and starts saying "ITS BECAUSE MY MEDICATION" (his weight? his "high metabolism"? I have no clue)
>Keep trying to tell him that the project is silent
>He either ignores me or gets mad and claims that's not true because "THEY NEVER SAID IT HAD TO"
>teacher walks up and tells us that it actually is supposed to be silent
>He's all pissed off now
>She asks us if we have any ideas yet
>"WE'RE CALLING IT... THE HANDOFF!"
>Trying really really hard not to groan at that name
>He repeats his overly complex idea to her and she looks confused but just lets him go with it and then lets us go back to brainstorming and exchanging contact info
>She goes to print out copies of the rubrics for us in the back office of the classroom (a small film studio)
>He starts getting antsy to leave before I stop him and convince him to at least wait for our professor to come back
>He decides to go back to the office and ask her if we can go, comes back with a pissed-off look on his face since she wants to answer any questions really quick before setting us loose since there's still fifteen minutes left in class
>Halfway through her answering questions he just walks out while she has a really confused look on her face

>Curious about him and search him up on facebook
>His picture is literally a picture of fucking Sonic the Hedgehog
>He lists his job as CEO of some shitty website/production company he made up
>Oh jesus

>We start filming this monday and Neckbeard is dressed vaguely like Spielberg
>"oh goddamnit"
>We're shooting and he keeps giving us all weird directions and anytime someone explains how none of that makes sense, he just shouts "SORRY IM A SCREENWRITER NOT A DIRECTOR"
>Loses his throwaway ballpoint pen on one of the lawns on campus and starts losing his shit no matter how many times we tell him it's just a writing utensil and we all have other ones anyways
>The whole thing ends up literally just being some dude walking out of a building, randomly being followed by a character who just disappears like a subplot from The Room, passes off a flashdrive to someone and then gets roughed up by someone else
>Every plot hole gets explained with "Well it's implied"
>When we finish filming and head up back to the editing room, he literally makes the whole elevator ride be filled with his idea for a cop show with superheroes that's essentially a ripoff of Gotham Central with a really overly complex explanation for the superpowered people
>Professor is helping us load the video files onto our hard drive and he flips out a HUGE amount because she forgot one minor file that we ended up getting transferred anyways

The next day
>See him in the Student Center between classes
>He's wearing a fucking fedora with a superhero t-shirt, a hoodie and jeans

I swear to god if he starts wearing a trench coat once it gets colder out I have no idea what I'll do.

So yes there's the story so far. I really hope he doesn't get worse from here on out.

>>7814772
I expect great things from that man.
Particularly more stories of him being an awful person.

Good luck anon

Ughhhhh... I don't want to get to the editing part because I swear he'll just be nitpicking the whole time and forcing his shitty taste in music on us.

I'm also pretty sure he used to be in med school and then dropped out because he wanted to be a screenwriter. Which is weird since I think he's a film student and that's more production-based, as opposed to the more writing-based Media Arts program.

Oh I also forgot to mention that he smells fucking disgusting and doesn't cut his fingernails. I think I just wanted to forget that part.

>>7814787
The rest of you should man up next time and not just let the biggest mouth run everything.

>>7814875
Unfortunately one of the guys in the group didn't give a fuck, another was on-screen talent (meaning he had no idea what was happening 90% of the time) and I just wanted to get it done since we only had an hour to work on it.

I'm most likely going to be the one editing the video so I'm just going to ignore the bullshit he says next time.

>>7814898
Get em next time.

And perhaps mention to the professor how detrimental it is to your learning experience to have one loud student monopolize class time.

>>7814935
I'm probably only going to do that if it's a group we're stuck in for the rest of the semester (which I REALLY hope it isn't)

>>7814793
>used to be in med school
I refuse to believe someone that autistic got into med school unless he somehow managed to hide his powerlevel until that one faithful day

Please ask Spielberg-sensei for stories about med school.

>>7815575
>Spielberg-sensei
Actually I think I'm just gonna refer to him as "Spergberg" especially if he actually turns out to be Jewish like I suspect.

But yeah I sorta wonder if he just claims he went to med school briefly on his facebook because he tried getting in and got rejected. Or mistaking training schools for stuff like dental assistants for med school. After all, he claims to be the CEO of a production company that he may be the only member of, so I wouldn't put that kinda stupidity/hubris past him.

>>7814787
Please keep us updated on Spergberg-sensei.
I love reading neckbeard-stories, I just pray to whatever almighty power up there that I don't ever need to deal with one myself.

Ah Gamestop. I once walked in and saw two employees chatting in horrible weebanese about animu girls. I try to convince myself that they were joking. But I'm not so sure.

>>7806659
Not that anon but you know there's such thing as business and science magazines, right? Like Nature and such?

On a related note, around 2010 I started going to a comic shop in my hometown with two of my friends. We never saw many other people in there and the owner was really cool and friendly. We'd only go on occasion because he didn't carry some of the independent monthlies I was following. He moved to a larger store and was able to host table top games, and quickly me and my friends became uncomfortable. It was the first time in over a year we'd seen so many people at the shop, and not a soul talked to us.

I think he felt bad, because he still made an effort to chat us up and suggest new titles. We had been driving to a shop a half hour away for the independent monthlies, and soon we just started going there instead. I believe that was 2011. Just this summer, I drove by his bigger store and it's closed. I hope he's doing alright.

>>7816986
I meant to explain that the comic shop further away had a friendlier crowd. Not only were there dudes that acknowledged our existence, there were a few regular girls as well.

The hometown comic shop became something of a secret club, and no girls allowed! I didn't feel so bad about it until I saw it had closed. We should've supported still supported our local guy.
