Weeb is a slur, just like ni**er, kike, faggot, and other such words, and should be treated as such. I will debate anyone on that.
There is literally nothing wrong with using n*gger, kike and faggot

It's a self identifier at this point.
It's a useful term that is accurate. Saying you're an otaku just means you're an obsessive hobbyist without saying what it is. Just saying you like anime leaves out visual novels. Just saying you like visual novels leaves out doujin and so forth. So really you have to say "I'm a modern Japanese medias otaku". For those of us who love Japan in general beyond those medias, as in the language, architecture, clothing etc, the sentence turns into "I'm a Japanese otaku in general, with emphasis I on modern Japanese medias". It's easier to just say "I'm a weeb" so there is that. I don't care that it is pejorative because I don't care about what other people think, I leave that kind of thing to normalfags.

There is no positive association to the label 'weeb'. Ask around and most people will reply with something that is akin to "no self-awareness, cringy, embarrassing, idiotic etc" the list goes on. It is nothing but an insult at this point and should be treated as such.
No one should be insulted just because he loves something or someone. The weeb word serves primarily as a shaming tool and should be confined to the arsenal of haters and the illiterate.
People who are genuinely interested in all things Japan (AND ANIME) are the main victims.
just use the word "Otaku".
what the word means in japanese does not matter since we have words for those people in our languages

Shut up you weeb.

No uses the literal denotation of "weeb", the meaning of the world kinda shifted with its connotation towards what the guy said.
My highschool bully calls himself weeb.
as a weeb i find this thread highly offensive. please delete it at once
Except niggers and faggots call themselves those things, but you wouldn't know cause you never hang with anyone.

Good. If you have friends who care, go buy yourself some less retarded friends. It can be the new "otaku", but uncool.

Blacks and gays don't use nigger and faggot.
Nigga and nigger are not the same.
>>1443027
They are still niggers and faggots whatever you called them
>>1443029
But they don't identify with those words, which is what my point is.
