What is the non pejorative equivalent of "weeaboo"?

based tribal callsignbro

I don't get the obsession with labeling yourself, but "otaku", though also pejorative, seems to be the superior alternative, since anyone who calls themselves a "weeaboo" or similar is guaranteed to be a niwaka.

weeaboo was supposed to replace it but it ended up losing any semblance of meaning

Otaku just means obsessive, it's always supposed to be used like "train otaku", "anime otaku" etc, and is also pejorative.

キモオタ

lol weebs

If you find yourself in a position to declare yourself some label to people often then you won't quality for it in the first place. This in general, not just "weeaboo".
Talk about your interests. That's it. It's not hard.

Burgers that unironically call themselves otaku don't know that.

The closest English equivalent to "otaku" is probably "neckbeard".

What's the reverse of weeaboo? What do they call Japanese people that are obsessed with Western culture?

You should be more suspicious of someone who calls himself an otaku than someone who calls himself a weeaboo.
