Anyone else tired of weebs?

I was there when this culture of ironic weeabooism began. /jp/ circa 2008-2010. Girls on there basically took the lingo and interests (cute girls, doujins, touhou etc) and exported it to social media and anime cons.

>>39602809
Same. And I know exactly who you're talking about when you say "girls on there".

Can't fucking stand them. All they do is shitpost about their shit lives on twitter all day.

>But does anyone else just think weeabooism has gone way too far these days under the guise of "irony"

I have to be honest. I worry that I dislike ironic weebs because I'm jealous that they get to enjoy their normie lives and "my" escapist media together, when you're "supposed" to have to pick one or the other.

Anything that gets attention can wind up like that.
Anything with meetups and conventions is just begging to wind up like that.

I like anime and manga a lot I just hate it when people feel the need to use it as part of their own identity.

>>39602881
>being jealous of girls working dead-end retail jobs and attending anime conventions being cock-hungry sluts into their 30s

Hmm.

>>39602901

This is also my biggest problem with modern "pop and nerd" culture, they don't actually care about the content other than appropriating a medium to make themselves look more chic or interesting.

I didn't actually know weebs were as bad as people claimed until I visited lolcow's pt board and read about people like VenusAngelic.

And it does seem to afflict women more than men for some reason. The men grow out of it eventually, but the women often just stay in this state of arrested development well into their 20s. Part of me thinks it's just because women can get away with stuff that's significant more cringy, especially if they're among asians who think 4/10 blonde chicks are 10/10s.

>>39602923
>until I visited lolcow's pt board and read about people like VenusAngelic.

Pretty much all hardcore female weebs are from broken homes and grew up without dads. Not even meme'ing or trying to make them look bad, I used to hang out with a bunch of them.

>>39602903
I'm just saying I see people having fun together at anime cons and being open about things that I (and many others) have always kept to more insular communities. And my gut feeling is like "fuck off with that shit and enjoy your anime alone in a darkened room like you're supposed to" but why would they?

I'm tired of WN weebs. It's fucking ridiculous to see some anime poster or some faggot with an obscure anime avatar talking about how bad racemixing is and how they need to save the white race.

>>39602979
Actual white nationalists hate them too. Hence "alt-lite" and "MAGAboys" as insults.

I find it incredibly ironic that people are terrified of discussing anime and manga out in public in the open but it's completely fine to discuss the likes of Capeshit just because it is popular at the moment.

I have a huge crush on one of them whose dad died when she was a little girl, she's mentally ill as fuck and a typical borderline femanon chick but I can't help but like her.

>Heh, if I preface my disgusting sexual habits, fantasies, desires and practices with the men I meet at anime conventions on twitter with the word "lewd" and funny emojis, then I'm not actually a slut, tee-hee xD

Can we rape this type of girl eventually?

This shit is spot on
There was this one chick I knew in HS who was way into anime and blurted out at any chance to say so.
Turned out she came from a divorced family where she barely even saw her dad.
Plus she was bat shit insane.

Someone characterize this quasi-weeb cam-ho for me. There's something about that whole "using words like thot ironically" persona that I can't quite roll into a coherent whole.

>>39602752
Ya. The whole ironic weebness of, "I don't actually watch anime other than the most popular show of the season", ironic anime clothes, muh hentai swag, xD shitty mobile games that I'll drop in a month or two.

It's all so terrible. Why can't people just genuinely like something

>>39603444
Does she even have a single weeb thing on her feed? I feel I've been tricked into reading as much of it as I have. This is just a normie.

What's the difference between an otaku and a weeb?

>>39602752
Same goes for any form of media nowadays. That post-punk girl who watches arthouse films doesn't actually enjoy either of those things. She does like the image it projects on her social media though.

>>39602752
>weaboos are insufferable pieces of shits
Shocking.

>>39603540

I'd honestly rather this was the ironic trend of the moment, rather than asiaphile shitters tbqh.

I hate people who complain about weebs on a site called 4CHAN. That was designed to discuss Japanese culture. You can always go to reddit or funnyjunk you stupid normalfag invader.

>>39602752
sounds like you've grown up lol

the worst part about the whole weeb shit is that the people are genuinely ugly as fuck

>>39603655
Using niggers on social media is cheating. Everything that comes out of their monkey-mouths is about wypipo in one way or another.

>>39603753
>normalfag

In case you haven't noticed 70% of the ironic weeb shit comes from conslut females who fuck guys they meet on OKC.

>>39603753
There's a difference between loud obnoxious ironic weebs and weebs that keep their interests to themselves.

>>39602752
>Anyone else tired of weebs?
No, since they haven't existed in many years now.

What I'm tired of this anti-weeb hysteria that has swept through 4chan and other places. Any mention of or allusion to anything Japanese--unless it's negative--is immediately met with hysterial shrieks of "Weeb! Weebshit! KYS!" People get instantly triggered out of their fucking minds when confronted with anything related to Japan, especially anything that's anime. They have somehow been conditioned to respond like this.

Ironic weebs (which are different from actual weebs despite the similar name) are terrible but the anti-weebs are a hundred times worse.

>while "ironically" playing garbage like Neptunia
I recently put about a hundred hours into the series and can tell you that it isn't garbage. And I don't do any of that "ironic" shit.

>>39603782
>I recently put about a hundred hours into the series and can tell you that it isn't garbage. And I don't do any of that "ironic" shit.

You've willed yourself to like it. Neptunia is absolute dogshit. It has ZERO redeeming features, and I say that as someone who loves Japanese RPGs.

>>39603753

>>39603825
Cute girls and numbers going up. I'm not that anon, and I'm not saying it's worth playing, but I get it.

>>39603520
Otaku can mean for example a train otaku or a military otaku or an idol otaku, someone who is deeply into those hobbies. It can also more broadly mean someone who is deeply into anime and related media and their subcultures. The latter seems to be the most common usage.

Weeaboos = wapanese = wannabe Japanese. King Cringe of Embarassment Mountain. Imagines Japan as some kind of anime version of Disneyland, uses Japanese words needlessly, wears anime clothing, has a fake katana mounted on the wall, is enhustiastic but also ignorant. At least that's what the stereotype was back when those people existed.

I severely hate people who post cropped porn or have avatars with cropped porn

Obnoxious, obnoxious faggots, iRoNiC xD does not correlate with funny

>>39603825
>It has ZERO redeeming features
This is obviously retarded hyperbole. You're one of those cretins who rate something as either 11/10 or 0/10. Nothing could possibly exist between the two.

Neptunia has more fucking memers than fans at this point.

>>39603932
Complete opposite. I hate people who do that. I just think Neptunia is a bad game.

If I were to pick a 6/10ish JRPG with good aspects and bad aspects, but not really stellar in any way, I'd pick something like the new Tales game (the one with the hot slut).

>>39603996
>I hate people who do that.
Then get ready to hate yourself, because you just did that. No sensible analysis of the series could possibly conclude that it has "zero redeeming features."

>>39604014
I take that back. That was hyperbolic.

That said it's a bad Japanese RPG by any reasonable standard, and a bad game.

>>39604030
It isn't even a bad game.

I don't know why you are so hysterical, but it's time to stop.

>>39602901
Ah, the ''poser-hating'' late teens phase. Don't worry, you'll grow out of it with a brain on your head. You don't have to follow what the /cool/ angry kids say and do, Billy.

>>39603782
Pretty sure it was Filthy Frank that popularized the whole "anti-weeb" thing.

Weebs were always disgusting trash, you just grew up and realized it.

>>39602752
its just fucking normies as usual, sure i like anime manga and a bunch of other jap stuff aswell as non jap stuff but i dont go preaching it like normies do, its the same with the whole nerd culture now, its normal to like superheroes and shit because of normies plastering it everywhere, they have no off switch

>>39604040
I am curious what you consider a bad JRPG. I like Neptunia but it's roughly 0% because of the gameplay aspects.

>>39604111
It doesn't matter what I consider a bad JRPG. Neptunia isn't one.

>>39603252
What will all these people be like in 20 years is what's interesting. Will they still dwell there? Will they avoid kissing their loved ones because they think ''it's ghey lol'' or ''cringey :^) kek'' ?

Will they call their children's school friends basic bitches, thots or normies? Will they explain old memes to them? Will people still post pseudodeep movielike descriptions and pics on social media whenever something slightly relevant happens in their lives?

I want to see this whole mess die. There's gonna have a shift on this bullshit at some point or another. And that includes politics too.

>>39604132
I think what characterizes people like >>39603252
>>39603444
above all else is this sort of feigned detachment. This forced impression that they don't care about anything (beyond some shitlib pet causes like fag marriage). It's really bizarre because they alternate between this really obvious feigned apathy (*someone posts a picture of a dog lazing around* "lol dis mai life lol xD") and paroxysms of rage at Trump/some dude who said something off-color about brown people.

It's just...

Shit. These people are perennial children. Some of them even systematize their perennial childlike nature into who they are: lolita fashion and so on.

>>39604132
Stupid trends that people grow out of are as old as time. You don't think of baby boomers as pet rock owners or disco lovers. On the other hand, I guess it's plausible that the internet turning people ironic and weird is a bigger and more profound cultural shift

>HAHAHA OTAKU SURE ARE GROSS AREN'T THEY

They are.

His manga are transparent about otaku being disgusting people. Japanese people aren't like westerners, they don't romanticize snowflake-ness - otaku are STILL negative because it's a disgusting parasite lifestyle which damages the nation.

>>39602752
You're old to the party aren't you? Weeaboos got tiresome like 10 years ago. I still like some anime, sure. And I still like the occasional JRPG. But weebs have only ever been the most cringeworthy people on the planet. I mean literally, a bunch of useless, harmless, childish, insecure effeminate faggots. And I don't mean faggots like gay. Gay people can be cool. Weeaboos are the opposite of cool in every fathomable way. I've always viewed them as a special kind of super pitiable retard children. But the kind of retarded who deserve to be looked down at.

>>39604216
>They are.
They aren't. Some of them are, but there are gross people anywhere.

>otaku are STILL negative because it's a disgusting parasite lifestyle which damages the nation
It is no such thing, and I'd like to know how an industry valued at over $18 billion is damaging the nation.

>>39604241
>It is no such thing, and I'd like to know how an industry valued at over $18 billion is damaging the nation.

Do you think prostitution, drugs and pornography are good for a nation too, simply because they're worth a lot, you dumbass?

What does "otaku media" produce? Moe anime, shitty plastic figurines, endless mass produced merch.

What type of people does it attract? Human garbage. Incels. In the west: This plus slutty girls.

>>39604228
Yeah but the whole scene pulled in some 4 and 5 out of 10 chicks over the past 7 years so it skyrocketed in popularity in general. Every media outlet now covers crap like comicon. Why? Becuase of the cute cosplayers.

Girls on 4chan are human garbage.

>>39604241
I don't really disagree with you but it's probably worth considering the fact that a decent portion of Japan's youth would rather jerk off to anime idols than get married and start families when the country already has a demographic problem.

>>39604241
HAHAHAHAHAHA

''DAMAGES THE NATION'', he says...

>>39604328
typical ironic weeb response

>lmao... did u actually say "damage the nation"? um, i think he did. like. what exactly does he mean by that?
>lol it's like this -_-
>posts star trek/harry potter gif

>>39604270
>Do you think prostitution, drugs and pornography are good for a nation too, simply because they're worth a lot, you dumbass?
Do you think I was talking about any of those things or anything similar to those things? I was talking about the anime industry.

>What does "otaku media" produce? Moe anime, shitty plastic figurines, endless mass produced merch.
There's no such thing as moe anime, figures are often works of art, and mass production is an ubiquitous fact of modern life that has nothing in particular to do with otaku.

>What type of people does it attract? Human garbage. Incels.
Meme.

>>39604273
It's worth considering that "otaku" are used as a scapegoat by Westerners to explain the birth rate issue.

>>39604328
I didn't say that.

>>39602752
Honestly its pointless to complain about weebs on 4chan.
I used to be really into anime but usually now i just watch the flavour of the month stuff, guess i grew out of it.

Anyway if youre sick of weebs then you arent going to find solice on r9k.
Maybe some of the other boards like /an/ /o/ and /ck/ are mostly weeb free.

>>39604393
I don't think OP even meant weeb specifically. There's just been this tendency for a certain type of weeaboo to ironically adopt the traits we used to associate with the word (back in 06 to 09, lets say).

>>39604270
>Yeah but the whole scene pulled in some 4 and 5 out of 10 chicks over the past 7 years so it skyrocketed in popularity in general. Every media outlet now covers crap like comicon. Why? Becuase of the cute cosplayers.
How does this matter? So the scene has a lot of underaged girls and young women pretending to be cool and nerdy weeaboos, but really just doing it for the attention. And these emotionally immature, damaged retards are gobbling chad cock every which way.

Where's the news? Who cares?

>>39604216
His manga are an attempt to market to striver hipsters who want to read manga without taking hits to their status.

Otaku create a culture, YOUR guy takes it and tweaks it, presents it self-effacingly, crawls on his hands and knees to make it acceptable to the western cultural establishment, and yet THEY are the parasites.

It's the same shit with /r9k/ and 4chan as a whole. Nerds, degenerates, create a culture and over time its output improves, until finally the fucking normalfags realize that it's good, and then they come and gentrify it.

What pisses me off about the ironic weebs is the girls who post a selfie of them doing the arguro face or whatever it is, basically a sexualised face and then complain when the inevitable sexualised comments come.

It also pisses me off the ones who claim they are such a weeb because they watched one popular anime and then go and shit on and ridicule the weebs who actually have an interest in anime and mange.

>>39604481
Why do you choose to know about their existence and care about it?

>>39604468
>crawls on his hands and knees to make it acceptable to the western cultural establishment

Not that guy but I can assure you that 99% of Kengo Hanazawa's revenue comes from the domestic market.

And Japan in general is far crueler towards the concept of "nerd culture" than the west is. Perhaps rightfully so.

As for manga, it has never been exclusively associated with otaku. That's anime. Stop adopting SJWspeak in relation to otaku shit, it's annoying.

I'm more tired of Rick and Morty. I liked it at first, too. I'm seeing anime less and less.

>>39604508
>And Japan in general is far crueler towards the concept of "nerd culture" than the west is.

What did he mean by this?

>>39604508
The "western cultural establishment" does not stop at the pacific coast. Would you prefer "cathedral"?

>>39604481

As an anime and manga fag with a general basic understanding of /co/ shit this must be how a more knowledgeable /co/mrade felt when the MCU and TBBT theory kicked off the whole "I'M SUCH A NERD XD" thing and normies began appropriating their hobbies.

>>39604538
I have no idea what you're talking about, you mean the liberal establishment? Japan doesn't give a shit about them domestically. They've been trying to get Japan to sign anti-discrimination laws into effect for decades, the Japs just tell them to fuck off.

>cathedral

Mencius Moldberg?

>>39604508
Anime has never been exclusively associated with otaku. Anime predates the term "otaku" by two decades, and "otaku anime" didn't really become a thing on television until the turn of the century. There is still a lot of anime airing during the day aimed at wide audiences, as well as theatrical movies.

>>39604566
Maybe not, but Hanazawa does.

>>39604582

Adults in their 20s who aren't otaku don't watch the stuff. Stop playing at being a Japan_Expert.

Femanons need rape.

>>39605003
4chan should be for otaku

>>39605003
A blatant false dichotomy, and there is no clear line between "otaku anime" and other anime.

>>39602752
I never was a huge fan of anime but it definitely has gone too far. But it's bound to happen with anything that's popular or "trendy", just look at the sorry state of modern national socialists. Ignore the shit that goes with the stuff, autists will be autists regardless of what medium you look at, case in point Morrowind/Oblivion/Skyrim.

>>39605042

I don't think anime and manga can take off in western culture in the same way normies have appropriated Capeshit.

I don't know if this is my turbo autism but I get triggered when an english speaker refers to an anime by its japanese title. Stop being a pretentious fuckwit and calling it Kimi No Na Wa you massive faggot.

>>39605074
It has nothing to do with pretentiousness, it's just calling something by its real name.

>>39605074
The problem with this is the inexcusably bad English names that some shows get. Off the top of my head, So You Thought There Is Never A Girl Online?

weebs are fucking annoying

>>39605058
It has but only things like Attack on Titan or Dragonball. There's a very big market in the west but people tend to stick with the more popular stuff. And as far as I know capeshit is starting to die off movies and vidya aside.

>>39605096
This only happens with anime though. English speaking people who watch asian cinema don't call Seven Samurai "Shichinin no Samurai".
>>39605138
These situations are acceptable I guess

>>39605199
People who closely follow the anime industry and frequently watch things before they've received an English title would naturally use Japanese titles.

>>39605096
