I have always wondered about that. It seems like some weeaboo only wants "authentic" Japanese things, ie Japanese girls, Japanese music, and Japanese people to be friends with, while others seem like they'll take anything/anyone that is Asian. This guy I know is dating a Chinese girl, and he's weeaboo. So, does it depend on the individual weeaboo? Or will they accept all things Asian (Japanese being the best)?
so if someone was asian (non-japanese) chinese etc can they get away with not being called a weeaboo?
even if they are.
>>69
No. If it's not Japanese, it's still a weeaboo. E.g., pakistani weeaboo = pakaboo
i am a nigra

Because honestly speaking, to us in the West, the image of china just seems dirty. Not saying it's so, but that's the image.
Speak for yourself, my image of it is of a magical land that's probably not possible.
Mostly americans are weeaboos
they abuse the japanese langauge
they trying to be japanese
fut fail hard :/
i think they all should burn in hell.
Yeah, I detect the penis envy.
Does anyone know what's the best glue for plastics? I need to glue part of the base of my joystick that broke off so it will center again. Thanks!
JB Weld is pretty good.
Where can I find that?
walmart, or maybe a hardware or auto parts store. there's also JB kwik which is slightly less strong but cures a lot faster.
Thanks for the info, but unfortunately when I looked up info on JB Weld, I found out it doesn't bond well to certain plastics (probably the most common ones) maybe I should just try crazy glue?
You could, but crazy glue is mainly for just fixing stuff fast. If you want a lasting bond, you'll want to try for an epoxy of some sort.
Well, JB Weld is an epoxy, but I guess it's not the kind I'm looking for. My searches have revealed that chloroform is best cause it actually melts the plastic. However, I'm not looking to be inhaling any plastic fumes, no results for other epoxy though.
Well, you could just do it outside, or have a fan blowing in the vicinity.
How bad do you have to be before you can be branded as an otaku? What if you only like a couple of manga titles and a couple of anime titles but don’t even own any game systems, will you still be considered an otaku?
it kind of word sometime taboo
Genshiken answers your questions, read the manga or watch the anime.
It's not a matter of 'How many anime I've watched.' or 'How many mangas I've read."
It's all about lifestyle and how it revolves around you.

In the end, it's all about SAGE.
the word "otaku" is used to refer to obsessions.
you can be an anime-otaku, a mecha-otaku, a stuffed animal-otaku... you name it.
but just knowing and reading here and there... you know, dabbling... doesn't really count as obsession, right?
Not unless you're obsessed with it.
Right now you seem to be a "whether or not I'm an otaku" otaku.
Mind you, the word "fan" comes from the word "fanatic", so it's probably interchangeable. I've never called myself an otaku, but I have called myself a manga fan, anime fan, etc.
FAN = OTAKU?
Maybe otaku is more "fierce" (i don't know any word that suitable) word than a fan.
ITT WE WISH PEOPLE WOULD CALL US OTAKU, SO WE ACT LIKE THEY ALREADY DO AND THAT WE POSSIBLY DISLIKE IT

Asshole morons are always looking to make the schemes they fell for work, what they don't get is that it's never really going to make them any money, it'll just help to fuck over even more people in the same way that they were fucked over.
The stupid trying to fuck over the stupid and being fucked over by being used to fuck people over in the same way.
When will people learn that pyramid schemes are not only FRAUD, but also a waste of time and money that could have been better spent instead of taking the ever-so-difficult lazy fools' approach?
I will be entering college this September, and as much as I like anime and manga, I don't want to be an otaku anymore. It is not like I don't enjoy them--of course I do, but I don't want to be known as a nerd anymore, and being a freshman in college, starting anew, will give me the opportunity.
It will be too painful if I just throw away/give away my collection at once, so I want to do it slowly. I don't know how I am going to manage doing that though... it seems like such a waste!
Anyway, I hope you guys can shed some light and opinion into how I can do it in a less painful manner. There is only a month more before I head to college, so I should start doing it now!
Who cares what other people think I am treated normally and I am into D&D, manga, anime, and lots more nerdy things. If some one calls me a nerd I say yeah I am. So if you really like it don't just quit it if some one bugs you about it.
If you really want to give it up, then good for you, but you could always be a closet otaku like me haha. I don't reference stuff or anything like that, but I do keep up with all my favorite animes and gaming. Its not so wrong to be an otaku, really there isn't!
Its not like I want to stop you, but it might be easier if you forge your own stories, create your own momentos, or simply immerse yourself in your own real life. I try to stop relying on anime for what I lack in real life, but hey its hard. Good luck.
the answer, from experience is to keep both...
the only reason why making friends can be hard is, you got nothing to talk about with the new people...anime and manga is a small catagory in society and life...
for me, u need to know everyday thingys, such as sports, tv series/ drama - even Heroes is good, everyone knows this series (not anime)off the tv, make plans with friends, when u have there number, msn, bebo, myspace like going to the cinema or going out on fri-sat for drinks...
and doing your own stuff so u can talk about yourself...like driving lessons, college, work, gym and jus say u had a quiet day and sat on the comp for hours lookin at porn or anime, and talkin on the internet..simple and solved, any questions?
>>115 THIS THIS THIS THIS. I'm a nerd too, but who the fuck cares. I am what i am, and i LOVE what i am. Your problem will always be a problem because you care what people think. If it's not this, it will be that. Repeat after me. "F-U-C-K T-H-E-M".
Where's your Otaku pride, man?
PSSST...Give all your stuff to me.
You need to decide for yourself. You should try to find a healthy balance between not losing yourself and your needs completely and trying not to be too repulsive with your "otaku-ness" towards others.
I'm sure no one has any problem with someone who's a fan of Anime, however you should also try adapt a little to the needs of others.
Balance is the keyword here. ^^
There's nothing wrong with being yourself and having your interests. People are enthusiasts of various things, and most enthusiasts advertise what they're enthusiasts of, it's only natural, and can help you meet fellow enthusiasts.
If your IRL area is devoid of your sort of enthusiast, well fuck it, at least you have the internet.
>>1
don't change to conform for the assholes around you.
do what i did, people made fun of me, but one day i just said fuck it all and stopped caring. so repeat this: "FUCK EVERYONE ELSE, I'LL DO WHAT I DAMN WELL PLEASE" until it sticks.
If watching anime and stuff is cutting down on your time to do things you probably should be doing(such as passing your classes and going outside every once in a while), then just cut down on that sort of thing. Putting an hour or so aside for your hobbies won't kill you. It's all about moderation. You could also read manga in the bathroom while you poop.:B
By the way, chicks dig nerds. I know this from experience. As long as you're not an ass about your hobbies, as in singing OPs and EDs loudly despite not knowing a single word of Japanese, people are generally cool with that kind of thing. Also, be tolerant. If someone tells you "You watch anime? That's like DBZ and Pokemon and cartoon tentacle porn right?", don't turn into an elitist bastard. Just politely correct them, or joke along with them. For one friend of mine, I replied "Oh, definitely. But you're forgetting the little girls that swing meat cleavers around and mecha that can stand on galaxies defying all laws of physics, gravity, etc. It's great."; worked out well enough. Even got him intrigued on the mecha thing.
where is the 1'st Anonymous Enthusiast? it's hard to find his post if all reply using the same name. Use other name, nothing to lose. it's easy to do, and easy to read next time.
if you don't want to be otaku just because university, YOU'RE WRONG. that is false motivation. You will soon find people who like anime and manga there. It's fine if you could lower your otaku level, live as normal people with anime, manga, game as hobby.
Do learn from Rozen Aso (google him, this news maybe not popular outside japan), he likes manga very much, goes to university and what he become now? maybe he can be your idol.
I was thinking of buying Copics but if they're not available in the US, I was thinking of getting prismacolors..
Prismacolors are probably the best alternative, I used them all throughout art school and professionally, and thought they may be expensive enough to make the wallet pocket bleed rainbows, they're damned good markers.
Yes, Copics are available in the US. Check US retailers.
Saw them at Art Media and Uwajimaya.
So, I wanted to get into music theory. Which would be a good approach for this? Finding a teacher or reading a book? If it were reading a book, what book? All and any recommendations welcome.
teacher for sure. worked for me anyways
Well, I took piano lessons when I was a kid, but I never really learned much aside from reading music. Once I go older and took a stronger liking to music, I delved into more general music theory and some compositional techniques. Naturally I had a piano teacher, but the rest I did from books and whatnot.
Is learning from a teacher better than a book? Probably. Having someone to correct your mistakes and steer you in the right direction is probably a big help. But if you have the drive, there is no reason why you wouldn't benefit from just research.
Just from research? That's like saying you don't need to spend time on a boat in order to learn a sailing.
"Hey, do you really know how to sail this thing?"
"Oh, yeah. I read about it a lot."
Music theory is very complicated so its probably best if you get a teacher. Make sure the teacher knows what he's talking about.
Knows what he's doing is also important.

So guys, I'm lookin' for something. But not just any hobby, I'm looking for something that
Seriously, I've got so much free time, and I want to put it to good use, if I'm not able to do anything else.
If anyone has any suggestions, that'd be great.
Arigatou. :3
Build pr0n sites.
that's a good start T__T
any more?
Well, doesn't have to be pr0n sites, if you have loads of spare time you could invest it in learning how to program for the web, maybe build a site or something...
Places like this tend to have their beginnings as hobbies for the bored with lots of spare time, so maybe someday your hobby will turn out similar. I used to spend all of my spare time on the net, working on websites and helping other people build them.
I have far less time for it now, but it's still a great hobby and it's given me some useful skills, to boot.
RMT, create websites of different kinds, become a camwhore, ...
洋風なアスキーアートってださい
learn programming and write free software
Role-play
It develops your writing ability and helps others develop theirs too! a good site is z9.invisionfree.com/pandora_ascension
you could make game money from RPGs and proceed to sell them via Internet... It's immoral, but just saying...or you could play for fun. You could go to chattooms, lure children into private chat, and then tell them the dangers of predators... Or you could play for fun. Jk...not jk. Uhhm you can translate stuff for ppl. You can become a mod/admin somewhere...yeah good luck tho

Sup everyone,
Lateley the skin of my legs becomes dimpled. Yeah, it's cellulite methinks (and this is quite sad at the age of 20). So I need some sporty anonymous to give me good tipps for work out because I'm not doing any sport except for riding my bicycle.
I don't want to lose weight because I only weigh 103 lbs at a height of 5.3 ft.
Sorry that I ask here but I already lurked in mgazines and the internet but couldn't find any real usefull tipps.
Anyway I'd also like to use this oppurtunity to train and obtain a orverall healthier body.
Thanks in advance
There's so much advice I could write, but to be honest I think you're better off going to one of the health and fitness boards on 4chan or 7chan and looking around on there, because in the past when I've given fitness advice to people on here it doesn't spur them on enough - you really need a dedicated board to the topic to get enough information because otherwise my post would be massive and put you off reading it. Also, when you post there try to clarrify what exactly you want to get out of an exercise routine - overall health or getting rid of cellulite or both? Try to include information about what and how much you eat per day as well as the exercise you do. The more information you give, the better tailored to you the advice will be.
In short: Eat right and exercise.
Cycling can help a lot, as can running. However, because just cycling or running by itself will only get you so far, get together with friends often and play various games/sports, preferably outdoor ones. The weather is warming up, assuming you're in the northern hemisphere, so enjoy it. Ultimate frisbee is a good place to start.
tennis =D
ahah! A thread that i need most.
Are you talking about cardiovascular fitness or body building?
i can't help but advise you to take up basketball. This will work out your entire body. Even if you are not good at it, just get into a game and just run and keep up with the people this is really a great sport. Or you can run treadmill. Squats, Calf raises, etc. SOOO MANNY THINGS YOU CAN DOO!!!!!
