Weeaboo (41)

Is there an official definition of weeaboo?

I've heard it defined as a wap or as anyone who is interested in anime or manga. So what are the requirements for someone to be a weeaboo?

It was a wordfilter on 4chan /b/ for "wapanese". Same definition.

The etymology is no longer obvious, so it makes a useful euphemism. I think that's why it's found wider use than most (stupid) replacement words.

random fact: a wotaku isn't a non-japanese otaku. It's the complete opposite, in fact...

Weeaboo is the word they use to replace w-a-p-a-n-e-s-e on 4-ch. I have no idea why they use it instead of the actual term.

As was pointed out, "weeaboo" isn't a real word, and should never be used outside of 4chan.

It was a wordfilter for a while, and it gained popularity. The mods got it from a webcomic. I'd track it down for you, but I can't be arsed right now.

Well, I've made my little hop across the Pacific, and am once again in hot,
humid, "kawaii" Japan. When people hear that the flight to Japan is around ten
hours they usually offer me their condolences, but I don't mind it at all:
it's much better than flying inside the U.S. at least, with extra-cramped
seats, $5 drinks and multiple connections to your destination. In this
wonderful age of MacBooks and iPods that we live in, there's always plenty to
do to amuse yourself inside the plane. Now that I've been back for twenty-four
hours, have gotten through my "shocked at the smallness of the drinks and of
the buttocks on Japanese woman walking in front of me" culture shock phase,
and have gotten up at 5 am thanks to jet lag, I'm ready for a J-List update.

Besides being hot as hell, August is a solemn month in Japan. In addition to
the anniversaries of the two atomic bombings, August 15 marks Japan's official
defeat in World War II, and like every August in recent years, the issue of
Yasukuni Shrine is in the news. Will Prime Minister Koizumi make an official
visit, or won't he? How will China and Korea react? It's really a sticky
wicket for Japan: there is no Arlington National Cemetery, no Tomb of the
Unknown Soldier, no place that citizens to pay respects those who died for
their country other than Yasukuni Shrine, a beautiful traditional Shinto
shrine located in Tokyo. Since the ashes of fourteen Class-A war criminals
including Hideki Tojo are interred at the shrine, there's always controversy
when the Prime Minister makes a visit. The situation seems not unlike the
occasional uproar over the Confederate flag flying over state capitals in the
American South, and there's plenty of pride and history on both sides, making
it a difficult problem to solve. Except for a very tiny portion of the country
that drives around in trucks blasting right-wing World War II songs and making
fools of themselves, I've never known the Japanese to defend anything they did
during World War II, or say it was okay at all. It's true that South Korea and
China both use the Yasukuni visits partially for political reasons, since
calling attention to the mote in Japan's eye diverts it from the beams in
their own. It's a shame there can't be more understanding on both sides, and
less politics.

August is also time for one of the major Japanese Buddhist holidays, Obon,
essentially a three-day holiday during which the souls of the dead are thought
to come home for a visit. Obon is a time when Japanese head to their "real
home" (the house where their family's Buddhist altar is located, usually their
parents' home), spend time with everyone, and do "haka-mairi," visiting the
graves of dead family members to say hello, leave flowers, wash dirt off the
gravestones, and so on. Japanese Buddhism, more than Buddhism practiced in
other countries, is all about remembering your ancestors, since (as my wife
has told me passionately), "without your ancestors, you wouldn't be here at
all." Obon season is also a time for festivals, including a famous style of
dance Bon-odori (as seen in Karate Kid II, if you'll forgive the reference).
Since millions of city-dwellers take advantage of the Obon holidays to return
home, cities like Tokyo are transformed into relative ghost towns during this
season.

>I've never known the Japanese to defend anything they did

during World War II, or say it was okay at all.

AFIAK though, Japan never apologized for anything they did during the war. What kind of message does that send? I think if they would just swallow their pride, and apologize, it would greatly improve relations with the rest of the Pacific Rim, but yeah, the PM that does this will be commiting political suicide most likely, so the odds of it happening are very slim. Nations as a whole aren't nearly as cold towards Germany as Asia is with Japan.

They're saying then that they failed in their goal but their methods were reasonable, and now that the past is irrelevant to the future, which is of course wrong.

I thought the definition had distinctly changed to being any person, of any ethnicity other than Japanese who is a Japanese "wannabe", or wishes they were born Japanese. Is the term still just 4chan specific? I like it a lot more than the racially-specific, derogatory "wapanese".

Kill them owl.
Don't watch any japanese cartoon that was made after the year 2000. Anything that is deliberately stupid, done without effort, with the intention of degrading all to more stupidity is weeaboo.

All weaboos should be taken out and shot.

Worthless shit that tries to assume good things, turning them to shit in the process. No investment into the creations, no love. Made things damned without a future in which they were made better. Already done the unforgivable so never able to have anything good.

Everyone is capeble of better. There is no excuse for this shit.

Y'see, once upon a time, people who liked japan and japanese shit could be a fucking plague, always interjecting as to how japanw as the best country and anime was superior to all other artforms, etc etc. Generally hating them became a thing.
Ain't really seen that in years.
Seen plenty very eager to interject obnoxiously about how much they hate weaboos, though.

36 Name: Anonymous : 2021-11-24 05:06 ID:EjiybL6u

weeaboos are people in any country that isn't japan who has an extreme obsession with japan and even denounces their own culture for japan.

wapanese stands for "wannabe japanese" and pretty much means the same thing.
