bump

I hope to god those kids are in middle school.

Fucking lol at that kid playing a "Chinese" game in a Japanese Club.

It's like...I don't even know, but I want to slit my wrists.

>>2594071
could be. I've seen worse when I was in high school. "Ravers" who wore an assload of candy, listened to Japanese techno music all the time. People who bought all their clothing at Hot Topic. People who didn't take baths often. Girls who wore cat collars and animal tails.

"In Japan, they go to Kentucky Fried Chicken for Christmas so it'll be fun to mimic that as a club says President Rae Botsford"

I lol'd. I don't know why. Maybe how pathetic that is? Because while people me like spent hours slaving in the kitchen to glaze a Christmas ham, these idiots let their weeaboo shine.

>>2594071
>>2594076
They look more like high schoolers at least.

>>2594084

"In the kitchen", you say...?

I hope you're a woman.

>>2594096
Far from it. lol, though I do feel comfortable being in the kitchen.


Anyway, shit like the OP's pic reminded me about if this happens in Japan. Then that reminded me about that comic about the reversee weeaboo.

>>2594104
reverse weaboo?

>>2594150

The Japanese trying to be white. Or black. Or anything other than Japanese.

>>2592191
This makes me want to barf.
Then it reminds me of when I was a weeaboo.
/deletes pictures

Back in a writing class I took my first year in college I had this one kid in my class I loathed more than any other. You know the kind. Always wore some Invader Zim or FMA shirt to class, always piping up about "Japanese" story elements. I think the point where I nearly shoved my pen in my ears was when, during a conversation about some Chinese story we had to read, the subject was brought up about how we as foreigners took the stories meaning. He piped up, not with discussion, but with fervent certainty that we should be called 'gaijin' as opposed to 'foreigners'

tl;dr Fucking weeaboo faggot in my writing class can't keep his fucking mouth shut

the entire anime society at my old high school was a weeaboo nightmare, save for like 5 or 6 sane individuals.

>>2594237
I thought an asian trying to be white was a twinkie or a banana. Yellow outside white inside.

I love the fact that they say they are not about anime but everyone os wearing cat ear hats and anime shirts

>>2594104
Show this comic of reverse weeaboo. I would relish it.

When I took Japanese 101, there was this fat weeaboo girl with a super annoying southern drawl. She couldn't pronounce anything, said "desooo" till the end of the semester, and frequently tried to correct the teacher (who is Japanese and a native speaker) because it was different in some anime she saw or whatever. She'd also make these incredibly complicated and pointless cross-references to how every Japanese word originated in Love Hina. It was just...unbelievable.

WHY ARE THEY WEARING SOMBREROS?!?!?!

>>2595103
You got it....

>>2595163
They're clearly emulating the Japanese who are fans of Mexican culture.

>>2595199
So that makes them reverse-reverse-weeaboos?

>>2595226
Feel free to run screaming into the night now.

Was talking to a girl, and she thought it'd be awesome to speak in Japanese because she knew I liked anime. She proceeds to speak in a high pitched voice in random Japanese phrases. I kindly tell her to "shut up" in Hindi, a language I learned from some Indian friends. She replies with a "Wow, your pronunciation is horrible!" when she didn't understand I wasn't speaking Japanese...

I was a weeaboo from about 8th grade to 10th. I wasn't as bad as a lot of stories I read on here, I wasn't even as bad as some of the people I still see at cons. I did wear cat ears. I did NOT believe I was a cat, demon, hybrid demon, or anything other than a human who wore a headband with two fuzzy triangular pieces of fabric on it because I thought it looked cute at the time. Some people liked them, but some people made fun of me, so I kept wearing them for spite. If you think about it, we can go on all we like about how immature and childish weeaboos are, but how mature does it make you look when you're tormenting and being a complete asshole to a perfect stranger every day at school because of something they wear on their head? I mean really, get some perspective. I looked like a loser for a few years; i wore the ears and the fuzzy animal hats, I went through a naruto phase, i read manga between classes, but in the end I kept to myself. I never bothered anyone. So when I see younger kids acting like dorks, I don't go into a pissy rage. Most of them DO get over it, and as long as they're having harmless fun, I'm not gonna be the stupid asshat raining on their parade.

I'll never forget the weeaboo I encountered in my English class. She always wore "geeky" shirts from HT and had greasy hair. We were supposed to go outside of the class for an assignment and we simply stayed outside and talked. A topic that came across was careers. I go to community college (I had a good ACT score but I don't want to spend money for a 4-year until I need to). This girl was speaking about how she'd love to be "outsourced" to Japan as a graphic artist. I saw her yaoi drawings on her binder. They were mediocre at best.

She then proceeded to speak about glorious Nippon and how she'd work as a graphic artist over there. I asked her whether she spoke Japanese. She didn't and wasn't taking a class.

I then proceeded to tell her she was dumb for thinking they'd hire her, a gaijin over a Japanese native. That Japan has a bigger talent pool of people willing scrap and fight for a job in her area and that she'd luck out 3 months at most before moving back home. She was saddened and started attending school less. Her English papers were pure crap. I'm glad I put her in her place.

>>2595568

>>2595568
Thinking about how she probably felt after you crushed her dreams made me sad. You should have let her down more gently.

>>2595568
you know, it's possible to set someone straight without calling them dumb. at least if you're not a bitch.

The weaboos at my school are unbearable. Goddam, and half of them claim to actually be Japanese, though they clearly aren't. One girl wears ugly "lolita" dresses and cosplay to school. She talks to me like she's educating me about Anime and Japanese culture (brings it up every single second of every single day) when she's one of those people who only likes Naruto and Bleach and doesn't know what she's talking about. She thinks that being an Otaku is something to show off/shove in people's faces. She only knows the typical annoying Japanese phrases which she uses all the time. I try to get her to understand that I don't care while still being nice, but she can't take a hint. GUHH.

>>2595568
man, you sound like a bitch. Dream crusher.

>>2595652
I was tempted to go farther than that but I thought dumb was appropriate. I've seen a lot worse stories on /cgl/ concerning weeaboo treatment.

>>2595644
Personally I'd rather crush her goals than see her on LJ cry about how she's broke in Tokyo and can't find a job. Sometimes you must spank the child to let it know it's screwing up.

>>2595752
You didn't spank the child, you punched it in the face and told it you don't love him.

>>2592191
Best thing in this picture is the Koi.
Also, not sure if anybody else caught this, but...
>Japanese Club
>Playing a Chinese Game

>>2595801
>Thinks most people are nice to weeaboos and me calling her dumb and making her know that she's not going to get hired in glorious Nippon as a graphic artist from a 2-year college is being an utter bitch.

>>2595801
>>2595752
>>2595751
>>2595652
>>2595644

I see this quickly devolving into a long fight of "YOURE A BITCH." "NO, IT'S CALLED TOUGH LOVE."

Here's my two cents. don't try to pretend like you really care about someone's well-being after bragging about how your mean comments made her so depressed her school attendance dropped. There IS such a thing as being blunt without being mean. For example, "It's almost impossible to get a job like that as a foreigner in Japan, why not be a graphic designer here in America?" And if she still doesn't listen, drop it.

>>2595819
I know most people aren't nice to weeaboos, and your not a utter bitch, just kind of a bitch. Instead of full flavored bitchiness, you gave kind of a generic bitchiness, over-the-conter bitchiness if you will.

>>2595855
It wasn't in a nasty voice. I was just trying to get her to quit her shit. She was annoying and wouldn't stop talking about anime and going to Japan because she knew I was an anime fan.

>>2595875
And that's what gave it the watered down bitch flavor. You should have gone for the full sneer and condescending tone, while asking if she believed in Santa as well.

>>2595889
I lol'd. Nah. I'm actually quite nice IRL and abide to the "If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say it" rule. I was lying to you bastards to see what kind of a reaction you former weeaboos would have. Whether self-hate or this. I did think she was annoying and such but I just told her it wouldn't work out in Japan. She ended up going less to school because she wasn't interested. She was failing in her core classes. Last I remember she was just going to college to figure out her stuff. But her English papers did suck.

Ive never posted in one of these weeaboo threads before, but here goes.

When I was in high school, I took art up to Art IV till my senior year. There was this one scrawny, awkward girl who had been in my art classes since freshman year. She drew (horribly drawn) color-pencil dragon ball z yaoi and turned it in for her projects every week. One comic had Goku and Piccolo singing karaoke. Good lord. She wore an oversized naruto sweatshirt, the naruto headband, and a fox tail.

I was going through photos I had of my boyfriend, who cosplayed Vincent Valentine. My friends didn't know who he was but thought it was cool nonetheless. The weeaboo girl comes up to us and pulls out a printed picture of my boyfriend as Vincent out of her pocket.

I wtf'd. Hard.

>>2595987
I would've been so creeped out. Who does that e_e?

>>2595987

There's a guy that lives in a dorm on the other side of campus from me that is your stereotypical creepy old sweaty neckbeard. He has a whole binder full of pictures of my cosplays because I'm one of three or four on campus and I'm apparently "The prettiest *wheeze*"

The anime club on campus sends me fliers every week because he's one of the officers and he wants me in the club like nobody's business. But all they watch is DBZ and the original Gundam, none of it dubbed and all shitty torrented quality. It's run by a crazy old fat Catholic hippie woman that just sits in the back and naps and smells like shit.

I almost wish I had my high school anime club back. It was relatively sane and run by one of the English teachers. We watched everything from SDF Macross to Yu Yu Hakusho and basically every Miyazaki movie under the sun. The teacher in charge accepted absolutely no shit from any of us and the really bad weaboos were kicked out until they could behave like civilized human beings.

Its not entirely impossible to make Anime/Manga in Japan.

My wife had a Bachelors in art, but a shit-ton of personal drawing time/forum posting/graphic design work in America. She put together a big pile of art and mailed her portfolio off to groups in Japan, and got a job in California working for a graphical editing company and money to make animu shit to sell to japanese companies.

Makes about 75k a year, and its not the best job..but shes doing about as much as an American can do I guess.

>>2596259
http://hinoai.livejournal.com/
She's a gaijin who's a manga artist. She helps make "New Prince of Tennis".

http://www.jamieism.com/
Better link.

I used to know this girl. Real fucking winner.
Southern-Princess type.
She only liked Naruto, Bleach and Inuyasha.

And she didn't even watch them. She just knew roughly what they were about and claimed to LOVE THEM TO NO END.

One day I asked her if she had ever seen FMA...
She said yes but she did not like it because Ed did not believe in God, and there fore that anime was unholy... FFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUU.

She was 17 and watched Bleach in front of her folks and thought nothing of it. Even during the "BAANNNKKKAAIII" moments she was just "Shut up, Dad! Ichigo is kicking what's-his-names ass!" (What's-his-name is fucking BYAKUYA.)

Don't imagine a "Jeeesh, dad" *Wheeze* kinda voice, but THE most annoying teenage girls voice you have EVER HEARD. Like a Southern cheerleader...

She cosplayed as Kagome once... It was a white sweat shirt and a green pencil skirt...
I killed myself.

Oh god OP pics is making me lol hysterically.
"ON THE CONTRARY..." followed by pics of girls in character hats and a guy saying everyone in the club is obsessed with anime. Hilarious.

>>2596491
Her not wanting to watch FMA because it disagrees with her personal beliefs doesn't bother me, but the rest of that is pretty obnoxious.

This girl I used to go to school with would wear cat ears to school every day. She hated all the "Mary Sue" female characters in every anime she ever watched. EX: Relena from Gundam Wing. However, if you slapped a penis on that Mary Sue it'd surely be the male version of half of her favorite yaoi pairing for that series. EX: QuatrexTrowa.

She had massive three-ring binders filled with laminated pictures from her favorite series that she printed out from the internet.

She took Japanese for years but never put any effort in to studying it and was content to spend most of her time writing the shittiest gay porn ever. Seriously. With in ONE PARAGRAPH it would change from the first person perspective of Character A to third person to the first person perspective of Character B and back to third person again. Her favorite euphemism for "penis" was "love wand". JFC I wish I was kidding.

After taking three years of Japanese she still wasn't able to say much else outside of your basic Wapanese lexicon. "I like lemon" was a favorite of hers. "Lemon" of course meant porn-y fanfictions in this context.

She ended almost every sentence with "no da!" or occasionally "na no da!" after seeing Fushigi Yugi and deciding that she was the most like Chichiri.

Then she decided "Fuck that, I want to be like Duo." so she started wearing a shitty wig to school every day and randomly going "Kitto OK!" at in appropriate times.

One day I pissed her off and she decided to insult me in Japanese. I guess she meant to call me "baka ningen" (loosely translated to mean "stupid human") but since her Japanese sucked ass she instead called me "baka ninjin" ("stupid carrot"). I lol'd.

>>2596491
>Ed doesn't believe in God

Unlike Naruto and the gang, who attend christian church on a regular basis.

>>2596504
That's the part that bothers me. Christfags piss me the fuck off.

>>2596524
>>She hated all the "Mary Sue" female characters in every anime she ever watched. EX: Relena from Gundam Wing. However, if you slapped a penis on that Mary Sue it'd surely be the male version of half of her favorite yaoi pairing for that series. EX: QuatrexTrowa.

This is a common trend amongst most faggy yaoi fangirls I've noticed.

>>2596540
Hahah, so true. Apparently there's some "kill Relena" anti-fan site. Why would you waste your time hating on a fictional character from some old-ass cartoon?

>>2596557
I wasn't in to Gundam Wing, but I remember everyone HATED Kagome. I still don't get it. I like Kagome. An anime female actually standing up for herself is rare.

>>2596565
They just wanted her out of the way so Inuyasha wouldn't be distracted by females and follow his heart to Sesshoumaru and buttsex.

>>2596524

This case kinda hits home with me. I used to have a friend that was obsessed with Duo as well, but took it to higher extremes than your friend did. She would dress like him EVERY day (not just braid her hair), carried around a plastic sickle around her house, and tried to act and talk like him constantly, and showed me DuoxHeero yaoi pictures she printed off the computer when I would see her. She was home schooled during that "phase" so she didn't endure that much public humiliation.

But when she came back to school after we stopped being friends however, she had a new obsession: Michael Jackson.

>>2596579
It's not that rare, and I don't hate Kagome but she really didn't do much except scream "INUYASHA!".

>>2596589
>she had a new obsession: Michael Jackson.
I really hope that obsession didn't involve yaoi....

>>2596595
and inuyasha didn't do much besides scream "KAGOME!". and miroku didn't do much besides hit on women. and sango didn't do much besides slap miroku for hitting on women.

repetitive show was repetitive.

>>2596598
It was more shota based.

>>2596598

I have no idea if it did but I can tell you she wore a white glove on one of her hands every day.

>>2596607
lol
>>2596615
oh geez

>>2596259
Holy shit son your wife is living the dream. An attractive woman who really went to Japan, sold her shit, and lived to tell about it. I'm sharing your wife's link to everyone now. Woah.

>>2596491
Former atheist turned future Judaism convert. Granted it kinda annoys me how atheistic the manga is, but, I watch it regardless because the story is very good and because it's DEEP. If she can't keep her faith together by watching anime, I hope she can withstand college or something.

>>2596742
I put the link up and I don't have a wife considering I'm a straight female. I think you're confusing me with the poster I was replying to.

I'd post a story, but that would make me an epic hypocrite, considering I out-weeaboo'd every weeaboo I've met.

Seriously. "bishie binders", dividing up claims to anime boys among the friends, naruto jacket bought at Hot Topic with Naruto's visage on the back, calling all my friends by Naruto names+chan/sempai, only watching anime dubs when they were on Cartoon Network, tried to get my parents into it, thought I was totally the shit when I cosplayed on Halloween for the first time...

Very glad I grew out of that phase, yet at the same time, I miss the fun I had, being blissfully naive of how incredibly stupid it all was.

But at least I never thought I was going to make it big in Japan. Shit, I never even thought I'd ever even end up VISITING Japan. Hooray for being aware of my middle-class status!

>>2596536
Yanno, you thinking you're so much bigger than people who believe in something different than you make you JUST as ignorant as the "Christfags" you berate.

>>2597057
This brother. I hate it when atheistfags just rage when they have the excuse.

I can see where Christfags are getting butthurt, that tends to happen when people are constantly proving your religion wrong.

I used to think I'd make it big in Japan. But then I woke the fuck up and realized I didn't even have the talent to impress a bunch of otaku kids.

>>2597136

u mad, churchie?

>>2597289
>>2597198

Nah. Agnostic here. Tired of everyone singling out Christians and forget that atheists are just as annoying.

Protip: When you're annoyingly vehement about your beliefs and are an asshat about it, agnostics don't like neither of you.

>>2597447
>When you're annoyingly vehement about your beliefs and are an asshat about it, people don't like you.
Fixed that for you.

>>2595546
i mainly feel like this. i was a little bit weeaboo once. i think most heavy anime fans go through a little bit of japan worship at some point. cuz other cultures are neat in general, and anime teaches you a lot about japan. and some of it is neat.

however, i think there's a difference between liking japanese culture in an intelligent way and just blindly running around being misinformed and retarded. normally, i'd say weeabooism is harmless unless they're really dumb and ignorant to the point where they become racist or culturally appropriating. weaboos who aren't like that can become fairly interesting people one day. if i see racism or anything i usually correct it with the most patience i can muster and then silently rage.

>>2597136
>>2597057
>>2597447
Signed.

Weeaboo story: when I was in high school in 2000, the art club ended up turning into the anime club. The town was sort of famous for its murals and the school's art club did one every year. We ended up doing an anime mural one year. It was all kinds of nostalgiafaggy and full of shoujo.

For some reason it's still on display.

>>2597457
I guess that works too?

>>2597447
So you're an agnostic theist?

>>2596540
my best friend is a yaoi fag. other than that, she's sane and not a weeaboo. she also watches gay porn and tv and does this. she hates pretty much any female character in a series, especially mary sues, but also any female character a male character might have interest in (as far as i can tell, at least half of all misa misa hate people have for the character, not the cosplay, comes from this.) the only female characters she likes are the incredibly butch action heroines with flat chests... basically men with tits. all male characters are secretly gay, and all male characters who are gay, even if they are otherwise annoying or mary sues or anything are automatically gods.

do they want to be guys? i mean... they do know that they don't have a penis, so no gay male is ever going to be interested in them, right?

>>2597509
Nah. It's just I've seen asshattery from both sides.

there's this guy in my high school who is a fucking pig disgusting neckbeard narutard. the kind with glasses that wheezes and constantly sniffs for no reason, with shifty akward eyes and and stupid posture. well, i was printing out a picture of dante and nero for a friend who needed cosplay reference. he saw it and instantly tought i was a yaoi fnagirl and started stuttering and doing this spit talk with sniffing and weezing and started to tell me all his dante fantasies about getting fucked in the ass. for some reason he thinks i enjoyed that and now everyday he comes and weezes shit in my ear about how many guys he did in his dreams that night, or how much he'd like ichigo to do him.

i found this extremely annoying, i hadn't even talked to him before, i can't even remember his name!

>>2597597

I so would've punched that sucker in the gut. That shit is creepy and he's too old to be that socially retarded.

Also.... Narutards still exist?

I intend on going to my local library since I found out they have a "DDR Night" and a "Manga Night". I have to go and take photos of the weeboos in there. So I can laugh later. That is if I can stand to be around the people that end up there for more than 10 minutes in a small space.
To annoy them, I plan on using the word "Japanimation" to refer to anime. I want to see their faces.

>>2597619
Gee you're sure gonna tell them aren't cha?

>>2597597
goddamn that guy is creepy. you should mace his ass.

>>2597619

xD ur super edgy

>>2597057
I hate religion and I'm not afraid to say it to anyone. Faith isn't a virtue, it's just shutting down the part of your brain that involves critical thinking. You're not automatically evil or stupid if you're part of a religion, but you're an enabler at best. If I hate a system, why should I like the people who help keep it alive?

>>2597447
I don't single out Christians. Muslims and Jews believe just as much crap. I don't like any theistic religion.

One of my best friends is the most annoying weeaboo I've ever met. She has other qualities that are good, and I really like her as a person, but god damn it. She is so freaking annoying. She will not stop singing Jpop and anime songs really badly and at really inappropriate times. As in I'm in the middle of talking to her, and a song pops into her head so she starts singing and I have to sit and wait for her to shut up so I can finish. She also keeps doing retarded anime and Jpop dances. All the time. And she continually overuses memes. Sometimes at very inappropriate times. I try to have a serious conversation and she responds to everything with a meme. Worse yet, she likes to act like she's really cute and moe and crap. She's always striking little cutesy anime poses. God help me.

>>2598115
oh and don't forget the sound effects; "nyan!" "kyuuuuu~" etc etc.

>>2597057 Yanno, you thinking you're so much bigger than people who believe in obvious fairytales


fixed that for you....

>>2598128
See, THAT'S how you act like a bitch.

>>2597597

>>2597597
Ewwwwwwwwwww! You have my sympathies.

I alienated myself from most of my friends in high school once I found out that they liked anime. I liked it as well, but I wasn't so blatantly nerdy and LOLKAWAIIDESURANDUM!!!111! about it. At one point, one of them decided that the Cultural Awareness Society(which I was a part of) and the Anime Club should team up. There was a get-together one night at school and someone popped La Blue Girl into the classroom VCR. Facepalm and immediately quit all extracurricular activities to live out a lonely social life.

>>2598115

Ugh, the first half is exactly like I a girl I know. The only music she listens to is J-Rock and she used to make us watching J-Rock interviews and videos all the time, her being the only one who got why it was cute or funny or whatever. Every thing we talked about, she would say how it reminded her of some J-Rock singers. If you were talking in a group and she had nothing to say, she'd just start singing. I don't get it. I've been obsessed with my fair share of things, but holy shit. I have more than one hobby at a time, at least.

>>2598177
Well, I'm not sleeping tonight...

/cgl/, I will let you take this information as you will. I spent age 10-16 an unbelievable weaboo. After typing this out, it's a lot less interesting than I thought it'd be, but I've wasted 30 minutes on it, so you're getting it anyway.

I was just a little girl with a lot of video games at first. Our family moved a lot, so friends weren't always my number one priority. Instead, video games were. My parents worked hard to make sure that while my siblings and I didn't lead the most social of lives we never went without. I would stay up late playing Zelda, Mario, Sonic, and Super Street Fighter II. (I specify the Street Fighter I was playing only because with the others I would switch games.) I became obsessed with all of them. However, while these obsessions have lasted until now, I found myself face to face with another obsession that to this day I am not sure has changed me for better or worse. However, I do not regret any of it.

It started with happening across Sailor Moon when I was 9, which lead to Dragonball Z and Pokémon and what would turn out to be the rest of my life. I had my own fan characters at 10-11, who were all quite Mary Sue. Some of them I still look at fondly and will draw from time to time, simply because of sentimental value. However, most of them were abortions. One of them was Bulma's cousin who was totally a Saiyan who was supposed to marry Vegeta but liked Krillin better. I don't fucking know what my deal was, I was 10. But I know all I did in 6th grade was write fanfic and hate math. I desperately searched for anything to get me more of these particular series. I would scour AOL for anything, EVERYTHING, and print out pictures of characters I had no idea about because Cartoon Network hadn't gotten that far yet. I sent Cartoon Network a threatening letter when they stopped DBZ in the middle of the Freiza arc. I started reading manga (again, mostly things like DBZ and Sailor Moon), and also discovered Final Fantasy VII. This was only by chance, as I'd held no interest in the games before. This was not an obsession yet, but little did I know it would play in later.

I began making friends based on video games and anime. (Which, at that time, I pronounced "ah-NEEM", or simply called it "Japanimation.") If they didn't like anime, Nintendo, or care at all about Pokémon I stopped caring about them. I still managed to have some normal friends (at least in comparison), but more often than not I'd find out their brother had a Playstation and what should have been a weekend full of girls giggling and painting each others' toenails turned into me beating Crash Bandicoot. I started "loving" Japanese culture. And by "loving" it, I mean embarassing myself by pretending I knew Japanese or had Japanese relatives. I was blond with blue eyes. I wasn't fooling anyone but myself and my 2BA Master CD.

In seventh grade, it only got worse. I would choose to take the art classes, then turn nothing in but bad fanart as my projects. The teacher would tell me I could do better things if I tried to draw my own things, and I refused. I began to wear boys' clothing, only because they made no anime shirts for girls. I would mimic gestures I found in anime (scratching the back of my head while saying something embarassing, running with my arms straight, it was ridiculous), and found what would definitely change me as a person entirely. Gundam Wing and Ronin Warriors. Holy shit. Looking back, neither anime was all that great (though Ronin Warriors was definitely superior) and I was still only exposed to whatever shit they'd put on Cartoon Network. But then, Toonami was still good and I trusted it. But this, at the end of my 7th grade year, is where true obsession began. I threw away everything I had that was DBZ, for I'd found something better. I would print picture after picture of fanart, official images, everything in my room was covered with Ronin Warriors <i>something</i>. I named pets after the characters, even at a point began pretending I was Anubis' girlfriend. Yeah. The internet and me were best pals at that point, it could do no wrong.

Until I decided to look for Gundam Wing fanart instead one night.

This would mark the first time I'd seen "yaoi", and while it shocked me then, the next year it would not. My obsession with Gundam Wing and Ronin Warriors stood strong, and my 8th grade English project was a long ass, awful Gundam Wing fanfic about a girl who was Trowa's sister but for real and fell in love with Quatre who she helped recover from getting sick. I got a damn A+.

Summer break came on fast, and though I'd busied myself with my Nintendo 64, after being egged on by friends and relatives, I finally started playing Final Fantasy. (I had a Playstation at the time as well, but it was mostly for games like the aforementioned Crash Bandicoot and Tomb Raider.) I picked up both Final Fantasy VII and VIII. I did not take it seriously at first, because frankly I was too damn busy replaying Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask. I didn't even LIKE my Playstation all that much, I would tout to everyone Nintendo's superiority and how companies that work with Sony only WISHED they could make something as cool as the Nintendo 64. By this point, Final Fantasy IX had already come out, but I was so engrossed with my new beloveds in FFVII and VIII that I would not truly appreciate this game until later. By the end of summer vacation, I was writing fanfic about how Cloud and Seifer were fighting over me but that both of them lost to Sephiroth who truly, truly loved me.


And then 9th grade happened. I started it with wearing nothing but Gundam Wing shirts and carrying around my Gundam Wing artbook in my Ronin Warriors folder. I had the rest of my folders covered in Final Fantasy stuff. I cared little about my outward appearance and frankly, sometimes TRIED to look like a boy simply because anime taught me that "boys are cooler." Someone chanced by it, and I was introduced into a crowd that though I would eventually escape, I felt truly welcome in. All we did was talk about how cool this character or that character was, or how we were all going to go away to Japan and marry a nice Japanese man and have beautiful Japanese children. (Seriously.) And then I said what was probably the worst thing I ever could have said:

"Do you guys like Final Fantasy?"

This introduced me into a new aspect of my life that is truly the most embarassing part of this story. We began to talk about Final Fantasy X. I had heard little about it, and didn't have a PS2 to play it on (and wouldn't for at least a few months after the game came out). However, I had let my group of obese, acne ridden new friends convince me wholeheartedly that I was Yuna. I was THE Yuna. I was actually Yuna and that I needed to save this world from Sin. Now, this was cute back when I was 9 and wanted to be/pretended to be Sailor Moon. I'm pretty sure every kid did that once. But I was 14 and this was ridiculous.

They became my Guardians. We would walk to different points at the school (calling it our "cloister of trials") and I would pray to Fayths and gain 'summons', who were other friends who later turned out to be furries. Before long, I began my first cosplay costume. I was 100% convinced I was Yuna.

Until I played the game and said "Guys I don't want to be Yuna, she's supposed to die at the end." That ended that, and thankfully I was over being convinced I was the incarnation of a character less than a year after being convinced I was that character. I always liked Rikku better anyway. This caused most of these friends to disband, except for a small handful. The next year came, and though my number of friends had depleated, summer break turned out to be pretty fun with the few left. We'd play games together, laugh, and have fun sleepovers where we'd introduce each other to new games and new anime. Of course, back then "new anime" meant shoving our asses all around one computer and attempting to watch Perfect Blue and Revolutionary Girl Utena after downloading the realMedia file on dial up.

However, the handful that remained and I became heavy into yaoi. We began talking more about boys kissing boys than the Mary Sue fanfics we were writing and to this day I'm not sure which is worse. We would go to the library and print out full yaoi doujinshis. It's a wonder we didn't get suspended.

Then, our first convention happened. I begged my mother to go, and was allowed to attend all three days of this first convention with her picking me up each night. Considering my mother was doing her best to shelter me, this was a big damn deal. This would also mark my first cosplay experience, except I was never really cosplaying. Instead, I would find cosplayers and believe THEM to be as close to the real characters as they could be. It became a flirt fest. All I wanted to do was hit on this guy or that guy, and with most of them being older than me (and despite my love for yaoi at this point, a lot more sexually minded), I was easily taken advantage of. I was convinced several of them loved me, and though some of them would keep in contact (and none were all that perverse, I clearly remember only receiving one kiss at that convention--the rest was just flirting and awkward hugs), one of them convinced me that he and I were 'destiny.' He was everything I wanted my 'destiny' to be. Japanese (or so he told me--he was at the very least Asian though, so he had a convincing argument) and tall, beautiful and knew just what to say to me to keep me on the edge of every word. He told me we were like this character and that character from some manga about ninjas I'd never heard of. He treated me like I'd never been treated before. I was truly happy.

Except he was twice my age, I was 16 and when my mom found out, he became angry at me. He told me he hated me, that he didn't want to be with me and that I'd never "really be" like "that character".

I promptly went back to engrossing myself in video games. This did not stop me from attending conventions (or liking anime), but suddenly the glitz and glamour I'd seen in being with a Japanese man wore off.

fk I had that hoodie when I was 15. So embarrassed now.

Now that is quite something.
That truly is.
A good 10 minutes of my time used to read that tale
I could go on with these short sentences
BUt I wont.
How old are you?
These are the things im thinking.
You seem like you grew out of it

dude it took you 10 mins to read that? Holy shit, did you not read any books as a kid?

>>2595568
No, just no. What you did was unnecessary.

>>2598520
She could have DEFINITELY gotten a job as a teacher. How do you think there are around 30,000 weeaboos in Japan right now?

>>2598515
Yeh.. except I'm asian already

>>2598524
>She could have DEFINITELY gotten a job as a teacher
good luck with the competition, where educational references are more important than experiences as you will recieve training.

>>2598531
Being asian does not make you japanese nor an excuse for being a fucking weeaboo. Anyways, most japanese people hate other asians. Why wouldn't they, the rest are in a lower level than they are.

any japanese girls living in europe here bac?

>>2595916
LOLOL I TROLL J000

>>2598540
Wanting a japanese girlfriend when I was 15 doesn't make me a weeaboo now. I now like girls of any ethnic background as long as they are attractive.

Seems like you're the weeaboo with your Nippon is superior to all other Asians complex.

>>2598557
Not at all, its just the way it is. Its how the rest of the world look at the Japanese in comparison with the rest of Asia.

>>2598567
Orly? Where do I find this official ranking?

If you were as well-travelled as I am, you'd know.

there is an anime club at my local library that plays two hours worth on shit shows, once a month. i asked if i could bring in some shows once, and they agreed as long as it was decent. that fanbase was 12~18.

they approved everything until delivery night, where BOKU NO PICO was embedded at the very end. i am banned from the library.

>>2598579
Oh, so you've traveled to every continent and polled every person on those continents for their opinion on "asian rankings" .

Who the fuck does that?

From what I've seen people would "rank" asians based on their own bias. This ranking shit is just bullshit and stems from their weeaboo-ness.

>>2598602
Continents, including their islands, bitch.

You're just butthurt cause you are obviously chinese or korean or who fucking cares and you hate when someone tells you about the superiority of the japs. How does it feel that such a minuscule country is infinitely better than yours?

And no I'm not a fucking weeaboo, I'm just saying the truth

>>2598609
Shut the fuck up. Japanese here, and we aren't the best country in Asia. Haha, because being the source of many of the historical atrocities in wars makes us the best.

Oh but we may be 'the best' in terms of anime / manga shit like that though.

If you mean hierarchy in terms of advancement, then I'm sure that exists unofficially. But one cannot compare one Japanese person to let's say a Chinese person and go oooo the Japs on a higher level because he's jap.

>>2598609
Feels good to know that this "truth" of yours is just a retarded opinion. Go compare a well educated and successful Chinese/Korean/Whatever person to a japanese bum who lives on the streets and tell me that the Jap is on a higher level. Enjoy your truth weeaboo.

>>2595568
You're my hero.

zomg internet faggot says hes japanese so im going to believe it.

>>2598628
butthurt korean

>>2598655
wanna fucking test me? I'm a girl by the way.

>>2598655
lol. Replying with the typical "butthurt" shit . I guess your faggot ass weeaboo logic is too shitty to continue this huh.

>>2598664
o. Still bro-girl fisting you! That didn't sound right but NVM...

>>2598664
i want a cosplay girl ;__;

>>2598655
I'll have to agree with this. Koreans are the most butthurt out of all the Asians with the Chinese coming in a close second.

Oh my god, in my Japanese class there's this Southern-accented weeaboo faggot who, though not vocal in class (thank god), is annoying. After class she was talking to me about what anime she watches, and says she "isn't into shows that are really popular." Then proceeds to tell me how much she loves Death Note. And she carries a Full Metal Alchemist Bag. I just wanted to scream something like, "IF YOU LIKE UNPOPULAR SHOWS, GO WATCH MAGICAL POKAAN OR SOMETHING." Also, she's one of those "Hot Topic Misa's" that are all over at conventions - no wig, just threw on some black clothes, etc. Pisses me off.
And she's actually BETTER than the girl that was in our class last year. One day she actually asked my brother to give her a list of popular anime, so he listed what was popular and airing at the time. Of course she didn't watch them. Last I heard of her she is vaguely aware of K-ON now, but that's right on the verge of being ruined the way Haruhi was. And she's part of the problem. Every time I see one of these threads, though, I thank (some sort of) god that I don't know some of the people you guys do, though.

My weeaboo story?

This woman. Ask her about the hentai she's writing. Ask her about the characters named Gojyo, Orphan, and Jellylorum. She plans voice the lead female and get it animated. She asks any voice actor she meets to voice it. Last one I remembered before the friendship broke off was good ol' Vic Mignogna.

I could go on with other stories, but the hentai part is the probably the shining one.

>>2598609
It's funny because I'm pretty sure Korea is way smaller than Japan...

i used to call my friend (naruto name)-senpai
i used to call everyone baka or some other japanese word
my friend used to write stories about me having sex with a naruto character

Fortunately I was never a teen, Therefore I was never able to turn into a weeaboo and maintain it through the rest of my life.

Worst I've seen annoyance wise was this girl in my Japanese class. First time I ever saw her and she starts talking to me about Fruits Basket non-stop. And I say "yeah, it's one of my favourite anime". On this moment she stops, grabs my shoulder and hisses "the manga is much better".

Now everytime she goes to the class at the same hour as me she talks to me like I'm a cancerous cell.

>>2598628Go compare a well educated and successful Chinese/Korean/Whatever person to a japanese bum who lives on the streets and tell me that the Jap is on a higher level.

This is just as stupid as the post you were replying to.

>>2598859
THIS THIS! Everybody knows the bums are all Koreans.

There's a guy in my anime society who has no sense of personal space, doesn't wash and is just an all round asshole.
What i don't get is....no matter what obscure anime reference you make, no matter how old or how niche the series is, he'll know it.
I know quite a few obscure series but only by name; couldn't tell you anything about them other than i've heard of them.
He can tell you plot, cast...pretty much everything about the series.
This wouldn't be so bad if it wasn't for the fact it's in a holier-than-thou "im better at this fandom thing that you" tone.
No you are not better than me. In fact, i'd be ashamed of the fact that i have no other life other than watching to the point that i can name every fucking series and have likely seen it too.

There's also a n00b on a forum i help run who's convinced she's Russia from Hetalia.......

ITT; A few people who are stupid enough to think that Japan is more superior than China.
We all know that China could kick anybody's ass.

I've told this story a couple times on 4chan, but not on /cgl/.

In high school there was a girl who was about a year younger than me. My mom used to tutor her so we kind of knew each other. Everyday at lunch in the computer lab she would print out tons of pictures of anime guys. Not tons of different pictures, but dozens of copies of the same guy. Usually Sesshomaru or Ash Ketchum, she'd keep them all in her binder. I never really thought much of it, I just assumed she was a retard when it came to printers.

We also had PE the same period as me. One day she had decided not to participate and was sitting in the corner of the gym with her binder over her face.

Me: What do you think she's doing?
Friend: Sleeping probably.
Me: *jokingly* Or maybe she's making out with her binder.
Both of us: LOLOLOL

After class I ended up walking behind her on the way to the locker room and caught a glance of her open binder. Inside was one of her printed out pictures of Sesshomaru, his face COVERED in saliva.

I go McDonalds with my friend and there's a huge gang of weeaboos eating. When they finished eating, they went in the front of the counter and shouted ARIGATO GOZAIMASU. Everyone facepalmed.

>>2598941
Seriously, WTF?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

>>2598952
*facepalm*

>>2598941
That almost sounds like creepypasta.

>>2598567
Err, not really. Your typical American doesn't know the difference between one Asian nation and the next, and I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of people think samurai come from China. However Japan does consider THEMSELVES superior. They're really quite racist as a country and they hate non-Japanese Asians almost as much as whites. (The older ones, mainly, young people are more open minded.)

My high school Japanese class went on a cultural field trip, and during the ferry ride home (Washingtonfag, yeah) there were 3 stereotypical weeaboo kids; they weren't from our school, so they were probably in middle school. One of them had a Naruto jacket, one had that Bleach hat, and so on. They'd clearly just been to Hot Topic or somewhere and bought every anime thing in sight. The most weeaboo girl in our class immediately bonded with them, running up and ranting in a very fast, high-pitched voice about the awesomeness that is Naruto and Bleach and Vampire Knight and whatever else. The girl with the Naruto jacket talks to me a little, I wished they'd all just stfu, but I grinned and made a remark about "what kind of ninja wears neon orange? what a master of stealth." the girl excitedly shouts "because he's a genki knuckle head ninja!!!" or something. the girl from my class and the three weeaboos then started dancing hare hare yukai, without music. they had the moves woefully wrong and skipped huge parts of it that they didn't remember. And no, this was not before the full dance was released, it was long after.

there's a very ita lolita who goes to my former high school. her dresses are all either obviously home-made or obviously ebay-purchased. i'm not against offbrand, but this stuff is just ugly. and she wears them to school daily. she does some things that are just confusing, like having a lime green petticoat under a black dress. and i'm pretty sure she wore tennis shoes one time. she speaks with this speech impediment that I thought was real at first, but it turns out she fakes it to be cute. she does pretty crappy anime drawings and she used to show them to me and say how she wants Vic Mignogna to sign them. she gravitated to me because i'm too nice to blow people off; most of her other friends got sick of the fact that she can't stop bad mouthing everyone. i'm sure she talks shit about me to anyone that'll listen, too. i'd say she has moderate social retardation.

ITT: weeaboos pretending to not be weeaboos

>>2599347
I know I am a weeaboo, a lot of us are, just not to the retarted extent like some people.

>>2598115

She sounds like one of the girls in my friends group.
She refuses to listen to anything that's not Japanese; you recommend new music to her and it's "I only listen to JAPANESE music".
She doesn't shut up about her favourite band members and it doesn't occur to her that noone else is interested.

Worst is when she tries to act cute.
There's two girls in our group who do it; her and another one.
She goes' "nyah" and "desu" and makes random noises that is apparently something cute in Japanese............made up on the spot more like. But she doesn't realise it doesn't make her look cute. It makes her look mentally retarded - a 20-something who thinks she's an anime high school girl.

The other girl only just gets away with it because she looks like an anime high-school girl; not that she tries; she's just small, baby-faced and very loli-esque. Looking at her you wouldn't think she was as hardcore an anime fan as she has no obvious weeaboo tendencies other than the "nyah"-ing and the overuse of the word "baka".

>>2599600
This makes me remember this friend of mine... She thinks that she's extremelly geek and extremelly otaku. The kind of person that labels herself as otaku. While the Death Note hype she would sit in classes like L.

Notice we are in university.

She would also answer her phone with that L retardation pose and with "mushimushi". She would call me baka and call teachers kisama when they asked why she was drawing girls in weird clothing instead of paying attention to whatever they were saying. Fortunately enough she was not a bad artist.

She would also randomly sing songs from games and animes with an horrible high pitched voice and if we asked her to shut up she would lecture us about the American Ammendment of freedom.

We don't live in America.

So I guess she is a weird mix bettween Americanist and Weeaboo.

>>2598520
>>2595916

I was lying to see what kind of reaction /cgl/ would have. Read moar.

>>2596973

lol I remember one of my friends having a bishie binder during our weeaboo years.

>>2597492

Go back, take photos and show us.

I was kinda bad back in high school.

The first anime I watched that I realized was anime was Trigun subbed. Got it all from Kazaa. Loved it, but that's not what made me into a horrible weeaboo.

My first 'cosplay' was Link for halloween at school, and I did EVERYTHING wrong. I didn't bind(boobs were like Cs at the time), closet cosplay, used yellow hairspray on my brown hair which made it look green and rub off, kid's silver plastic shield and sword. I don't have any pictures, but I think looking at them now would make me suicidal.

Someone then told me a few months later about a con in May. Got a real cosplay together that didn't fail nearly as hard. At that con I saw an epic Naruto skit involving like 50 people in stage. It looked awesome, so I decided to check out Naruto. Enter weeaboo ness.

I wore a naruto headband to school once in a while, mainly for civvies days. Granted it wasn't the huge metal one, this one had a soft plastic 'protector' so it worked more like a headband, but still.. I wore it around my neck sometimes and I thought I looked cool.

My messenger bag, not anime branded at the time, was full of NaruSasu buttons. I didn't draw much, and I didn't wanna show people what I drew if I did. I also never wrote any fanfiction because I was sure I would be horrible at it.

Cosplayed Sasuke the next year, cut and dyed my hair that way, and even wore it to school on Halloween. At cons I did some embarrassing poses publicly with friends. Even wore ears and a tail with my Sasuke costume once. Friends called me Sasuke hime and ohime sama. It was pretty bad. But the Narutarded ness only last 2 years at most, and now I think I lost all of my weeabooness since then.

Took Japanese class in grade 12. Passed with a 95, did not alienate other classmates much. Just sat with the only other non asian kid who happened to be brown. Good times. Never went back

Why do you guys keep defending yourselves? Look, you wanted attention and to be different. I could go around wearing a ninja mask and a sword on my back because it "looks cool" to me at the time, but in reality what I'm telling everyone around me is LOOK AT ME LOOK HOW DIFFERENT I AM HEHEHE. You guys would be annoyed if football fans walked around wearing helmets and pads for no reason. Then again, this is /cgl/ and you guys legitimately enjoy shit like Gurren Lagann, Trigun and somehow relate to the majority of people at anime conventions (immature young adults/teens).

>>2599723
Agreed with you until I read Gurren Lagann

Nothing wrong with mindless fun. Not DEEP enough for you bro?

>>2599730
Gurren Lagann was fine until episode 8. Big big downhill slope from here. I would understand if you guys were big Mazinger fans or something, but it's just a "convention flavor of the year" addiction.

>>2599730
>>2599732
Alright, on second thought, change that to Death Note. Death Note is a far far worse anime with worse fans and yet somehow people think it's legitimate.

I was in grade 8 or 9 and I was getting teased at school so I yelled all the Japanese words I knew at them assuming they would think I was calling them something bad.

My friend beside me in class was so embarrassed.

>>2599732
I don't cosplay. It may not be a masterpiece and it certainly is overhyped, but, come on. The manry in that series was beautiful.

Also, if you mentioned after episode 8
.
.
.
.
.
..
Kamina was overrated. Srsly.

I don't know if I could be called a weeaboo.

In 5th grade I got a Sailor Venus shirt for my birthday from a friend and wore it weekly. It was my favorite shirt.

In middle school I put pictures I drew on the inside of my locker. I also had a comic art class I was in and I drew manga, but my teacher said I was really talented and should go into comics. Pfft.

In freshman year I wore a panda hat in the winter, but since hats weren't permitted during classes, I had to take it off. I also had to do an English assignment on "how to's" and I did "How to not look like an idiot at an anime convention"... I look back at it and feel stupid. I started cosplaying that same year, and a friend brought in pictures of me in cosplay, and I was SO EMBARRASSED when they fell out of his backpack all over the school. I seriously spent the lunch hour in the bathroom crying because I was so mortified.

After that I got more cynical and started acting like a "normal" person.

>>2597492
Do you live in Maine by any chance?

/a/. oh c'mon you fucking normalfags you're all weeaboos.

>>2595199
ahh... tite kubo and his love for tacos

>>2599347

I'm fine with someone being a weeaboo, as long as it doesn't shine like a beacon off your Naruto headband from 1000 Hot Topics away. Like most of the stuff in people's personal lives, you just keep that shit out of public.

A girl once full-on back-handed me in the face because I said I wasn't in to yaoi. I would have hit her back but she she was a perspective student at the university I attended and my school's policy on disciplinary infractions is zero tolerance. Plus, the fact that she was a minor and I was over 18 would have made it look kind of bad if things got serious.

Later, she launched in to a long-winded speech about how it makes her mad when people say they hate yaoi because "love is love!". She then reacted in the typical "OMGYURIEW! R U LEZBN?!?!?11one" way most deranged yaoi fangirls do when I mentioned that I liked yuri.

After I said "yes" she suggested that I find a "bishie" because they supposedly look like girls with dicks.

She sat in on my Japanese class and greeted everyone as "minna-chan".

Upon discovering that I had been to THE GLORIOUS NIPPON for a class, she was stuck on me like douche on John Meyer. She started adding "sama-san" to the end of my name and asked me all sorts of dumb-assed questions about Japan based on what she had seen in anime. (I was there studying earthquakes lol.) The students that were hosting her couldn't stand being around her so they gladly shoved her off on me once they realized she liked being around me.

She followed me to my dorm room and talked about how she was OMGJUSTLIKE this one girl from this one anime and how her criteria for a boyfriend was based on the traits of the love interest of the girl.

SHE THEN PROCEEDED TO TUG A HUGE CHUNK OF HER HAIR FREE FROM HER HEAD AND ATTEMPT TO SUBTLY DROP SAID TANGLED WAD ON MY FLOOR.

I finally had enough and told her to gtfo and take her hairball with her.

>>2600022
I lol'd. That chick has issues.

>>2600022
If she wanted to practice speaking what little Japanese she had learned with me, I would have understood and have been happy to help. But it's that crap-ass "otaku Japanese" that never fails to get under my skin. Even after I kindly explained her "sama-san" was idiotic and incorrect she was like "Lol I think it sounds cute desu!" and kept using it.

That and she slapped me. Also, hair on my fucking floor. I think I was actually more disgusted with that than the slapping in some way. I hate germs. FFS.

>>2600070
You should've reported her to your dorm for physical/general harassment. You can't get rid of annoying people but the options are to completely get out of their way, punch them in the face, or get them in trouble with school

Punch in the face usually works.

oldfag here, wee?

i was mabye 18 at the time and was a huge moonie. this was fine and dandy and all with a catch. i was the only one i knew in area who liked anime at all. i used to go rent the newest vhs tapes of whatever the video store got in of a.d. vision's releases. why i didn't see i was a total retard who had no clue then i don't know. i am happy i have grown outta that stupidity.

>>2599689
>>2599689
LOLOLOLOL I TROLL J000000

>>2600083
>You should've reported her to your dorm for physical/general harassment.

This. These people generally act without thinking of the consequences or the feelings of others. If you reported her and she got confronted by the authorities, it would have been a figurative slap in the face for her when she finally got in trouble for doing something retarded.

>>2598715
100% agree. Plus koreans are racist as fuck.

>>2600197
Pretty much this. Most of these kids get away with their bs because they have no one who scares them standing up to them and hands them their shit.

>>2598897
Yeah, only if you guys used all your citizens for a big shield.

Bu then again, that might be good for China.

>>2598897
>>2598897
Even though China got ass raped by the japs some years ago? Yes China has a waaay bigger army than any country in the world, but they are like ants. They can be a lot but are fucking stupid and you can just step on them

>>2599623
>>2599600 here

This girl went through the same phase.....still does somewhat.

You're not a Britfag by anychance?

>>2599740
We totally stopped watching that on the same episode.

Brofist.

>>2600355
Haha, meant to quote
>>2599732

And away I go.

So, this girl decided that I was the female reincarnate of L from Death Note because of a love of sweets, a slight resemblance and an anxiety disorder that makes my behavior seem eccentric.

She then decided that we were destined to be together and started dressing like a character from the series that was the other half of her LxWhoever OTP.

She handcuffed me to a table and I decided I never wanted to see or hear about her again.

>>2600391
LOL.

So that white shirt + dark pants combo doesn't seem so smart now in hindsight does it?

>>2600407
My work uniform used to be black jeans and a white shirt and she discovered me while I was on my way to work and was like "OMG L!!". Then I learned what Death Note was. Then I was unhappy.

>>2600022
OMG ARE YOU A GEOLOGYFAG TOO?!

Sorry...geology really excites me, I'm majoring it it.

Just happened last week. I'm a senior in high school but because I switched programs half way through high school, I'm taking French with juniors and sophomores. Most of them are pretty cool, not annoying. But there's one girl who is
1) The size of a fucking house
2) A teacher's pet
3) A NARUTO HEADBAND WEARING WEEABOO.
So, in French, we were discussing the fact that French has adopted many american words, i.e, "downloader" has become a verb, "le webcam", shit like that. Hispanic people were sharing their stories about how the same thing happens in Spanish and Portuguese. Then, this fucking (non-asian) weeaboo raises her hand. I know what's coming, but I don't know how bad it's going to be. Because she is a teacher's pet she gets called on even though the discussion has gone on too long already and we have to move on in the class.
"The same thing happens in Japanese, you know. For example, the japanese word for boyfriend is BOI-FRRENDO~~"
Holy fucking shit I nearly shat myself in anger.

Geography. My area of specialty is hazard prediction, perception and prevention. Basically, I want to do urban planning with disasters in mind. So when my not-geography class went to Japan and had to pick individual topics to research while we were over there I chose earthquakes (volcanoes, too) and how the Japanese people prepare for/deal with them.

But yeah. Isn't it neat?

im japanese so i encounter a lot of weeaboos.
i want to ask them to stop showing off their "japanese-ness" to me (speaking weeaboo japanese, trying to outsmart me, lecturing me about "my culture", bragging how they know some people in tokyo etc) but a lot of them get angry and give me the "stupid bitch thinking she's all awesome because she is japanese" attitude when i hesitate to compliment them etc.
help me cgl?

>>2600679

Punch them in the cunt and tell them they'll never be more Japanese than you.

>>2600679
dont associate with these kind of people
or just "cool story bro" them

>>2600679
All of us aren't like that, I swear. I'm honestly reluctant to speak Japanese with a native on the rare occasion that I meet one in the states. Unless they speak to me in the language first, I avoid it because I don't want to look like the asshat you just described.

Honestly, I would just ignore them. When they lecture you on your own culture tell them that while the programs that they watch might have some general accuracies since they aren't natives it can be difficult to see what is and isn't true. Point out that what they're doing would be like a Japanese person lecturing them based off of what they learned from Batman comics.

Hey Fash. :3

Engrish =/= Japanese.
Boyfriend = kareshi (I think).

>>2596491
Sucks you were trying to hit it?

>>2600706
Yeah, it's NOT boifurendo, I know. That's like when I thought "torikustaa" was how you said "trickster" because that's how they said it in some Sailor Moon song (rashiku ikimasho I think)

I was pretty bad when I first played FFVII. I really wanted someone to fangirl with, so I tried to tell my friends the plot hoping they'd be interested. I cosplayed to school on Halloween one year, but I was embarassed and went home early.

I stopped bothering everyone when I found a friend that was into it, though. Now I just talk about anime with friends that like anime.

Anyways, in the ninth grade I knew this girl who LOVED anime. She had traced drawings of Inuyasha, Heero, Ed, etc. on all her binders. Always had Yu Gi Oh cards, and would try to brag about how great her collection was. She had greasy hair, greasy skin, smelled bad, everything.

The really odd thing about her was that she claimed watching anime made her a lesbian. And she'd tell all the girls how much she wanted to touch them, and how if she ever had a sleepover or overnight field trip with them, she'd definitely "take advantage" of them. Sometimes, she'd tell girls they were so hot she'd be raping them very soon. She was in my PE class, and we all changed in the washroom stalls rather than risk being in the changeroom with her.

So naturally everyone assumed anime makes you weird like her, and I learned to hide that I was into anything even vaguely related to Japan.

Some loanwords do appear often enough and I myself get confused of some word usage because I hear it often enough even though it's not that commonly used.

This is why trying to learn speaking Japanese from music, anime, and dorama is a bad bad fucking idea. >>2600679
I feel bad for you but you should tell her to quit that shit. I wouldn't give a fuck what those weeaboos think; lecturing someone else about their culture is basically verbal weeaboo masturbation.

Also, honestly it wouldn't freak me out to see most Japanese (Then again I live near a bunch of them so the novelty wore off). There are 300 million Americans and there are 150 million Japanese. Most of them settle in the west or east coast. It's not like you're meeting someone from Bhurma or something.

Mary Christine...where do i begin

She was in two of my classes in college and everyday
She'd say she'd want to travel to japan and teach English there. She'd wear a jack skellington jean jacket every day and she'd try talking to me to draw fanarts of her fanfics being the artist I am. She's got this high pitched nasally nasty voice and blurts out random Japanese every other minute.

This thread is a melting pot of embarrassing stories. I cherish each sip from the ladle.

>>2600897
Hint: Most of these people here were once those weeaboos in the group picture once. Makes me sad man

>>2600629
I think I just broke my neck with that twitch. FFFFFFUUUUUU-

There was some incredibly fat greasy-haired weeaboo at my high school who tried to talk to my friends and me whenever he saw us. He thought we were best friends or something because we both went to the anime club. He always wore the same nasty anime t-shirts and tried to start conversations about Naruto and Bleach during lunch, and when we ignored him he started making that stupid crow sound from Naruto that was a pun on the word "aho" at us. He spoke up way more than he should have at the most inappropriate times in class and just ended up embarrassing himself, and he always argued with my friends and me that One Piece was an American show, which is why he never watched it. He only watched the subtitled shows, because he's way better than the English language.
There was also some creepy hunched-over chick who always breathed through her nose like she didn't know how to use her lungs correctly. She was in several of my classes and tried to sit by me whenever she could so that she could spout some shit about her favorite Yu-Gi-Oh pairings and how she made herself shirts with them on them. She had this absurdly nasal voice that made me want to punch her in the face.

I'm taking graphic arts classes, and I'm actually not into anime. "But anon, you're on /cgl/ you faggot!" Yeah, I know, I cosplay from video games, I don't know about Bleach or Naruto or any of that crap. Anyway, all my classes are full of obnoxious weeaboos with giant egos. They all draw shitty generic anime shit and think it's the best fucking art ever. I mean, these are the typical Deviantart whores, right? They draw shit and then hang out with popular people because pageviews/friends = quality to them. They can't take criticism but they have no problem criticizing other people. They all get together and treat art as one big circlejerk.

My classes also end up turning into shouting matches between the students and teachers. The teachers want to see a specific assignment, and the students show up with anime shit (for instance, the other day in my illustration class we were doing caricatures, and this girl showed up with a big-eyed pointy-chinned anime "Sarah Palin" which it not a proper caricature of her.) so the teachers lecture about having your own style, anime sucks, etc. etc. and then the students start shouting about how GLORIOUS NIPPON is superior etc. etc.

I want to fucking kill myself because these are the people I'm being associated with in my field of study. At least I know that if they keep this shit up, I'll make it farther in this field than they will. :D

you can complain, but can you draw?

2600679 here
thanks i feel a lot better now. sadly, i really needed this. there are way too many underaged weeaboos where i live and it doesn't help that im the only japanese cosplayer in the local anime community.

Wow..just wow. I knew people like this and they disturbed me to no end.

I'm not sure if I could be called a weaboo though. I did go through a Naruto phase but that involved me watching the anime and reading the manga religiously until the fandom scared the crap out of me and I bowed out.

Otherwise, I only cosplay at conventions, only speak Japanese in my language classes or when I was in Japan and I don't talk about anime and manga all the time. I do read manga in classes occasionally, but then I read other books in them too.

With my friends we don't use Japanese in conversations, we do talk about anime and manga occasionally but we are not crazy freaks that can not find anything else to talk about. Also only one of the girls I know that draws does yaoi and fanfiction and she draws them very rarely. The rest of us draw our own stuff.

I like to think we have a healthy life style that does not include anime/ manga in every part of our life. I mean we like it but if we hear weaboos or fan-girls, we do run the other way ^^.

Oh god, this thread.

I think I posted like a weeaboo when I was 14, like, on the internet, but I don't have any humiliating stories, because that part of my memory is mostly blocked off.

I do remember trying to tell my eighth-grade teacher what manga was. She probably just thought I was a freak. Then again, I'm painfully socially awkward as-is, so I've probably done some of the things that are being talked about in the thread and I just can't recall because I don't think they're a big deal.

Okay, I do have something to say to this....

I think that most people have gone through their typical weeaboo phase... mostly when they first get into anime and don't really know all the rules and more complicated shit. I know that I was... I wore cat ears to school, had a Japanese name, used Japanese words in every day English sentences... looking back on it now, I realize that I am rather ashamed... but at the same time, I had FUN. I don't do any of that stuff anymore, but I'm not going to pretend I didn't enjoy it while my innocence lasted. Insult me how you will... but even now that I've matured, I don't regret getting swept away in the obsession.

Though I can assure you, I will NOT go out in kitty ears.... and I get irritated with people who use Japanese in their sentences....

Oh man, there is a kid at my work who is in his twenties and is STILL like this. He has a worthless degree in history, reads manga to show it off in the breakroom, and tries to tell anyone who will listen about his ~brillian!~ fanfiction. It's embarrassing and physically painful that people associate my hobbies with him because he is terminally socially retarded.

>>2600679
I have the same problem. Despite me knowing more about manga than I should, I'd probably never talk to anyone about it. I pretty much never talk about anything Japanese related to whites anymore, even if they're close friends. I can tolerate Asian Japanophiles a bit (since all Asians are stuck in cultural limbo in America anyways), along with any cute girls. Japanophile white guys, not even otaku, tend to be downright horrible in general.

I'm glad otaku in America appreciate Japanese culture, but ethnicity is not a pair of jeans. It's not a trend. It's not a game. Bitches need to stop treating it like one.

And really, out of the hundreds of Japanese I've met personally, the number of them who are even remotely otaku can be counted on my hands. So if you want to be a typical Japanese person, then anime is how not to do it.

i became addicted to cosplay, anime, hentai and magna and my gf didn't like that. I spent >$1,000 on related stuff. She is gone now.

>>2597513
I really wonder about that. I sat near a girl on the bus that wrote Naruto yaoi fanfiction (mostly GaaraNaruto stuff) and one day asked her why these characters always had to be gay and not bi and in a threesome with her self insertion character, which like every fanfic writer in the anime club had. She gave me some crap about how "asexual" she was and she wasn't interested in that fantasy and two boys together is the most kawaii.

If she were that asexual I can't understand what pleasure she gets from boys plugging each other in the butt.

One day a weeaboo somehow picked me out from a crowded train platform. Wasn't wearing or carrying any anime paraphernalia and didn't know him previously, so how he did it is anyone's guess.

He sat next to me on the train and started talking really loudly and pretty much shoved his art book filled with Kamen Rider/tokusatsu stuff in my face. Not too bad, but for some reason he felt it was appropriate to flirt by rubbing my mouth. It was the longest train ride ever.

>>2602426
should have flirted back. Introduced your fist to his face and boot up his ass.
