Maybe you should've made this ITT: Shitty weeaboo people thread.

>or having candy themed prints everywhere

Oh, so she's seen the endless legions of girls in BTSSB.
Those are the stereotype for a reason.

>>2660754

She is mostly inspired by weeaboo sources, manga with a heavy importance of fashion, like Paradise Kiss. I guess if I brought her one of my Gothic & Lolita Bibles, she'd be a bit... surprised.

Alright

ITT: Shitty weeaboo people thread

the concept of "weeabo" is something I've never truly understood; I mean I get the basic concept, but it seems to be thrown around in a really inconsistent way.

for instance, I've been told by people who "hate weeabos" that I'm not one, but I get called that on egl all the time for normal shit like eating ramen at a con (surprise, I'm a poor student). what the fuck?

>>2660783
inb4 go suck a jap dick

>>2660783

It's ok to eat Japanese food, to like Japanese culture, etc. But when you start to randomly babble Japanese in front of people like "kawaii!", or like "omedetou!", then that is... worrying. When you try to shove it to the others, that's when it gets annoying to me.

>>2660795
Don't Japanese people use english terms in conversations too? I know in songs they do, and I've heard it in movies too I think. Isn't that sorta the same thing as using japanese words in english?

>>2660810
no because those are loan words. derp

>>2660810
it's a matter of mindset. I actually am a jap (many generations American, lol), and from when I sit it's more matter of ignorance, arrogance of the culture, combined with INTENSE social incompetence.

for the record, bitter haters using the term "weeaboo" is about as much as a turnoff.

>>2660815
So what's the difference between a white person saying "kawaii" and a japanese saying "cute"?

>>2660830
There isn't. But apparently Japanese is sacred or something.

What about Taco Bell Spanish? No one complains about that. Because it's not Japanese.

>>2660830, see >>2660819

saying "kawaii" as a white person to someone else who gets the culture is no big deal. insisting on being all "ohayou gozaimasu, nya~!" to people who don't like you or don't give a shit comes off as poserish and really pathetic.

also, the people who did that were such a cancer, there was a backlash in the con mainstream against any form of overt otakuism. personally, I travel a long way to go to cons, people aren't as uptight about it here.

>>2660830
We have a proper English word for "cute", and it is "cute".

>>2660842
Or the german word Gesundheit, nobody yells "Germaboo" after someone sneezes

It's not just about using japanese words, though. :|

It's when some faggit is so obsessed with anime, that they wish they were japanese.
They try and (half-heartedly) learn japanese so they can brag to all their friends about how "otaku" they are or some bullshit.
They run around screaming "KAWAII-DESU" in a language that they know 30 words of.
They want to move to japan to be a MANGA-KA just like their favorite animu.
They intentionally eat ramen non-stop, because it's the only way they can feel the "asian culture" and they think it's cool.
Or they eat everything with chop sticks because they think it makes them more japanese or some bullshit.

ALL IN THE NAME OF ANIME!

I actually personally find any excessive use of a language while holding a conversation in another fucking obnoxious. Doesn't matter what the languages involved are, it just sounds stupid. Japanese people speaking English, too.

>>2660850
I think they should. That would be hilarious.

lol@ the discussion of english loanwords in japanese language. you guys need to learn some history before you claim an english-speaker saying japanese words because they sound cool is the same as a japanese person using words that have been accepted as part of their language, sometimes for decades before they were even born.

>>2660867
>Or they eat everything with chop sticks because they think it makes them more japanese or some bullshit.

This shit makes me rage so goddamn hard. My mum is Malaysian. She taught me how to eat with chopsticks when I was around seven or eight years old. I enjoy eating asian noodle soups, and chopsticks genuinely make them easier to handle.

I'm sick and tired of being in the food court at the mall and having obese fucks in Naruto headbands stage-whispering to each other OH MY GOD SHE'S EATING WITH CHOPSTICKS, I WONDER IF SHE'S JAPANESE?! THAT'S SO AWESOME I'M GOING TO EAT WITH CHOPSTICKS TOOOOO MAYBE SHE'LL NOTICE ME

And then they drop soy-sauce slathered cheap sushi all over their stretched out weeaboo t-shirts.

>>2660849
and the japanese have a proper english word for it, kawaii. you haven't shown why one is okay, and not the other.

>>2660867
>>2660874
I get where you're coming from, I really do. I have really negative response to like 60% of the people at a con (inb4snob).

let's be realistic, though. having and interest and trying your best at it is not really a big social sin, and it's inevitable that a lot of people will fail to do a good job. and really, talking about some anime concepts is just easier in japanese, and when the people you're talking to you also speak japanese... not sure if I see the big deal.

I also hate it when weeabos are talking about this series/anime/videogame and call it in their Japanese name, when there is an English name for it.
Some girls spend a whole year randomly talking about a videogame calling it by its Japanese name, when it had an English one... and I didn't get what the fuck they were talking about.

>>2660900
because Japanese people who use English words are usually fairly normal (for Japan anyway, let's not kid ourselves) but Americans who use Japanese words are almost always like "ZOMG JAPAN IS SUPERIOR IN EVERY SINGLE WAY EVER BOW BEFORE EMPEROR BAKA JINGAI KAWAII DESU~N!" That's defined as not normal.

I use the term to describe the particular breed of con-goer that seems to have adhd or asbergers and can't act their own age.

Maybe it comes from being more sci-fi vidya con oriented but some anime con goers make me cringe.

>>2660899
I don't get why being able to eat with chopsticks while being a westerner is seen as being a weeaboo.
I'm a westerner and I've known how to eat with chopsticks since was very young about 6(-ish).
I don't know about you but I rrraaaage everytime someone decides to make a comment about me using them while at an asian style restraunt.

>>2660985
It's not being able to eat with chopsticks that's the problem.....Who cares if you're using chopsticks at an asian restaurant?

It's when they try and eat obviously western food (like.......a pork chop. Or mashed potatoes.) with chopsticks.

>>2660999
lol mashed potatoes? with chopsticks? overboard

>>2660985
yeah, the Japanese aren't the only ones who mainly use chopsticks for eating.

>>2660999

I knew someone who ate pudding with chopsticks. In public. People stared.

>>2660908
personally, I do that. I don't watch dubs and I usually don't even know the english title (if there is one, often a series will have a bunch of english titles, which gets confusing. use the japanese title, the actual one. sure, if it's well-known or you're talking to someone that obviously has a problem with japanese, don't.)

>>2660663
>posting on /cgl/
>I hate the weeaboos in my class.
Stoped reading.

uhhh to all the people posting about chopsticks. I grew up on chopsticks, and I eat western food with them all the time. yeah, mashed potatoes and shit are stupid, no need for chopsticks; but there's load of shit that I use chopsticks for.

fyi, my house has maybe 5 forks in it, total.

>>2660663
>I know more about lolita (and about manga wtf) more than they ever will

in b4 40 and 300 pounds.

>>2661021
Wait wut, how did that work out? I would think that would get really messy.

>>2661050
wtf? it's awkward and unnecessary, but not difficult. imagine eating pudding with your fingers, or off of a straw.
