It is ^w^

PT. End of thread.

I saw a Dave and a John at Disneyland the other day. It was... I don't know man, I just couldn't help but groan and face palm.

Today I saw a girl who reeked of weaboo-horror-stories.
She didn't even notice me, but holy fuck I am retracting my power levels around her.

Oh yeah, I just remembered. We're having a party in Japanese class next Tuesday because it's our last day, and I heard that some people are going to bring cosplay. Second hand embarrassment will be had.

It gets better.

I happened upon this while browsing the forums, trying to figure out why my PNG images were losing their transparency when I uploaded them to DA.

The DA forums are a horrible,horrible place.

As dumb as the person in the caps looks... She's kind of right in certain aspects. "Otaku Culture" does exist and is appreciated by many people, but anime is just one of those veins. And MLP wasn't as popular as it is now thanks to FIM.

>>5202005

No,no I agree with that, it's just this person is being an enormous fuckwad and being rude to everyone.

It just bothers me when people who don't like something have to be so annoyingly vocal about it.

"I HATE THIS AND IT SUCKS WHY IS THERE SO MUCH OF IT. WAHHHHH."

Y'know, the "stop liking what I don't like." crap.

>>5201940
I don't even like MLP but shit, son.

this gets me every time.

ANON, WHY YOU PERSECUTE?! YOU JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND GLORIOUS KAWAII NIPPON ~*DESU*~

I've had the misfortune of having my own mini Pixyteri.

>Didn't believe she was Japanese (proudly German) but became obsessed with geisha.
>Is very short with dark hair, took this as an excuse to spend money she didn't have on kimono and accessories
>Actually wore a kimono and geisha make-up to perform for heritage day at her college. Was the only "Asian" there thankfully so the shame was limited when she performed with a fan to a song from Final Fantasy.
>Annoyed the hell out of the kimono dealer at our yearly convention for the entire weekend.
>Went to professional studios to have photos taken of her in her kimonos and with her hair done up in 'traditional style'
>At one point began to sell "geisha jewelry" with business cards made as well with some weeabooish Japanese name she thought up. Jewelry was cheap plastic beading and wire.
>Generally provided years of secondhand embarrassment for all of us around her.

>>5202089
I know more about the kawaii nippon then you ever will. I even use very kawaii kaomoji. Now I throw bomb at you~

>>5202383
That sounds absolutely horrendous.

>>5202383
>although my personal favorite is when she moved in with us for three years and made my life a living hell.

Details!

Yeah, not that much to say here, actually. Sometime near the end of my freshman year her mother, who weighs somewhere near 300 pounds and is living off of welfare, kicked her the fuck out. So she brings a select few items of hers over to our house and states that she'll be staying "for a couple of weeks". We don't have a problem with it.
Foolish family of the past. Why oh why did you not see through this simplest of ruses?
Two weeks turned into two months. They moved out of my bro's room and into the basement. More of her shit kept appearing. Two months turned out to last three years.
For the entire time, she never got a job. My mom's a private practice lawyer, but she still only rakes in a little every month. We're not rich by any means. I jumped at the chance for employment, she loathed it.
It was during her stay that I realized I detest this woman. Loud animu every goddamn night from the basement. I could hear that shit through the heating vents. Cheetoes and Pop Tarts and 2-liter bottles of Coke would appear randomly, each marked with some fucking kanji character. I had a pop tart of hers one morning when I was late for school, and she didn't stop bitching about it for the rest of the day.

I worked in a themepark, a couple of summers ago.

Yaoi-loving cosplayers. Everywhere.
It was a true horror.

There's a weeb stories thread over at >>5181813

>>5201149
homestuck isn't a manga or anime, so explain how that's weebish? with that logic did you facepalm when you saw the staff at Disney in costume as well? No seriously are you retarded?

>>5204126
What country?

>>5204154
I agree with you about the Homestuck not being weeb because weeb = Japanese fixation, but your analogy doesn't work at all. Paid staff in costume at a theme park really =/= amateur cosplay from people attending

>>5204169
wasn't making an analogy there, my point was if I fucking dressed up as batman and was called a weaboo for it, the accuser in question is wrong. Motivation for doing it was never a part of my argument

>>5204163
Denmark.

Here is a short story of one of the horrors;
I worked at a burger-bar in the themepark, and this was one of the less busy days, so I was the only one there.
Suddenly a HUGE group of Kingdom Hearts cosplayers showed up to buy burgers. I had served burgers for a lot of other cosplayers before then, but this group was so big that I had to ask "Will there be some cosplay meet-up or something later? Pre-con?" - At this point I had stopped going to danish conventions, so I was just being curious as pre-con would mean: meeting old friends.
They all went absolutely batshit, screaming "KYAAA THIS GIRL KNOWS WHAT KINGDOM HEARTS AND COSPLAY IS!!!!!!".
They told me, while excited that nothing was going on and that they were just there for the fun of it, because going to theme parks in a cosplay is SO fantastic and not at all fucking embarrassing. Then they proceeded to ask me about my favorite Kingdom Hearts pairings and other inappropriate things.

Meanwhile I was just hoping that my boss, who disliked me, didn't accidently walk by and overhear anything.

>>5202383
That feel! That's just like my kimono friend. She fancies herself a chef so if you let her into your house, not only will she eat a ton of your food, she'll mess up the place trying to make a simple meal using three times the pots and pans as she needs.

>>5204189
Uh no, like I said I agreed with that part. But nobody is gonna facepalm over Disney mascots in Disneyland just because they facepalm over homestuck cosplay in a theme park.

>>5204189
It's the whole, "Dressing up in public for no reason aside from dressing up" factor. If I saw you walking around the street as Batman and there's no convention, movie, anything; you're just Batman, damn right I'd laugh at you. Even if you were at an amusement park, I'd still laugh at you. You would be making a spectacle of yourself.

>>5204196
That, friend, is why you don't let your power level show.

Personally, though, I don't mind seeing cosplay groups wherever (though with theme parks with rides I think wigs and props are always gonna be dumb). If I saw a group of shitty cosplayers, I'd feel bad wherever I was. If I saw a group of awesome ones, I wouldn't hate on them for being somewhere it's not usually seen.

>>5204189

I think it's more the connotation of the word "weeb" that people are refering to, not the actual definition.

You think of weeb, you think of a very specific type of person. There's not really a word that's Western related that brings about that image.

Nerd and geek certainly don't.

>>5204242
Not the point I was getting at. They were categorized as weebs and that's the problem, they weren't called geeks or nerds, but weebs which is specific to those who are generally non-japanese and have an obsession with the culture. Dressing up as Batman or Disney is not the point. Also if when did weeaboo ever become an overarching term for all things nerdy, and not specifically for otakus, why even use that term if it's so non-specific?

Out of curiosity, if someone where to cosplay a Disney character in one of their amusement parks, would it still be weird?

>>5204243

Being laughed at or being made fun of for dressing up isn't the point. If you are dressing up as a comic book character not related to japan in any way you shouldn't be categorized as a weeaboo, stop looking so far into this.

>>5204250
dweeb

Here I was thinking that maybe the Holocaust has humbled this prideful race.

But nope. Every fucking Jew I see are more racist than the redneck town I grew up in. And I'm Asian.

Fuck Jews.

>>5204279

yep, they'd probably be called a weaboo for it.

>>5204287

Doesn't have the ring of it. "Weeaboo horror stories" "Dweeb horror stories".

Besides, the only people pissy about this are probably homestuck fans who don't want it to be known their ilk are actually weeaboos.

Just because they're not currently cosplaying something from Japan doesn't mean they're not fans or acting in a weebish manner.

connotation over denotation.

>>5204339

when does the actual denotation of a word fall short of it's connotation? you alone can really decide things like that? what's even the point of using the word if it's going to be used incorrectly? That's perfectly fine though NIGGER.

>>5204372
Ironically in this place people constantly use 'nigger' but don't mean black person. Almost as much as 'faggot'.

I'm with you, though. It's gotta be comparable to Wapanese to be weeaboo.

>>5204372

You just lost your own argument dude by resorting to the "I can apply this to anything look at me!" argument.

I mean really, weeaboo and by extension "weeb" is a made up word of the last ten years. You really trying to compare it to a word with a history of negative connotations and oppression and a negative denotation? Really?

You gonna bring up WWII next?

Hell weeb doesn't even have a straight definition, it's one of many. One of which includes being such an attention whore they'd do anything to get it.

Like cosplaying at a theme park.

>>5204339

who said you had to say dweeb. YOU CAN SAY "GIGANTIC FAGGOTS WHO DRESS UP LIKE TOOLS IN PUBLIC" or anything for that matter. So just because it has a better ring to it, it's okay to be retarded about it? What's even the point of using that word if you want "EMBARRASSING WEABOO STORIES" rather than anything else. So if I saw a guy dressed as spiderman dancing aroung in the street like an ass, it's acceptable for me to post in this thread about that? Would you all really enjoy me not actual providing stories about weeaboos, but semi-related nerdy stories? Seriously why put a false label on a thread that's the main question I'm posing here. I honestly doubt star trek convention stories would really be welcome in such a thread and I would be criticized for complaining about people who are doing shit related to star trek (it would be off topic).

>>5204396

If it's an entertaining story about someone behaving like a jacktard/socially-inept moron/creeper, than yes, people would love to hear it.

That's what the thread is about. Stop arguing semantics you autistic dumbass.

>>5204393

wat? Way to completely miss the point. Where are you getting this from I called you a nigger because that's exactly the point, you probably aren't and lol the fact that you jumped on that of all things is pretty funny. So okay cool I start posting in this STARTREK NOW LOL. Oh and if you feel the need to be as petty as you were about the nigger thing, that was a joke as well.

>>5204422

Just stop. You fucking morons ruined the thread with faggotry.

Take it to a forum that cares about the definition. We just want hilarious stories of socially-inept dumbasses.

>>5204412

so why not say creepy stories then as the thread title? Why be specific if you're just being general?

>>5204396
You must be either that John or Dave. You're seriously freaking out over something so small.

>>5204438
that'd be fitting wouldn't it, but no. I actually don't even like homestuck I think it sucks personally. Just hate when people use the term weaboo incorrectly. Also the person did prove me wrong when I said nigger lol. Just seeing how long I could drag this out

>>5204437
Creepy stories = /x/

>>5204455

lol you're right! this was fun lets do it again /a/

>>5204450
>hate when people use the term weeaboo incorrectly

u guise srsly srsly u guise

>>5204450
oh my god who the fuck cares. If the whole weeboo, weeb, or dweeb thing bugs you so much you need to get a fucking life. It no big deal.
that being said can we please get back to the point of this thread.

Nah this is a wreck, just go to >>5181813

Or is it in autosage?

>>5199424
What's a weeaboo?

>>5204488
It's autosaging, unfortunately.

>>5206740
New thread would be better than continuing this one then.

>>5206754
Made a new one here: >>5206780

>be 16 at second con, chubby, not cosplaying
>black guy comes up to me, he's 27
>starts talking to me and asking me personal questions, says I'm cute
>asks how old I am
>"I'm 16..."
>"Oh, you're legal."
>NOPENOPENOPE
>tell him I'm a lesbian and my girlfriend (my best friend) is over there and waiting for me

Not nearly as bad as these, but it still creeped me out.

>>5207257
