OT: The Lounge Thread - Part LVII - Fruit fly Edition

[Kairi Zaide]

The amount of weebness here is also laughably low. Most of the talk is about one game that is relatively mainstream (there were around 40 million players a few months ago). We're not even talking about the waifu aspect of the game as @Zaide doesn't do waifus.

No talk about anime, manga or more weeby games.

TALES OF FESTIVAL NEXT WEEKEND

We may finally get Tales of Arise news!

You probably watched Dragonball as a kid too.

Samurai Pizza Cat is not really a dub though, as they wrote a completely different script since they couldn't get proper translation. Same images, completely different dialogue. It's apparently a lot more comedic in English than the original anime.

 

[Mrb1p]

Beyblade
Yugioh
Dragonball
Inuyasha
Pokemon

This is the extent of my weebness

I didn't watch Dragonball.

Only Pokémon, Beyblade a little, and Sakura. And, again, that was so long ago I don't even remember what the characters look like (outside of Pokémon obviously)

Weird, I guess you're older/younger than I thought. Or maybe you're just weird.

I'm still not sure about the meaning of weeb... Do I want to know?

Weeb = Japanophile

I'm still not sure about the meaning of weeb... Do I want to know?

In the early 2000s, derogatory slang terms were created to refer to people who appreciate Japanese popular culture. The term "wapanese" (from "white Japanese", or possibly also "wannabe Japanese") first emerged in 2002 as a derogatory term for a white person who is obsessed with Japanese culture, particularly anime and manga. The term "weeaboo" (later shortened to weeb) came from the webcomic The Perry Bible Fellowship, in which the word had no meaning other than it was something unpleasant.[8] According to an unpublished MA thesis, an administrator on 4chan added a filter on the site to change "wapanese" to "weeaboo," but users on the site quickly picked up the word and applied it in an abusive way in place of the already existing wapanese term.[9]
Kim Morrissy of Crunchyroll wrote that the use of the word otaku in anime fandom can be hindered by the belief of some westerners that its use constitutes cultural appropriation and that it can only refer to a Japanese person.[10]
In a blog post on Anime News Network, Justin Sevakis gives a difference between the two, saying that there is nothing wrong with loving Japanese culture. He points out that a person only becomes a weeaboo when they start to be obnoxious, immature, and ignorant about the culture they love.[11] Matt Jardin from the Alaska Dispatch gave an opinion on the definition saying that weeaboos blindly prefer things from Japan while looking down on anything else despite obvious merit.[12]
