I always thought that a weeb was someone who wasn't Japanese but basically lived and acted like they wanted to be. Now I don't feel that the above applies to me at all but to others they assume that I am.
1. Video Games
I love em! Just so happens that Japan made some video games and consoles.
2. Anime
I grew up with cartoons. Naturally I like anime aswell. I like colourful things and stories, sorry not sorry. However, I have only 20 days of anime watched. So hardly obsessed all things considered.
3. Anime Figurines
I get that to alot of people this is weird. But I just like pretty things. I see pretty figurines and I think to myself, "I can decorate my house with these."
4. Dating Asians
Well I find women attractive from all over the world. Just because I am black doesn't mean I can't ever date outside of my race. So I dated a Japanese girl once big deal. She came onto me first anyway.
5. Dakimakura
Yeah I heard about this huge body pillows and I wanted one. I was living alone at the time and figured it would help keep me warm and comfortable and it does. I still have it now. Though fiancee forces me to keep it on the floor when she is at home lol. So what if it has a beautiful busty anime girl on it. She isn't doing anything lewd, she is of age and she isn't even a real person. I don't even consider her to be a waifu.
6. Waifu
I have thought long and hard about having a waifu. And it turns out I can't find a perfect 2D waifu girl. I can only ever find real life women to be my waifu. Like the one I am marrying soon. Yes my fiancee is my waifu and she is a tsundere. I'm probably better suited to be with a kuudere but a tsundere stops things from becoming stale and boring I guess.
7. Japan
Never visited, not really bothered about going, don't want to learn the language. I prefer Chinese food to Japanese food. I do find their history and traditions interesting though. But I find much of the world's history interesting aswell.
8. Music
Do I care about any of that J-pop / K-pop stuff? Nope. Not even a little bit. Sure I say I have my favourite anime opening and endings but would I listen to any of them if they weren't anime openings and endings? Most likely I wouldn't. But don't get me wrong, a great singer is a great singer no matter the genre. And great music is great music no matter the genre.
9. Anime Expo / Comic Con etc
Never went to one until just last month. Comic Con for the first time ever at age 33. Could it be? Is my inner weeb evolving?
10. MAL
In primary school there was a chinese kid who used to sit next to me a draw pictures of characters from Dragon Ball Z. I didn't have cable so I never watched the show even until now. But that was when I first heard about anime. When I got into online gaming in 2009 some of the guys who I played Street Fighter 4 with told me to watch FMA and a few others. This is when my journey really began. After watching a bunch of good shows I didn't find much that interested me. Hence my low amount of anime completed. But in 2018 I got super bored having watched all the good shows and movies that were not anime I thought I would pay anime another visit. First I found r/anime and then joined their discord and then I was told about MAL. So if I am a weeb I have had alot of people help transform me into one lol.
Am I a weeb or not? It depends. I am not a weeb if you are more weeb than I am. And I am a weeb if you are less weeb than I am.
