Let me amend that to "reading all the comments resulted in finding very few that weren't attacking/making fun of the OP were addressing the OP's complaint at all."

You seemed to be taking issue with the definition of Weeaboo, and asserting that it wasn't offensive to use a handful of common* Japanese words derogatorily because that isn't the same as knowing the language. And no, it isn't, but I don't see why that makes it automatically not-offensive.

*common in anime culture.

tbh my issue is conflating mocking weeaboos with mocking Japanese culture. Because the reason weeaboos are mocked is because they themselves are perceived as disrespecting actual Japanese culture.

Mm, depends. Most of the people I've seen mocking weeaboos don't give a damn about respecting Japanese culture, and often conflate faily fan attachment with any interest in anime. It's just a stigmatized, low rung on the Geek hierarchy to them.
