Re: Dealing nicely with weebs?

Dude, I think that would just lead to some sort of horrible teen drama pity party, though. Like, I have to work with this kid for another month, I don't want to listen to him weeping into his lunch box every day. And he's the first temp we've had who isn't pants-wetting terrified of me, so I don't want to fuck that up.

I think he realizes I'm not and can't be his friend. He still calls me 'sir' and is always very polite. But short of going full Gordon Ramsey I don't know how to get through to him that NOBODY CARES about his shitty waifu cartoons. I mean, I don't know how much more blunt I can be than "I don't like anime" and "I don't enjoy jrpgs."

No, no, no. You're not understanding me. I'm not telling you to yell at him, I'm telling you to be repetitive. And persistent. Like training a dog.

Don't be mean, just be completely disinterested for long enough and eventually he will get the point. To give an example, I used to have this guy on my team who was a furry. No joke. He'd talk about conventions, wore a tail, brought comics, talked about his "fursona" to anyone at all who would indulge him.

Except every time he did it to me I would either fake a call, just nod and stare at him blankly, or ask him to look up a random P&P for me. Took a week or so but he stopped.

I've been DOING the 'oh damn I'd better take care of this important thing', and the blank stare, and making him go do other things, and literally everything I can think of. I've been doing this for a month now. It's just not getting through.

lol tbh this kid sounds less weeb and more autistic by the minute.

Sorry, you might have to go full Kremlin on his ass.

Nah, just very young and oblivious. I don't think he interacts with people outside of his weeb circle much.

I don't go Kremlin the asses of kids, dude. Only grown men. :P
