2. Ooh, who are they~

4. I only watch SEED for the gay and the funny D: I'm not actually really a Gundam fan at all.

5. A;SLDKFJA;LSDKFJ I REMEMBER THAT SHOW!

7&12: What the hell is a weeaboo?

[colortheory.livejournal.com]

7 and 12. A person who sprinkles their speech liberally with horribly mispronounced fangirl Japanese ("baka," "sugoi," "kawaii," etc.) and is generally obnoxious. Usually wishes that they too were Japanese, or (in extreme cases) are convinced that they were Japanese in a past life.

Really. They do.

[crackjaw.livejournal.com]

Ah, okay. I had only heard the terms "Wapanese" and "fangirl Japanese" before, so I was confused. Thanks.

are convinced that they were Japanese in a past life

D8 Whut.

[colortheory.livejournal.com]

I'VE SEEN IT. THERE WAS THIS WEEABO GIRL WHO WAS INSISTING THAT SHE HAD TO HAVE BEEN A JAPANESE GIRL IN HER PAST LIFE. AND PEOPLE WERE GOING "OMG ME TOO!!!1one." I'd link you to it, but the community where I originally posted it--you know the one of which I speak XD--has been suspended.

[murasaki-kaze.livejournal.com]

....oh my God. DX

Okay, so...yeah, no. My brain stops functioning with people who insist stuff like that. I AM JAPANESE. WE'RE NO BETTER THAN ANYONE ELSE. We just...die of liver cancer or old age. :/ Wooo, genetics.

[colortheory.livejournal.com]

I AM PROUD OF MY WELSH HERITAGE, DAMMIT. I NEED A NAMETAG.

[murasaki-kaze.livejournal.com]

I AM DULL AND ANNOYING.

/gives you nametag/ WELSH.

[longlongwaytogo.livejournal.com]

when did this term spring up? I don't hang around in japanese fandoms...

[colortheory.livejournal.com]

Dunno. I've only just started using it within the past couple of years, myself.

[kosher-jenny.livejournal.com]

The way most people use it comes from 4chan, where they wordfiltered "wapanese" to weeaboo. The actual word itself is from a Perry Bible Fellowship comic. Why do I know all this?

[offensive.livejournal.com]

I think we had a different term for people like that back in the day, since I've never heard weeaboo before, but I also haven't been heavy into the Japlish fandom for a few years.

I can't remember what it was, though....

Oh wait, I remember. Horrifying and should be avoided at all costs less they suck out your soul. I'm glad they finally shortened it.

7&12. I had to encyclopedia dramatica it myself.

2. Cliff and Fayt from Star Ocean 3. It's an interesting pairing, but there is indeed *nothing* good for it. I hope the poster does write something, just so that there'd be, well, something.

[kinneas.livejournal.com]

Also generally peppered with Western culture-bashings, eg, "Americn music/TV/games are SO boring and overrated blah blah blah i am a fucking wanker no one likes me"

[crackjaw.livejournal.com]

... D:

I knew someone like that. Good God am I glad we don't talk anymore.

[kinneas.livejournal.com]

Oh wow, ew. I was kinda sorta like that when I was fourteen, but even then I couldn't give up Backstreet Boys or Law&Order.

That attitude can be so destructive =\

[crackjaw.livejournal.com]

Inorite? Self-hating never gets anyone anywhere, especially passive-aggressive stuff like that.

[kinneas.livejournal.com]

Amen. And it's so trivial. It's one thing to be like omg USA sucks because of Bush, but it's something completely different to hate where you come from and who you are because you like Yu Yu Hakusho better than CSI.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_dahne_/]

Gotta admit, fireball-spewing demons in CSI would be pretty awesome.

[kinneas.livejournal.com]

Especially if they ate David Caruso.

[kinneas.livejournal.com]

Yes, because Japan's growth as a society totally isn't based entirely off copying our shit D:
