Why Weeaboos really grind my Gears


I find weeaboos to be really irritating. For those of you that are uninformed, a weeaboo is a slang term for a white guy (female weeaboos exist, They are less common, but I assure you, just as irritating as their male counterpart) who is obsessed with Japan. These people bother me because I actually think Japan sounds like a dreadful place from my American perspective, and why somebody would want to live there instead of America baffles me. Alas, these people seem intrigued with this entire culture that they know of only by watching cartoons.

This is of course, incredibly silly. These people are under a strange impression that Japan would be accepting of them if they were to go there, which is funny, because Japan is a notably elitist country. Furthermore, weeaboos seem to think that Japanese women (or men) will be attracted to them. These people are wrong, for their dating lives will be just as lonely and miserable in Japan as they are in their home country. Yes, that does mean you. While it is true that you may be a foreigner, which is interesting, your personality will remain the same, and as your true colors come out, it will be revealed that they don’t actually find your personality all that attractive, as you just sit there fascinated by the things they do everyday. After that, they will leave you for a Japanese man (or girl) in the same fashion the members of the opposite sex practice in your home country.

Although delusions of Japan wanting the average weeaboo to move to their county greatly grind my gears, these conversations are quite easy to avoid. Unlike these conversations many weeaboos will decide to use Japanese phrases in their everyday speaking. This is strange, inconsistent, and usually holds no meaning to those who don’t speak the language, or the butchered variant that weeaboos speak. So while these people may feel that they are more cultured, they are in fact just butchering their own language into something neither native speakers nor people from Japan would be able to understand. This would be tolerable if your average weeaboo was actually attempting to learn a significant amount of Japanese, but overall, most are content to learn about 1 semester’s worth, and then just slip that knowledge into their sentences.

Of course, I get really irritated when weeaboos act like Japan has something better going than America. There is a very interesting irony in this though. Anime prices are much higher in Japan! It costs about 40$ for a DVD with 2 episodes! I know this is probably going off of new titles, but that’s outrageous! Ironically, it would lead to weeaboos that actually make it to Japan finding that it is much more expensive to maintain their hobby in it’s country of origin than in another country! Prices on produce are like this too! It costs 50$ for a watermelon out there. No wonder they always eat rice! Furthermore, population density is much higher there, meaning things would be much more crowded. Why would anybody obsess over Japan when we can get their stuff in other countries for even better prices than the Japanese themselves pay!

Hence, if you encounter a weeaboo, Japanophile, wapanese guy, or whatever you prefer to call them, make sure to give them a good paddling.

How to get my boyfriend to stop watching anime

Previous Letter: Being in a harem anime sucks (when you aren't the lead)

Dear BryAnime

I’ve been having a problem with my boyfriend lately. He just doesn’t pay attention to me, and only talks about anime and video games. It’s a real problem, because I really like him, and we’ve known each other since we were kids. But sometimes I feel like he’d sell our relationship for the latest DVD boxset of whatever anime he’s into. Since I’m not into anime or video games, I knew this would be a problem, but I never anticipated the scale of it.

I mean, it gets REALLY bad sometimes. It really became obvious this one time we were having intercourse. You see, one night we had the TV on while we were doing it, so the neighbors couldn’t hear what was going on. Everything was going on as normal, until some anime came on, and he switched sides for a half hour. I asked my friends about it, and they said he was definitely watching the show during intercourse. I tried confronting him about it, but I couldn’t emphasize the point in words he’d understand. He seemed to just zone out and nod his head.

Well, I’d be lying if I’ve said I haven’t tried to get his attention. I’ve tried wearing cat-ears, schoolgirl uniforms, and even attempted some cosplay around him, and nothing seems to get his attention. What do you think I should do? I really wish he’d pay less attention to his obsession and more attention to me, but I can’t seem to get through to him.

Sincerely,
A neglected girlfriend

Dear Neglected Girlfriend,

Well, it looks like you’re in a bit of a sticky situation. Either he doesn’t really care about you that much, or he does a very bad job of showing it. Why not ask him what he thinks on the situation? The fact that you to are comfortable enough to have intercourse suggests that there is some closeness between the two of you. Maybe he just isn’t very good at expressing himself? No matter what, you’ll have to talk to him for it to get any better.

Sincerely, Bryanime
