I'm starting to understand why everyone hates you.

I'm gonna say it again:

Calling someone a weeaboo just because they like a certain anime, or even a lot of anime, is racism.

Because you're assuming that, because what they like is Japanese, it's idiotic and lame.

I mean, that's just assuming that it can't have any of its own merits, like the STORY?!?!, and immediately dissing it based on the country it came from.

Thanks. *bows, exits*

Besides, liking anime and being a weeaboo are 2 different things.

Finally, some logic!

You guys.

It's HHFOV.

I mean, seriously.

Oh, don't think I'm hoping to get through to him, I'm just taking this as an excuse to rant.

ChickenLeg · **Posted:** Tue Apr 08, 2008 4:20 am

That's the best kind of excuse!

Yeah, I mean, I wouldn't get worked up at all over someone who preached the word of the LEIGON and told everyone to NEVAR 4GET

But that's just me, though.

Marshmallow Roast · **Posted:** Tue Apr 08, 2008 12:32 pm

Haha wow.

Some people dislike all anime because it's from Japan.

That's what I said. And that's racism.

Duh.

Well you're silly. You shouldn't get worked up over ANYTHING HHFOV says because he doesn't really matter.

Rusty · **Posted:** Tue Apr 08, 2008 2:08 pm

Well, that too.

EDIT: I hope this applies to Magna Carta too

This kind of surprises me.

Uh nope.

I don't think calling somebody a weaboo is a racist statement - you're not really saying anything about their race, you're just saying something about their...I guess their culture. But you're not saying anything about their race.

Marshmallow Roast · **Posted:** Tue Apr 08, 2008 11:57 pm

I guess I could have phrased that better, but what I meant was that insulting someone because they're a fan of Japanese culture (no matter how much of a fan they are) is racism against the Japanese. Er, not against the so-called "weeaboo" themselves.

Rusty · **Posted:** Wed Apr 09, 2008 12:04 am

I don't know how it's racist against the Japanese, you're not exactly referring to the japanese in any way besides that the "weaboo" in question is taking part in the culture.

Not to say that accusing someone of being a weaboo for liking any anime is justified, but I don't really think it's racist.

Duecex2 · **Posted:** Wed Apr 09, 2008 12:09 am

Mandy, just accept it, you're a weeaboo. The reason I don't dislike you for it is because you have a great personality and therefore I am able to look past that. Same goes for Myrrh but I was unaware she enjoyed anime before because she doesn't show it.

Rusty · **Posted:** Wed Apr 09, 2008 12:53 am

So wait, if somebody likes anime they're a weaboo

that's

that's pretty gay

I'm going to have to agree with this.

People can like anime, they're allowed to.

Marshmallow Roast · **Posted:** Wed Apr 09, 2008 2:03 am

@Rusty, the reason I say it's racist against the Japanese to call someone a weeaboo JUST because they like something Japanese is because that's implying that all Japanese things are lame and anyone who likes them is lame.

not@Rusty, I fail to see how Mandy's liking one anime makes her a weeaboo. Nor do I see how my liking many anime series makes ME a weeaboo. A weeaboo is someone who obsesses over anime and all things Japanese for no good reason and is annoying about it. Neither of us are those things. We like RM because it's a brilliant series with an amazing story.

As far as I know, it's the only anime Mandy gives a rat's hindquarters about, and while I'm a fan of lots of other anime, it's not because they're from Japan. I'd like them if they were made in America or France or Nigeria or wherever else.

Meh, I like Star Trek and all that sci-fi stuff. Everybody I know thinks that only people who live in their parents' basement watch Star Trek(which is a blatent lie!). :-(

I don't really see that implication, but w/e, lol

I have friends I call weeaboos because they are, but they're pretty cool nonetheless.

I'm a semi-weeaboo.

I like frogs. Everybody else thinks they're slimy and disgusting, but they're cute to me. Maybe it's those big eyes.

Edit: TOTP'D!

:eekdance:

Marshmallow Roast · **Posted:** Wed Apr 09, 2008 6:54 pm

Hey man, I'm with you on the frogs.

Then again, I think all animals are cute.

ChickenLeg · **Posted:** Wed Apr 09, 2008 9:30 pm
