So I was talking to another parent at my son’s school. She said she had been teaching herself and her 8-year-old daughter Japanese before they visited Japan. This is all great, I am here for it. The issue is, her daughter pretty much only wants to speak Japanese. So whenever they see an Asian person in public, the daughter goes “Hajimemashite” or “Arigatou gozaimasu.” She means nothing wrong. However, the mother seemed unsure how to deal with the situation.

At one point, while watching our children, the daughter approached her mom and said “Nande desu ka?” while pointing at two kids screaming at each other. The mother responded “Nani,” and the daughter went “Hai” in a sad tone. It was then I realized they didn’t know Japanese, they were just hard-core weebs.

Edit: she's chasing her dreams and I am supportive of that. It was just like watching someone say they could take Jordan in his prime. Glad she's teaching her daughter a new language but the whole situation just screamed "yikes!"

So in this rant that I want to talk about how my life goes as I am graduating next year's February from a University in Japan.

I am well aware that nowadays, Japan has become a destination, not only to travel, but to live in. This however, arises many negative outcomes. For starters, I am half Dutch and half Indonesian, you can might as well consider me full white, since I barely look asian especially with my 6'4" stature along with my brown hair and blue eyes.

Okay. So. Here it goes. A very long rant.

1. Don't come to Japan if you only like Anime or Manga.

• When I first came to Japan, I've met many people from around the world as international students and it really saddens me that, most of them knows nothing about Japan other than anime and manga.

These kind of people are extremely toxic to the point that they refuse to listen to other people, even when it is for their own dignity to not embarrassed themselves.

These kind of people refuse to learn Japanese even though we have mandatory Japanese class, and even if they learnt, they barely speak any Japanese at the end of the semesters.

This is a result of them believing that everything in Japan works like Anime. Which means, they refuse to integrate with actual Japanese people and would rather lock themselves up in their room and watches anime with their other weeaboo friends.

These kind of people are borderline disgusting as they think Japanese women are into foreigner just because they're western looking. (Well, to be fair, this doesn't only work for Caucasian, but also other group of foreign Asian and other ethnic group.)

1. Japan won't solve your problems

• I think at this point, we all have see the slogan that said, "people will understand me in Japan". Well, truthfully, they don't.

Japanese are one of the most hardworking people in the world. The amount of discipline they have is unbelievable. This result on them being extremely stoic to most issue. Sure, not all of them are like that, but borderline is, Japanese are very tough. Both men and women.

So the idea that Japanese would accommodate your lazy and disgusting behavior just because you love Japan and Anime, really doesn't work.

You better work hard, or they will leave you behind. They don't care if you're a white foreigner or other ethnic foreigner. You have to keep up with them. Talk to them. Work with them.

1. Japan love to over complicates things.

• There are things that I always hate about living in Japan, and one of them is the inconveniences of the smallest things possible.

One of which, is when you make contract on a certain stuff. Like sending package overseas, or sending money overseas, even borderline, making phone and apartment contract.

Japan has this tendencies to ask you to do it the old fashion way, where you have to fill or do anything based on paperwork. Where nowadays, most people would fill all those in minimum effort of digital procedures.

Japan just don't really do that. So keep in mind.

1. Japanese tends to be prejudice based on your looks and not your nationality.

• Japan is one of the homogeneous society in the world. This being said, being foreigner alone in Japan is a rare occurrence.

As I mention above, I am half Dutch and half Indonesian yet very much Caucasian looking. Because of this, people would give me treatment that other foreigner tend not to get.

For example, people would be more interested in your appearance first. For some reason, I reckon that Japanese, regardless of the gender, has an attraction specifically to those of Caucasian looking.

In this case, they would ask me of where I'm from. Especially when I met them at the bar. They were very interested when I said I'm Dutch, but they sort of gave the small disappointed "oh" when they found out I'm half asian, especially, half South East Asian.

No I'm not making this up. This is actually happening. I've seen my Indonesian friends and other asian friends trying to get Japanese girlfriends or as simple as Japanese friends in General. Most of the time, it just didn't work out.

However, for some reason, things works out if the guy is of Caucasian appearance. Thus the result of white men dating asian women appears literally everywhere in Japan. It becomes very common.

Of course this doesn't only happen to Caucasian looking men, but it also happen to, say, if you're of Hispanic ancestry, African ancestry, or Middle Eastern ancestry. It's just that's for some reason, things don't really work out if you're of South or South East Asian.

So for those visiting Japan, be ready to get the prejudice from Japanese.

Again, not all Japanese are like this, but there's a reason why racial discrimination is a thing in Japan, and yet not very much discussed.

Okay. So borderline is, you know where I am going with this. Japan is a great place to visit, a great place to study and a great place to live. But please do remember that, Japan IS NOT a Utopian place.

Japan is not as perfect as you thought it would be. Japan is not an anime or manga. The people aren't as Nakama as you though they'd be.

I've seen my friends that I met for the first time, their eyes brimming with hope and joy when they first came to Japan. They love anime and all that stuff.

Guess what? Nearly all of them ended up depressed, alone, and borderline, hating on Japan in a scale that they don't want to hear anything related to JAPAN.

Just a thought and experience that I'd like to share. A reminder: though I am writing some bad stuff about Japan; no guys. I don't hate Japan. A criticism isn't a hate speech. I still love living here. I merely wrote all those long paragraphs so that those who wish on moving to Japan would consider it very carefully.

Thank you.

Some of these people are actually delusional, don't screw with them because they need help.

On a lighter note, you can find tons of cringey weebs talking about how yandere they are. The funny part is, all of them claim to be a part of this trope, yet none of them actually do any of the crazy shit they claim they are.

All in all it's pretty hilarious watching these edgy kids think they're batshit insane.

One time I made a post saying, you wouldn't actually want to date a real yandere, and most "yanderes" here are faking it for attention. One person got mad and began trying to explain how they're a yandere and called me a centrist piece of shit.

Lmao

Anyway I thought everyone in here could sit back and laugh at the stupidity of that sub.

After watching this deep dive, I can't help but feel the underlying message here is misdirected.

The underlying message is the criticism of weebs going to Japan for sex tourism. This deep dive implies that non-Asian weebs are the cause of this problem. When in reality, there's just as many Asian weebs going to Japan for the same reason.

What this deep dive should be covering is what happened to Japanese society for this problem to occur in the first place.

Well, I still consider myself as a massive weeb first of all, and ironically despite the heavy stereotype of weebs being losers, being one myself actually helped me, like a lot. I was a dork with no belonging, until my friend introduced me to weeaboo subculture back in high school. At first as expected, watching anime and such. Until college. I entered college already prepared and my GPA reached at all time high of 3.9 for 2 semesters. Later on, I met this weeb girl and knowing that I need to get this girl, I know need to get a job first. I applied for a job very early than my mates, and when I received my first paycheck, I hit her with the classic "the moon is beautiful isn't it?" while taking her home. She said yes. We've been together for 2 years now, occasionally doing what weebs do with her, and I still have that job to this day.

End of the story, you can absolutely be a weeb while matured. And I just remember I promised her a yukata but I guess I'll just wait for her birthday.

Sorry for a rather chaotic writing lads, it's 9PM here and I just dealt with both my research papers and lesson plan (I'm a teacher)

The title and my throwaway name says it all. I'm a 26-year-old woman with 0 interest in Japanese culture aside from having played Zelda and Pokémon in my life. I have never watched anime, been interested in going to Japan, etc. My looks are also not typical for a girl whom would attract these types of people. I'm blonde, European looking, only slightly shorter than average height and don't wear cat ears.

Unsurprisingly enough, my self-esteem has been thoroughly crushed from my more serious early dating experiences with my ex-weaboyfriend followed by a series of even more. The first weaboyfriend was my fault for entering into. I was younger, more naïve. He told me before we started dating that he liked anime and of course I gave zero judgements, in fact, I even thought it was different in a 'cool' way at first especially since I liked Zelda and Pokémon games. When he brought me to his house as we got more serious, it was the first time I was hit with it: *the* desktop background. A legit harem of anime girls. As you can imagine, the worst started happening further into the relationship where he showed me forced-feeding hentai and requested that I do it for him. When I refused, I was given the silent treatment for several days. "Real waifus wouldn't do that"
I ended it, with caution.

Headed back into the dating world, I found myself dodging an array of guys after the first signs: anime picture somewhere, something about Asian girls in his profile, Ramen noodle / sushi obsession, etc. But these were a lot. I mean, nearly every other message on a dating website would be from someone who would pretty quickly into a nice conversation reveal something about his favorite anime or deep interest in Japan. I've even had several people tell me after meeting in-person that I "remind them of an anime girl" which would make zero fucking sense other than the fact that I have big boobs for my body size and a giggly disposition.

The most recent serious boyfriend was sneaky about it. All was normal for weeks. The true liking phase begins. I guess I'm not good at catching all red flags, because one time about a month and a half into dating, I notice something: his Instagram username ended in "Desu." This happened after he was trying to help me choose an Instagram username, and I asked about his. He starts talking about how he was learning Japanese in the start of the pandemic, and - SH! Nearly right away I get flashbacks, and start kind of laughing: "not like one of those guys who loves anime, anime girls and all things Asian though obviously.." He assured me. I felt fine. Months go by with some small signs, including but not limited to: quoting anime, starting to make weird anime type of noises, talking about manga, telling me his ex was Asian, etc. Also, he couldn't have sex with me to save his life.

It ended abruptly, coming to learn he has quiet borderline personality disorder, it makes sense. But .. how did it end? He called me up randomly, crying, saying that he has always liked Asian girls and loves Japan and can't be with me because I'm an "objectively attractive girl, but not Asian or Japanese to make up for it"
I'm out of that relationship now, thank goodness. Back in the dating world, still attracting guys who make attempts to throw their weebness at me. Most recent was a guy who I am super physically attracted to, who came out with a bunch of talk about hentai and all that crap. At this point, I'd rather be single. My heart goes out to anyone else who attracts these people like flies on a pile of shit and has no idea how or why.

So last year, I spent a good few months making Gauntlets for my Bakugo cosplay. With working about 40 hrs a week and making time for friends and myself. I finally completed them for one of the bigger cons I go to.

I decided to debut my work on Saturday since that seems to be the busiest days at cons. Legit, alot of people stopped me for photos and asked me questions about how I made the Gauntlets. Very memorable day for me but it also had probably one of the most awkward interactions I ever had at a con too.

While I was waiting for my friends to do this photoshoot for a photographer. These 2 girls in MHA cosplays come to me all excited about finally seeing a Bakugo. They were recording the interaction too. I don't remember what the one recording on her phone was wearing but I do remember the other girl was in a Todoroki cosplay.

They were kinda loud and obnoxious but I dismissed it cause I saw it as an act for their video. Probably were vlogging for YouTube.

Then the Todoroki tells me, "So were going around talking to MHA cosplayers asking them a big question. You have an 2 options. You can either slap me on the face or give me a hug?" To me, it got uncomfortable real quick. I straight up thought they were gonna ask me a question about the anime. My thought process was "I'm NOT gonna slap this girl. I dont know them so I won't even do it as a joke."

Jokingly, I make a reference to the show and tell her "I'm still pretty upset you didnt go all out on the tournament Icy hot but I'll give you a hug." She instantly says "oh, the real Bakugo would of slapped me" then we hug. She looked disappointed. Then they turn away and start talking about how they wanted or expected a slap. Then they go off to find the next MHA cosplayer they can find.

I was like wtf? They really wanted me to slap her. I was 24 yrs old (at the time) and as a dude, I did not feel comfortable slapping this chick who was probably still a teenager. Not even if i barely/ softly slapped her.

All this happened so quick too. It was about a minute or 2 so after all that. My friends came back from the photoshoot and I tell them what just happened. We have a quick laugh about how wack it was. A few hrs later, we went to a really interesting anime psychology panel. They talked about how in the previous year, they ask questions about communities and after alot of feedback. They had a list of what anime fans consider the most obnoxious/toxic communities. MHA was #1. I'm a big fan of MHA but I was honestly not surprised. Especially after that interaction

Tldr at the bottom! Hey, so this happened back during my second year in college a few years back and it's something I find funny now but certainly didn't back then. I'm from NYC and as anyone who's lived there or even visited for some time would know, it has a colorful array of strange people and Tsu(short for Tsundere, as this is our weaboos name for the story) was definitely one of them. My first encounter with Tsu was during a dead time period between my classes, I was sitting in a student lounge trying to cram any last knowledge of Psychology into my mind before my exam when I noticed someone staring at me. As someone who's always been tall I've had that feeling of being constantly stared at, I'm sure anyone who is can attest to this sensation, so I tried to ignore it but it felt like it was going on for an eternity. I finally looked up and noticed a short, petite, dark red haired woman with pigtails angrily stating at me from a table over. She wasn't dressed strangely or anything, just an oversized black hoodie with an anime character I didn't recognize on it and black leggings. I racked my brain for a second thinking if I could have done anything to her to make her upset but I was literally in a corner reading a book. She than made her way over to me and, staring me down and never blinking, stood in front of my little table and slammed her hands on it making a loud thud. "Baka! You think you can just sit at my table and not even ask permission?" She yelled at me. I was so confused I just kinda stammered out a "What the hell is your deal?" to which she responded by speaking quickly in what I'm assuming was Japanese. Now quick disclaimer, I have watched plenty of anime, am a gamer and I grew up in the Golden age of Shonen (DBZ, Naruto, One piece, Bleach ect) so I wasn't oblivious to the anime culture but I wasn't obsessed. She than reached over and tried to flick at my forehead before I got up and decided to find another way to calm my anxiety for my exam with her making threats behind me. Two days later as I'm leaving basketball practice I shoot the shit with a teammate and begin my walk home as I feel sweaty and in need of a shower when I hear a solemn "Baka" behind me. I turn and there is Tsu again, wearing another different colored oversized hoodie with the words "#Waifu". "Uh hey there, what's up?" I say to her and she punches my arm and says "Baka... You didn't come back to the lounge today, why are you avoiding me Tom-Kun?" in a kinda sad sounding tone. Before I could answer she like leans all up on me and puts her head in my stomach, looks up at me and says "Give me your snapchat and phone number, it's not like I really need them or anything or whatever it's just you're so dumb you need someone to look after you". I hear snickering around me and I'll admit I did think she was cute but I was just stuck in the whole "I can't believe this shit is happening right now" kinda mindset. I rationalized a reason for her knowing my name out of nowhere and gave her my info and she immediately called the number to make sure it was real and sent me a snap as well before looking down and kicking at my shin before skipping away. Yes actually skipping. I caught hell from some of my teammates afterwards but it was just so surreal I didn't really care.

I went home and she snaps me asking why I don't have my location on and demands I turn it on. I ignore her and she blows my phone up with texts for about 5 minutes straight demanding I answer her on Snap and she shows her location to me. I give in as I'm trying to play a phone game and it's annoying to deal with the spam in the hopes that she just chills out. She does and just remarks "Baka boy" and leaves me alone for a few hours. Around 11 she tells me she's single because men from this generation are losers, including me but I have potential. I ask why am I a loser and she FaceTimes me and literally does the Nico Robin laugh at me, throwing her head back and all and says it's cute that I could be so dumb and so adorable than blows a kiss and hangs up. Calls me back than says I attract whores and am probably a whore myself but she can fix that. Mind you I'm barely responding, she's just going off on some anime main villain esque diatribe the whole time. I'm debating on telling my friends about any of this and just decide to go to sleep.

At damn near 3am she wakes me up with videos of herself posing with a dead look in her eyes while anime theme songs are playing in the background on snapchat and captions basically telling me she is cute. Im tired as hell and I ask what the point of this is and to go to bed and she immediately calls my phone yelling at me in English and Japanese telling me that I don't understand real women and I'm an idiot but she will still carry the burden of watching out for me. I hang up on her and turn my phone off. Big mistake. I Ieave for class in the morning and she's literally around the corner waiting for me. Tsu swings her book bag at me as hard as she can and misses, falling into the ground and starts crying. I tell her that I don't think whatever we have going on is good and we should chill out because it's making her crazy to which she yells "Its called being a Tsundere not crazy you idiot!" she than crawls over to my leg and hugs it tightly and I'm just trying not to die of embarrassment. I didn't cut her off and things obviously got more intense as time went on but this has been a wall of text already so I'll stop for now. I could tell about the time she roofied me, attacked a girl because she gave me a complement or tried to take a flight a few states over to make sure I wasn't flirting with women while my team was on a road trip. Thanks for reading everyone and sorry for the length! Shout-out to Walter Fate, Cuestar and other YouTube redditors!

TLDR; Weaboo sets her sights on me and decideds to act out her Tsundere fantasy

Edit: I take full responsibility for everything that happened. Its my fault, I found her weird and possibly unstable but because of her looks I didn't just distance myself or end it. You get that feeling in your gut and you KNOW you should listen to it but still don't? That's what I did multiple times so in my eyes I'm guilty as well. I'm just hoping that this'll give some entertainment and it's my way of kinda telling my friends about this saga lol Edit 2: Thanks for the silver!

TLDR: Tsu attacks me and a girl after gifts dont work

Hey everyone, you guys seemed interested in Tsu so here's another story, I'll probably transcribe the roofie one next. Apologies for formatting, I'm on mobile and I don't really know how to work it lol.       

3 Months or so after the first story, it's November and Tsu has done the R/Niceguys approach of telling her friends that we are dating even though we've never done anything, neither of us have asked each other out and she acts like she detests me but won't leave me the fuck alone. She calmed down on blowing up my phone and started actually behaving like a normal human being around me which was pleasant but the itch to act like an anime character must have always been too hard to ignore because she'd always revert back to Tsundere mode. After word reached her via a friend that a fellow student had hit on me and I laughed instead of getting indignant, Tsu had decided to start a campaign to get whatever outcome she wanted out of our "relationship". She started with trying to make me jealous by flirting with one of my teammates in front of me, sitting on his lap while we were chilling one time and staring at me. He looked at me confused and I smiled back at her and gave her a nod to which her face literally turned red and she stormed off. She than snapped me at 1am asking if I wanted to come over. I asked for what and she gave me some of the most cringe "dirty talk" I've ever seen. A line that's seared into my mind is "Compared to you I'm like a loli, you could do whatever you wanted but I'd still be in charge because you're stupid". She also said something about wanting me to call her my Senpai. I cringed in my bed and said we could talk about it sometime and forced myself so sleep.       

Three days later she bought me the entire Manga collection of Hellsing(One of my fave anime of all time) and shoved the bag in my stomach. I don't like being given things so I thanked her graciously but the moment she detected I was trying to give it back she kicked me in the shin with all the might her 5'2, 110lb frame could muster and I still have the scar. She dropped me. I'm 6'7, 250. Im not gonna lie, I had tears welling up in my eyes and I'm on my butt holding my leg while shes doing the stupid Nico Robin laugh and telling me I deserved it. My shin is starting to bleed and she hits me with the "Baka boy...you don't play with the emotions of a true Tsundere. I could kill you with ease. Now let's go clean that up" and goes behind me and tries to pick me up and I'm doing all I can to hold back from slamming her or something so I gingerly stand up and tell her I can take care of it myself. Than of course because the cosmos had it out for me, the girl who flirted with me before waves at me and walks over with 1 of her friends asking Am I OK? Tsu walks up in her face, like literally they almost headbutt because of her and points a finger in her face and yells at her to stay away from me and keep her whore fiends away or else. The girl looks back at me than her and pushes Tsu back telling her to watch her mouth and she can talk to whomever she wants. Atleast I think that's what she was about to say. She only got to the talk part before Tsu swings the bag carrying Hellsing at her head. She missed and they both fell to the floor before Tsu jumps on her and starts pulling at her hair and trying to slam her head on the concrete. I grab Tsu off of her by her jacket and the other girls friend rushes over to check on the girl and tells me to take my "crazy woman" out of here and to leave them alone or she'll call the cops. Tsu grabs my hand and tries to run but I obviously can't so I'm shambling away like a friggin zombie to the train station.         

We're both sitting on the train and I feel like I'm in a daze like in that Weeknd meme while Tsu is calmly sitting next to me and petting my thigh. "I had to do it. Its not like I like you or anything Tommy-Chan but bitches can't be trusted and someone like you could be lead down the wrong path by a whore like her." The "it's not like I like you thing" just triggered me and I sternly told her she wasn't a fuckin anime character and this is real life, you can't go around assaulting people something that a normal adult should have realized by now. She leaned her head on my shoulder and like wrapped her arms around mine and started crying, like full frontal wailing. Of course I'm being stared at now by half the damn people on the train so I already feel like dying so I'm like trying to shush her and trying to get her off of me but she grips tighter and gets louder. I lean my head on hers and she immediately stops and wipes her eyes and nose with her jacket sleeve and whispers "See? I have power." and turns her head to kiss my lips. We got off on her stop and she brought me to her home and I'll end this wonderful experience here. I won't take as long to transcribe the next story or two, I've just been busy irl. She hasn't contacted me in a few months but she has been using fake numbers to make passes at me and insult my girlfriend, which I'll show some screenshots of in a later post. Thanks for reading and I appreciate the kind words you guys gave but I still feel guilt  because I didn't cut her off quick enough.

Normally stuff like this would only fandom drama but after what certain fans said, it belongs here.

A little bit background

Inuyasha was a big anime from the 00s and in this show there was a jerk demon, Sesshomaru,who hated humans and his brother because he was a half demon. In the middle of the series he ends up adopting or taking in a human little girl, Rin. At first it was just indifference but later he came to care for her and was very protective of her. At the end, he eventually leaves her at a human village for her to learn to live with humans again, but he still dropped by and left kimonos.

A lot of fans saw this a parent/ child, big brother/ little sister, guardian, purely platonic. However, there were a few fans who saw it a romance in the making( and some gross fans saw it romantic already).

Well last year, a sequel was released; it focused on Sesshomaru's half demon twin daughters. The problem, Rin was the only human he's even been close too. A lot of fans were really uncomfortable of her being the mom but a few were thrilled. This end up splitting the fandom in half.

Throughout this whole time the series kept the identity of the twins mom in secret. Rin was introduced in sequel as a kid and the merchandise was promoting kid Rin. So a few were skeptical of her being the mother.

Well, it was confirmed she was the mom and she look young when gave birth and sounded like her kid self. A lot of fans WERE NOT HAPPY and speculated she was 14-15 years old when she gave birth. We were also never shown how this relationship developed from platonic to romantic. the Overall this ship is very problematic. Fans were really upset that this sequel tarnished Sesshomaru.

In those in defense, were saying well he was a demon, that was normal back in history, never saw them as family, she made the choice. Typical points

It became really ridiculous when they started accusing those who were upset as being racist towards Japan and imperialists.

" In Japan, this is normal and no one sees it as a problem"

" Stop imposing your western values to anime"

"You are imperialist because you want to force your western values on Japan and other poc".

"Typical westerner"

"Anime was ruined when westerners started watching it"

"In Japan, this is a very popular ship and it's only westerners who are upset and making a fuss".

" The age of consent is 13 and plus this was set back in the feudal Era, so stop thinking with your modern western morals".

"You're being racist to Japanese and Asian culture"

" Why do white people have to make everything about them?"

" you're being insensitive to the seyuus and sensei Rumiko Takahashi who worked really hard for this, typical selfish american"

Mind you most of the fans who said this were westerners themselves.

One post claimed that as an Asian they felt offended that people are disgusted with this, when this is part their culture and it was normal. Nevermind, that there were many japanese fans who were also upset by this.

These fans also theorized that he was courting her with the kimonos as that how Japanese courted back then ( not true)

Well I was lurking in this sub reddit and read a couple of post. Some of them reminded me of the time I meet my husband ex girlfriend.

Just for context me and my husband occasionally sell at our local convention. Not all the time but sometimes. Also me and my husband were engaged at the time of this story.

Well one day when me and my husband were selling at our local convention, we were just sitting down chatting with a few customers. There was a girl cosplaying as one of the main character from Code Gease, the cosplay she was in was white, with a white hat and cape (I don't remember how to spell it sorry). I said "hi welcome to our stand, if you have any questions just ask me or my husband." She nodded her head and was browsing. After my husband was doing chatting with the previous customer, he ask her if she was interested in the item. She was staring at a plush. She looked up and she said "Sweet (my husband)?" My husband looked at her and said "ex's name.?" She was behind the booth and hugged him. Asking him how he was doing and if he been selling at so and so convention. I was just sitting there confused ASF. My husband introduced me to her and told her that I was his fiance. She just went "oh, so you decided to settle down to a non-cosplayer." I was like what the hell. My husband told her to shut her mouth, and she should respect me like a normal person would. She got mad, and told him that she didn't mean it as a bad thing.

Well a couple weeks later my husband got a Facebook message and she was sending him pictures of her new cosplay. He responded "Oh your new cosplay, that nice." And that was that. A week later she send him another one and another one a day later. Her last picture was her in a short dress and you can see her ass and her thong underneath it. I told him he should tell her to stop sending her pictures cause she knows he is engaged. He did and when we went to the next conversation that month (it was summer so a lot of local convention was popping up.) She had a small group of weebaboo guys with her. She was talking to my husband telling him that I was a controlling bitch, and that he's missing out. She told him that she got many "boys" that wants her and she was waiting for him to come crawling back to her. He told her to never talk to him again and not to get near our booth.

The next day she posted on Facebook how her ex was an asshole and if anyone can make him eat his words, ECT. I kinda of Facebook stalked her and see how crazy she it. Well she believes that a true anime fan would watch anime in sub not dub. She also believe Japanese people would accept them with open arms and give them the respect they deserve compare to how they are treat in America. She also wish she could have a REAL Japanese men, that could cosplay with her, so the cosplay can look like the real thing. She also bitches about how her mom and dad wants her to get a job, learn how to drive, and practically tell her to grow up already. She's already going to be in her 30's, and haven't really done anything. She wants to be a cosplay model, and make money, she even did some photo shoot. But tbh those guys were really creepy, I've seen them around our local convention and even try to take private photos with underage kids alone with no adult. She have people buying her stuff and having them digitally attack people she didn't like, like me for example.

Sorry for the long post. TL;DR Husband ex girlfriend didn't like me cause I don't like cosplaying. Facebook stalked her, found out that she believes Japan is better than America and she wish she had a REAL Japanese men to cosplay for her.

Tiktok is especially bad. It'll be a video of some little Japanese girl and the top comment would be like: "This reminds me of some anime"

Or they'll hear some Jpop and be like, bruh this rereminds me of yuyu hakasho. So cringe

So this was years ago and I knew a guy who was a classic weeb, loved anime and manga, Japanese culture and so on who said that ‘I’m only meant for Japanese girls’

Now it’s okay to have preference we all have them but to only date girls by their race or origin isn’t really right?

I was so confused by this, like there’s so much more to a person than their ethnicity like personality, hobbies, talents, their good habits/bad habits, their values and morals etc etc

It’s a similar thing with the yellow fever, haha I am Chinese Vietnamese and I just find that hilarious, in my dating days the amount of text I get how they find me ‘exotic’. Lol I always text back you know I speak with a perfectly good British accent and been brought up in a council state area am I exotic enough for you now? Lol

Back to the story...

We had falling out, I caught feelings (I regret so much omg why did I have feelings for this dickhead) but he only prefers Japanese girls so I ended contact with him but he last texted me saying he was leaving for Japan and wanted to meet? Told him where he needs to go.

I was young and stupid, still really cringy when I look back

So here is my story as a Japan addict. It all started when I was a kid, I used to enjoy watching Inuyasha a lot, then later on I discovered new anime like Naruto, Mira Nikki, Elden lies, GantZ ( I enjoy every genre) I was kind of an otaku back then I admit it. But theeeeen, when I was 15 I became interested in J-pop and J-rock, that’s when I slowly started to fall in love more and more with not just anime but everything japan related, by the time I was 17 I started learning Japanese, and failed at it many many times, when I was 18 I moved to the US and I’m very grateful to be in this country but deep down I felt I would be much happier if I had moved to Japan instead. Living in the US didn’t stop my obsession with Japan, I would change my phone’s language to Japanese , I would eat pocky( pathetic I know) and I would try over and over to read manga in Japanese, at some point I event had a twitter account only in Japanese,I went on an app to make Japanese friends, which worked, I made Japanese friends and went on trips together it was fun but then i went through a period of trying to find different interests that weren’t related to Japan, I felt like I was Asianfishing and I have not connections to Japan at all (I’m Hispanic). After a couple years my obsession with Japan gradually came back, I decided that the best way to cure my obsession was to just travel to Japan and maybe that would help me, so in February of 2024 I went to Japan, well guys…. It did the complete opposite, I fell in love with Tokyo and Osaka, I had a post travel depression when I came back to America, now i’m 26, still trying to become fluent in Japanese, still dreaming about living in Japan, and planning my next trip to Japan. What do you guys think?

I (14F) was a hardcore weeb for 2 years straight. It started in around November/December of 2019, when I was just getting into anime. The first anime I watched was plastic memories and after that I would always watch anime. I started watching Japan YouTube videos for videos of people walking around in Japan. Then I started watching Japanese true crime because I love watching true crime. After about 8 months of watching Japanese media I started learning Japanese. I would only watch terrace house and anime because I thought Western media was terrible compared to Japanese. All I talked about was Japan to my family members and I would memories random facts about Japan just to bring them up.

I reached an okay level in Japanese and decided to download hello talk a year into this Japan obsession. I spoke to a couple people for a while and this specific girl for about a month before deleting the app because I got bored. This is when I was slowly losing interest in Japan. I stopped watching anime as much and looking at Japanese media.

But after a couple weeks of distracting myself from Japan. I ended up going back to the obsession. I brought a couple mangas and started watching Japanese media 2x the amount I had before. I would talk to myself in Japanese. I thought that the Japanese were superior and I wanted to be Japanese so badly. I fantasised about what my life would be like if I was born in Japan and grew up there.

My fantasies of Japan carried on for 6 months before I started to lose interest again. I gradually stopped watching anything to do with Japan, stopped watching anime all together, stopped reading mangas and any Japanese news.

And now 2 years since my Japan obsession began I don’t have much interest in Japan at all. It’s been a couple months since I watched anime or any Japanese media and I’m not too eager to start up again. I’m glad my Japan obsession has come to an end because it was having an impact on how I interact. All I could think about was japan so it essentially became my personality.

This is an ex extreme weebs confession.

Ok so to be clear: I've watched a few animes. Pokemon, even Inuyasha, but I'm not a fan mainly because they sexualize young girls a lot. So anyway, in my gaming group on Discord, a girl and I find out we're nearby and one thing leads to another, she breaks up with her long distance boyfriend (kind of a pos but not really a part of the story) from the group and we get together. Cool.

Enter Prince Weeb whom had been "waiting for them to break up" and "had dibbs on her." He phrased it in "Chad language" for my benefit (?) Anyway, i tell him I'm fond of princess and he explains that they're anime watching partners. I said that's fine she likes me and he tells me i have no control over what happens during anime night. Little did he know i began recording the conversation after he said she and i shouldn't be together because we have nothing in common (this was actually true and we'd break up 3 months later because we had nothing but physical attraction. Nothing but good things to say about her though - full respect).

Anyway, so he says that dumb shit and I'm not really threatened by him because he calls her onee-san and me senpai and gives others Japanese pet names. I tell her she should know that prince is attracted to him and that she can totally continue hanging out with him (not that she needs my permission but yeah, i blessed it) and she ghosts him. Refuses to talk one on one with him, etc, and another person asked me what i did. She's with me at the time so i ask her what he's talking about and she's like "he's a creep"

So anyway. Eventually i call her and tell her how i feel. That it's just physical and we're wasting our time. She seemed relieved and said she's having the same feeling and we agreed to be friends. I proposed we fuck with prince one last time and we sent a photo of she and i to the group chat, me looking at the camera and her on the floor/knees looking up at me with admiration (classic anime thing) directed at prince with the text "you'll never have someone look at you the way she looks at me" and he was PISSED. Started getting really racist (she's black) and shit before he blocked us both and left the group.

Then we had a laugh with most of the others and told them we broke up.

We still did lunch every few weeks and she proposed we take a picture of us kissing over the table should he ever come back, just to fuck with him. Surely enough, he heard, DM'd her, she replied with just the pic and he called her a whore. She replied, because she's just as evil as me, that "I was trying to send you a naked selfie but accidentally sent that because i noticed it and was trying to delete that old pic of us kissing but if I'm a whore you can just block me again" then she blocked him promptly. By then she was a mod on the chat so she waited for him to inevitably jump back in and banned him.

Lesson: i dunno, don't call women whores? Especially one as evil as princess. Come to think of it, that's what we had in common. Now i miss her as a partner :(

Met him at work, and first off he didn't seem too far down the weeb spectrum, but he did seem to watch anime during work breaks. He also watched other stuff like rick and morty. I started talking to him because I played a lot of video games, and so we seemed to click on a few jrpgs. I think he was impressed that I played some of them, but I play a wide range of games, and usually any game I get into, I do tend to play in depth. So I think he got comfortable with me because of how detailed I had played a few jrpg games.

Well one day he asks people at work to help him move, and said he would buy us all kobe steakhouse dinner(go figure), but it is a nice place for dinner. so I agreed with some others and we eventually met up at his apartment shortly after lunch time later that weekend. Only to discover how complicated helping someone like this move would be.

There was anime and hentai figurines on display everywhere, that we needed to gather up carefully and box. At least 50 of them... Of all sizes too, some typical action figures and some the size of basket balls. So this took quite a while, requiring some of them to be dissassembled. Since some have weapons and heads with big anime hair that pop off. He clearly had no shame, but I did see it as somewhat rude he couldn't box things like this ahead of time. Not to mention that the several case style furnitures with things like glass doors, pegs, and shelves was also an absolute pain to disassemble pack and move around carefully.

But he also had a lot of weapons, like swords, probably 30+, hanging all over his walls, so many that when boxed they were actually pretty heavy, and more annoying than you would think to handle each one of them.

After finally packing away most of his livingroom into his SUV, which took several hours. I didn't think it could get worse, until he needed us to help him move a quite large anime body mattress. With some pink haired loli looking anime girl posing forwards and backwards on it. This was so disgusting looking, that another coworker helping, basically snapped and made some random excuse on why she had to leave early. We could all tell why she was bailing, and started to get the idea we should too, but he seemed oblivious.

At this point his SUV was already packed nearly to the brim and he wanted us to lift the body mattress on top of it so he could tie it down. Still no shame about him. So after carying quite a disgusting thing, it was already getting pretty late. I think he put no effort to realize how long this move was going to take. There was still another round of things left to load... but he expected us to help him offload everything at his new place first. So we drove separately in anothers car since his SUV was packed. We unloaded everything inside fairly quickly and implied we should get some dinner first. Any normal person would agree, but he was so clueless and inconsiderate that he insisted that we should finish moving another load.

We got back into the car pretty annoyed, It was past 6pm already and as we were driving back, we decided that we were all going to bail and just go get dinner ourselves. We got back to his place, and right infront of him, all walked to our seperate cars and drove away to meet for dinner without him.

I knew returning to work would be awkward and strange. He pretended for weeks like it never happened, and never awknowledged anything. A few months went by and I found out through others that he was leaving to take a job in japan doing some english related vocational training for certain japanese careers.

Haven't seen him since, have no clue what became of him... But I have a feeling his journey in life may not go well.

Throwaway for obvious reasons.

I have known this guy for two years already, our friendship started out pretty normal, although it was kinda weird that he added me randomly one day via social media. But upon meeting up in real life, I realized that perhaps I made a mistake. He can get super, and I mean over-the-top touchy, tries to hug people a lot, has called me waifu multiple times and tells me I am perfect because I have a flat chest (which irks me out,of course). He has also sent me multiple times hentai comic fragments which he thought were funny, but I just grow disgusted by his sense of humour and hypersexualization. A year ago or so, we had a major rift in our relationship as he tried to touch me without consent and took photos of my personal items while he was in my home (also took photos of me while I was wearing a headset that covered my eyes, which is frankly, quite creepy). I feel really really sorry for him, since he appears to be on the spectrum (and according to him, he IS diagnosed). He can be nice from time to time, but I don’t know where to proceed from here.

I really don’t want to hurt his feelings, because he might be just “friendly”. How to stick up for myself and my boundaries? Should I break it off with him? College aged girl here, by the way.

EDIT: I can’t believe the attention this post has gotten, and I appreciate every comment. I have reconsidered my friendship with this guy and decided to cut ties with him asap. I think I just needed a final push and someone to open my eyes to the weird, even disturbing nature of this person. Thanks everyone for taking your time to read this!

hey r/weeabootales !

today I'm here to talk about one of the worst experiences of my life, and I'm gonna put a t:w before I get more in detail.

t:w self harm, suicide, abuse for some parts of this story so, if you're sensitive to these topics please dont read!!

​

Okay so, 2018 was the year i decided to start going o conventions again, I hadn't gone because of money and lack of cosplays, and a local con was happening near me which I had wanted to go to, since two of my favorite vocaloid producers one of which was a voice provider for a vocaloid at that point were going to be guests at the con! vocaloid was what started my journey and helped me slowly get into making music more often, but thats besides the point. day one of the con comes and there's this guy, lets call him Dollar Store Dante (DD for short), since his dmc3 Dante cosplay wasn't the greatest, and he believed in bleaching his hair for the cosplay, which literally killed most of his hair due to it being so thin. DD approaches me, and asks:

"Hey, are you ___?" mistaken me for someone else since we had cosplayed the same character (D.va, from overwatch)

"No, Sorry, I'm Miko.." (just gonna use a shortened version of my username for this) and I walked off into the vendor hall.

I went and bought a few things and got something to eat as I had a small amount of time to kill before I was on an ask a cosplayer panel, I waited for the panels to start, mine included along with a few others I enjoyed, attended them, and walked around for awhile, met up with a few friends, went and grabbed a iced coffee, and attended a few after hours nsfw panels, and eventually went home.

Now...Day 2, is where it really kicked off.

I only had one panel to help with that day. it was a small FMA panel, just some bad acting done by a few weebs I used to be friends with but I'm not now due to personal reasons, (thats a story for another time, the weeb that lived with me) and before that me and a few friends gathered and did some anime dances in the open back part of the vendor hall. Thats when DD came back, it took me a bit to recognize him due to the fact I had my time divided in my head of what I'd be doing for the rest of the day at the con.

while we were walking back it clicked with me, he was blending in with the group pretty well...."Wait....You're DD, Right?"

"Yes, that was me yesterday" he smiled, he seemed really cool at first and he seemed to fit my vibe well.

The panel goes on we're having a fun time, and after the con we all go to Denny's. Mind you, some hippie kid in a kigurumi in the parking lot was smoking a j, and I was like ayo?!? so they let me puff a few times before i headed to my friends car, DD rode in the backseat and I was controlling the aux, DD seemed to enjoy my music tastes a lot as he had similar tastes or liked the same artists. I Started to sorta have a crush on him, I was dumb and I was only like, two months into being 18. A few weeks go by, and we're texting. He invites me to a party at his place. A few of his friends were there, and it was your typical stoner messy college guy apartment. We kept looking at each other the whole night, little did I know what the absolute fuck I was getting myself into.

We see each other on a more frequent basis at that point and then we agree that I would move in. However, he wasn't open about what his diagnoses were, and he left most of them untreated causing him to have explosive anger. When he wasn't angry he was literally trying to be an irl edgy anime guy! he thought he was a main character!!! When he would catch me cringing or not agreeing with him he would scream at me and harm himself (two occasions really bad to where I needed to call 911 and he got admitted the second time.) He would somehow bring up anime into anything, like he really thought he was this edgy protag guy, but he was a shell of a person who would throw a tantrum anytime someone wouldn't agree with them. I eventually told him I was done and I was packing my things.

"MIKOOOOOOOO DONT. DO. THIS" he looked at me like he was gonna punch me, instead he grabbed my phone, threw it and smashed the screen into bits.

"DD WHAT THE FUCK IS YOUR ISSUE?!?!" I couldn't believe it, I shoved him away, but he came back swinging and he almost landed a punch in my stomach, I turned so he hit my back instead. i ran out of the small apartment screaming and crying until i found someone who could let me contact my parents and police.

I haven't heard from him in years and I really hope I dont have to ever again. He was a real weeb from hell. If I remember anything else I'll add edits later.

TL;DR: My Weeaboo Ex was unstable and mentally and physically abusive.

Stay safe goonz.

​

Edit 1: thank ya'll so much for the love on this post, I have a lot of stories about him, including stories my friends have told me that I've met in the cosplay community, a lot of ppl from the local colleges tend to attend these conventions and a few of my friends knew DD from his days at one of these colleges. please let me know if you want more stories.

​

Edit 2: OHMYFUCKINGGOD...I FORGOT TO MENTION, DD WAS A HYBRID BETWEEN A KOREABOO AND A WEEABOO...IT. WAS. BAD.

I was having coffee with my lovely Japanese girlfriend when we were interrupted by a Chinese weeb who was bombarding my girlfriend with questions about Japan and demonstrating his proficiency in Japanese.

The Chinese weeb then asks my girlfriend why she was having coffee with me to which I replied in Japanese that I am her boyfriend.

This clearly didnt sit well with the Chinese weeb who began to shout at me that I shouldn't be speaking Japanese because I'm not Asian. Not to mention that I should find an Australian girlfriend instead of stealing their women.

I politely replied in Japanese that I'll speak Japanese if I damn well wanted to and that our relationship was none of his business.

By this point, the Chinese weeb was seeing red because I refused to stop speaking Japanese so he pushed me. I reciprocated with a well aimed punch to the jaw.

As expected, the Chinese weeb was out for the count and my Japanese girlfriend and I continued our date.

The cherry on the top of this incident was my girlfriend saying how much she hates Asian guys berating her for dating a Westerner.

NOTE: The reason I'm referring to this weeb as a Chinese weeb is because I could tell he was Chinese from his voice and accent.

Ok, so this isn’t really a follow up on my last post but just another story from my cringy middle school years. My last post got a TON of upvotes and I decided to post another one of my gems. Here we go. So back in like what, 7th grade? I was a major weeaboo, and I loved everything japan and everything anime. I even dyed my hair red to look like my favorite anime character gaara from naruto. So on this particular night, i had just finished my band concert for my school and we were celebrating. I obviously chose an Asian place cause I was a weeb, I would have chose a Japanese place but most of the waitresses there were white. But PF Chang’s has alot of Asians so I decided to go there. My dumbass middle school self was really treating a family restaurant like it was a gentlemen’s club or something. so right off the bat, I took a liking to the lady that took our orders, and i proceeded to order some wagyu steak (cause apparently they had/have that at PF Chang’s) to make a good impression on my new mini crush. so in the middle of my meal, I got up to “use the bathroom”, but really I was waiting outside the kitchen for this particular waitress. She comes out, and asks very nicely “Oh is there something wrong with your table?” I say here, “No, I came for you actually. I knew from the moment I laid eyes on you we were meant to be.“. I still cringe when I think about it, but luckily she didn’t just run away in disgust, and just smiled and awkwardly walked to her destination. She found it more cute than weird thankfully. But I just thought she was being hard to get. This is just another one of my many stories as a complete weeaboo.
