Editing Weeaboo (section)

==What DOES make you a Weeaboo==
[[File:WeeabooDreamsShattered.png|thumb|250px|right|Weeaboo discovers the horrifying truth (From the manga ''Peepo Choo'', which tries to beat some sense into weebs)]]
'''Note''': This is a non-comprehensive list that includes all items that definitively make you a weeaboo; because the line between weeaboo and non-weeaboo is blurry, the traits shown here are deliberately on the [[That Guy|more extreme side]]. Someone who has traits that aren't quite as bad as the ones listed may still get called a weeaboo, but that's a [[skub|matter of debate]].

*Considering anime / manga as a superior art form just because it's from Japan
:* Galaxy Brain: complaining that early Japanese-made cartoons which still look more like the Western cartoons that inspired them (like [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=htLKgRItMyA ''Danemon's Monster Hunt at Shojoji''] from 1935) aren't "real anime"
*Automatically thinking Japan and everything about it is superior to other countries for no conceivable reason, other than the fact that it's Japan. <s>It's just superior to AMURICA Japan won ww2!!.</s>
*Decrying all weapons, strategies , soldiers and military leaders of the world as inferior in contrast to the glory of the samurai.
*Complain that any Western work of fiction is ripping off anime using very weak evidence
*Getting [[rage|angry]] when someone doesn't watch your favorite show (borderline evidence; can be found in [[Neckbeard|non-weebs]] as well)
*Refusing to acknowledge flaws in Japanese stories or merits in Western stories because of their origin
:* Note: Having intense arguments about which anime is better can still enter weeb territory
*[[Inquisition|Judging people's character based on their taste in shows]], especially if you're calling people who don't share your taste fake anime fans
*Accusing people who are watching a show you don't like of destroying anime
*Vilifying dubs as a matter of principle, regardless of actual dub quality.
:*For extra stupid: complaining about "dubs" and asking for the "original Japanese sub" for shows that were ''[[derp|made in English]]''.
:*Next level stupid: Only watching western shows in Japanese dubs with English subtitles.
:*Ultimate level stupid: [https://twitter.com/FlamingFreezer?lang=en| Harassing English voice actors on Twitter] [[what|and comparing voice acting in any language other than Japanese to bestiality and pedophilia.]]
*Eating Japanese cuisine ''exclusively''.
:*Bonus points: thinking the Japanese eat nothing but traditional Japanese food, despite the fact they've been taking a liking to western food for centuries (Tempura was brought to Japan by the Portugese in the 16th century).
:*Getting angry at people who eat Asian Fusion instead of "real" Japanese food
:**Alternatively: Only eating Panda Express / Asian Fusion because you have no idea what Japanese food is besides sushi and ramen (for the record, ramen is considered Chinese food over there).
*Wanting to visit Japan [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dWiI6JVX5PE and then getting disappointed that it's not like anime] 
*Expecting all Asian people to have watched anime and be as big a weeaboo as you
*Learning Japanese poorly by watching anime, then slipping in the handful of words you know into everyday conversation constantly, whether your peers understand you or not (see above sample text)
:*Shouting "Kimochi!" in public. The literal translation means feeling good, however the connotations are closer to "I'm cumming!", which is not something you use in a casual conversation. Bonus points for saying it in front of someone fluent in Japanese, who will either look at you funny and/or call the police out of [[Dark Eldar|fear of sexual harassment.]]
*Referring to everyone you know as -chan or -kun or -senpai at all times, despite you not being in Japan. (bonus points for using honorifics incorrectly or using them when describing yourself)
*Endlessly quoting shit from anime, whether it's appropriate or not
*"Glomping" (leaping at and aggressively hugging) people who at best only think of you as an acquaintance. This can be especially bad if you're significantly heavier than the intended target.
*Watching excessive amounts of [[/d/|hentai]] (look, we get it, for most people porn is porn. But there's a point where watching 30 cartoons a day about [[dickgirl]]s getting their [[anal circumference|asses rammed]] becomes a [[heresy|problem)]]
*Liking [[Lolicon]] or Shotacon (okay, maybe you're "just" a pedophile, but how the fuck is that better?)
*An obsession with Yaoi or Bishies, particularly stories with [[rape]] (most often applies to female weebs. The Japanese actually have a term for this: Fujoshi, which literally means "rotten girl.")
:*Taking your obsession into the real world by "shipping" real life dudes, whether they're gay or not (or you're just fucking creepy, in which case you're in the same "Just as Bad" category as pedophiles).
:*Blackmailing creators into [http://www.newnownext.com/voltron-legendary-defender-blackmail-studio-mir-klance/05/2017/ making your gay fanfiction canon].
:*On rare occasion a Fujoshi may join your gaming group and become the female equivalent of [[That Guy]], usually by rolling up a flamboyantly gay character who sexually harasses the other male characters to an uncomfortable degree.
*Unironically rejecting all real-life women for cartoon women (aka "3D Pig-Disgusting")
:*Getting into arguments over how your [[waifu]] is superior and all other waifus are shit
:*Getting into arguments with artists over misrepresenting your waifu
:*Getting into arguments over whether or not having more than one waifu counts as infidelity
:*Getting angry at people drawing/fapping to porn of your waifu (as long as they are over 18)
:**(Getting mad at shitty artists for stinking up the search term with their poorly drawn art, particularly if the resulting art is objectively bad or doesn't actually resemble the character, and especially if the artist appears to be [[Internet Troll|just trolling]] is probably still on the non-weeaboo side of the line. Getting mad that most of the art caters to a fetish you don't share can also be on the non-weeaboo side of the line, depending on the character, fetish, and relation between the two, in question.)
:**All of the above applies to husbandos too.
*Running with your arms behind your back unironically or not as a joke. [[Stormfang|No, it's not more aerodynamic]]. [[Orks|No, it doesn't make you faster]]. [[Derp|It just makes you look like a tool.]]
*Most of your wardrobe and possessions are related to anime in some way, such as [[Games Workshop|mountains of useless and expensive figurines]] that are not [[Battletech|model kits]] (and before you say it, at least you can do something with [[Warhammer]] figurines besides look at them)
:*Owning expensive statuettes of your waifu
:*Owning expensive statuettes of your waifu that you legally can't show to minors
*Wearing cosplay outfits in public outside of conventions 
:*Getting angry when a cosplayer isn't in character 100% of the time, or else is "doing it wrong"
:*Wearing cosplay when you are too fat to resemble the character's body type, especially if you insist that your cosplay is "perfect." Bonus points if [[Furry|you ''are'' the character now]], and everyone should treat you as such (though in all fairness there are plenty of Western media cosplayers who don't fit the body types either).
*''Unironically'' owning a [[wikipedia:Dakimakura|dakimakura]], because we all know what that's about.
**Going on dates with your dakimakura without a hint of irony
**Going on dates with your dakimakura in public that isn't part of a joke
*[[Katanas are Underpowered in d20|Believing the katana is the best weapon ever and can cut through ANYTHING]] (and in the event that if they could do so if made from a hypothetical bullshitium alloy, that any other type of sword would not be able to do the same if made from the same metal)
*Going to the Holocaust Museum and taking a photo doing the Nazi salute because of Hetalia ([http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lmwdem2a6P1qf7xf0.jpg yes, that actually happened])
*Shoving Hetalia characters into geography or talks about it during a class of international relations and expecting people to get your reference
*Accusing people of being racist or using whataboutism during discussions of the [[Slaanesh|Nanking massacre and any other]] [[Nurgle|of the fucked up stuff Japan did during WWII.]] C common tactic of the subtype known as Tojoboos. Obviously named after the guy who was Japanese Prime Minister during the war.
*Attacking movies as [[SJW]], then sabotaging review scores in favor of a live action adaptation of a manga or anime.
*Whining about [[/m/|Mecha]] being CGI; only Sunrise even bothers with 2D mechs anymore after the airing of a certain shitfest by Trigger. Those complaints always comes from the "3D Pig-Disgusting" crowd.
** This also happens when anime of other genres use 3D animation too. 2D waifu snobs ignore the fact that it takes less time for two people behind a laptop and a small group of dancers with motion capture equipment to record movements than an entire team of animators drawing frames for several months. After 2020, even mainstream animators like Toei (the studio behind Dragon Ball, PreCure, Pokemon, Kamen Rider, Super Sentai, etc.) now use CGI for their major franchises. As MoCap moves more realistically than 2D frames.
*Doxxing someone, or sending death threats to the animation studio/voice actors because they did something that you didn't like. I'm not fucking kidding, some Danganronpa fans doxxed this girl for not agreeing with two characters being shipped, causing her sexual abuser to find and molest her again. Also, Attack on Titan fans have been sending death threats to Studio Mappa and Gabi's voice character (fuck Gabi, but this doesn't justify sending death threats). Fucking pathetic. 
*Overly Fetishizing Japanese women. Yes, there are plenty of attractive Japanese women (and Japanese men for that matter). No that's not an excuse to be a creep around them.

Partial exception is granted for people who are explicitly in metaphor mode or reaching for a good description (e.g., "The closest word I have to describe his attitude towards the show is full-on Tsundere; he loves it so much he hates it.")
