Weeaboo

The original PBF comic.

Welcome to 4chan!

Weeaboo is a noun/adjective derived from a Perry Bible Fellowship comic, reaching internet stardom after the term was used as a wordfilter for "wapanese" on /b/. Although used in the comic as a nonsense word, it has since become synonymous with "wapanese" (itself short for "wannabe Japanese"). Weeaboos and wapanese are people who believe that Japanese stuff is better simply because it is Japanese, and typically have an unhealthy obsession with the culture and media of Japan (such as anime) while simultaneously managing to know very little about it.

/tg/ has a tendency to use the word in a derogatory manner to describe anything vaguely Asian in origin or inspiration one does not like. This often incites the ire of fa/tg/uys who insist on the more precise definition of the term, resulting in rage all round.

Of course, the fact that /tg/ tends to name any female orginal character [something]-chan and so many of the drawfags tend to have animesque art styles means that fa/tg/uys are the most weeaboo people on the- *BLAM*

In a weird way, one might say that weeaboo has made a full circle, and has returned to its origins - being of a word that means absolutely nothing, keeps getting repeated again and again, and leads to actions that are a complete waste of time.
