Weeaboo
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") until it supplanted the original term altogether. The term typically refers to a person who believe that Japanese stuff is better simply because it is Japanese, with implications of harboring an unhealthy obsession with the culture and media of Japan (such as anime) while simultaneously managing to know very little about it.
They are also known to hate all other Asian cultures and think that Japan is the "Best Asia Ever!", despite not knowing that just 70 years ago (And before!), the Japanese and Japan itself was one of the most conservative, imperialistic, xenophobic, theocratic, fascist nations in the world, hated or despised by almost everybody else, with the majority of the vote stemming from China and Korea (Just open a history book you Lazies). Modern Japan was given a rise in popularity due to American propaganda, as THE Capitalist Ally in the East, and the new Japanese generation, after being nuked to submission, putting on a new Liberal Democratic theme presenting themselves as sexually-liberal free-market Libertarians with almost no similarity to their past Conservative-Fascist ancestors, to the point that they became the opposite: While Conservative-Imperial Japan boasted a high population rise, Modern Anime Japan is almost sterile to the point of extinction. This isn't surprising, given their issues with having space for everyone (fortunately, not as bad as it could be, yet). It helps that Conservative-Imperial Japan arranged-married pretty much everyone. It was much quicker to get people making babies that way.
/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 original 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.
tl;dr: no fa/tg/uys, you are the weeaboos.
