I wouldn't say it was for no reason in a thread asking if I'm a weeb. If I mentioned it in any other thread (I haven't) then you'd have a point.

How does one go pro at being a weeb?
Aside from becoming an Anituber that is.
I used to translate smut manga from Japanese, but I didn't like it. What do you call that?
Sorry, my point is I don't pretend to know anything about Japanese culture :P
It wasn't good. Trust me. You don't want it. It was softcore smut for ladies. Lots of asshole guys with dark/mysterious backgrounds. Pretty boring actual smut parts.
nope.
i find weeb culture so strange personally.
i like anime, and i'm a fan of many Japanese things, but nowhere near obsession.

LOL, I wasn't serious but damn that sucks that you had to work on it. As for what it would make you, someone doing their job.
I put half my car in the gutter so I can corner better on tight roads
Wait what? Like how to make your own or just analyzing the medium like what film majors do?

To a degree. I play Japanese games, own figurines, and watch anime and read manga. Also been to Japan.
I however do like and partake in dubbed games and anime, cringe anytime people insert random Japanese into English sentences, and have no problems criticizing aspects of Japanese culture. I also call it "My Hero Academia" and "Attack on Titan" instead of "Boku no Hero Academia" and "Shingeki no Kyojin".
So, to the common person, I am a weeb. But not the kind of weeb that makes the word an insult.

Based on that post you're like an 8 mate and it's a logarithmic scale.
It was mostly about relating anime back to Japanese culture and/or history. One week, we had to read numerous papers about otakus (real otakus, the ones "normal" people get weirded out about), the history of waifu culture, and why lolis and/or "innocent youthful girls" seem to be so prevalent (as objects of romance and/or sexual desire) in the medium.
A lot of people would bring up examples from newer anime/manga... But I haven't really read/watched much anime since like Code Geass, so most of them went over my head.
No.
I watch anime, but I feel like I don't like it.
It's basically Full Metal Alchemist at the top, then it's all downhill from there.

The only anime I really follow is Jojo's but I don't feel I watch Jojo for the correct reasons. That series is a black comedy where absurd and horrible shit happens and I love absurdist humor. It is not a show I will ever get emotional resonance from.
It takes a lot for me to actually start a new anime.
95% of anime is pure trash.
4% is pretty good/entertaining.
But 1% contains some of the most riveting and hard-hitting stories ever made, brought to life with glorious production values.
I love that 1% to death (AoT, FMA:B, Vinland Saga, Mob Psycho).
But I hate cringy anime with a passion.

Pretty much feel the same way as you, very few that I actually care about.
I like some anime and def was in my youthful days but all the gross shit about anime kinda pushed me away and I'm just kinda done with it.
No but that Bleach is also good. Strong smell but it's good for getting out stains ;)
oh shit, the real life Davido-kun. You're a legend around these parts.
No more than I am a "gamer" because I play games. I'm interested in all kinds of stuff, don't feel the need to attach my own identity to any of it.
Haha. My avatar actually has a super non-toxic relationship for a villain!
???
Your avatar looks like it has seen some shit haha
Not aimed at you but the right leaning side of this particular sentiment is beyond annoying here, and should be banworthy (when it's in a random thread). It just derails discussion in nothing more than a "LOL you like NERDY SHIT" ad hominen attack trying to make someone feel bad for liking something.
Basically, alt-right, as much as everyone loves to pretend, are people. People like different things. They also like cars, meat, guns, using the bathroom, television, video games, the internet, working out, going to school, ect.
All my friends are super into anime and most of the communities I engage with also fall suit, not a single person I know is alt-right. They are all progressive, lgbt, or some other very left side of the spectrum for their country.
Kind of? I do watch anime but I'm very picky with it and most of the time it's slice of life. I do read manga too but I haven't completely dove into it yet. I play and enjoy Japanese games like a lot of ppl. I don't know too much about Japanese culture other than little tidbits here and there.
I guess ppl would consider me a koreaboo tho? But even then I'm not weird nor obsessed with putting Korea on a pedestal or anything.
