Me before Japan: I don’t need to weeb out over everything. Every place has its pros and cons.
Me after Japan: unfettered corporate capitalism has ravaged the quality of life in America. I am envious of the plethora of small businesses and vendors on every block in Japan, many of which have owners who are passionate about their craft and expertise. I am envious of the quality of their foods, products, and services, even from the humblest of sources, and their pride in that quality.
And if you’re as old and uncool as I am:
Weeb is a short form of weeaboo, a term first used by users of 4chan to insult obsessive fans of Japanese culture.
But that’s not entirely accurate. There’s an important distinction.
A weeb is a person who is interested in anime and Japanese culture. There is an important difference between a weeb and a weeaboo. The latter is a person who denounced their own culture, believe they are, or want to become, Japanese, they have a waifu or body pillow if some sort and watch hentai. Weebs are normal people who like anime and may have some merch.
Not looking up “waifu”. I think enough’s enough here.
