A term originally used as a self-description for anime fans from the literal hood. Quickly appropriated by, typically right-leaning, terminally online, 4chan-adjacent anime fans due to anime youtuber Chibi Reviews being doxxed and some people not sharing sympathy for his situation causing the terminally online individuals to believe the same "hood" individuals who are somehow not intelligent enough to consume anime critically are also simultaneously responsible for hacking into Chibi's credentials.
Prior to the pandemic boom anime was seen in a negative light; associated with cringe comps and bullying. Post-pandemic, however, their hobbies of consuming loli material, waifu culture, and Japan xenocentrisim was suddenly exposed by younger and/or less online demographics. The online fans redirected all their hate to the, arguably, largest vocal demographic against their people, black teens who exclusively watch shonen, previously referred to as shonentards in the 2000s. Shonentards are essentially 'hood weebs' just without the racially charged implication.

Hood Weebs are seen as African Americans who consider themselves anime fans while only exclusively watching shonen. Dragon Ball and Naruto is a requirement. Bleach and/or One Piece tends to be the third anime watched. And said group tends to 'diversify their pallete' due to the fear of being send as a 'shonentard' by watching whatever "less shonen-y" shows are avaliable on streaming like Death Note or Steins Gate. Typicially engages in anime discussion exclusivey through battle boarding or hypothetical 1v1s or 'solo'-ing.
Hood Weebs tend to vocalize their embarrassment of being associated with the broader anime community due to the actions of other anime fans (waifu culture, lolis). While the other group don't want to associate with them either due shonen-bias, immaturity, being normies, and ethnicity. Ultimately leading to a very embarrassing civil war for all parties involved.
