Contrary to popular belief, watching anime or reading manga does not make a wapanese. A wapanese s a person who takes it to that level where people look at them and feel a rising urge to punch them.
What they are: Mostly caucasians, that believe by watching untranslated japanese cartoons (anime), eating
nothing but asian junk food they can buy online (Pocky, assorted ramen and mountains of sweets) and in
short, grabbing anything with the slightest trace of Japan, and in turn shunning all western items, believing them to be inferior. A wapanese is a wannabe Japanese person. Often they know little to
nothing about Japan (only what they've read), but hold a belief that it is the best country in the world, and harbour deep ambitions about living there, despite being unemployed and living with their
parents.
What they think: That if indeed they did imigrate to Japan, they would be adored and revered and have women fawning over them. Unlikely, as they are generally vastly
annoying (And annoyingly vast).
Aso they believe that merely by watching Naruto, they can become Ninja.
Habitat: You
will generally meet a lot of cool people at anime conventions, who's lives are not ruled by the going on of Tokyo Mew mew etc. but you can always spot the wapanese being a loud, disagreeable asshole, telling
british artists that their drawings are not "TRUE MANGA", because they are not japanese. Also noticeable by the dreadful cardboard cosplay, that is drooping and randomly patched with tinfoil.
What they could wear: Horrible
tight T-shirts with japanese symbols that they don't understand (it could say 'KICK ME' for all they know.), or worse : Hello Kitty, who is in fact a
british creation! Or the afore-mentioned cosplay.
In closing, anime and manga are
fine, as long as you don't just love the japanese element. I
like all comics, and animation. I don't care where it came from! Wapanese give anime fans a
bad name, so shame on them!
Wapanese: Deep down in my heart, I just know I was meant to be born Japanese.
NormalDude: What gives you that idea.
Wapanese: They are just the greatest people ever. I have such a deep connection.
NormalDude: No you haven't.
Wapanese: I entirely do! Check out my Hello Kitty
tattoo!
Kawaii, huh?
NormalDude: Hello Kitty's
english, man.
*Wapanese screams and heads for nearest lasering facility*
