Get the weebmug. Obsessed with anime, dye their hair crazy colors, and only draw wolves/hands/eyes and nothing else. And Weeb can go hand and hand with basic in some cases.

Get the Weebmug. weeb is short for weeaboo.
previous meaning: a person who is obsessed with anime and japanese culture
meaning since 2016: a person who watches anime
reasons for change of usage:
in 2016, anime has increased its popularity exponentially due to different major influences, some of which include -
- netflix buying into the anime industry
- kim kardashian promoting darling in the franxx on her instagram
- as a result, normalization of anime in western countries
- "anime aesthetic" fashion, citypop, lofi, hiphop music with anime influence being widely popularized
- manga slowly but surely outselling western comics
in general it can be assumed that anime has since then turned into somewhat of a "normie" interest as (many, not all) people are now a lot more accepting and self expression for this interest is also widely more appreciated. this means, that the term "weeb" is being thrown around with a lot less weight, just like for example the term "nerd" is.

Get the weebmug. Weeb Characters are characters who originate from non-anime/manga media such as Video Games who were specifically designed to appeal to the Anime demographic. They also tend to have sexualized character designs as well.
"Ugh, they really announced Byleth for Smash Bros? She is just another Weeb Character with a sword."
