weeaboo

Short form: weeb.

Originally a term stemming from the same branch as 'otaku' and 'wapanese', it is now most commonly used a joking term amongst anime and manga fans who do not glorify Japanese culture, but instead just enjoy the content of said anime and manga. These fans are usually pretty light hearted about the term and use it almost ironically.

It should be noted that not all weeaboos are otakus, but some are, and will get really insulted when you use the term jokingly.
"You're such a weeaboo."
"Ha, yeah, I totally am."

"I am weeb trash, anime is great."

Weeaboo

Weeaboo is a term used to describe individuals who prefers Japanese culture, specifically Japanese animated cartoons and claim that they themselves are Japanese people even though they aren't. The tendency of such individuals would be to impose as a known Japanese character, attempt to speak Japanese or famous lines in an animated series, and a powerful obsession over anime. This however is not to be confused with Japanophile.

People who are branded by this title are mostly hated and detested by other individuals because majority of "Weeaboos" tend to be overly dramatic with their love and influence of Japanese animated Cartoons. This doesn't mean that anime is a negative impact to their being rather majority of Weeaboos may lack a sense of their reality. It may be considered as a kind of escapist but it was only given a name by 4chan users to which the term is derived from a Perry Bible Fellowship comic.

Its a popular term specifically used by western people to discriminate individuals, turning it into a tool of conformity or perhaps a norm that paves way to an aggressive act of bullying and racism. It has received negative definitions by a huge number of social entities, specifically in the American cultural society of today.

Weeaboo

Someone who gets a huge (and some might say extreme) interest in Japan because of anime, not to be confused with a Japanophile, who is someone interested in Japan as a whole, unlike Weeaboos Japanophiles have a real serious interest in Japan, and make more than a half-hearted attempt at learning Japanese, Weeaboos may try to learn Japanese, but usually end up making huge mistakes and sounding like complete idiots
I am Japanophile, my interest in Japan extends to various parts of Japan and her culture, unlike a Weeaboo, I am not purely interested in Japan because of Anime, in fact I have never seen any animes

They memorize millioms of quotes from animes. They are prone to cosplay excessively. They go to thousands of conventions, as many as they posibly can. Thee extremeist weeaboos are very prone to abandoning their own culture thus turning into wapanese. Next is extreme weeaboos. Extreme weeaboos may yarn to know or already know how to speak some or are fluent in Japanese. They watch anime & read mangas regularly. Extreme weeaboos memorize hundreds of quotes from animes. They go to conventions & Cosplay when they are able. They love learning about Japanese culture but will accept their culture. Now there are beginning weeaboos who don't know any Japanese.

Beginner weeaboos only mamorize a few quotes from animes they love, & don't constantly but do occasionally watch anime or read mangas. Regular weeaboos are the sanist of the weeaboos.
