Parasite to the anime community. They consider themselves anime fans, but have usually not watched anime for more than 5-10 years and have spent most of that time watching a half dozen really long Shonen. If they did watch anime before, it is always Dragon Ball or Naruto. Actively avoid good shows if there's no English dub or it isn't on Crunchyroll or Netflix. Claims they are a fan of Japanese culture, but regularly complains about it. Would be a menace if they ever actually stepped foot in Japan and film themselves doing outlandish things for TikTok videos like dancing in a busy intersection or being loud on a subway. You commonly see them online shaming others for supporting anime studios directly by buying merchandise that isn't sold by Crunchyroll/Sony, complaining about fan service especially if the character is short and not morbidly obese, and downplaying the severity of mistranslations in various works, even if it was openly done maliciously. In real life, you may see them wearing a DBZ t-shirt to the gym. Adored by many of the worst people in the industry who benefit financially from anime being turned into a western cash cow like Marvel. Stereotyped as being African American, but not necessarily a requirement.
Hood Weeb: "This show is weird af yo, if you watch this for real you need to be locked up bro"
Normal anime fan: "Shut the f**k up and stay away from my hobbies hood weeb."

A lesser version of the weeaboo. Generally known for being less obsessive and annoying, and for being less disrespectful to japanese culture.
Friend 1: Dude, stop watching that Eromanga-Sensei bullshit, you'll get sucked in by the weebs.
Friend 2: Trust me, compared to some of the people on the internet with body pillows and shit, weeb is a compliment.

(Pl. Weebs)
A department of the nerd category, different than geeks or dweebs, a week is a nerd who specializes in the art of "God and anime".
Many a time you will see more often weeks who are fluent in the second art listed, and lesser so in the first. But sometimes, one might stumble upon a TRUE weeb who has mastered both arts- It is truly a magnificent sight.
