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.

Get the Weeb mug.This is a synonym to japanophilia. It is often confused with otaku, which means liking anime, manga and the japanese culture in a respectful way, unlike beeing a weeb. Weebs often fetishise people with Japanese roots.

Get the Weeb mug.People who like anime but arent as addicted in it, watches some anime, not every single fucking one of them. Some are actually pretty nice, but most of them are shit.
