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.

Weeb week is a self chosen week for a non-weeb who only watches it once a month, so they dedicate a week out of a month to catch up.
