Originally it was short for weeaboo, but slowly they have morphed two different words.
Weebs are simply people who watch anime (Japanese shows) and do not have an obsession with Japan. It’s typically used in a derogatory way but weebs can also sometimes refer to themselves as such.
Most weebs are normal people who can tell fiction from reality, though there is a minority of weeaboos who fall under the stereotype (i.e. having bodypillows, trying to date fictional characters, etc.) this minority should not be lumped in with regular weebs and should instead be referred to as a “weeaboo”

A weeb is a weeb, regardless if they are male or female. That's not necessarily a bad thing however - it's OK to like the things you like.

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.
