A person who retains an unhealthy obsession with Japan and Japanese culture, typically ignoring or even shunning their own racial and cultural identity. Many weeaboos talk in butchered Japanese with the 8 or so words they know (i.e. kawaii, desu, ni chan). While weeaboos claim to love and support Japanese culture, counter intuitively, they tend to stereotype Japanese culture by how it appears in their favorite anime, which can be safely assumed to be offensive to the Japanese.
If you love and respect Japanese culture and your own, you are not a weeaboo.
Merely liking anime or wanting to learn Japanese does not make you a weeaboo.

Ironic Weeaboo 

An obnoxious person that claims to ironically be a "weeaboo" because he's insecure about liking Japanese media.

The ironic weeaboo usually only "likes" anime and that are considered novel and low-depth like Maidragon, Monster Musume and Love Live or entry level such as Kill la Kill, Evangelion, and Jojo. The same goes for his Japanese game tastes which usually consists of equally surface-y series such as Neptunia, Senran Kagura, and Danganronpa of which most of the time he'll never actually play and will only claim so due to, again, it's novelty and "Japanese-ness"; The most the ironic weeaboo will ever actually "play" a game are pay-to-win mobages featuring fapbait girls such as Granblue Fantasy and Fate/Grand Order as it's easier to get into by just throwing hundreds of dollars at the screen than putting the investment in an actual, in-depth game as that would make them too "cringey" and "weird".

The ironic weeaboo is also quite fond of forced loosely anime-derived fads such as Earth-chan, Smug Wendy's, "Traps aren't gay", vaporwave, etc. and tired out phrases that have lost their meaning entirely like "waifu" and "thicc".

When the ironic weeaboo brings himself among the people that actually are actual fans of Japanese media he will immediately be hated which then the ironic weeaboo will become immensely butthurt. Thus he'll usually only ever be around other ironic weeaboos instead. You can mostly see them writhing about in Discord servers with anime girl avatars.

A infectious disease contracted by young american males or females through the popular culture of anime (Japanese Cartoons) and develop a heavy addiction to this culture at different stages.

Stage 1 (Low Addiction): Often talks about anime shows and characters

Stage 2 (Medium Low Addiction): Constantly talks about anime shows and begins to do impressions
Stage 3 (Medium Addiction): Begins to purchase anime posters and figurines

Stage 4 (Medium High Addiction): Purchases Japanese weapons such as Katanas and Anime Character Costumes and goes to every available Anime convention
Stage 5 (High Addiction): THIS IS THE POINT OF NO RETURN IF A PATIENT IS IN STAGE 5 THERE IS NO CURE FOR HIM. In Stage 5 the patient's love (key word) for anime has gone to a extreme level. The patient has purchased for him/herself a membership at Rosetta Stone just to learn a shitty version of Japanese and now starts to gain weight.

Stage 6 (Extreme Addiction): The patient shows an unhealthy obsession towards certain characters after the purchase of a body pillow (a pillow the size of that character or person) and begins to show sexual feelings toward the pillow.
As a professor in weebotology, I have never seen anything past stage 6 but I have seen some people on stage 6 where he/she could not be fixed. The only solution that I could come up with is bleach and I recommend clorox. Clorox is the only solution for weebola patients past stage 5.
Hey what happened to Jimmy? He was infected with Stage 6 Weebola. (proceeds to break down into tears)
