A Weebollene is the
Greek version of a Weebo. A Weebollene is an over-obsessive
fan of Greek mythology and often times comes across as an amateur/wanna-be Classicist.
Many Weebollenes are Pagans and claim to worship the Greek gods, and many claim to have direct experiences with gods like Athena.
The weebollene's obsession with
Greek culture often results in harmful acts of cultural appropriation of
Greek identity, such as constructing a
neo-pagan
faith-based religion they call "Hellenism" or "Hellenismos." Hellenism/Hellenismos in actuality, is the term that identifies Greek identity, culture,
history, language, and so on.
Many weebollenes call themselves "Hellenists" or "Hellenes." In the latter case, Hellene, the ethnonym of the Hellenes (Greeks), is appropriated and used offensively as a Pagan identity by
non-Greeks.
Many weebollenes harbor AntiHellenic sentiments, since their obsession is with ancient Greek culture, they marginalize and harm Greeks today through cultural appropriation and other discriminatory behaviors.
Ashleigh is such a Weebollene, she thinks
Athena visited her during a shower, urging her to be a Hellenist and
teach Hellenism to
people!
