My opinion on: Weebs

I felt like writing my thoughs about weebs. I understand, you watch anime but taking everything as far as banging a body pillow is just... wrong. Well, don't take anything seriously here, it's mostly written in a sarcastic aspect.
Anyways, I don't need to explain what the hell a weeb is? [It looks like i must]
From my point of views: A man/girl so addicted to anime that his whole life depens on it, his virtual waifu will not replace anything, goes as far as weebyfying [read: changing into anime] his whole room with body pillows, changing his car decal to include him and his waifu, and basically other horrific stuff which you wouldn't even imagine.
This is not a case for everyone but, hey. It's mostly commonly described on internet to a person which watches anime/or buys anime merchandise. I personally see nothing wrong with buying ex. Anime figurine or anime... anime... what-oh. anime those-hang-on-walls photo [I forgot this word...] and anime merchandise overally.
But what i don't get is this "YOUR WAIFU IS SHIT" flamewars on *cough* 4chan *cough* reddit *HEAVY COUGH* IGNBoards and basically anything that is a forum. I understand that weebs think that their waifu>all even your gorgeous af wife is worse than his waifu.

Term meaning: wafiu = Wife [Japanese]

Also second thing i don't get and ask myself: why.
Feeding your waifu [Body pillow, Figurine acting like she's real] I will not comment on this topic beause it's cringe worthy.
Third? Well as you can guess, insanely defending your x anime. Dude, opinions exist. It's not like everyone will like what you watch. And yes, i'm especially refering to SAO, Bleach and Naruto weeaboos since they once wanted to beat me up on a street because i disliked Naruto or their fictional OC. *sigh* Hell, i'm not even creating a flamewar on a damn interwebz if somebody dislikes what i watched....
Fourth would be probably what i mentioned early: Claiming that something fictional is yours. You probably saw that story on IGNBoards about dude with weebified his car to include him and his waifu kissing?! Hahaha... *cough* Sorry.

Last one? Guess it. Great Anime Wars/Sexual Approach to something fictional/anger etc.
Yeah, i can live with those shitty anime wars but man, if you're into bodypillows or a plastic dolls that has your waifu head on them then there's something wrong with you. Anger, they can go as far as creating a 150 page thread explaining why most of your real-life girls are sluts etc.

Well, they're not that bad, and this doesn't apply to every weeaabo out there. [How do i even write it, jesus] You're not a weeaaboo [._.] If you just watch anime, or buy manga and probably anime related merchandise. Just don't go as far as these guys, it's not worth it imo. I myself just watch anime and that's all but i'm still named a weeaboo by some internet normies. Oh well, guess you can't change facts that some people are just retarded *shrugs*
Live your way weebs but without affecting anyone or without spreading cancer because that's literally what it's called. It's just cringe worthly seeing a dude speaking to his body pillow or even dating it ;-;
Well, nothing wrong with them after all. You could say they have mental illness but for me, who cares? Atleast they don't record themselves cutting to random fictional character [ex. Satan] They're people just like us but they prefer 2D-way of life. [lol, i can't even]

*re-reads everything* Why i even wrote this much, jesus christ.
Anyway, your opinion on weebs? Comment if you want.

See you in another [This became usual in my blog posts] boring rant about life™

The general idea that I've seen on GBATemp which makes one a "weeabo" is for preferring the original audio than the one forced upon and thus far "Your a weeabo haha!!11!!1!".

I'm such a weeabo for preferring to watch Taxi in French than the English dub they did for it.

I normally don't have an issue with dubs nowadays since it's come a long way but there are still plenty of crappy ones anyway. Like for example, I can't stand the Portuguese dub of Dragon Ball Super so I'd rather watch it in Castellano (gotta wait months for the next arc to be broadcast). If the English Funimation dub and this one is near-perfect as is had fixed the pronunciation of 'Saiyan' I'd pick that over any dub or the Japanese audio (Schemmel is no Nozawa but he's his own Son Goku). But well, they won't.

D'Artagnan and the Three Muskateers is an old classic Japanese cartoon series but the country/city focused in was in France so for authenticity I should've seen it in French but I've forgot the language and subs? Not seen 'em anywhere. Instead, I watched it in Portuguese (the dub was actually pretty good) and loved it.

Some months ago I watched Kaiketsu Zorro in Spanish (and the series was based in Spain) and it was absolutely stunning, the picture quality for TV rips was fine in itself too.

You could say that I just prefer to watch/hear series or games dubbed in where the voice-cast puts effort into it than a rushed dub.

P.S. The English dub of Puyo Puyo Tetris isn't bad... If you cherry pick it. :P

If you lived in Germany you would have a problem with dubs... Oh why they suck so much?!
Not just Anime, but any movie.
And finding an OV for a movie you want to watch in the cinema tends to be PITA and you end up having to travel... Well, unless you live in Berlin where they may show more OV movies than dubs.

You sound like a weeb. Even with the way you write, and your "*does something*"- astarik role play thing doesn't help.

What you're referring to is a creep.
 
Judging by op, this is more about those that take waifu seriously and not weebs in general. I use the term weeb loosely, not in a negative light. Those that are obsessed need their own term like "ultraweeb" or something. I just parallel it with anyone that takes being a fan of anything too far. I have a distaste for any obsessed fan of anything, and that's putting it lightly. As for the "my waifu is best waifu" threads and those that take it seriously, those type of ppl are the definition of beta male and need to stick to their pillows and 3dpd philosophy. If they got with a real female, they would be prime cuck material in the original sense of the term.

I feel the term weeb has been watered down from what it used to be.
I mean, I don't watch anime at all, (Been meaning to catch up on Dragon Ball but I just can't be bothered) nor do I read manga. I consider myself a weeb - or at least a partial weeb though because I love Japanese vidya, music, food and have two figures of female characters in my room.

Seems these days all you need is a anime avatar to be a labeled a weeb

@Kourin I've been meaning to order the Dragon Ball Full Colour Freeza arc comics but I just don't know if I'd really want to continue it till the end. I'm not one to read digital books either, it just doesn't feel right to me.

Freeza arc is good imo. It's where the creator originally wanted the series to end so it's before the series went crazy with powerlevels and Freeza himself is my favorite villain in the series.
 
I've been watching Dragon Ball Z dubbed in Latin American Spanish, and its superior to the english dub. Goku sounds badass and not derpy. Spanish Goku sounds better than the Japanese one too. Overall characters voices fit much better compared to english ones, and acting is better. Zelda's BOTW Spanish sounds a lot better too.

I've been hearing that Latin American Dubs for Anime and video games are superior to English ones because they have better experience, since they been dubbing for a very long time and take it more seriously. I hear they even keep it uncut close to the original source material. If its altered, than most likely its from the tv station not the Spanish dubbing. Too bad we can't get good English actors.

@Kourin I know it is, I love Freeza as an enemy and it was nice to see him back in Super though that was really just a rehash of Resurrection F.

The paper quality and print on those Full Colour comics are absolutely amazing, and while there is some small censorship and somewhat strange translations by Viz. It's a masterpiece of a release, nevertheless.

@SG854 The Latin Spanish dub of all Dragon Ball series/etc is pretty well done and they even went as far as using the whole -jin terms from the original Japanese dialogue.

Some that come to mind:
Namekuseijin
Saiyajin
And Piccolo's Pikkoro

There are still some dubnames like Krillin (suppose it was easier than pronounce Kuririn), Freezer (instead of Freeza or Furiza for authenticity's sake). I utterly hate the "name" they use for Chichi on the Latin Spanish version... Milk. Yes, I know the story behind why they didn't use Chichi but if they're going all-out to be as close to the original dialogue then this shouldn't have happened.

The Castellano dub (the old dubs of DB were total crap but Super's amazing, imo) use the original-ish names and terms and Chichi is Chichi. I love that they say Saiyan as it is, than Say-un (the Funimation way). :P



Just a shame that the Castellano dub of Super will only return by Summer or later. :-/
 
This doesn't have to do with weebs persay but with the fandoms. The Undertale one is so bad, one day I decided to listen to Maya's theme from Ace Attorney since it's a nice song and then all these comments about "it sounds like undertale dating lol" i'm like "bitch this music came out before you were born".

@Saiyan Lusitano Ya using Chichi's original name in Spanish is hilarious.

Maybe you weebs are on to something when you say English dubs suck compared to Japanese. Maybe your not so crazy after all. If a language other than Japanese can sound good in dubs (Spanish), then the whole English dubs sucks isn't so crazy after all.
