Everyone has pointless interests.

While I appreciate the intent, it’s played out so heavy-handedly it loses its ability to be clever.

hahaha lol!

I have some friends who are into anime enough that they learned japanese… and total fail at the accent because they talk anime style. It’s so… yeah…

I still want to know how a nonsense word from a PBF comic that had -NOTHING AT ALL- to do even remotely with anime came to be associated with Otaku. ( Or how anime fanatics decided to start using a rather insulting Japanese term as a proud title for themselves…. )
I’m an anime fan myself. But there’s a difference between “fan” and “fanatic”. :p

Some guys can’t get pussy, so they turn to Japanese children’s shows.

You can never EVER be accepted fully into Japanese society. Even someone of Japanese decent, that was born and raised in the western world, would be shunned. It’s frustrating that they are like that, but can you blame them? We have such massive penis. Huge penis!

I was a weeaboo in high school and my first year of college…thank god, one visit to an anime club set me straight. Next to the fact everyone speaks Japanese in high pitched voices at any given time, they also felt the need to heckle characters too.

I live in Southern California (in Orange County), and my family has been housing international students for the past three or so years. We’ve had students from Taiwan, China, Brazil, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Vietnam, Poland, and MANY from South Korea and Japan. I suppose it’s a somewhat edifying experience…

@AlecDalek: Those of us who can turn to Japanese grown-up anime.

@Tyger42: You can thank 4Chan for that.

@Denmarkian: Figures. Just like every other bit of idiotic drivel that infests the Internet these days. I guess I shouldn’t try to hard to see the through line between the comic and anime fanatics…

@yawn: I think there’s a big difference between Spongbob Squarepants and Watchmen.
