Hey, speak for yourself
I mentioned this in another thread, but after talking to my mother about coming to Japan, the first thing she said was "You're not going to turn into one of those anime losers, are you?"
The bad thing is though is that she's someone who knows absolutely nothing about Japanese culture, yet even she has a rough knowledge of the weaboo phenomenon in America. I mean, the "animetards" are the kids we (football and lacrosse team) used to haze in high school, but this was back when there weren't that many of them. Now I walk into regular stores and see pocky and manga for sale
So I actually resent the weaboos, japanophiles, otakus, whatever you want to call them. They're the reason why I used to hate telling people I was studying business to move to Japan. I didn't want to get lumped into the losers category. I've gotten over that now, but I still either get people who look at me weird, like "Oh, god, he's one of those people..." or "OMG YOUR GOING TO JAPAN!?!? I WANNA MOVE THEIR AND MAKE VIDEOGAMES!!desu"
