You're here, aren't you? Proof enough for me. Fair warning, I am now in rant mode.
I've openly expressed I originally signed up for future consultation during my stay in Japan. I've actually just met a few decent people (enough to stick around and chat to) amongst the many "im 15 and hate america, can i move to nippon?!?" threads.
You're one of the jerks that made high school a living hell for anyone who wasn't athletic or popular. You could have set an example and risen above the cruelty teenagers often inflict upon each other, but, alas, no, you didn't. Ironic you made fun of that which you became.
Dude, I'll be the first to admit I was a dick in high school. I made mistakes. I picked on kids who didn't deserve it. But I was a kid, and I was immature. I just didn't get what would drive some kids to act like such socially retarded introverts. Obviously not everyone was like this. I didn't pick on the entire school. I even knew some cool people who enjoyed anime. But the wannabe Japanese, jpop listening, pocky eating dorks didn't compute with me. Would I take it back? Sure.
Do you have any idea how childish your post sounds? Many of us "losers" have gone on to pretty amazing things. Among my group of high school weeaboo people like you picked on are business owners and a telecom executive.
I guess you had your head buried deep in your notebook drawing crappy anime figures while the teacher was up at the board explaining what "outliers" are.
I was most definitely a weeaboo in high school and college, and probably still am. I, however, have met two US Presidents, one Secretary of State, one Secretary of the Navy, regularly reported on various politicians across all levels of government, traveled three continents, seven countries, lived in three, was an officer candidate in the US Navy (and may continue my commissioning path shortly), and have a healthy bank account.
I also have a job I do because I love it, even if many people don't take it seriously, and count myself blessed each day I get paid to do what I love.
Oh yeah, some loser I am.
You can go ahead and put your e-peen back in your pants now. If other self proclaimed weaboos put even half of that passion you just showed into their own lives, maybe they wouldn't get such a hard time. I could easily type a similar list of "credentials," and I'm in my early twenties. Why? Because I embraced life as it came instead of questioning why nobody understands me as I sat in my bedroom of my townhouse in middle-class white suburbia like so many weaboos out there.
