I couldn't disagree more. There are plenty of people here (including myself) who don't subscribe to the aspects that define one as being a weaboo.
To make a comparative analogy, you're saying that everyone who plays video games, recreational or hardcore, is an otaku.
Or that anyone who reads comics, whether recreational or hardcore, Japanese manga or Western graphic novel, is an otaku.
The word itself (with the definition) was purely created as a way to distinguish those who may have some sort of interest in Japan VS those who wish they were Japanese (and lived in Akiba and had a JP GF and ate ramen every day and blah blah blah).
The word "weaboo" is designed to point out the extreme, not just those who have an interest.
