But what makes this different is that it's a collective opinion. This collective opinion turns into a general consensus. This general consensus turns into a description.

I'll tell you a really short story. My first year of college I met this guy who was OBSESSED with Japan. He'd never been to the country. He told me, "I've given up on America, I want to live my life in Japan."
This, my friend, is being a weaboo.

Like I said, this is moot. If everything is taken as relative then we wouldn't be able to give a description to anything. This isn't thinking in practical terms.
