And no, dictionary shows that your friends are wrong, because they are going away from the original definition (by consensus) this word had/has. The word was created for what the dictionary says for, you're just misusing it.

inb4 define the word 'define'
Haha.. wow.. all aboard the fail boat alright.

objective - definition of objective by the Free Online Dictionary, Thesaurus and Encyclopedia.

Quote:
1. Of or having to do with a material object.
2. Having actual existence or reality.
3.
a. Uninfluenced by emotions or personal prejudices: an objective critic. See Synonyms at fair1.
b. Based on observable phenomena; presented factually: an objective appraisal.
What part of the following (which is your quote from Encyclopedia Britanica) is objective?

Quote:
"weeaboo (noun): a non-Japanese person exhibiting an obsessive admiration for Japanese anime that often extends to the broader Japanese culture"
I've already shown via my examples that the definition is subjective.
