I've just found it quite amazing this whole weaboo phenomena. As I said in the other thread I wasn't even aware it existed until I started frequenting this forum. In my whole life I have never come across anyone previously who was totally into anime, manga or Japanese culture. Sure I've met a few who were somewhat interested but not in a huge way where their whole life revolved around all things Japanese (not even after living in Japan all these years). I find it incredibly weird to say the least. Just like I would find it weird for someone to be over the top into a celebrity. It's a form of idolization but in this case for a whole country and it's culture. Whether such idolization be for a celebrity or for Japan, I think most of us recognise the reality is generally a very long way from the image these people have built up in their minds.
