You can be called a weaboo just for showing an interest in Japanese. Basically though,there are people out there who I've come across on the internet and they've been much more of a weaboo than I have,but they've also been cool people. Most people think weaboos are bad,and that's wrong.
In fact it's not really a term used in Japan,it's just basically someone that thinks Japanese culture is better than their own. Personally,I find it hard to really get into British culture because what's British culture? There's so much American and European influence. There's little that we can say is ours. We make more TV programmes than say the rest of Europe,but in Japan the foreign stuff is just on overnight!
