A Weeaboo is someone who really wishes they were Japanese, and/or who have an absolute, almost creepy obsession with Japan and all things Japanese.

For example, the person who I quoted who wished Japan won World War 2 and invaded her country, America, would be a Weeaboo, as that is seriously not a good thing today.

Why all the otaku hate? It doesn't affect you how sad they are about Japan. Geez, just cut them some slack, they're kids, put them on ignore.
But yes, what I'm saying is they ARE picking and choosing, they don't give a damn about anywhere but their obsession, Japan. And that just hits a nerve with me.

I know why, but I can't tell you, I'm sorry. It's something that'd probably make everyone not like me. I know this question I ask is strange, and something no normal person would worry about. But trust me, to me the responses I get to this are of huge importance to me and my mentality. :/

And as mentioned, your case of knowing people there is perfectly fine, as you actually have physical connections to the country. But the people I'm talking about have never been within 1000 miles of there.

Like I said, I know my issues seem strange, and I'm sorry, but for a deep reason I need to raise them. :/
