Don't put words in my mouth like that. Seems to me like you're trying to be a know-it-all here. It's rather strange..

I didn't say you were trying to define anything. I just said you've proved my point.

Why are you getting so hostile towards me?

Haha.. you're the troll.

I suspect that something I said hit a nerve.

It's funny because I wasn't even trying to be offensive to anyone.

You pretty much made it seem like I was trying to define the word weaboo. And I was not. I posted my opinion on the term - that's all.

It wasn't my intention to make it seem that way so sorry about the misunderstanding.

A weeaboo is someone who is obsessed with Japanese stuff. It's as simple as that. I have no idea why are you arguing about word definitions here...

Apology accepted ^^v

I'm not arguing definitions. I'm saying that it's a slur and can't be defined objectively.

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.

Urban Dictionary is written by /b/tards. I've written so much crap there. Unreliable 99% of the time.

Enyclopedia Brittanica says:

"weeaboo (noun): a non-Japanese person exhibiting an obsessive admiration for Japanese anime that often extends to the broader Japanese culture"
