No.

I love living in Japan. I enjoy the food, the scenery, the culture, and the people. But I have my own ancestry and culture, both of which I am also proud.

I used to be. But even then, it wasn't much. I'm more into my own European and American culture now. I'm too proud to be obsessive over something I'm not. I still think Japan is the snit and I'd love to go visit someday.

Japanophiles insist on using chopsticks to consume everything from hamburgers to aspirin.

XD. That's so me in some way. I don't know. I used to only eat with chopsticks when we went out to eat at like a Chinese food place or something. But then I found that I really liked them so I use them all the time now. I don't know about Hamburgs though. Hmmm.....

Known for stubbornly defending Japan's long history of IRL banhammering other races.
For even more lulz, mention the Rape of Nanking or the Bataan Death March and watch them deny it like Ahmedinejad does the Holocaust.


Oh man, that's wrong, hilarious, and so totally true. I say that we round all of them up and launch them all to the sun.

In photographs, a Wapanese will always be shown making a peace sign with one hand while squinting their eyes and contorting their facial features into a grotesque imitation of the ^_^ smiley, EVEN if they weren't actually doing so when the picture was taken.

Hahaha, I do that too a lot. I blame it on Sensei...*runs and hides*
Well, in my defense I switch it up and throw up deuces too. lol.

Wapanese have a tendency to mercilessly butcher the Japanese language, throwing around random words and phrases whilst completely ignorant to what they mean. For this reason, the term "Wapanese" can also refer to the language spoken by such sad individuals. Almost all Wapanese will pretend to know the Japanese language and will constantly go "I know Japanese!! Kawaii!!" when a Japanese or part-Japanese loli comes within 20 miles of the vicinity. Most Wapanese cannot actually sustain a conversation for more than five seconds with a Japanese person.

Omg, YES! If you want to speak Japanese, take a friggin class! That way you can say something other than "You stole my jewel shard you bastard!"
...no I don't watch/like Inuyasha, so sue me.

Usually saving up for their next trip to Japan, so they can buy a lolita dress that their fat will spill out of. Most likely will be worn with striped socks and Hot Topic $20 shoes.

THOSE...ugh. I hate those people, so not the business. Like really, how hard is it to buy clothes that FIT. Oh wait, that wouldn't be very Japanese like...*stab*


Listening to shitty J-rock bands nobody has ever heard of and believing that every male in japan is a hermaphroditic transvestite.


*Hugs AnCafe and makes puppy dog eyes*

Closely related to the rarer "Koreanophile".
Has an account on crunchyroll, an Jewtube wannabe site infested with Japanophiles and/or Koreanophiles.


Aaaah, now that sounds more like me.

Um..so I just died laughing at all the truth and hilarity at everything there. I...I think I might just love you...SUGOI!

XD

I listen to mostly Japanese music and watch a lot of Japanese tv shows, but I do so because I have been learning for 2 and half years and it's a great way to improve your language skills without really studying. Watch 2 animes aswell... but I don't think thats enough to make me a whatever you call it...

Maybe you should realize not everyone looks down on them? Stop being a condescending jackass simply because someone doesn't agree with your viewpoint.

Can you [and everyone else] please stop arguing with him ?
He has his own opinions too, and people don't have to listen to them, okay ?
So, stop getting on his case because of his opinion, just because it's different, even if it is rude.
The people don't have to listen to him.


and hopefully I'll stay in your heart

I'm barely on this :3

Just out of curiosity, does Excessum consider himself wapanese?? haha.

I wouldn't say that I'm full blown wapanese. I do maybe 20-30% of that stuff. It's not to say that I think I'm Asian. All my friends call me a wasian because I'm into stuff concerning Japan. I WOULD love to go to Japan and I AM going this summer. I don't like everything Japanese but there are aspects about the food, the culture, music, and clothing that I like.

But I do agree that there are some people that take it to the extreme and they should try and become more focused on their own country instead of being something they're not. However, I think it's a good thing for people to at least try and understand other cultures better (as long as they do so respectfully).

If you like something on that list, to each their own. It's rude to look down on something you don't agree with.
What I'm saying is, yeah you might think it's creepy how some people are so obsessed, but it's their interest. Let them be.


Videogame junkie extraordinaire. I often need help getting snapped back into reality, so bare with me.
