does this make me a weeabo?
I was told that a weeabo is someone who is obsessed with Japan and anime, acts like their favorite Anime character, uses Japanese speech in their everyday lives, and constantly whines about their native country because It's not like Japan I was just wonder if the things I like and do make me a weeabo: - I don't cosplay, nor do i act like an anime character - I do read manga, but i do not go out to the bookstore to buy every manga off the shelves [in my life, i have only read 1 manga series, which is angel Diary] - I am learning Japanese, but it's not because I want to speak like an anime character or because i want to be Japanese, I am learning it because i wanted to try out a new language and The Japanese language is interesting and not too complicated - In my life time, i have only watched Sailor Moon, Inuyasha, Marmalade boy, and Ranma 1/2 [i don't watch them because they're from Japan, i watch them because they are interesting] - I think the Japanese culture is very interesting and I would like to visit Tokyo and Hiroshima [the only reason i want to visit japan is because from what friends have told me, Japan is a great place to visit, and they told me the food there is to die for] - The only Japanese word i use is "Ossan" because i dont like to say the word "dude", because dude sounds like something only a guy would say - I Love J-rock [The only Japanese thing I'm obsessed with] The only Bands I actually like from Japan is BUCK-TICK and Malice Mizer, I checked out other J-rock groups too, and a couple of their songs are my favorite, but Those 2 bands are the only 2 bands i really like from Japan. - I want to make my own band because BUCK-TICK inspired me and my friend to, and we thought it would be a good idea to travel to Japan with the band and meet BT in person. We aren't doing that just to make money off of Japan. we will be writing our songs in english and maybe, just to mix it up, put a bit of Japanese in there [the way t.A.T.u put Japanese in their song "Gomenasai"] - I love to draw Manga, but only as a hobby, not a job. I am making making my own comic book, the setting does take place in Japan, but the only reason i made it take place there is because that's where most of the Anime and manga series are coming from. I'm not making this comic book just so that i can go pro and make my own anime, i only do it for fun. - I am antisocial, but i don't devote every second of my life to Reading/watching manga/ anime. As a matter of fact, the only times i watch Manga/ anime are when i have free time, or when i want to find something fun to do or just when i want to watch something interesting - i don't dress like a "kawaii"japanese girl i dress like every girl does here in America. well, i dress a bit gothic, but that has nothing to do with the question - i write the Japanese version of my name "Alison" on all my things because in the case that something gets stolen, i can point out "You don't even know what that represents" and because i dont like my name, Alison sounds a bit average, i always wanted the name "Sophie" or "Charlotte" (too off topic!) overall, i do not use the Japanese version because i want to be japanese or have a japanese name - When i type messages to my friends, i use these emoticons: "^.^" "-_-" "XD xD" "Y.Y" "T^T" because i like them, they have nothing to do with me liking anime, i don't really like using ":)" ">:(" ":'(" or ":D". I use them sometimes, well, i use ":D" and ">:[" most of the time - I think Japan is cool, but i will always Love The USA - i spend alot of time on the comp, but not for watching Anime. Most of the time for FB and Yahoo Do these make me a weeabo? even tho I'm not obsessed with anime? [I do love J-rock tho] P.S.- Kurutta Taiyou is an Album by BUCK-TICK

Weaboo: is a Japanese term used to refer to people with obsessive interests, particularly anime, manga, and video games. I personally do not think you are a weaboo. A weaboo is someone like me, who is obsessed with anime, says things like Kawaii, Baka, and other japanese in conversations. I also cosplay, so I do consider myself a weaboo. Also, you don't really seem obsessed with anime or manga, even if you do draw that style. Learning Japanese doesn't mean your a weaboo, unless you learn it to watch animes in japanese.
