I was in a really..ehm...good "friendship" with a koreaboo last winter.
She used to say that our country (Italy) was shit and that South Korea was soooo much better.
When I pointed out the suicide rate and the ancient practice of caning the shit out of students of her Wonderland, she raged.
Also, she did not like jer country but did not vote also, cause "hurrdurr politicians are thieves, nothing will change, politics are boring derp derp".
She had/has no diploma and her dream is to become a k-pop idol.
Needless to say that she grasped the first asian cock she found appealing and I got #TYCED
 
I had a weeaboo roommate one year in college. She'd wear cosplays and those shitty Halloween costume looking maid dresses and Hot Topic Lolita dresses around campus, sometimes with her face made up like Jack Skellington. She'd yell "TADAIMAAAA!" when she came back to the dorm after classes every day, squeal "kawaiiii!" and shit like that.

Onto weirder stuff: she liked to declare random people her 'senpai' and then be creepy and stalkerish toward them. Since my social circle was a nerdy bunch a lot of my friends fell victim to this. She organized some kind of weird fan club for an attractive male friend of mine and they'd squeal whenever he walked by and harrass him online. Another friend became a 'senpai' because she looked like John Egbert from Homestuck. At one point roommate came up to me and asked me where another friend of mine lived, because roommate wanted to invite her to a 'tea party'. I told her what dorm friend lived in not thinking much of it. I later learned from friend that roommate and her friend got into her dorm while she was sleeping and banged on her bedroom door until she woke up, and that apparently this behavior from roommate toward her had been going on for a while.

Roommate mentioned offhand a few times that her grades weren't that great and that she'd really dropped the ball the semester before. I took a storyboarding class with her the following semester and I saw why. About a third of the time she was absent, when she did show up she'd sit there doodling anime and sonic characters in her sketchbook all class instead of doing her work (or looking at tumblr or anime stuff on the computer), and she never had a finished project on critique days.

Apparently it was hard for her to come up with ideas. The professor would chew her out for not trying and then she'd just sit there acting pitiful staring at a blank page for the rest of class. At one point the professor tried to help her out, told her to do something related to her hobbies. He tried to talk to her about anime and she ended up explaining the entire plot of Gurren Lagann to him. He told her to take the themes she found inspiring in Gurren Lagann and work from those. I don't think that worked either. The one project I do remember her having somewhat finished was a storyboard for a PSA about safety at anime conventions starring some cutesy mascot Clefairy looking thing.

It was kind of sad that she was 20 and still doing this stuff, and her friends she always brought over (also weeaboos) were really fucking annoying, but roommate herself was actually kind of a sweet girl aside from the sperginess. I think her friends enabled a lot of the worse stuff she did like the stalking (her best friend in particular set off major 'crazy bitch' red flags) and apparently she had a pretty messed up home life too. I actually felt kind of bad for her. :(
 
You know I don't really understand why lot's of Spergs get into the Anime an by extension Japan is best thing at all.

To me Anime just looks basic an the kinda thing you can bang out fast for kids (with a few exceptions, like Akira an Perfect Blue) an the stories make little sense then again I say that and I am a sci-fi fan (40k Sperg too) but it just seems really basic easy to copy art with RAH and cute non nonsensical characters I can understand teen's being into it an kids as they seem to be the main market for the animation especially in the west but carrying it on past the age of 16 / 18 I just don't get it.

What I mean is Japan has a lot of things to admire, Work ethic, Engineering an Design skill's but it's animation and outsider cultures are not them from what I have read online Anime as a adult is considered weird for adults in japan.

If any one can rationally explain this I am all ears as I am at a loss to understand it.
 
When I was studying at university I knew an attractive but rather annoying girl who was, among all things, into HAMTARO.

Hamtaro as in "cutesy stories about retarded hamsters aimed at preschool children". This girl was ~22 years old, a student of biology, and she sperged out about the Japanese answer to Teletubbies. Now, Bronies don't look so terrible anymore, right? :)

She actually owned a number of Hamtaro dolls which she would carry around with her. While sitting in a fast food restaurant (alone!) she'd put them on the table, talk to them, act like feeding them. A few guys who sat nearby observed this and made fun of it. She later told me: "These men are horribly mean and sexist! How dare they make fun of a girl because she likes Hamtaro?"

In that case I think you ran into a Wild proto SJW with mental health problems, I would say that she need's help more than anything.
And if that's what Japan has to answer the Stoner bait that is the Teletubbies, my god.... then again Hamsters are selling more as first time pets...

Well, in Japan otaku are looked down upon as abnormal. They are seen as people who are unable to function in society and who escape into fantasy worlds.

The problem starts when there's anime and manga that cater to otaku. Excessive fanservice, references to other popular anime and otaku protagonists that are romanticized. It distorts the view. Instead of being outcasts of society, they are quirky eccentrics that worm their way into the hearts of others. Someone on sentai confessions said it best with the comparison between the two.

That and you have to remember that there is a lot of anime that airs in adult timeslots so that kids don't watch. That's something that's never given consideration when it comes to western fans. For example: Sword Arts Online? That series people seem to really be into lately? Airs after midnight and aimed at otaku.

Granted, anime does seem to have more of a focus on storytelling than most of the shows we had growing up. So people get caught up in saying anime is more mature than cartoons because of that difference, especially when otaku-pandering anime blurs the line. It's a cultural difference that paints the wrong picture.

BTW, got to love that work ethic

Since most of these people aren't mature enough to be married in real life, they have no idea how a husband and wife should act towards each other, and treat them like girlfriends.

Well how the hell should you treat your wife if not like your girlfriend? There's nothing but a slip of paper seperating the two.

And on a different note, why do so many people like Yui anyway? Mio-chan is way cuter!

Perhaps I phrased it wrong. They're not mature enough for a real romantic relationship where you're dealing with an actual human, so they project their fantasies about being in love on an inanimate object that can't (and won't) fight back.

A bit off topic but it's funny you should mention SAO as an otaku anime because there's a character in one of the novels or the manga (can't remember which) who's a parody of stereotypical otaku sand gamers named AAAAA. AAAAA is a chubby, greasy neckbeard who loves the fact that he's trapped in SAO because he admits he was just gonna play it non stop anyways and it would give him a chance to show off his skill. He also obsessively stalks one of the underaged main characters and ends up dying in a very non dramatic way in one of the first dungeons.

And now I want to read that manga.

It's interesting that those waifu videos originated as a joke, because most of the ones I've seen seem like srs business. I mean, these are guys who don't just show a cake and a picture of their waifu on their computer screens, they have the body pillows and all that other disturbing shit too.
 
In a weird way, the thing that fascinates me about the waifu phenomenon is that their suitors (is that the right term?) usually remove all interesting characteristics from the waifu in order to get some kind of human hugbox (or they latch on to a character who's already like that). They don't usually bother to understand the character beyond the most superficial level.

That's the vibe I've been getting anyway.

Actually, you nailed it 100%...

Samus is too manly to be a good female character? What?

Reminds me when they ruined Samus in Metroid: Other M, so they could pander to Japanese audiences.
so I guess Japanese nerds are to insecure to be around a 6'3 aryan space bounty hunter, so they had to make her a 5'5 doormat who cries about THE BABY.
 
Actually, now that I think about it, there was one time I met a weeb.
I was 14, and living with my parents and brother. My brother was a fan of 80s anime like Outlaw Star, Trigun, all that good stuff. Well, he had recently started getting me into it after I asked about Dragon Ball. It was pretty alright. It's actually kind of the reason I'm a huge stickler on literature, because he taught me how to identify cliches and whatnot.

So, fast forward a month. I'm thinking of myself as a bit of an expert on Shonen (haha, no) and decide to head to the local library to see if there was some manga I'd be interested in. I scoured the shelves, and came upon the manga section. I had just popped open the first volume of Rurouni Kenshin when he appeared seemingly out of nowhere.

He was stick-thin and had the longest hair I'd ever seen on a guy at that point. His face was pretty average, but he had a fading black eye. He had on a Naruto shirt.

So, this guy (I never got his name. I'll call him Stick.) puts on a literal O face and starts yammering at lightspeed about how I'm the only person he's seen in that section and how cool it is and if I like One Piece and Naruto and YADDA YADDA.

Now I, being a sensitive and calm guy, tell him to shut his mouth and talk like a normal person. Dude looks at me like I shot him and just asks "Who's your favorite Naruto character?" I politely told him that I didn't like Naruto, and preferred older series'. That set him off.

He gets red and starts screaming at me about my taste. He literally shouts and I quote:

"OLD ONES AREN'T GOOD ANYMORE NONE OF THEM HAVE COOL NINJA STUFF OR FRIENDSHIP OR ROMANCE"

By this point, a few librarians had stepped over and were starting to ask him where his parents were, etc. He wasn't having any of that. He continued to bite my head off for 15 MINUTES until his dad finally came and grabbed him. But Stick wouldn't relent, no-sir. While in the throes of his fathers arms, the dude punches me in the chest. I take a few steps back, and stare at him. My mind is literally blank at that point, so I'm just nonreactive. That just makes Stick angrier.
"WHATS WRONG IDIOT TOO DUMB TO FEEL IT"

Finally his father smacks him in the mouth and drags him off. The librarians gave me a few free books to keep my mouth shut about it, and I never saw Stick again. I legitimately hope I never run into someone like that again.
