How do so many Western kids (and manchildren) end up with such an extreme over-the-top obsession with Japanese culture? Watching nothing but anime, spending every cent of disposable money on figurines and body pillows, randomly inserting Japanese words into conversation, compulsively browsing and posting loli shit online...

Its so sad and cringeworthy to witness cases like these. Where did they go wrong?

This brings up something that's been bothering me at work. We hired this girl, real nice girl, good at her job, like 20 years old. She's like 1/6th Korean and the rest large, white American girl. She's just completely obsessed with the culture, she writes stuff on her paperwork in Korean.

I overheard her talking to a customer the other day, which the lady was clearly Asian with a thick accent. She asked her what her heritage was, and she said she was Korean, and the girl chimes back in excited "Oh me too!" and the woman looked so confused, like why is this chubby American girl claiming she's Korean? She seemed borderline insulted and kind of just said "Ohhhh" and trailed off and then just left.

She wears a different K-Pop shirt to work every day, and says different phrases in Korean all the time. It's honestly starting to annoy the piss out of me.

I'm like 10% Irish, and I don't go to every bro with a red beard and be like "Hey, are you Irish? ME TOO!"

IDK about most of that stuff but the animes are pretty fire. Only in Japan will you get characters like Garou from OPM and Hisoka from H X H, who are intriguing to say the last.

How is Garou intriguing he's just an edgelord

He brings up some fundamental issues with the concepts of superhero teams and how villains are treated in child oriented media. While he takes it to stupid levels of extreme, it reminds me of dumb conversations in Clerks. It makes him fun.

He does also point to the idea that complex villains or even Anti-heroes are more interesting to learn about and watch than your usual boring good guy bad guy types.

see:

The Joker

Kain in Legacy of Kain

JOJO villains

Anime has perfected the art of base appeal, it can be condensed wish fulfillment. Hell, that's what isekai is. Corn syrup. McDonalds.

I loved Bastard as a kid, but when I found it again as an adult, it was just embarrassing to read through, like reading through a pubescent high schooler's notebook scribbles.

Lmao, thats so embarrassing even to just witness someone like that. Theyre so infatuated with the culture that they base every part of their existence around it and bring it up all the time, whether appropriate or not.

Sort of reminds me how @TheBlueMonk_ was claiming he was Korean because he had a whole 2% Korean DNA on one of those tests. Hed also make multiple KPOP topics a day, it was just so utterly sad.

Also hes voiced by Hikaru Midorikawa which automatically makes him good. Midorikawa has such a smooth voice that I would love to have it. Id make girls wet with that voice.

My favorite would have to be Jouji Nakata, his deep voice for Hellsing's Alucard is legendary.

Whats more hilarious and confusing to me is the overlap of weebiness and Brony shit with Alt Rightology. Mostly in dudes.

Yeah he's cool too. I like Norio Wakamoto as well. He's got such a sick villain voice.

Thats true, there does seem to be a LOT of overlap between those groups. I can understand the correlation between bronies and weebs a bit since they both focus on niche animated shows, but the link to the alt right is puzzling. Those groups strongly overlap with incels as well
