NERDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It's easy to get labeled. Exactly how I was wrong in describing you just now others can do the same. I still think it's a risky career choice, though.
Many are concerned with the anime industry dying and stuff like that...
I'll continue this tomorrow. I'm very tired and I don't want to mess up again like I did twice already.
I'd say you seem more like just a Touhou addict rather than an otaku or weeaboo.
Of course, my opinions and thoughts are usually horribly wrong, so oh well.
As I understand it, an otaku is a geek for a particular thingI always (read:started with it a year ago) defined nerd/geek as someone who spends a considerable amount of time and/or effort in a certain (non-vital) thing and not necessarily games or stuff like that.
Mr S: Why the hell would you actively seek to label yourself? You're you, so just be you. :/
WTF did you guys get the impression that I was actively seeking to label myself such. I was just curious if that's people think me as. I mean when a girl asks "am I fat"... It's not because she wants to be....you're fat?

Course of a girl's fat, I'll accept her anyway. Fat chicks need love too~
No they don't. Fat people have no souls.If they lose their fat, they will be granted a soul.
I don't label people, nor do I label myself...
Thus I am a human being.

a photo of a sad, lonely man giving his pillow a milkshake.
Are you suggesting he should be bogarting that milkshake? You a dick.
If you call yourself an otaku and you're proud of it you're a weeaboo BV
In case it wasn't obvious I don't really consider myself either since I'm not into anime but what I mean is I wonder if I can talk to a friend and say "oh you should try this Japanese ____" Without automatically being ignored if they think I'm a weeaboo or something. If it was extreme they'd tell me of course but..Well, you see I'm trying to get my friends hooked on Touhou >=P. And so far I've failed with each and every attempt. I don't harass the same person either. It makes me wonder if trying to show them a doujin song I think they might like or game is being sullied by the possible image that I'm an otaku to them or whatever.
I agree with Matsuri and TSO.
Why would you really care about your label? Both of them suck:
Otaku: Smelly social shutin with those unusual love pillows. In the Western world, annoying smelly teenagers that are like OMG lol so randum XDDDDDDDDDD!!
Weeabo(o?): Seems to mostly be a Western thing. Some pale-as-a-ghost social shutin that worships GLORIOUS NIPPON DESU.
I imagine that neither of them are all that close to the truth regardless of what a person declares themselves to be.

Weeaboo is indeed an entirely Western thing. I believe the Japanese counterpart is "twinkie."
Whoa what. I've never heard this before. It's like a Western Japanophile, but reversed? :/
You know, yellow on the outside, white on the inside. A twinkie. In English, it's slang for an Asian who doesn't match up with Asian stereotypes, i.e., he's bad at math.

I heard from a friend who studied abroad in Japan that over there they use it for people who try to act like foreigners, but I think he might have just been yanking my chain.We call those bananas over here... I never heard Twinkie before =X

She can't even drink it. He's just taunting her like, "Whatsa matter? Don't you want the milkshake? Oh, that's right - you're a pillow, you can't drink it. Too bad, it's pretty good. M-mm." And I'm the dick?

Which is why I am baffled why the western visual arts culture took it as a term of endearment.
holy shit is that four bowls of sesame pork

"Making love all day sure works up an appetite."
how the hell does a pillow eat anyways
What we have here is a photo of a weeaboo, and a photo of a sad, lonely man giving his pillow a milkshake.
Moe is easy to comprehend; it's Lenny and Carl I don't get.
people who cannot comprehend "moe"

If we waste anymore time on "weeaboo," we'll be bankrupt by the end of the month!
