I use to work at a shop that sold some weeb shit, there were weebs in front of my counter talking about how excitied they were to go to Japan and follow Japanese school girls around and how awesome it'd be. Irl isn't anime, everyone in Japan finds otakus repulsive enough, if they see weebs they will think they're a disgrace to man. No chick is gonna be like omg~ a slimey nerd followed me home!

Had a friend in high school who bought cheap replicas of the hat and coat Asuka wears in Evangelion (or maybe one of the movies idk much about Eva) and she wore them to school almost every day. Imagine pic related but on a short fat white girl. We lived in a very small (virtually weeb-free) hick town in the midwest so people definitely took notice and commented about it openly (which she was completely oblivious to, as weebs often are). The negative attention it brought her and myself by association was mortifying. It's probably not that big a deal lol but it was super embarrassing at the time because I was really socially anxious.
Same friend along with more weebs would bring a boombox (an actual fuckin boombox, this was 2011) to school and blast various anime themes, which they would all perform dances to and sing on campus after school, right in the middle of all the people waiting for their rides. I didn't want to participate and was too nervous to leave my friends because they'd shame me for being self-conscious so I just awkwardly stood there holding the boombox.
Same "friend" also used to loudly talk about her ships which is pretty much par for the course with weebs. All her ships were gay because she was one of those fun "gay allies" who basically only cared about gay rights because of yaoi and she didn't give a shit about actual gay people as people. When she found out an exchange student was gay she would literally squee from afar over everything he did because "omg gays are so cuuuute!" When we actually properly met him she completely lost interest because he listened to metal and wasn't the slightest bit effeminate.
Also (this isn't really weeby but I think it stems from the same place of social idiocy), she and some other people in my friends group (all weebs) openly shipped two members of my school's rugby team who were both really popular. They were childhood friends because their dads were cousins-in-law or something and they did everything together. It ended up turning into a rumor that spread through most of the school that the dudes in question were actually in love and it got to the point that they got the "most likely to get married award". Since the town was conservative, a lot of people saw this as an insult more than a light-hearted joke and they were mocked for it and probably got questioned by their (religious) families. The two of them stopped hanging out senior year and as far as I know they moved to different cities after graduation and haven't spoken since. All because of some weebs ruining their reputation for the sake of IRL yaoi.
I'm sure there are stories I'm forgetting but that's as much as I remember for now.

I've never used Tumblr but I followed that one blog "Weaboo Stories" for years and I was heartbroken when it was taken down because so many of the stories resembled people I actually knew at the time. I'm really glad this thread was started because I'm ready to cringe again.
Someone who was in my class years ago was such a huge weeb and ticked every box. Every day she'd come to school wearing something anime related (Naruto headbands, necklaces with anime characters on them, cat ears and tail, wigs, pigtails with ribbons in them) and her school bag and books were covered in stickers and badges that said shit like "Kawaii", "Senpai" and "Yaoi". She was a self-proclaimed "otaku" and really proud of it. She'd often slip Japanese words into normal conversation and either pretend like it was an accident (because she's just so good at Japanese that she thinks completely in Japanese too, obviously) or she would pretend like she didn't know the English word for something ("Omg she's so tsundere! I mean…what's that in English again? Um…you know…how do you say it…?"). The hilarious thing was that she didn't even have the basic pronounciation down so she actually pronounced most words wrong ("aneeem", "deesooo", "kowai!", "same and oook"). And when I say she said things like that, I don't mean to people just within her friend circle. She'd say "gomensai" to other students and teachers if she bumped into them in the hall, or she'd say "oishii" while eating at lunch (which of course she kept in a two-tier lunch box and was eaten with chopsticks…even though she couldn't use them), or she'd say "yatta!" in class sometimes.
She campaigned for Japanese to be taught in the school even though we didn't have the money or resources to put on another class that was probably going to be really small. She eventually did get to do an exam in Japanese for her finals because she requested it but I've no idea how well she did on it. I went through a much quieter weeb phase when I was younger than her but even when I grew out of it I still attended cons. I'd often see her at them and it made me cringe to no end when she'd scream at me from across a hallway or do that ridiculous "glomping" shit that was really popular before cons cracked down on it. She was thirsty for literally every cosplayer that existed.
The last I heard of her was that she still hadn't grown out of her weeb phase. She thinks she's good enough at cosplay to have a cosplay page except now she's now gotten into all this Tumblr ddlg fakeboi sjw shit.

My best friend from high school and I were major weebs. It started in 7th grade and lasted until early college. She introduced me to yaoi and it went all downhill from there.
She was in love with the braid guy from Gundam Wing and I became obsessed with Sephiroth. We would share floppy disks with fanfics and yaoi pictures in class and eagerly go home and read/look at our smut. We'd write in secret, leik so random!! XD code to talk about our bishies and who was the uke/seme. We'd talk in the typical weeb lingo and do every school project on Japan. If anything had Japanese writing on it, I had to have it. I collected empty boxes, stickers, empty Ramune bottles, etc. My room always smelled a little weird, like mildew, chocolate pocky stank, and feverish dreams.
We shipped some cute guys in school and stalked them religiously. They never talked to each other or anything, they were just super kawaii and we could totally see them kissing. We would glomp our friends and break out the yaoi paddle on guys so they'd have to kiss (none of them ever did). I had a teacher confront me about the paddle and couldn't bring it anymore. I remember asking one of our stalkees if I could touch his hair and he let me. You're going to call bullshit on this but I swear I didn't wash my hand for like three days and my friend and I made up some retarded thing about my hand being blessed. I ended up washing it for some reason and we both did that embarrassing "NOOOO!!" on our knees during lunch. Pretty sure everyone hated us.
When we graduated and went our separate ways, we decided to get matching tattoos so we would always be together or something retarded like that. You know, like in the animes.
Now that I'm 30, it's really hard explaining my fucking sharigan Naruto tattoo to non-weebs. Like goddamn what were were thinking??? Thank god we were smart enough to put them in places normally covered, but when summer comes around sometimes people see and ask about it.

>>203168Dude, I've got even worse case of Naruto tattoos.
I started watching Naruto a few years ago, when I was almost eighteen. I got hooked on and when the episodes with akatsuki came, well, it did no good for my fangirling. For some reason I thought that Deidara and Sasori and their gang rings with kanji symbols on them were the coolest shit ever.
Then I remembered that I was planning to get my first tattoo as soon as I turn 18. And suddenly I decided that getting huge kanji symbols (that appeared on Deidara's and Sasori's rings) tattooed above my inner elbows on both of my arms was the perfect first tattoo idea and that the kanjis will make me look badass af.
Let's just say that nowadays I uncomfortably try to avoid taking off cardigans, sweaters or any other piece of clothing that would uncover these seals of stupidity. I can't even describe the cringe in the summer when walk around in the downtown of my city with my arms uncovered and a crowd of asian tourists appears. Oh, also, sometimes I get tiny anxiety attacks that one day I won't be able to get some job because of them. And for some reason I am not comfortable yet with the idea of removing them. Fuck.

at all but the point is no thing from fandoms or even music/movies, text of any kind. You may still wish you had blank skin but if you get a classic theme and its well done you most likely won't regret the choice itself.

I never went through an intense weeb phase because I was always kind of a reserved kid but during 7th grade I did wear the same outfit every day because I believed it was my "anime uniform". You know how characters in animes always wear the same clothes every day. Years later when I was well over the whole thing someone told me that I always reeked of sweat because I wore that same fucking shirt every day. Yikes.

Seriously though, I just googled them and they actually seem okay to me, it's just a random design to those who don't know the significance. The kanji are kind of random, meaning like "blue" and "sphere" or something, but people could assume it's a personal significance (which technically it is).

I went to school with a weeb, and we lived in the same dorm. He was an autist and extremely christian.
He was super touchy and always talking about some manga or anime. He even had a fucking manga bible. I made friends with him before I found out he was a weirdo, so this one time I let him use my laptop because he didn't have one. He wanted to play some weeb game he had on his flash drive.
Fast forward a week. I had left my door open, because my room was next to the kitchen where I was making some lunch and it was a weekend so most people were out. When I came back to my room, I found the weeb on my laptop playing his stupid ass game. I got super mad and told him to gtfo, and he seriously thought that I got mad because I was jealous of the game characters, because they were so cute and sexy and kawaii and totally superior to white girls.
We went to a field trip to our capital city, and there were some asian tourists, and I'm 100% sure I saw him having a boner when he was looking at them. He talked about the girl tourists for fucking weeks, and he was super sure they were Japanese and their language was so kawaii, and he got mad when we told him that they were actually Chinese. One would think that a weeaboo could differentiate japanese and chinese language, but apparently not.
As I previously mentioned, he was a hardcore christian. He was also adamant about getting a
Japanese christian virgin girlfriend. I told him that there is no way that he's going to get one, like who is he kidding? He wasn't even good looking, he smelt and was a total idiot. He got really mad and told me again that I'm just jealous because I'm not a virgin and I could never be as cute and sexy as a Japanese girl and I'm going to hell.
My roommate was into Japan and Japanese culture and shit (not in a weeaboo way, but she liked her manga and anime and appreciated Japanese history and art and that stuff). The autistic weeb had a super hard-on for her, maybe because she was the closest thing to a Japanese girl there (she was white). She was super disgusted with him, but he was too autistic to see it, so he was super inappropriate to her and made her cry quite many times. We always had to check to see if we could go out of our room, since he would just jump at us from behind a corner and harass us if we weren't careful. Fortunately we had a bathroom, so we once spent a weekend not going out even once.
He quit school after 3 months, but I'm pretty sure he got kicked out because he was very aggressive with his christian beliefs and everyone hated him. He was always touching me, and even suggested to me that we should have anal sex, because apparently you can't lose your virginity if you only do anal. Jesus. I still hate him, and it has already been 6 years. Fucking nasty weirdo.

I used to live in San Francisco, and one year on my birthday my weeb friend said she would take me to Japantown for dinner. It wasn't as bad as it could have been, she could have actually made a scene or harassed someone, but when I arrived at the restaurant she was there wearing this Halloween costume complete with the wig. I stayed a good 10 feet behind her the entire time when we went to the mall.

>>233479Lol I had this one.
I was never weeb enough to wear it out in public but for like two Halloweens in a row I was the envy of my weeb circle because it was very hard in our rural city to find a "kimono" lol. This was a time before tumblr would have screeched at me for being a white appropriator.

I was introduced into a new friend group in year 8, they were all super nice but most of them were pretty weeb-like, but not too extreme, most of them just talked about their favourite anime or characters. But these two girls, oh my lord lmao - I was talking to one about an anime show that I watched for fun, then she proceeded to fangirl about a ship in the show and legit whipped out her phone and showed me a picture of her OWN fan art of them naked and fucking. I just stared at it with no idea what to say, I think I just nodded and went mmhmm while she kept asking me if I liked it. She showed me some of her other fan art too, most of them all yaoi - oh yeah, they were all yaoi fans and shippers. The second girl was the worst though, and we all made fun of her because she was so genuinely unstable - she put "Yuki" in her Facebook name and lied about taking katana and karate lessons, and she once told us she was going to japan for the holidays to watch some idol sing in concert lmao. She also """drew""" some fan art which was clearly stolen content from the internet, just traced and coloured differently, and talked extensively about her stupid Attack on Titan ships and merchandise and being outright embarrassing. Needless to say I haven't talked to any of them in a while.

>>237284Liking anime and occasionally cosplaying doesn't make you a weeb, it makes you an anime fan.
Fetishizing japanese culture, pretending to know everything about japan and having nothing else except for anime in your life makes you a weeb.

>>237304God I knew so many people online who pretended to have Japanese bfs or gfs. It was entirely ridiculous.
Even 12 years ago it was pretty easy to take pictures and people would do so and upload them online, but these idiots never had pictures together.
One of them said his gf was Japanese, sent pictures and she probably was a gravia or porn model, because the production value was just crazy. He also said that his imaginary gf's brother had taken the photos as if anyone would take naked pictures of his sister lol
Another one talked to me about his ex-gf who was totally Japanese and fluent in 4 languages and worked for the UNO or some such shit, but mysteriously never managed to produce any kind of evidence.
And another one yet claimed his bf was a Japanese guy, but he had to go back to Japan. No pictures here either, just elaborate stories.
It's like the Canadian girlfriend, just for weebs.

>>237212wow, the second girl you talked about reminds me a lot of a girl I knew in high school, she put a japanese name in her facebook account and pretended she was like a quarter japanese. she also said she took katana lessons and had a katana collection lol, like yeah right, they're just gonna give a huge fucking sharp sword to a young person like it's a toy.
I remember when there were japanese exchange students visiting our school for a while. when they arrived all the weebs raced to the group and started gushing and awwwing about how cute they looked in their uniforms and how awesome they were etc etc. it was honestly real creepy, i wouldn't blame the students for getting weirded out.

>>237461>>237462Shes a weeb too, quiet and awkward, I still think she was hoodwinked but what do I know. but was still shocked given hes 20+ years older than her. Suffice to say her family, especially her dad wasn't happy about it, the wedding was VERY awkward, there was no speech, and his "younger" brother (and by younger I mean was still 20+years older than me) was trying to sleep with me that night (thankfully the brides sister got me out of there) was paranoid that night made sure all the doors to my room was locked. I haven't been into anime as much-and not to sound horrible its because I dont want to turn out like them. I dont get on with her husband and thinks she deserves better. We had a bit of an argument because apparently he complained to her that I dont like him, yet the reason I dont like him is because he's pushing 50 and acts like a fucking 12yr old, is fucking rude, doesn't say hi when you say hi to him etc. When my mum made him a dish and asked him if he liked it, he said "well i'm eating it arn't i?" I mean, maybe some people will say "well duh" and my friend said "oh he never eats things he doesnt like" but I just thought it was rude given this was the first time we met him and my mum cooked for him. Hes literally a man child.
Saged for off topic.

>>238766>pita ten Mah nigga. I used to be obsessed with it as well, also made a bunny and tried to use it with a hairpin. Fortunately I sucked too much at crafting so it didn't stay on and I never wore it out. I didn't know how to obtain a cosplay either (this was long before ebay was a thing for me) so thankfully the most embarrassing thing I did was go through a chuuni phase when I'd tell my friends I "flied with her".
Misha is still my waifu though, this is my current cellphone home screen. Used to have a few posters of her on my apartment walls too. No regrets.

>>238790>>238766omg completely off topic but I'm so surprised to see anyone remember Koge-Donbo's work. MYL and other websites never talk about them so I feel so alone in reminiscencing :'(
Anyone know why Koge-Donbo never publishes new series anymore? Back in the 2000's she had so much influence… Tiny snow fairy sugar, pita-ten, kamichama karin, game designs…etc
Now nobody knows of her.
