even weeaboos need love
I still want to punch the guy I overheard on the ferry from Miyajima talking about how he needed at least five days in Akihabara. You can do it in like two fucking hours. Get out and go wander cool neighborhoods and eat some goddamn ramen.

How not to become a weeaboo? Visit somewhere in Japan other than Denden Town or Akihabara and try to act like a weeaboo. Problem solved.

If I visited Japan Kyoto castle would be first on my list. Am I just a higher class of weeb?!

too late :fbm
I bought an anime figure this weekend. :trumps:nerds
Yeah but that's Kyoto castle, not Nintendo Hq.
Akiba-weebs are terrifying.
Akiba-weebs are terrifying.
The crazy otaku-types in general are terrifying. I saw a Japanese guy casually walking behind a maid cafe worker, trying to take upskirt photos, one of the the last times I was there.

You should've flat-footed him.
Wait… wasn't his phone making a shutter noise?

The weeb factor comes in when foreigners seem to think they're Paul Atreides meeting the Fremen for the first time: "He will know their ways as if born to them!" when in actuality they're just being annoying, a kind of queef-shit shat-a-rock. I want everyone to come and enjoy their ride, but don't want them fooling themselves that they're like Admiral Perry and his black fleet.
A lot of people show up fed fully on a junk diet of manga and anime, and then overlay that knowledge over what they experience in Japan. Rather than being open to what’s actually happening around them, they’re accepting of only the most narrow overlap of what the culture is and what they expected.

Maybe it's because I was a dumb tourist, but when I was there we stayed in Yotsuya in Shinjuku, and it was great. Spent a lot of time in shimo-kitazawa and I think my fav plc in shinjuku was nonbei yakocho... Tl:dr spent a lot of time in neighbourhoods around Tokyo, but when we were bored we'd often go to this arcade we found in akihabara which, to me being fairly uninitiated had an anazing range of old arcade machines and you could smoke inside. Didn't find anything like that elsewhere.

Honestly sounded exactly like Kristen Schaal.

When I was a college freshman in '99, my Japanese class was filled with these people.
98% of them didn't make it past the first semester. :doge Too much interest in anime and cosplay and not enough in anything else. I wonder if anything has changed?
Is Nyanners well-known? I stumbled on some videos today and found some LOLZ.

Hah. I meant to post in the Japan thread, but this is incredibly fitting.
