Am I a weeabo?

I reading manga, light novels and watching anime occasionally. I don't immerse myself in the Japanese culture by cosplaying or pretending to be Japanese.I just like reading manga and anime. My friend calls me a weeabo because I like anime and manga. Personally I don't consider myself a weeabo but I'm not too sure. Am I a weeabo?

You are a human! Only small minds discriminate using other words.

I love the amount of times the spelling of the word changed in this thread
weaboo, weeb, weab, weeabo, weeaboo

[quote=Piana]Here's how I "rank" them.
Normal people - Watched a few anime / manga, enjoyed it, discussed it a little with other friends then move on
Otaku - Think that anime / manga > real life drama / movies / comic but refrain themselves from becoming weeaboo by not cosplaying / buying katanas / use Japanese words
Weeaboo - Think Japan > everything else, talks about Japan-related stuffs only, use anime character as their profile picture and pretending they come from Japan[/quote]

if i use a profile picture thats like the default picture but with an accessory from an anime i like, but i dont pretend to come from japan (how can you even do such a thing?) and i dont think japan is the best thing ever, am i good?

no you're not a weaboo. you're just interested in anime and stuff. everybody is into something. they're just calling you that because it's just joking around... haven't you ever called your friends an ahole or a beach or whatever?

Truth is you're not a weeb. A weeb thinks Japan is superior without any proof other than the fact that they like anime/manga
But everyone you know and everyone on basil will still call you a weeb because either they don't know better or its just funny.
Weeb.

Nah, otaku describes someone who is real into a certain hobby. Someone can be a train otaku for example.
Weeaboo is someone obsessed with Japanese culture and all things Japanese.

If you're just into reading manga and watching anime casually because you happen to enjoy it then you don't even need to label yourself as otaku. It's just like any other hobby.

you're a weeb if you call yourself an otaku unironically and think Japan is the greatest thing that has happened to the world

That perfectly describes me and my friends still call me 'otaku'.

Personally I'm not too fussed about it, mostly because they watch/read anime/manga themselves but don't know better and partly because I wouldn't mind. Being able to indulge in the hobby whilst being called a 'weeb' is totally
