>People shamelessly calling themselves and other people weebs and everybody laughs about it
Am I just an old man? I distinctly remember "weaboo" meaning something negative once but now it's like "weeb this weeb that" everywhere. When did this happen? The most I remember was "weeb games" even a decade ago but it's almost out of hand now. Even youtubers are just calling themselves weebs now
Remember when nigger was a bad term but black people started to call themselves nigga?
Jackson Jackson
Weeaboo used to be the term you called people who worshipped Japan so much, that they thought their way of life, their culture and their games used to be above all others. People who think that they are more Japanese then actual Japanese people.
Now it's just dialuted shit to call someone for liking anything related to Japshit.
>good animes went on netflix. >normies found out some of it is actually good. >everyone became way more accepting. same as Yea Forums
Juan White
everyone here is a newfag. you were all japanophiles till moot turned on the motherfucking wordfilter and wordfiltered japanophile into weeaboo
WEEBS PICKED UP WEEABOO AS A /CHOICE/ FUCK OFF NEWFAG
Luke White
Insults turn into greetings as people get used to it
Retarded was a term invented by doctors to avoid calling their patients "mentally ill". Originally meant to imply that brain development was just slowed. Now, we use it however we want
Julian Young
fuck this is exactly that
Hudson Martinez

Dylan Gomez
he abandoned us but that doesn't stop you from being a newfaggot
Logan Gonzalez
Only niggers do that. No other slur was accepted as a greeting. Retard.
Benjamin Rivera
it's like nigga, it's only okay to say weeb if you are one
Jaxson Cox
who is moot?

It's low powerlevel meme. Cute anime girl is a waifu. Don't lewd the loli. And so on and so on.
Isaac Fisher
It was Wapanese dumbass
Jason Gray
it was both fucking retard
Jacob Allen
Both of them existed but weaboo spread further due to the comic
Comic was first though, it's how he picked the word to filter to
Landon Harris
Consider the following: "weeb" is to "weeaboo" what "normie" is to "normalfag". It's jut a fad, those children will grow up and move on to another thing one day. Be patient.
Isaiah Bell
I know, that's what I'm saying
Aiden Edwards
shut up weeb
Owen Evans
isnt it the same way otaku adopted the word otaku?
Ian Gutierrez
>animes >normies kill yourself retarded faggot
James Lewis
You're tellin' me, user. Open up instanigger and this is damn near the first thing I see. It's all so tiresome.
Sorry sweetheart but I've been on Yea Forums since before you were born.
Andrew White
holy shit this website is dead. please kys normfaggot scum
Christian Harris
>normfaggot lol trying to hard
Benjamin Turner
To me this whole thing is weird as a whole. In Brazil we grew up with anime. And not just "yeah we watched DBZ too" but in the sense that if you were poor and didn't have cable tv all you had to watch was Soap Operas and Anime, and Sentai shows. Yu Yu Hakusho, Captain Tsubasa, InuYasha, are all classics here. So even in highschool it wasn't weird for people to know and watch some anime. Aside from the most extremes cases, such as girls that wouldn't know anything that wasn't some shitty now trendy singer, a lot of people would actually know even some more ""underground"" shows, that you wouldn't see on TV, like Haruhi. Heck, on my first job I became friends with a guy because we started talking about Naruto Shippuden. He was the closest you can have of a blue-collar brazilian city redneck, and here he was talking about anime. Even terms like otaku were really focused and you only knew what it was and what it meant if you called yourself one. To be bullied for anime you had to try really hard to make people want to use that. It wasn't up until I started to visit english-speaking websites that I came across terms like "weeb" or this despise of anime. In fact, it wasn't until very recently that this started to leak into the brazilian websites and online communities.
You're probably thinking of Prussiaboos. My blood is 5% german, that means i'm practically from Danzig!!!
Christian Foster
Came here to say this in more words. Thank you, user, for the succinct clarification.
Grayson Williams
Don't you love having all of our yankee anthologies trickle down onto your nation Brazilfag? I recall some Brazilian Bolsenarofags yelling WHATSAPP FACEBOOK WHATSAP FACEBOOK
Brody Morgan

Hey retard, do you know why Yea Forums isn't full of Wojak/Pepe shitposting and eceleb threads? It's because your kind isn't welcome here. Fuck off to Yea Forums

Thomas Robinson
Your just spending to much time on discord, they aren't 4channers, they don't stem from the same culture us, they aren't an anonymous based social site everyone keeps names and track of friends and all the drama and social checks that ensue trying to not offend so it's only natural that self deprecation is more common in order to keep the atmosphere light, they're more prone to picking up on the local fandom scene and interpretation of anime instead of what originated here, taking things from the source in Japan and trying to copy that in the most accurate way possible while denouncing the culture that existed here in non-japan and the people in it, that fat purple haired whales who go to local cons and love ramune and gay men.
Here are no friends here in the normal sense, only the hivemind, but of course increasingly the outside world has seeped into even Yea Forums and the old nemesis of ours as become indistinguishable to our own ideology to many not capable of picking up on such subtle nuances, such is the fate of a internet the becomes increasingly homogenized.
It's so fucking disgusting normalshitters are everywhere now , dO yOu rEaD mAnGa ToO? tHe EnD oF eVangeLIOn jUst WoW!
Bentley Ross
fuck i hate 4channel so much
Jayden Jenkins
Prussia used to own the Polish territories, you can still see their architecture inside of the city of Gdansk, but it's also why Germans used to call the city Danzig, and why they claimed that it belonged to the German hemisphere.
Languages and words change there meanings over time.
Nolan Edwards
Sorry where in my post did I say anything about age? Retardation transcends age and so do cross board posting losers like you. Fuck off to Yea Forums, I'm sure there's a Wojak thread you can read and giggle at.
Leo Adams
it was once an insult but people didn't react to it and used it jokingly, so it became a regular nickname, it's happened throughout history
Liam Ward
Yes, thank you, I appreciate the history lesson for my joke that was based on exactly that historical conflict.
Christian Brown
lol some rosy cheeked little boy telling me to leave my board oh no you really told me user, here's me leaving --> oops jk still here, gonna cry?
Part of it's a puritanical thing. Childish things are suspect. For example, if my dad were a professional clown, 100% chance other kids would have bullied me and called him a pedo.
Bentley Thomas
A lot of people who are into anime call other people weebfags if they're way too embarrassingly into it, like buying wall scrolls or figs or such shit.
Colton Ramirez
except Yea Forums(nel) invented normie
Alexander Ramirez
redditards saw a word, didn't understand what it meant, saw that it was related to anime, and now it means pretty much nothing
Jose Williams
cringe
Isaiah Stewart
yikes
Levi Martinez
Not only it was Yea Forums, but saying things like that implies that using XD and such on Yea Forums is still acceptable because people did it 10 years ago. That's not how it works.
Henry Johnson
And there's the epitome of teenposting
Austin Diaz
there is literally nothing wrong with XD not arguing that the word normie is good, just saying there's nothing wrong with XD
Brandon Parker
>mfw i'm twice your age and I can make you feel actual emotional pain from just typing a single word it's so fun teasing newkids
Thomas Ward
anyone who gets triggered by "normie" is the newfag since Yea Forums(nel) been using that term since forever it's okay to call it /r9k/, but calling it facebook or reddit is simply a sign of newfaggery because this newfag grew up on facebook and saw pepe, so he thinks pepe originated from facebook
Brayden Sanders
Truly a paragon of maturity, even at 60 years old.
Dylan Garcia
I agree and get on with the times. But there's a part of me that's bitter/confused about it all. I used to be scorned for playing vidya and watching anime. People were calling me a fucking nerd. Now it's trendy. It's just... Maybe that's what cognitive dissonance feels like, I don't fucking know.
heh, someday you zoomers will settle down and realize how silly you look getting mad at the internet maybe even get a girlfriend too while you're at it
Wyatt Wright
Sure, but you just suck at spelling. >their*
Ryan Stewart
Nobody actually gets "triggered" by that word, it's just that saying it is absolute proof you don't belong on Yea Forums. Nothing else.
Ayden Morgan
normalfag irony. You can't be sincere and earnest about loving something anymore.
normalfag came before normie so normie is more acceptable since it's the new form of normalfag also you're a hyprocite for using new term "bait" instead of "troll" but using old term "normalfag" instead of "normie"
Asher Allen
>I-I'm not triggered, I only act like I've been severely emotionally traumatized and shriek like a hysterical girl when I see it
Jaxson Howard
>falling back to normalfag levels of shitposting If anything it looks like you're the triggered one here
Camden Ross
it's so easy everything i type drives you out of your mind!
Eli Lee
>instant reply Damn this is fun
Gabriel Cooper
what, are you that bad at typing?
Brody Ortiz
"normie" was created because faggots didn't want to hurt other faggots' feelings by saying fag, so using "normie" is being hypocritical
Chase Rogers
I mean they're triggered by using that word not by that word do you think "normie" refer to Yea Forums
>Your just spending to much time on discord OP here, I don't even know what that is. I mean, I 'know' what it is, I've just never actually bothered to look into it.
It's just that I'm seeing "weeb" on places that I wouldn't even think about like outside boards and even in entertainment articles about anime.
James Jenkins
that wasn't the cause though
Jaxson Price
I get that but we're talking about a word that was synonymous with "dumb loser"
David Jackson
It's honestly great for group chats and Yea Forums related shit. Glad that it's killing skype too.
Ian Green
Remember when you felt at home on Yea Forums, and could post with other like-minded users instead of witnessing the underage crossboarder plague inevitably destroy the board identity one post at a time?
Jayden Brown
literally no because your alternate timeline doesn't exist
Joseph Miller
it's just a reclaimed insult, similar to a previously stated word: nigger
Cameron Baker
same time when nerd/geek stopped being an insult and you could openly admit to liking video games without being bullied for the next week. you were born ~20 years too early, all your hobbies are fine to have nowadays.
Kevin Gutierrez
>doesn't know about the post timer >is constantly monitoring the thread to keep replying back whenever he gets a (You) Are you really that desperate? Have some more if you're so hungry. It's more that some board started saying "normie" for the fun of making it look cute, actual normalfags picked up on that version of the term because it doesn't have to do with a word they find insulting like "fag", and it spread like wildfire among normalfags. Using it or defending its usage are definite proof that someone shouldn't be here as you can see by all this wild teenposting.
>post timer >monitoring hahaha wow I didn't know you were honestly that bad at Yea Forums
Gabriel Ortiz
You're retarded.
Easton Flores
how does it feel to know that the word weeb has gone the way of the word gay?
Ian Phillips
You aren't precisely right, but you aren't far wrong either.
They are too shameless. This is abhorrent. An abhorrent display, this whole board.
Benjamin Garcia
>Using it or defending its usage are definite proof that someone shouldn't be here You are so steamed right now it's adorable. Imagine thinking your hurt feelings mattered at all!
>we're talking about a word that was synonymous with "dumb loser" It was always more specific about liking japanese stuff and being a dumb loser

There's that one graph showing the increase of mobile posters over time, the fappening and the elections had the biggest spikes.
Isaiah White
this is the laziness of the true triggerkin they can't actually put any creativity into their insults, they only come back with the ctrl-v "you must be triggered". it's just too transparent!
Julian Anderson
user, China or Russia are definitely not better. Don't get lost in complaining about "muh degeneracy". For all the West's faults we still have it far better than those two. We still have civil liberties and civil rights, freedom of the press. Our societies are still mostly Liberal, our courts are still mostly Just, and so on.
Ayden Bennett
Stuff like chanology, boxxy and gamergate All the really cringy stuff
It's the zoomer mindset. I was so put off by the fanbase growing up, I didn't go all in until my mid 20s when I finally figured I can just not associate with them or if I do, through nameless communication online.
Zachary Nguyen
There's been plenty of newfag influxes over the years, and the removal of naruto ban opened the floodgates. But the killing blow came when the site doubled in users (and made /pol/ the biggest board) around 2016, through banned subreddits and their users fleeing here. This combined with the death of self-moderation brought us to the current stage of cancer.
It's almost like you faggots invited it on yourself by constantly doing stupid shit.
Leo James
Anyone associated with chanology or even boxxy would be considered oldfags at this point. I was just reminded the other day that Panty and Stocking, which I thought of as a newfag influx, is nearly a decade old.
Isaiah Hill
Excuse you, I participated in none of that.

Cameron Hughes
Does anybody know where weeaboo actually came from? I know about the word filter, but did moot/a Yea Forums mod really pull such an influential word out of their ass? It must be weird for whoever made it up
Adrian Collins
Keep projecting.
Jason Hernandez
The zoomer/boomer meme isn't much better. At least it looks like normalfags are catching up on it so it might slowly die down in usage.
Charles Thomas
see
Jaxson Foster
But user, Yea Forums ARE the normalfags at this point. There's a reason every new meme that the crossboarders bring in is some sort of wojak or pepe variant.
Justin Gonzalez
I would take newfag who love anime over some subhuman oldfag who had never watched anime in the last 7 years but still stinking this place.
Ian Ross
>People shamelessly calling themselves and other people niggers and everybody laughs about it Am I just an old man? I distinctly remember "nigger" meaning something negative once but now it's like "nigger dis nigger dat" everywhere. When did this happen?

I see I see. Well good for that guy. He probably drew that in 10 minutes and the consequences were never the same
Adam Edwards
Yea Forums has become a turbopleb board. it started when they banned valkyrie drive, banning sadpanda and djt was the final nail in the coffin. this place is hot garbage now
meanwhile dragonball, boruto and wan piss threads on the first page full of shitters
Aaron Peterson
why do people hate crossboarders
Eli Evans
Lurk until you're no longer visibly ESL.
Caleb Adams
The funny thing is I guarantee you 80-90% of the people whining about newfags or crossboarders or "normies" or using the word "normie" have never had an actual interesting opinion worth sharing once in their lives. I'm dead serious on this. There are people who are just incapable of contributing anything except their own desperate virtual signaling for in-group acceptance. Case in point nearly this entire thread is nothing but a clumsy game of people trying to out-oldfag each other, to no effect whatsoever. I really can't imagine anyone who thinks this kind of nonsense is worthwhile to post or going to actually get them the "board purity" they want ever having a legitimate conversation about anime.
inb4 the obvious irony of me complaining about people complaining
Ayden Gutierrez
When I think about Yea Forums or /pol/ I'm always reminded of that quote that goes, "Any community that gets its laughs by pretending to be idiots will eventually be flooded by actual idiots who mistakenly believe that they're in good company". It's somewhat fitting, methinks. >But user, Yea Forums ARE the normalfags at this point. Not quite, really. When they hear about Yea Forums, most normalfags will go "eww, that weird hacker porn site?" or some shit.
Aaron Long
ESLs have better IQ than EOPs/americans
Oliver Fisher
Because they jump in from shit boards such as Yea Forums, Yea Forums, /pol/ or Yea Forums ,and proceed to shit the place up by being too new to differentiate between board cultures.
Lucas Miller
nice projection, faggot
Adrian Anderson
gaymz. vidya. moving pictures that you control.
Aaron Lee
Or perhaps we're just looking for some nostalgic discussion in a meta thread, since this is the only place to find that kind of company. Keep projecting and being asshurt, though.
Kayden Long
Because they bring their "native" board culture and it's usually shit. If you go on /an/ nobody is going to give you shit for it, and it's not like there's any reason to. If you're a Yea Forumstard, /r9k/, Yea Forumsor especially a /pol/luter, it fucking shows because those boards are rancid and so is the board culture. For a board like Yea Forums, it's death.
Jeremiah Flores
We have 24/7 generals about ultimate normalfag garbage like JoJo, DBZ, MHA, Boruto, Mobshit, HxH, Wan Piss. At this point Yea Forums is worse than reddit. Unless we ban normalfags/shounen shit nothing will change.
Justin Young
How does Yea Forums do it? Even with all it's flaws it still manages to maintain a level of quality far above the other media boards.
Asher Morris
Because they have nothing to contribute themselves so they need to point the finger at outsiders to demonstrate value with the group. "Everyone will accept me more if I focus their attention on someone else to be excluded for moral violations," their subconscious thinking goes. It's something you see a lot of on college campuses these days, everyone wants to be the "in" group so they trip over each other trying to demonize the outsiders, "fascists", "racists", etc. Whoever can point the finger fastest wins.
Nathaniel Murphy
It's kind of funny how you can enter a shounen general, and it's basically just a microcosm of Yea Forums, Yea Forums and /pol/
Aaron Sanders

Levi Scott
>Keep projecting and being asshurt, though. That doesn't even make sense in this context.
Nolan Collins
>have never had an actual interesting opinion worth sharing once in their lives. >resorts to irl insults your newfaggotry is showing
if you missed the point off this thread its about the quality of the threads and post that used to be better. like the ban of naruto threads scared away the newfags and actually encouraging lurking and watching stuff that wasnt on the front page of crynchyroll, shitting on streamfags(but I do admit its better now then it was 10years ago)
Zachary White
Shonen "console wars" are so common now.
Jonathan Long
What anime do you want to talk about? Please link to some of your posts in other threads, I'd like to judge the quality you bring to the board.
Blake Jones
>waaah stop liking what I don't like I don't even like shounenshit but that's pretty retarded, user.
Why are you projecting so hard to rationalize being told to fuck off?
Jason Scott
I'm inclined to agree desu. Even in this shitshow of a thread, there's still some semblance of the site's identity and it's nice, especially when you look at the ruins of Yea Forums Even /g/ is kind of shit now
Levi Lewis
While trying that hard you forgot how Yea Forums used to say nigger all the time without anyone minding it, then /pol/ started taking it too seriously and everything went to shit.
Camden James
?
Carson Cox
Describes me pretty well
Liam Peterson
How would you know, crossboarder?
Landon Perez
How new? Naruto was literally banned just a few years ago.
A slip-up of crossboarder terms in the middle of an otherwise decent post is not an issue at all, the problem is when posts are nothing but said crossboarder shit. Being able to notice the difference is apparently beyond your capabilities so that's why you projected so fucking hard.
Caleb Baker
>don't like other things besides anime or you aren't allowed in muh sekrit club
Angel Gonzalez
See? Normalfags thinks that generals are totally fine. Also, I forgot titans, another normalfag trash that should be banned.
Eli Parker
You could post the most low-quality, pointless garbage and you'd still be a more valuable poster than anyone frequenting a shounen general. One adds nothing, the other detracts from the board.
Elijah Ramirez
Should have spun off shounen to the 4channel, keep the real Yea Forums on Yea Forums desu. Advertisers would have been more pleased that way.
Leo Martinez
Naruto is the reason Bleach threads turned to shit, 100% unequivocally. Maybe some of you hate all shounenshit but really it's Naruto that fucking ruined everything. As soon as the narutards' heads exploded from their failed MC ships, they immediately all jumped into Bleach threads and tore them apart with forced shipping. You could tell it was them because they'd constantly, inevitably fall back to comparisons between Bleach characters and Naruto characters, and they'd use the "PANCAKES PANCAKES PANCAKES" tactic over and over, while spamming deviantart shit to falseflag.
Joseph Green
user, please link some of your posts. I need to verify your quality if you're going to stay on this board.
Nathan Foster
Every thread about anime on Yea Forums can be considered a general. I also despise shounenfags, but please try to understand who's your real enemy instead of generalizing everything.
>s-see? he doesn't agree with my extreme opinion so he MUST belong to the other extreme opinion's camp Poor arguing tactic user
Camden Bennett
I have been thinking for a while that shipping should either be bannable or have a dedicated board so we could tell them to go there
Gavin Martin
That's a meta post, I'd like to see you actually discussing anime.
Jordan Morales
Since you're too stupid to understand this, let me spell it out for you: nobody knows or actually cares if you go on other boards. What's important is that on Yea Forums, you act like you only use Yea Forums, and the same goes for other boards. I don't post anime on /an/ or Yea Forums unless it's directly related (anime animal and so on), and I don't bring Yea Forums terms here. If you go on /pol/, Yea Forums and so on, just leave that shit at the door when you come here. Nobody (except lunatics who might use the archive to "own" you) will check and nobody will care as long as you are decent.
shounenfags and Yea Forums are the enemy. I love MHA and titans myself, but we need to ban it because of mentally ill fanbase who spamming generals here non stop.
Chase Sanchez
>chanology >fappening >moot leaving And worst of all >Trump election I'm sure there were some others as well but those were the worst.
