Weebos, The Next Stage Of Anime Otaku Evolution?

Today was an very interesting day, I figured today why not let others decide what they wanna read. So i posted on the community pages and a few replied back. One in particular wanted me too write about Weeaboo. That word did not compute to me, i have never ever heard of that word in my life. Determined i decided to see this to the end and did some research.

Thanks to a number of sources * Cough Urban Dictionary Cough*  I am able to put define Weeaboo in a short words.

Weeaboo

Originated from the word  Wapanese used to describe foreign individuals who have adopted and swear by the code of Japanese culture. Learning the Japanese language, following trends such as hairstyles/clothing, calling your parents ka-chan  and Oto-san are a just a couple of ones i could name on the top of my head. Many are self proclaimed and never even been to Japan

So how does one become a Weeaboo? Well for a good amount of people Anime seem like a gateway to this "lifestyle" Slice of life Animes can be the many suspect because of its large viewing of how modern Japanese culture is traditionally portrayed.

Now don't confuse Weeaboo with Otaku although they share some similarities they are the same.

Otaku

A Japanese term for people with obsessive interest. Anime and Manga are the most common entities linked to the word because of it's popularity in Japan. Many people don't realize that anything you do can be Otaku based. Such as gaming Otaku, fishing Otaku  and bird watching otaku. Otaku isn't just tied down to just Anime and Manga, though chances are when you proclaim yourself as a Otaku you're a anime loving person. One becomes a Otaku when your passion for whatever your interest is becomes a lifestyle. 

Difference 

Now what is the difference you may ask? Are the not just both with obsessive interest ?

No young grasshopper there are some key difference that set them apart! 

Weeaboos love everything about Japan, while most Otakus just love in thing in particular. 

Weeaboos act like they live in Japan, Otakus on the other hand can love anime but still act western. 

Weeboos may celebrate Japanese holidays and seasonal rituals such as cheery blossom festivals, while not in actually in japan!.  

Otakus they cosplay to show there support for there favorite shows and characters which is most likely once or twice a year.   

Conclusion

I can go on and on but that should give you clue to my knowledge about Weeaboos

As you can tell the transition from a Anime/manga loving Otaku to a Weeaboo doesn't seem that far and you can jump from one end of the secptrum to the next in a flash. 

Well that ends my topic
