WHAT DOES WEEB MEAN? IN TERMS OF 'JARGON' OR 'SLANG' ON THE INTERNET THE WORD WEEB RUNS, WHICH SERVES TO POINT TO A GROUP OF PEOPLE WITH VERY SPECIFIC TASTES 

Thanks to the explosion of anime, manga, even Japanese music itself during the 90s, today it is very common to hear the term weeb. For the past 10 years, this word has been used to denote a very specific group of people. Is it disrespectful? Yes.

Now, what does weeb mean? Does it have something to do with weeaboo ? in this article we will be explaining the meaning of a weeb, so you can decide if you are one.

What Does Weeb Mean? Are You One?

Basically, weeb is a term used to describe those people who are not from Japan but are clearly obsessed with the culture of the land of the rising sun. We could even say that they are so nailed that they wish they had that nationality, customs, and customs.

Over time, weeb became the diminutive of weeaboo, a term that was first used on 4chan as an insult against fans of Japanese culture. The word began to gain strength in 2010 and, to date, it is part of the Urban Internet dictionary.


' I REALLY LIKE ANIME, MANGA, J-ROCK AND FOR EVERYTHING I SAY ONIICHAN, AM I ALREADY A WEEABOO? '

The weeaboos are mainly identified as being obsessives everything that has to do with Japan, perhaps a sickening and disturbing degree to third parties. That's why they called them that.

This is not to say that you or your friends who like anime, cosplay, and play video games are weebs. Any hobby carried to excess is going to bring negative consequences taken advantage of by third parties.

On the other hand, the term weeb may not be so negative when used beyond 4chan and some sites with toxic communities. It is not an honorary title, but it works to show a passion for Japan with some courage.


WHAT IS IT TO BE A WEEB?

As we mentioned, everything in excess is negative. There is nothing wrong with buying plastic figures, pillows that measure more than 1.50 and have the print of an anime character. The point is that maybe that leads to social distancing and the lack of being able to talk about other issues that have nothing to do with Japan.

The same goes for sports fans who dig too deep into their hobby - in the long run, they are just as judged as their Weebs counterparts.

The downside of all this is that ultimately it is prejudice on the part of many people.
