Why the hell don't they stop that shite for the sake of their children? It's so cringe-worthy seeing these parents drop their kids off with Cat ears on their heads and Hot Topic t-shirts.

I think some of those parents are just grateful their kids aren't living the thug Life and know which bathroom to use.

You take what you can get.

You can't be a fan of anime and not know the type of person I'm talking about.

Scruffy likes anime, has a GF and a job, and goes to the gym regularly.

Not everyone who likes it is that weird.

Just had to google it myself. This world is a strange place

They let their kids explore their own interests and it's not a harmful thing, I'd say it's more of a sign of good parenting rather than bad to be honest.

I started watching DBZ in college. I worked with an older black guy (mid 30s) who was also a fan. Its not just kids.

How the frick does OP know what a weeaboo is? I'd say 90% of normal people wouldn't know What it is and the other 10% may be normal people, but they're a weeaboo so that's how they know.

OP, you must be a weeaboo.

When you have kids, you'll realize you can only steer, not force another human to do something.

I said in my post I wasn't a big fan. Translation: I don't particularly care for it one way or the other

Anime is very hit or miss for me. Miyazaki has created some of the greatest movies of all time, but some other anime is largely too lazy or too fricking weird for me to get into it. I am very rarely indifferent to an anime that I've seen.

Weeaboo

A non japanese person who basically denounces their own culture and calls themselves japanese. They try to learn japanese through the anime they watch and usually end up pronouncing it wrong and looking like a complete idiot.

KEEP IN MIND: that a non-japanese person can like the culture, watch anime, speak the language and RESPECT THE CULTURE, while still keeping in touch with there own. Which keeps them from being a Weeaboo, japanophile, ect.

Weeaboo's basically disrespect the culture and make complete asses of themselves
