There's more than one at my college. They are not Fucking Japanese, and i hate it when they try to be.

Sekto Springs 04-20-2010 04:08 PM

Why would you wanna be japanese? Is having a tiny penis exciting?

I wouldn't mind weaboos as much if most of them weren't pocky-gobbling douchebags that strut about with a smug sense of cultural superiority. Guess what, being privy to giant robots, j-pop, and manga doesn't make you "cultured". That's not culture, its fucking novelty. A select few of them actually bother to learn the language and history, but their motivations usually originate from being able to watch anime without subtitles to impress their friends or some other BS.

However, I realize the contradiction in my statement as this is what defines a weaboo; their negative traits. I certainly wouldn't call an expert historian or linguist who is erudite in japanese culture a weaboo.

One of the reasons I just couldn't go on going to that mange/japanese/thingy club anymore.... Im in no way that interested in Japan, and its culture. I think some of the stuff originating from it is awesome, but the people there are mostly hyperactive girls who act like anime-characters and say random japanese words, and boys who just follow them around, acting like submissive maids.

The older people were ok though. They are mostly nerds with intelligence in their brains, but that kinda broke after one of them really offended me and made me hate the place even more.

After a while I even noticed im not as interested in Japanese stuff as I thought I was. There are certain things I like, but Id rather put my own personal touch on them.

I'm in a dry enough mood to actually post my opinions here.

People who drive down the road playing loud music with the windows wound down. You're not impressing anyone.

People who smoke anywhere that forces non-smokers to breathe their smoke (including while walking down the street).

Not homosexuals themselves, but Christians who say the Bible doesn't say homosexuality is a sin, or say that the Bible does say the above, but God has changed his mind about it purely because we want it to be ok.

In fact, basically any part of the Church that ignores Biblical teaching. It's like those guys who buy flatpacked furniture, throw away the instructions straight away and wonder why none of it held together.

Carrying on from that, anyone who blames another person, company or institution for any bad thing they did themselves.

People who condemn the government for messing up when to be frankly honest, what could they possibly do better? If a politician deliberately or knowingly messes up then fine, but it's not right to blame a politician (or any other person) for something beyond their control.

Russel T Davis, for being a rubbish writer.

People who say Creationism is bad because it takes away 'glory' from the theory of Sheer Dumb Luck.


And, you know, the Irish, French, Americans, Indians, Muslims, Atheists, old people, teenagers, punks, chavs, goths, emos, English people who mispronounce schedule as 'skedule' when it's pronounced 'shedule' or lieutenant as 'loo-tenant' when it's pronounced 'left-tenant', anyone who makes or listens to R'n'B and similar, and actually pretends that it counts as music, ganstas, rappas, people who drop litter, pre-pubescent girls being encouraged to act like mating animals and parents who allow or encourage this, and anyone who's bowels have been hurting for the past five years yes I'm looking at you.

:D

Mac Sirloin 04-20-2010 07:35 PM

All this Weeaboo discussion is dragging this story by the ankles out of my brain. It's not really about Weeaboos, but WHATEVA YO:
This is another true one.

I went to the Dentist today (4/20 for lyfe get fillings every day) and while waiting in the lobby this guy I know well enough to recognize despite his suddenly having long hair walks in. He didn't acknowledge me at all, despite my slight wave and nod. Instead, he walked right over to the other end of the room, picked up the game Manual for Luigi's Mansion which was sitting on a small pile of Gamecube games. this was not the strategy guide or anything, oh no, this was the small, 20 page bilingual pamphlet that you read if you're 12 years old and Luigi's Mansion just came out. This guy is either my age or older and Luigi's Mansion is almost a decade old.

I thought that was odd, but whatever, maybe he was just bored. I find out I have 15 minutes to wait so I pick up a Far Side collection and read it. Some way through this the guys mom shows up. He engages in a loud, loud, FUCKING LOUD conversation with her about how he think Doctor Seuss is "one of the most brilliant, amazing people [he's] ever heard of."

So I sat there trying to focus on my comics as this guy farted out of his mouth in a really nasally, nerdy voice about something his mom was desperately trying to pretend to care about. I'm not going to say I haven't said some incredibly mundane, nerdy shit to my parents in the past, but usually that was either at home or in the car. Not in a Dentist's Lobby full of people in a loud as fuck voice. It also involved something like "So Batman died in the comic books."
Dad: "No he didn't!"
"Yup."
Dad: "Well! Huh!"

Anyways, he gets called in first, and moments later, so do I. But he's still talking loud as fuck to a Dental Hygienist who, bless her heart, really obviously had no shit to give. First he started talking about how Batman never kills anyone in the comic books, or something. Something that would be a brief message board topic on a comic book forum, but no. No. He dragged that shit out for ten minutes, and then, after a brief, peaceful silence, he states (for absolutely no fucking reason.) "I'm The Nostalgia Critic, I remember it so you don't have to." For attention. He fucking made that claim in the middle of a goddamn Dentists office. At this point I forced myself to ignore him. I stared up at the flourescent lights and explained how to install a ballast in my head. Repeatedly. I do this when I feel stressed. It helps.

So then he gets into how Superman doesn't kill anyone in the comics.
"Well, uh...you know why they call him that."
"Call him? Uh?"
"They call him thuh (the+uh)...Boyscout in Blue!"

At this point I think he either had some kind of sharp metal in his teeth or was done. Or I blocked the rest out.

This reminds me of OANST's WoW Neckbeard dinner.

Sekto Springs 04-20-2010 07:44 PM

You seem to live around alot of obnoxious fuckholes. I feel for you, man.

Mac Sirloin 04-20-2010 07:55 PM

Just in the last week, and I wasn't really angry for the guy so much as embarrassed for him. I mean, I'm an asshole, but I know it. This guy is obviously lacking some social graces that aren't going to make adulthood very fun for him.

I'm with you on that one; I loathe hypocrisy in religion. I also hate non-religious people who say "But why can't you change the religion to allow gay marriage/female priests/pork eating/nude orgies in the church?" - it's not a religion if you can change it on a whim.

On the other hand...

But... but... the Bible doesn't say that homosexuality is a sin. It says anal sex is a sin, but does not comment on same-sex attraction at all.

Alcar 04-21-2010 01:54 AM

Oh Nathan, I left that one alone on purpose.

Alcar...

Splat 04-21-2010 06:42 AM

Yes it does (example), but as Alcar says, that line of discussion probably wouldn't end well.

Nate 04-21-2010 07:47 AM

It may not end well, but the journey would be hilarious.

In any case, if you check out the various other translations, you'll see a wide range of different views, some of which don't even mention homosexuality at all. I'm prepared to concede that that one example is perhaps a little dodgy, but the majority seem to be referring to people who perform homosexual acts, rather than people who are simply same-sex attracted.

Frankly, you can't treat the Gospels as gospel unless you can have access to a copy of the original text. Even if you believe they're divinely inspired (as is your right), you simply can't claim that the translators were themselves divine too; they always worked in a particular context with person politics and prejudices.

Exactly. That's why Christians have all these programs to teach the homosexual to push down these urges. All you have to do to get into heaven is deny who you are. Let's be thankful for this glorious opportunity, gentlemen.

You and OANST hurt people's souls.

Fat people have no souls.

They traded them into the devil's ice cream truck for a 99 cone.

UGH

The leader was this slightly overweight bespectacled chick clutching some shitty shoujo manga to her chest the whole fucking time. They watched DVDs and clustered around me when I mentioned I like anime. They were all "can you speak Japanese" and I was like "uh, yeah, I've lived in Japan for a-" so then they decided I was some native. The worst part was that they were under-classmen so they regularly searched me out at lunchtimes. Fuckers.

God, and the questions. The worst part is due to the power of the internet I was at least up-to-date and stuff, so they were years behind in interests. "I heard there's a new season of *show*!?" "Uh, yeah, it finished a year ago." "Woooah, really?!"

Bastards, you made me remember them now =/

Well, that's an interesting question. The ones who claim that they can turn a gay man straight are clearly full of shit both with respect to what they can acheive and their interpretation of the religion. On the other hand, if they convince gay guys to be celibate, it's not hypocritical, it's just unpleasant.
