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.
