People who like anime but arent as addicted in it, watches some anime, not every single fucking one of them. Some are actually pretty nice, but most of them are shit. Ignore them if they tell you about their waifus or Husbandos, cause they’re going to have a new one by the end of the week. Chaotic if disturbed.

previous meaning: a person who is obsessed with anime and japanese culture
meaning since 2016: a person who watches anime
reasons for change of usage:
in 2016, anime has increased its popularity exponentially due to different major influences, some of which include -
- netflix buying into the anime industry
- kim kardashian promoting darling in the franxx on her instagram
- as a result, normalization of anime in western countries
- "anime aesthetic" fashion, citypop, lofi, hiphop music with anime influence being widely popularized
- manga slowly but surely outselling western comics
in general it can be assumed that anime has since then turned into somewhat of a "normie" interest as (many, not all) people are now a lot more accepting and self expression for this interest is also widely more appreciated. this means, that the term "weeb" is being thrown around with a lot less weight, just like for example the term "nerd" is.
tyler: jesus look at this weeb, running around with anime merch and saying shit like "baka" and "ohayou"
jordan: ok thats cringe but, aren't you also a weeb? you just talked about watching MHA yesterday

jordan: okay weeb
This is a synonym to japanophilia. It is often confused with otaku, which means liking anime, manga and the japanese culture in a respectful way, unlike beeing a weeb. Weebs often fetishise people with Japanese roots.
Person A: Oh, i really like hentai, i would really like to date japanese women/men, because they are really sexy!
Person B: Would you consider knowing more about their culture?
Person A: Mm, i'm not that interested, i just like oppai.
Person B: You are such a weeb!
