A weeb is anyone with an anime profile picture/username and they typically do not believe they are a weeb, and will insist on giving you definitions that make them exempt from the undesirable title.
"quiet weeb"
"im not a weeb you idiot, even though I love my waifu and want to be Japanese, I don't have a body pillow!!!!!"
"ok bu-"
"you can keep being ignorant like you are now, that's fine by me"
"but you're really a-"
"now if you excuse me I'm gonna do my Japanese Duolingo course while watching anime on my second monitor"
*sigh
"why do weebs have to be this way"
someone who celebrates or likes japanese culture, people afon define it "someone who is obsesed with anime" but this is false
someone who is a weeb loves japanese culture
A fucking person who simps for pixels, and is a sweat in all the game he/she plays
A person who can name more anime openings than people they have dated.
The previous definition of the word weeb was similar to
'being so obsessed with anime and Japanese culture that you denounce your own and pretend to be japanese, these people often have a body pillow, a biased opinion of Japan believing it to be a complete utopia and sometimes even try to justify some warcrimes Japan did during World War 2'
but throughout the passage of time some people believe that a person that watches any type of Japanese related media is a weeb, ignoring whether or not that person is actually obsessed with anime
Dude 1 : hey I just watched Attack on Titan this weekend it's pretty good wanna hang out later and watch it?
Dude 2 : what the fuck I didn't know you were a weeaboo fuck off
Dude 1 : what? no. I just said I liked Attack on Titan i don't even watch that much anime
Dude 2 : sure weeb, go back to your mothers basement and jerk off to your anime body pillow
Originally it was short for weeaboo, but slowly they have morphed two different words.
Weebs are simply people who watch anime (Japanese shows) and do not have an obsession with Japan. It’s typically used in a derogatory way but weebs can also sometimes refer to themselves as such.
Most weebs are normal people who can tell fiction from reality, though there is a minority of weeaboos who fall under the stereotype (i.e. having bodypillows, trying to date fictional characters, etc.) this minority should not be lumped in with regular weebs and should instead be referred to as a “weeaboo”
“Man MHA season four sucked. I really disliked Er-“

“Does anybody know any weeb discord servers I can talk about anime in?”
