Its an entire countries animated media

2018-09-02 07:33:15 UTC  

as Ehzek just said, anime is not a fandom

2018-09-02 07:33:54 UTC  

anime is an entire country's form of entertainment, it is an extension of Japan's culture

2018-09-02 07:34:13 UTC  

furries are just a weird group of people who like anthros

2018-09-02 07:34:28 UTC  

Its like the difference between NFL and Fantasy Football

2018-09-02 07:34:31 UTC  

which is something that could never be mainstream, or larger than it is

2018-09-02 07:34:36 UTC  

NFL has fans

2018-09-02 07:34:45 UTC  

FF is a fandom

2018-09-02 07:34:55 UTC  

Anime is a fandom as well because they are a weird group of people obsessing over another country’s animation.

2018-09-02 07:35:16 UTC  

in the west maybe, but the west isn't important to Japan and anime

2018-09-02 07:35:20 UTC  

as I went over already

2018-09-02 07:35:26 UTC  

You can be an anime fan and not in a fandom

2018-09-02 07:35:47 UTC  

if an anime bombs in Japan, even if it is a huge hit in the west, companies don't care and will stop

2018-09-02 07:35:52 UTC  

You cant be a furry fan and not in the furry fandom

2018-09-02 07:35:53 UTC  

But it is important when considering the fact that weeaboos are not from Japan and are from other countries.

2018-09-02 07:36:03 UTC  

That is the key difference

2018-09-02 07:36:21 UTC  

Without furry fandom there are no furry at all

2018-09-02 07:36:40 UTC  

yea but weaboos / western fans aren't all anime fans, a majority are actually Japanese

2018-09-02 07:36:59 UTC  

Or european or russian etc

2018-09-02 07:37:15 UTC  

No, that would not make sense.

2018-09-02 07:37:26 UTC  

how do

2018-09-02 07:37:28 UTC  

so*

2018-09-02 07:37:51 UTC  

A weeaboo is a term for someone from the west who is obsessed with anime.

2018-09-02 07:38:04 UTC  

You cannot be Japanese and a weeaboo.

2018-09-02 07:38:26 UTC  

Just like you cannot be British and a teeaboo or Korean and be a koreaboo.

2018-09-02 07:38:30 UTC  

no, weaboos are people who obsess over anime *to the point they hold Japan on a pedestal*

2018-09-02 07:38:34 UTC  

but anyway

2018-09-02 07:38:40 UTC  

I never said Japanese fans are weaboos

2018-09-02 07:38:56 UTC  

I said weaboos and western fans are not all anime fans

2018-09-02 07:39:03 UTC  

Japanese people are the majority of anime fans

2018-09-02 07:39:18 UTC  

But all weeaboos are into anime.

2018-09-02 07:39:32 UTC  

Weebs are hardly a fandom

2018-09-02 07:39:41 UTC  

Get that shit out of here

2018-09-02 07:39:48 UTC  

...y-yea? just like all furries are into furry stuff

2018-09-02 07:39:49 UTC  

Weebs are superfans

2018-09-02 07:39:54 UTC  

idk what your point is lmao

2018-09-02 07:40:03 UTC  

Weeb might as well be a mental illness

2018-09-02 07:40:18 UTC  

that's like saying "Japanese people are from Japan"

2018-09-02 07:40:25 UTC  

yea cool you stated a fact, congrats?

2018-09-02 07:40:35 UTC  

If weebs are what you are talking about you just lose

2018-09-02 07:40:46 UTC  

My point is that weeaboos are a fandom.
