as I went over already

You can be an anime fan and not in a fandom

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

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

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

That is the key difference

Without furry fandom there are no furry at all

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

Or european or russian etc

No, that would not make sense.

how do

so*

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

You cannot be Japanese and a weeaboo.

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

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

but anyway

I never said Japanese fans are weaboos

I said weaboos and western fans are not all anime fans

Japanese people are the majority of anime fans

But all weeaboos are into anime.

Weebs are hardly a fandom

Get that shit out of here

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

Weebs are superfans

idk what your point is lmao

Weeb might as well be a mental illness

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

yea cool you stated a fact, congrats?

If weebs are what you are talking about you just lose

My point is that weeaboos are a fandom.

Weebs arent even an anime fandom

yea and they are a minority of a minority of fans

Anime is not a fandom

They are japan fans

An anime fan does not have to be a part of a fandom.

correct

so idk what your point is

either you are not making it clear enough, or you think you're making a point that you're not

Just like someone who watches a Star Wars film does not have to be a part of the Star Wars fandom and not everyone who watches Star Trek is a Trekkie.

Anime fandom and weeb fandom are seperate you dolt
