can't help you that much
Korean looks like fun though
its very similar to japanese
Iβm only learning it because most of my friends are Korean and it would be top bants
Also I could just put another language on my resume for the meme
it drives me nuts when someone screams "weeb" at the top of their lungs when they see anyone or anything related to japan
even japanese people watch anime
and sing to japanese songs, they even sing to american songs
whats the big deal? π€
Weeb
I mean what you're describing is obviously misplaced disgust, but a kid being almost exclusive into media from the island of japan is pretty pathetic, and just turns one into a bore to talk to.
its one thing to get lost in the rabbit hole for a few years but I question the mental health of anyone who can't bring themselves to consume anything else
The stigma is totally understandable though
Just kind of annoying when someone finds out you can speak Japanese and they give you that look
I know what you mean, but people will look at anyone weird who seems to be just a little too into their hobby
unless its creative like writing, art, dance, something along those lines
it is disgusting, and barely any individuals seem to be living the "weeb" lifestyle highlighted in those filthy frank videos.
the term weeb now seems to be directed at any otaku, or anyone infact.
i think it's still rude and insulting, japanese or not.
I think identifying as an otaku is a telltale sign
doesn't even have to be otaku anymore
just related to japan
I donβt even watch anime or anythibg
otaku's just the japanese word for nerd is it not?
I just like the Japanese aesthetic
really is quite frustrating when you have an 11 year old obsessed with filthy frank yelling at you elementary grade insults with the term weeb and anime tits woven into them
yes but its associated with gaming and anime mostly
in japan
its a worthless term for western individuals
if you need to identify yourself by your hobbies, you're just an anime nerd
I say all this having watched some 250 anime and read dozens of VNs
and I don't know how many manga
I'm sure once we all have perfect machine translator earpieces it'll just auto translate the word to nerd
That's not even to say japanese words can't be adopted into english, hikikamori is a recognized medical condition in psychology unique from any other
or umami in cooking
yeah there are japanese terms that cant be translated into english without expanding on the meaning
like sayings, expressions
which change with society, slang is an example. no translator can keep up with that i dont think
not so
it would be an impressive achievement if any translator could
