No matter what kind of culture you travel to, you can't leave yourself behind. If you don't like your life here, are you going to be different there?
I found out something interesting a while back. Many Japanese (as well as other parts of the world) are told that the french are the epitome of high culture of the world and after moving for a different life, actually have a Japanese hotline for those suffering from the cultural shock of destroyed expectations.
What's with these whities who are convinced they can learn japanese and live in japan in some sort of magical world? I mean, shit, they have a recession, and the work week sucks.
99% of weeaboos who talk about how they want to live in Japan and talk about how it's such a wonderful place probably wouldn't last 5 minutes outside of Shibuya
they just don't recognize that the Japanese don't care for disgusting 3D fucks like them ;/
@marcster1994 It's a section of the site where people shared events from their life that applied to certain Tropes. Most of these would often miss the point of the trope itself and use it in an incorrect manner. It was removed, and the videos remain, giving us a good idea of why.

@yuoaman I dunno, a lot of the more fked-up troper tales give me a certain sense of schadenfreude… you could almost have sehnsucht for when they were easily found on the wiki
If the Japanese hated Gratuitous Japanese so much, one would think they would not use Gratuitous English/Russian/German as much as they do. Hm.
And I'm probably the only person here worried more about the abuse of the English language by those who speak it, than the abuse of another language by those who don't.
@RecklessInternetting I'm an American that doesn't speak loudly,hate foreigners, or tote guns. We can be the best together.
@IRUKANJI No, "nakama" means "the other members of the group I'm currently talking about". If you're a sailor, it means your shipmates, if you're talking about work, it means your colleagues, if you're just talking about your personal life in general, it means the friends you normally hang out with, etc.
There's no real direct English equivalent, but there's always some English word you can use in its place, so feel free to punch every dumbass who uses the Japanese word for whatever reason.
Send all the weeaboos to Japan so Godzilla can fucking annihilate them. Either that or kindly ask the Japanese government to have some Samurai come over and slice their throats.
Okay, honestly, I understand knowing Japanese if you plan to visit/live there for reasons unrelated to Anime/Manga. Beautiful country, rich history. But if you're just learning the language to geek out, or to watch an anime, you need to cool your heels. And you definitely shouldn't be speaking it in your day-to-day routine. If I meet someone who spoke Japanese who isn't Japanese and didn't have any sort of direct tie to the country, I'll have to resist punching them in the face.
I hate it when these guys try to rationalize or justify their gratuitous Japanese, like they've studied or listened to it so much that they just can't help themselves and will involuntarily slip into Japanese. I never, ever, ever accidentally use English or Japanese no matter how much I'm exposed to them all day long. I never mix languages.
"There is no English equivalent" is also a great excuse when there is in fact an equivalent. Fansubbers are guilty of this too.
watch?v=mNIK4X6EkgY Here, this girl right here. Note her OWN MOTHER SLAPS THE SHIT OUT OF HER because SHE WON'T STOP SAYING IT. Now imagine that, only a full-grown woman that should know better, and no one is hitting her. This is the sound of weeaboo. This is the sound of TV Tropes. On loop. FOREVER.
Oh for fucking shit's sake. The "uu~" tic mentioned from Umineko no Naku no Koro Ni? The character who has it is a FUCKING EIGHT-YEAR-OLD, and one that's implied to have some kind of mental disorder as well, as she makes that noise instead of articulating herself, thought it's not clear whether she won't or she can't. Congratulations, you officially think that emulating a small possibly-brain-damaged child makes you a cool, intelligent adult. This is a success story.
@Delcat42 So some reason, I thought it came from haruhi-chan fanfic having something to do with a particularly eccentric character's undying love for smoked cheese...
@Delcat42 - Also, Maria is psychotic and kills her mother in a million different ways at one point in the series. Of course, that Troper probably thinks it's a badge of honor.
"How dare those Chinese screw up a word that isn't their own!!11"
On a side note, I am half Chinese and we have a rich history ourselves like every other Asian country yet some people think Japan is the cream of the crop. Funny, isn't that what the Japanese Empire thought during WWII?
@secretkeeperzish I don't think it's got a name. I think it's just one of those random comics made by drawfags and uploaded to 4chan, though if you Google image 'reverse weaboo' then you'll find a permenant backup of it quickly enough.
That reminds me of a comic I found with the roles reversed: A Japanese guy got hooked onto Nicktoons, said he'd never waste his time watching Japanese animation, and that he only watches cartoons in their original "American" language. In the last panel, he grumbled about how HIS tastes (Spongebob and Fairly Oddparents) were superior to everyone else's and that he couldn't wait to go to America where he'd fit in for enjoying their cartoons. Picture that for a moment.
@lera980 Yeah, that was daily dosed on /co/ for a while, I remember that.
But, like I said before, I can't get enough of reverse weeaboos, so I totally would hang out with that guy. I'm fascinated by people fascinated by my culture. That comic's an exaggeration, but there is a niche fandom for American cartoons and comics over there; just the other day I saw a piece on Pixiv about the new Alpha Flight series, for Christ's sake. Seriously, Alpha Flight.
Reverse Weeaboo makes me think of whiny comics fans who bitch and moan about anything vaguely Japanese (and therefore WEEABOO! WEEABOO!) No, not to levels where you can rightfully declare weeaboo/animesque, I mean extremely minor crap. Oh, and all anime is tentacles, hurr.
the way these people take in words is like primitives picking up on modern words; like they only understand it in the context said, almost like it's some kind of magic
It's funny yet sad that they utterly fail to fully learn the difficult yet important language they claim to love, and they have the nerve to say they understand it completely. A shamefurr dispray.
hey look on the bright side, at least these people make it obvious how terribly broken they are so they're easy to ignore and avoid. Like furries that wear tails and shit in public, or people who post on SA that have those emoticon lapel pins
Whoever thinks nakama doesn't have an English word for it is a moron. Just because friendship has more meaning in Japan doesn't make it different from friendship. It just means that in Japanese culture, friendship is more sacred. They should go to Japan and be in a school where they will get their asses kicked by the bullies there. You know what, bullies aren't just going to get them, everyone will too.
@holditnow Two guys walk up to you in the corridor. One says to you 'Kawaii no Desu' and the other guy asks what he's saying. You tell him he's talking in gratiuitous Japansese because he's an anime fanboy. The second guy then calls the first guy MA BOI and refers to him as a dinner fanboy from then on and the first guy swears at the second guy in Japanese and uses a Dragonball Z move on him. Which of these people do you punch first?
@Protectorett "Which of these people do you punch first?"
Neither: they'll both freeze in silence when they see me with my badass longcoat and fedora. Then I shoot a Death Glare in their direction and let out a MUHAAAAAAAAAAAAAA. They'll explode like Hokuto no Ken.
@EponymousKid well one of the quotes involved the word high school, also and much of the terminology clearly demonstrates that most of the posters were from the USA, but no doubt a few were from other countries...
I feel like I shouldn't hate Japan because of people like this, but I'll be damned if it's not really, really hard to avoid putting the blame on Japan for letting these creatures become so common.
Oh no, you're right in laying some of it on the Japanese. Despite what a lot of commentators here seem to assume, the Japanese in general love it when foreigners speak their language, no matter how butchered and awful it sounds. It's an affection that comes from both a great sense of pride in the Japanese tongue and a long-standing respect for trying hard, even if it always results in pitiful failure.
@CenturionRyan Dunno. I've watched some of the cartoons and it does mean I've heard the japanese language quite a bit more than I did before I started watching some of them. I do think the japanese language is very beautiful and it has a similar feel as spanish to me in some ways. It also wouldn't bother me if people used phrases they heard in latin music; actually, it used to be "hip" to say "que pasa?" as a greeting.
The point about the cowboy hat is well taken, however.
This is like if a Japanese person came over to America wearing a cowboy outfit, ate exclusively at McDonalds and said "Dude" and "Yo" every other word.
I don't think using words and phrases from other languages is that bad. :/ I've heard people do that with spanish (I'm from a spanish speaking family although I'm not very good at spanish myself). Although I guess they do it with people who actually know spanish and don't just yell "oye!" at taxis.
I'M PART JAPANESE BITCH THE PURE DIVINE BLOOD OF MY ANIME GODS FLOWETH IN MY VEINS. I AM LIKE UNTO THE JAPANESE HEROES OF OLD, LIKE HERCULES-SAMA AND ATHENYAA-CHAN, INFUSED BY THE DIVINE ESSENCE, FEASTING UPON POCKY, THE TRUE FOOD OF DIVINITY.
YE NON-WEEABOOS, WHO HAVE SERIOUSLY LEARNED NIPPONESE MAY COME SIT UPON MY MIGHTY AHIKABARAN THRONE; ALL OTHERS MAY ROT IN ANIME HELL.
This troper could actually develop a real skill and be bilingual, but the only reason he even knows a bit of Japanese is because of his infatuation with anime. Sigh~
Nothing shameful about a Pixiv account, since they made the menu into English anyway. 'Sides, it's more or less deviantArt, just, er, Japanese and with no photogs.
@RomZomCom Well, I use Chrome so it translates the pages anyway. I CAN read kana but that's about it. And honestly I mostly look at fanart of US comics and cartoons, because I never get tired of reverse weeaboo shit.
I actually give a bit of credit to whoever is underneath the "raises paw guiltily" guy. Their case is that people who do that are annoying and for once I can agree with a troper tale. Broken clock is right once every 6,000 days I guess.
No matter what kind of culture you travel to, you can't leave yourself behind. If you don't like your life here, are you going to be different there?

What's more annoying, people who use internet memes in real life or people who think they can speak Japanese because they watch subtitled anime?

@holditnow Two guys walk up to you in the corridor. One says to you 'Kawaii no Desu' and the other guy asks what he's saying. You tell him he's talking in gratiuitous Japansese because he's an anime fanboy. The second guy then calls the first guy MA BOI and refers to him as a dinner fanboy from then on and the first guy swears at the second guy in Japanese and uses a Dragonball Z move on him. Which of these people do you punch first?

@Protectorett "Which of these people do you punch first?"
Neither: they'll both freeze in silence when they see me with my badass longcoat and fedora. Then I shoot a Death Glare in their direction and let out a MUHAAAAAAAAAAAAAA. They'll explode like Hokuto no Ken.

EponymousKid 9 months ago
@EponymousKid well one of the quotes involved the word high school, also and much of the terminology clearly demonstrates that most of the posters were from the USA, but no doubt a few were from other countries...

I feel like I shouldn't hate Japan because of people like this, but I'll be damned if it's not really, really hard to avoid putting the blame on Japan for letting these creatures become so common.

@SpecterM91
Oh no, you're right in laying some of it on the Japanese. Despite what a lot of commentators here seem to assume, the Japanese in general love it when foreigners speak their language, no matter how butchered and awful it sounds. It's an affection that comes from both a great sense of pride in the Japanese tongue and a long-standing respect for trying hard, even if it always results in pitiful failure.

@CenturionRyan Dunno. I've watched some of the cartoons and it does mean I've heard the japanese language quite a bit more than I did before I started watching some of them. I do think the japanese language is very beautiful and it has a similar feel as spanish to me in some ways. It also wouldn't bother me if people used phrases they heard in latin music; actually, it used to be "hip" to say "que pasa?" as a greeting.
The point about the cowboy hat is well taken, however.

This is like if a Japanese person came over to America wearing a cowboy outfit, ate exclusively at McDonalds and said "Dude" and "Yo" every other word.

I don't think using words and phrases from other languages is that bad. :/ I've heard people do that with spanish (I'm from a spanish speaking family although I'm not very good at spanish myself). Although I guess they do it with people who actually know spanish and don't just yell "oye!" at taxis.
ioaqw 9 months ago
@ioaqw There's your problem. The people who do this have absolutely no connection to Japanese culture beyond watching shitty cartoons.

That's not really an equivalent. Quite sperging yourself. It's not more becoming just because it's being turned on weeaboo pillocks.

This troper could actually develop a real skill and be bilingual, but the only reason he even knows a bit of Japanese is because of his infatuation with anime. Sigh~

himethisisme 9 months ago
That said, I think using words that don't have an English equivalent isn't exactly gratuitous, especially when they're established fan terms.
I'd just like to point out that I have a Pixiv account and I'm a major weeaboo and these people still piss me off.
"I'm not a weeaboo, I just want to be Japanese!" I can't even begin to even.
EponymousKid 9 months ago 2
@EponymousKid
Nothing shameful about a Pixiv account, since they made the menu into English anyway. 'Sides, it's more or less deviantArt, just, er, Japanese and with no photogs.

I actually give a bit of credit to whoever is underneath the "raises paw guiltily" guy. Their case is that people who do that are annoying and for once I can agree with a troper tale. Broken clock is right once every 6,000 days I guess.
