Description
People like to argue about shit that nobody really cares about. Whether or not Japan is the best place to live in is one of those topics. My point is that both weeaboos and the ones bashing weeaboos are fucking morons who have no clue what they're talking about especially when it comes to the ups and downs of living in Japan. They just like to mimic everything they hear.Weeaboos: Japan isn't Neverland. Life over there (or anywhere for that matter) does not work like it does in Peter Pan and it certainly does not work like it does in Anime or Manga as well. If you even visited the country, you will pretty much end your weeaboo phase there. Also do some research on the country before you even talk about trying to be a Mangaka. Mangaka and Comic artist are the same damn thing. Anime and Cartoons are the same thing too. Calling Cartoons and Anime two different things is like saying Democracy and Communism are opposites. Could any of you even at LEAST speak one sentence of Japanese without a translator? Have you even talked to a Japanese before? How much do you know about Japan? What makes you so special that you'll be able to succeed in Japan easily?
Weeaboo Haters: You're hardly any different from the weeaboos. All you do is try to say that "you're better off living in America (or whatever Western country) than you are in Japan!" No we are not. It doesn't matter what country we live in and Japan is certainly NOT any more or less racist than the rest of the world. I'm not saying that Japan is better than America, Canada or Europe. In fact all of them are just consumerist first world countries that are just as racist as one another. Do you HONESTLY think it makes a difference? They're all just neoliberal nations with a bunch of "We're better than Africa and the Middle East" bullshit. I can show you an essay on how Cuba managed to achieve the successes that neither Japan nor America could even achieve. Many of you are closet weeaboos either way.

If you want to doubt my essay, fine doubt all you want, but if you blast me for praising Cuba, I will treat you no different than I would a weeaboo. You are not on any ground to whine and bitch about weeaboos if you openly support a military alliance between US and Japan and oppose Fidel Castro (at least if you want to be taken seriously).
TL;DR: Weeaboos and weeaboo haters just need to... , do some research and form their own opinions. People just hear things and gobble them up.
Edit: There I got rid of the red. No more eye rape.

Yeah, the suicide rate is ridiculous, and their view of suicide is problematic to say the very least.
Yeah, the fanservice ruined a lot of it for me. Or when you get into one that is not fanservice-y and then it becomes like nothing but fanservice. What a nightmare.
Yeah, it's really hard to get a job overseas, unless you are fluent in the language, and a lot of the weeaboos are not.

haters like to go around thinking like it's "AIDS to the eyes" or some shit like that because when they see the mass overindulgence of a show (i.e naruto) from a particular genre (shonen) it's like they can't tell whether they should like it or not, they don't like it overall because of the popularity from the obnoxious group of fans (weeaboos) and how the show represents what anime is (which it isn't) and they have no reason or intention to actually look into the shonen demographic or seinen (which would make it easier to find a certain anime with a good psychologically sound story)

To me the only difference between Anime and Cartoons are the style. Anime has that big head, big eyes thing going on, and most cartoons have a kind of quirky unrealistic style. Anime and Cartoons to me are two different things by ways of artist style, however they are both, in the non-artistic sense, the same thing. Anime is just the Japanese version of a Cartoon and a Cartoon is an American Anime.
Why people get super touchy about calling an anime a cartoon and a cartoon an anime, I will never understand.

Mega-Amen to that! So much THIS
I am interested in Japan and it's culture for like 7 years, and I think that weeaboos are just bunch of brainless crazies.
But I doesn't mean that anti-weebs tend to exagarate as well. For example they're so hyper-sensitive that they'd for sure call a sane person who simply likes anime and defends his hobbies, a weeaboo. As if there werent -aboos of on other cultures. Some ppl just need to learn what does "weeaboo" really means.
I've sometimes think that such a drama is on dA, had became quite popular. I have done some observation and is it just me or did anyone else noticed, that if you type in "Japan" in dA search engine in "dA related" section, it's full of "baaawwww you're not Jpnese baaww, you're such a weeaboo, baawwww, Jpnese culture is over-raythed, baaaw anime sux dick blablabla" whining mostly loaded on stamps.
And if you say something against such a dogmas you'll automatically get labeled as weeaboo, a troll or anything like. And as for the racism in country A vs counrty B, I disagree with debating which one is more or less perfect. It's also way too pointed at first world countries IMHO.
I recently considered of making a list of TRUE reasons that some1 may be a weeaboo, among with reasons of being an anti-weeb elitist asshole, because after doing this observation, it really made me to do that.
Anyway you did really great job on creating this stamp.

I would only consider someone to be a "weeaboo" by their actions, not by their words. If a person only cares about Anime AND I mean only Anime over the good of the people (especially the Japanese during the tsunami), then I would consider that person to be a weeaboo.
People don't understand that it's not Anime's fault that dA is a shithole. It's the people. Just like how the NRA (even though they may be a bunch of gun nuts but meh, that's besides the point) says "Guns don't kill people, people kill people." So deviantART would not automatically become a better place without weeaboos, you would have to make it a better place.
People just need to stop arguing over a bunch of shows.

I think that by words someone may be a weeaboo as well. For example they like to think, that Japan is really a "fairy land of anime" or any bullshit like that. I also found that pathetic when weeaboos were like "Oh no, anime is gone", how about the victims?
I may sound strange, but before I was registered on dA I had no idea, that it's also full of trolls, attention whores or spammers, like Youtube, Twitter or even Facebook.
Instead of anime I agree, that's the problem caused by fantards and anti-fantards flamewars, who upload screencaps with users they argued on anti-weeb groups that they belong to and show to the members, what kind of weebs they are. It simply goes through the same repetitive cycle over and over again.
As one known countrymen writer said: "Until I've met the Internet, I had no idea that the world is full or imeciles".
With that NRA quote thing it made me kinda laugh coz I reminded myself of this: [link] xD

Shit, I feel like that I might as well just stop watching both styles or maybe just animation as a whole. I mean Anime will always have the same cliche animation style (which I can deal with) and the majority of fans who can be biased at times and though I see there's nothing wrong with western cartoons.
The problem is that the western fans can be just as bad as the anime fans, meaning that when presented to anime then who the fucking hell knows how they're gonna react. Sure I know there's some western animation fans who aren't all picks and torches against anime and can maybe find an anime that fits their taste.
But the majority of those that have a displeasure towards anime; after reading their opinionated statements (mostly on Youtube), it just gives me the idea that most of them just tend to might as well hate Japan other than anime with going all Pearl Harbor this and that, but the Japanese government made their apologizes and around the years of the WWII, I'm pretty sure maybe half or most of the Japanese citizens were not entirely 100% with their country getting involved with this war. All that was obviously on behalf of an ignorant government which is no perfect then any other government or monarchy in this world.
I never thought that people could be so harsh about hating anime to just hating the country that it came from.

Yeah. I've noticed a lot of people who like to blame Anime for all of their problems. I mean for crying out loud, it's just cartoons from Japan. It's okay not to like Anime, but to throw a fit over it is just plain silly. It's not hard to just turn it off if they don't like something.
As of for that WWII and Pearl Harbor thing, yeah, that was just plain cruel. Especially during the time when there was the tsunami back in March of last year when so many people (most likely Americans) on Facebook saying that it was "payback/God's revenge for Pearl Harbor." I mean, come on, that was about 70 years ago, and you don't even have to be an Anime fan to know how fucked up those comments were. I mean if we're going to bring that up, we might as well talk about the hundreds of thousands (I think) of civilians we killed because of the atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
People just need to stop fighting over shows. They're just shows.

Yes, I have read some of those comments that were indeed messed up and to just retarded but most of that is just YouTube, but I wonder if you are aware of an anti-anime group on this site, their intellect is alot different from the ignorant whining bastards on YouTube, they actually provide their reasons that actually make sense for their displeasure towards anime, although the fan art is harsh but eh their opinion.
Though I do feel bad for what happened to them last year, but it's not like that I feel bad for them and only them. The year before when Haiti had it's earthquake, I prayed for them because they're humans, just humans the same thing with Japan, their humans in great distress that are begging for help, either from prayer or donation, we're just giving them a fucking idea that there are people that feel they're pain and/or willing to give a sign of hope.
It's just so goddamn ridiculous to say that we should just let them die because of a past event, a popular product they have, or just some stereotypical shit.
And you know the thing that I hate about that shit is that as they have the intent to categorizes either hypocrites or ignorant because they would just assume that we regretting for the events that occurred in WWII, when they're just obviously pointing that shit towards the weeaboos.
Just because we happen to prefer watching anime just because grew a fondness of it and take it as an interest doesn't mean that we're bound to be become brain-dead fangeeks. WOW sorry if this was a long read, I guess I was getting way into it.

I'm aware of the Anti-Anime group on dA as well. I admit that some of what they say I agree with, but in the end, the group was just a mere knee-jerk reaction to the Anime fandom, so I'm not really interested in that group.
You make a very good point as well in regards to the earthquake in Haiti. There was also an earthquake in Chile and long before in 2008, there was one in China. I heard that one Hollywood Actress (I think it was Sharon Stone) made an obnoxious comment on the news saying that "it was bad karma for China just because they were treating the Tibetans horribly." Not only was she hated by the Chinese, but by pretty much everyone else as well (including Tibetans), because she was putting the blame on people who had nothing to do with their government or their actions towards the Tibetans, and even the Dalai Lama was disgusted with what she said. That's why I don't trust celebrities.
I wouldn't worry about typing too much as long as you're making very good points. I don't judge people by who they are, what skin color they are, what kinds of shows they watch or anything else about them. I only judge them by how they act and only by their actions.

I love how their goals are to be mangakas yet they don't make the effort to improve their art nor draw to the best of their ability
- v -;
Hrm, I wouldn't exactly say communism is a democracy...(the IDEALISM is, but really, has it been any more than a corrupt committee runnin' a huge mass of land? Oh my!) But your point is communicated well.
I appreciated your viewpoints for both sides. I can say I have a civilized (and mostly politely expressed) disappointment in weeaboos and how they handle themselves.

DragonQuestWes In reply to fuushou [2012-01-26 23:17:36 +0000 UTC]
Of course not. None of these so called "mangakas" in training have the artistic ability nor can they even take any criticism. You'll often hear them say "It's my style" and not realizing that style does not have anything to do with their inability to draw proper anatomy.
Corruption and disregard for human nature isn't a Communist issue, it's an authority issue. When I rant about Capitalism, I would rant about multinational corporations getting too much power over the government. The Cuban Revolution was never an intention to turn to Communism, it was an attempt to put an end to US-influence and overthrow a US-backed dictator.
Getting back to weeaboos, I can safely say that nobody in society would accept them. Especially not the Socialists and Communists. Would either of them think that Japan is the best country in the world? Of course not, and the reason is rather obvious.

fuushou In reply to DragonQuestWes [2012-01-27 19:44:20 +0000 UTC]
True that. Kudos to you.
But then again...anime distorts anatomy...I think really it's got to be aesthetically pleasing before it can be named a 'style' to be honest. That and the relativity to the actual human figure, which, despite many animu-haters may say, anime does exhibit the link to realistic human anatomy. Somewhat.
I love the fact that you separate authority from concept. And the fact that you acknowledge capitalism as a not-so-great way to run a country either (people won't admit this though). I do say, most people who see the revolution having the communist intent are actually American...which is ironic due to the fact that they backed up a dictator, which we all know they 'hate.'
(a dictator actually meant a Roman authority elected in times of crisis to override the consuls in emergencies...but then again, the Romans also had a senate...0-0)
A nod 'yes' to that. But of course not, there's a reason unacceptable is in many people's every day vocabulary. I don't think a lot of people find any country to be the best in the world, and just like for Japan, the reasons are blaringly obvious...(I'll proudly admit that I have a soft spot for Europe, however. However my political ideology is not associated with my utter love for Eastern Europe, for a straight-up disclaimer, nor do I find the countries there to be never-land--they're a tad bit further from that.)

now yes i may want to visit japan one day, but mostly its to see the land and see if they have a higher calling for a comic artist (which america has a less call for a comic artist) and though its likely they may not either, but it would still be nice to visit, it would also be cool to go to hungary XD
