You expect people to believe all your virtue signaling about unity and tolerance while you get triggered over someone having an anime profile picture and call people mall ninjas just for liking Japan. So what if I’m white? I happen to admire Japanese culture. Is Western culture for everyone, but Japanese culture only for the Japanese? I guess leftists are more racist than they pretend to be. Yes, I have a katana on my wall, why is that such a big deal? It used to be a normal interior design choice but people like you are just trying to shame every white person who happens to enjoy Japanese style. If you hate guns so much you should be happy that I protect my home with a katana instead. But who cares about logic when you can be an inconsistent leftist? I hate to break it to you but weeaboos hate leftism because we know you’re a bunch of hypocrites that will never accept us for who we are.

    One of my posts on this site was me complaining about digital ticket prices for a V-tuber concert and I got upbears and a torrent link.

    Hexbear likes to shit on weebs partly because we're infected with the dirtbag-left contrarianism where we have to performatively hate everything popular, especially treats, but a) nobody really means it and b) >50% of the users on here are weebs themselves

      Average hexbear user:

      3:43 pm: "Shut the fuck up about capeshit, it's killing all of culture and numbing our brains and the NPC hordes are flocking into the cinemas soyfacing at Spider-man for the 50th time even though it's all the same fucking movie"

      8:24 pm: "Saw the new Dr Strange movie, was pretty meh"

          I can handle capeshit in small doses but the larger zeitgeist of it is "trying to improve society somewhat is what villains do" and "Great Men Who Are Born Special should rule over you for your own good."

            If i ever rigjht a capeshit story the "hero" is going to be an inexplicable phenomena where huge groups of angry strangers just know that everyone else in the crowd is willing to go and go hard, so they just commit and storm the bastille.

        I actually havent seen capshit since the first iron man movie. I was in my coutries equivalent of a greyhound and they were airing it. I got so offended i decided to boycot disney.

          blows my mind that I was like 15 when iron man came out I remember seeing that in theaters with my dad. It fucks me up so bad that this movie I saw 15 years ago was the first in a series that is STILL going. It’s not even the case that they rebooted it no technically it’s still from the same thing and I’m in my god damn thirties now

          Edit: I should also mention that “rebooting” is a load of horseshit anyway. They’ve decided the mcu is just the visual comics so when they “reboot” they will literally have an in universe explanation for why it’s happening with multiverse bullshit.

          And the “new” mcu will just come out like one year after they “reboot “ it

          I think the last capeshit I saw was Shazam. It was cute, i liked the found family angle. The last mcu capeshit i saw was i think black widow. The portrayal of the soviet super soldiers was eye rolling but I really liked Florence Pugh's character and Rachel Weiss and what's his name had fun chemistry. Some good chase sequences. Also some of the slice of life/downtime/our lives as super-people are so weird moments that I like in the genre. I would seriously just want a 2hr movie of Captain America and Black Widow running errands, doing laundry, buying groceries.

      I wanna know what the pfp was tbh. If someone showed up with a CoD punisher skull pfp they'd rightfully get called capital g Gamer. I dunno shit about anime but I'm sure you all have similar red flags.

        I like some anime and I don't consider anime enjoying itself to be a red flag, but I certainly dislike the spiraling trend of pandering to big spending hikkikomori and their fucked up politics and power fantasies. :pathetic:

        I think I can attest to the fact there is some level of weeb hate in here, but as the op said, its a minority of loud voices and ultimately it leads to very hypocritical arguments so it ends up in a meaningless discussion anyway. The original copypasta is a bit though surely, but lets just say not completely fictional.

      I've met a lot of weebs in my life. Most of them have been nice enough. The bad apples though. VERY rotten. VERY.

      I find a lot of the medium cringe too and plenty of it is problematic, but I like pro wrestling so I can't run my mouth really. People enjoy dumb shit. I am one of those people.

        Anime and manga are such wildly diverse mediums, as diverse as anything else. A lot of the perception of them being uniquely perverse is that the loudest voices talking about them on the English language internet are deeply, distressingly weird people. You just don't hear about all the boring slice of life mangas for adults bc the stereotypical English speaking :libertarian-approaching:'s aren't interested in it. There's so much high quality anime with deep commentary on politics, philosophy, art, culture, life.

      I am a Japanese culture enjoyer, it is true. Lots of really cool media from Japan. Like Gojira? :chefs-kiss:
