(TL Note: A weeaboo is someone who’s overly obsessed with Asian [Japanese] culture, to the point where you want to stab them in the face with a blunt knife. In case you still don’t get how annoying weeaboos are, they’re worse than techno fetishists, and that’s saying nothing)
Well, it was just another of those Skype conferences where everyone invited their friends over. Within 30 minutes, the room was filled with around 40 people; with only a handful speaking. I received a couple of add requests; which I inadvertently accepted [stab me]. Wasn’t long till I got bored and disconnected. And then, I received a call from [redacted].
After a couple of minutes or so of conversation, I realized that posting random pictures of Japanese women wasn’t such a bright idea; for this guy was deeply under the impression that I was some Japanese guy, and the women in the pictures were my relative. Well, I’ve seen this happen before, so I wasn’t much concerned about it, until the guy said:
‘Your imouto is kawaii, ne?’
And, that is when I realized that I was talking to a weeaboo. [A hardcore one at that]. He went on to ask me what my favourite anime was, to which I answered ‘Hayate, The Combat Butler’, only to have him reply ‘Oh, you mean Hayate no Gotoku, ne?” [Imagine someone saying Hayate no Gotoku in a pasty, white, accent]. I returned the favour by asking him what his favourite was; to which I was answered ‘Naruto’ [Not that I didn't expect this answer].
Setting my Skype display name to ’サヤンタン’ didn’t seem to be a bright idea now, since this guy apparently believed me to be a master of the Japanese language, peppering his language with random Japanese words such as ‘Shishou’, to ‘kirei’ (which he pronounced the same as ‘kirai’) to ‘mannenhitsu’ (OK, I lied). Here’s a sample:
‘You like shounen too, ne?’
“Sometimes’
‘The fighting scenes make my heart go doki doki’ (At first I thought, >Doki, but then I went ಠ_ಠ )
‘I’m sorry, I didn’t get you’
‘I said that the fighting scenes are really exciting, you should try Naruto, you’re missing out on a lot, Sakura is so kawaii and Itachi is so deep malmlafm….’
He didn’t forget to say ‘Sayonara’ before disconnecting.
So, who is to blame for this? Someone once told me:
“Whether they choose to make it for your benefit by offering constructive criticism, or not and just be a dick about it, it is helpful for the community for people fluent in Japanese to let the rest of us know which groups have good translation and which ones don’t so we know which ones to place more/less trust in (for reference, I go by the evaluation of a few fluent friends rather than random public opinions, but still).”
Yeah… I can see where fansub Japanese has taken you. Stay class, Non-Asians.
