I think derogatory labels are bad in general .. But!
Let's all admit that there are some pretty creepy people out there. Like, seriously, they freak me out .. people that have wrapped themselves so tightly into their hobbies and this personal reality based on fiction that they then overlay that over real life. It's not like I can't intellectually understand the logic of it -- considering how dull ordinary life can be perceived to be, getting enjoyment and stimuli (of all sorts..) from entertainment is all well and good, barring the fact that people can slip and fall into a trap where these fictional realities feel less real than their real lives.. tl;dr -- Everything in moderation. Calling people names is bad.. however if someone calls you a name -- you should self-reflect to make sure there isn't a reason for it.

I generally reserve the term weaboo to individuals who try to, and act "Japanese" (however they feel that is possible) despite obviously having little knowledge on their culture or much else about anything Japanese.

The 3rd reminds me of some comments during Hanasaku Iroha, where a person seemed to think one of the characters shouting "Get some! Get some! Get some!" while firing a hose at some dudewas a reference to another anime (Canaan), rather than being a full metal jacket reference (when the psycho door gunner was shooting up civilians).

It's one of the reasons I started to dislike Sankaku. With regards to cosplay, many people automatically think that Asians are the best coslayers and are always perfect and Caucasians would always fail. Mostly it's because they compare cosplay idol pictures to casual con goer pictures.

If they went to the Comic Market in Japan and looked at all those cosplays, they'd realize that Sturgeon's Law applies EVERYWHERE! There are plenty of crappy cosplays done by Japanese, probably more than American because japanese cosplay anime more since theyve been doing it for longer! And there are plenty of non-Asians who do profesional shoots too and they loook amazing! Weeaboos! Fuck! |

It's just another derogatory term that joins the others like fob, white washed, etc. Should not be used ever, but I'm not gonna lie, I've used some of the "less" derogatory terms (if that's even possible) under my breath. It's not that I mean to put down people, it's just weird or awkward seeing them and one just has to say it I guess. But I would definitely do and agree on with what willx said.

People who call for war and the destruction of another nation despite never having been in the military, let alone the fucking frontlines or experienced a firebombing up close should be autoclaved alive like the pathogens they are

Really? They say so much about how they love Japanese cartoons so much then hate on Japan? Meh, I bet they just use stuff like that for their god awful yellow journalism that always, no matter what, manages to involve sex and a picture of mostly naked woman in the title. |

Sankaku is HILARIOUS. I think the authors purposely wrote it in the trollish and sarcastic way to garner hits.
There is always a massive dose of irony and caustic sarcasm in the posts, although politically incorrect. If I guess, it is meant to jab at the otherwise straight laced nature of the Japanese society. Quote:

Remember the hawk who got sacked from the JASDF who held a protest? There ARE ex-military hawks that are reminiscent of Major Kong from Dr Strangelove. These crazies are everywhere.

As a Japanese, it's INCREDIBLY ANNOYING to have someone walk up to me and throw random terribily placed, otaku-flavored Japanese words, in absolute terrible pronunciation, and completely out of place in context.
In those times, words like 'weeaboo' does cross my mind. You wanna hear genuine "Japanese and English mashed up" conversation, just watch me talk to my mother and sisters. Then again, I'm also terribly annoyed when I correct someone or provide information to be called a weeaboo. I understand you can't see "race" through the mask of the internet, but seriously, STFU. As for the usage of the word.. In general any insults are obviously not going to be plesantly recieved, duh.
