Description: A giant snake lady sits in a lake. A man stands next to the edge of the lake and asks, "O snake of the lake, what is your wisdom?"
The snake replies, "Osamu Tezuka, the inventory of manga and anime, created old-school furry icons like Kimba and Bagi and had a secret collection of erotic furry art that he made which was only found after his death; so weebs are really just a human-focused offshoot of furries.
No. Weebs are people who are fans of Japanese culture in general, usually to an extreme; ignoring shortcomings of Japanese culture and politics in favor of a highly romanticized version of Japan. An anime fan might think Japan is cool, a weeb thinks Japan is some kind of magical fairyland where catgirls grow on trees.
It's like tankies vs communists and socialists.
Is there an equivalent term for people super into US culture? (I know the term if it exists would be different in different countries so more of a broad question)
I was in Taiwan a few months ago and something that really stood out to me were some of the people who would hang at starbucks and McDonald there. Some of them were basically fully decked in what I'd describe as California cosplay complete with very western cosmetic surgeries
There sure is! I usually see them referred to as "ameriboos" or "westaboos" (both are plays on "weeaboo", which is the full term that "weeb" is derived from).
I'm deeply fascinated by this I think I know what my next mini research binge is going to be about...
Holy shit, TIL my dentist growing up was a Westaboo!
...it was a joke, an attempt at humor using an absurd reference.
