Look, I know there exists a certain stereotype of the “Weeb”, as an overweight bearded man obsessed with Anime, unemployed, living in his parent’s basement surrounded by hentai posters and waifu body pillows. I’ve met this kind of person before, they do exist.

But this is still just a stereotype, and it absolutely does not apply to the vast majority of Anime watchers. I know plenty of professionally and socially successful people who love geeking out about Anime. It’s really hard to think of any of them as losers.

The real losers I’ve met in life are the intensely negative assholes that always have an excuse for hating other people. The people who decide that everyone who likes something they don’t must be stupid. Nothing says “loser” like your brand of antisocial close-mindedness.

If it makes you feel better thinking everyone else is a loser, more power to you, but everyone else sees who the real loser is.

To be a loser, you must first lose something. Like your sense of wonder and virginity.

Strange, because Wikipedia tells me that the highest-grossing Japanese film in Japan of all time was an anime, as were the next five and most of the others on the list:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_highest-grossing_Japanese_films#Highest-grossing_Japanese_films_in_Japan

That’s a whole lot of losers for one small country.

Of course, that’s just the highest-grossing Japanese film in Japan. The highest grossing film made anywhere in Japan is… the exact same anime, followed by another anime.

In Japan not everyone that watches anime is a weeb

Or are you disputing that they have other forms of entertainment?

For one, they’re not weebs they’re just anime otaku, but also that is only a subset of anime and it’s mostly just a judgemental stereotype. They have ads on the subway for birthday events for popular anime characters ffs. Many pachinko machines are anime themed, including after late night anime which are the negatively stereotyped ones. You know who doesn’t have enough money to be a profitable target for gambling establishments? People with no job living in a basement.

And that’s all while ignoring that pretty much no one chooses that life style voluntarily and I see no reason to make fun of these people.
