About a year ago, my girlfriend and I sold in artist’s alley for the the first time. It was a small convention, but the size did not keep the crazies out. We both were into anime quite a bit when we were in high school, but have more or less grown out of it. Since we’re not that into it any more it can be a challenge sometimes to hold conversations with our customers. Mostly it’s fine, but every so often we get the intense weeaboo kids.

I had to sit helplessly and watch as my girlfriend was beset by the most intense Inu-Yasha fan EVER! How did I know she was the most intense? Because she told us so. For 10-15 minutes she stood in front of our table, going on…and on… and ON. She had such great quotes as “I’m here with my friends over there, but they’re not really my friends, they just don’t understand him.” “I spend all of my free time reading the manga and watching the show.” “Inu-yasha is, like, my LIFE.”

She was also wearing a strange almost-cosplay, though it may have just been a red shirt and pants and a beanie with ears on it. We’ve tried to block it from our memories. Eventually she wandered off as though lost.

We have over 100 followers! Thank you so much!

As I’ve been saying, I’d really appreciate it if you’d promote this blog over weeabostories! Please submit any weeaboo stories you have and encourage your friends to do the same!

I’ve been slacking on my own duties of reblogging actual stories from weeabostories, so if you guys help me out with promoting then I’ll be sure to step up my game too!

Once again, thank you so much <3 This blog is all for you.

I draw in an anime/manga style, and I often put my WIP’s and finished works on my facebook, for friends to critique and stuff.

About a year ago, I got a random friend request from someone who said they liked my art. I accepted, ‘cause I was kinda happy I had a fan. They commented on my art, saying how “kawaii desu” it was. It annoyed me a bit, but I didn’t say anything and thanked them every time.

One day, they suddenly commented on one picture with “so how is japan?” I was confused and told them I had never been to Japan. They quickly replied back with “but your japanese!!” I explained to them that I was Chinese, and immediately, they started yelling at me, saying how only Japanese people should be able to draw manga, and by the end of the conversation, he was referring to me as a “damn commie”.

I immediately blocked him and deleted the more profane comments from the photo, but I’ll never forget the impact it had on me. I’ve been trying to branch away from the manga style, though it’s not easy.

I know this guy. For the sake of people who I know follow this blog who know this person IRL, let’s call him D. What I’m about to tell, I cannot make this shit up. D is talk, white, and lanky, and the general spitting image of high school nerds on television, who are in Chess Club and wear pocket protectors and pants that hit the top of their ankles. He’s 24 and he’s a computer programmer. Also, he likes to pirate dating sims and play MMOs like Aion and something called Goblin Quest or something like that.

I met D through a friend of mine, G. D used to have the biggest crush on G but she turned him down and he turned his attention to some underaged chick but that is an entirely different story. Once, G, G’s boyfriend L, me and D were at iHop just hanging out and talking. Everytime we would talk about a topic, D would respond with, “Oh, ____? My girlfriend in Korea loves that.” or “Ugh, ______ is stupid, my girlfriend in Korea totally agrees with me.” or something of the like. It was never just ‘his girlfriend’, always his ‘Korean Girlfriend’.

Finally, L  got sick of hearing it and asked if he really had a girlfriend who lived in Korea. At that point, D whips out his iPhone and starts going through stock photos of Asia girls that were supposedly his girlfriend, recalling story after story about how his Korean Girlfriend is so cute and adorable, about her pet Pomeranian (which was also a stock photo), various webchats and so on and so forth. He must have thought we were stupid, the way he was going on and on and yet being so vague about details. G, L and I just kind of looked at each other and willed ourselves from laughing aloud.

Needless to say, I don’t talk to D much. Last I heard, he’s flying out to Chicago to meet up with not one, not two, but three of his Girlfriends from Korea.

I don’t even.

My last con I went to was Naka 10, and it was alright. I was russia, pretty bad though because i was only in 7th grade, but it was okay. I was a pretty happy go lucky russia, but i wasnt all “OMG OMG BELARUSSSS NUUU DONT TOUCH MEEE I BELONG WITH AMURRICAAA” I asked hungry con-goers if they had enough food, and if not i’d hand them a Cheetos bag and whatnot, but i came across this America. She was a little taller than me, with a t-shirt that had a flag on it, jeans, and it seemed that she obviously worked ten minutes on her cosplay. i asked her if she had enough food, and she snatched a pockey out of my bag, ate half of the package and gave it back to me. I shrugged it off, and asked her to become one with me, playfully of course. She flipped. Her. Shit.

“OMG, YOU ARE SOOOO STUPID, AMERICA OBVIOUSLY DESERVES TO BE LIEK, WITH ENGLAND, OMG HAVN’T YOU SEEN THE SHOW, YOU MUST BE RETARDED,” and this went on, for about ten minutes. I tried walking away but she just fallowed me until she gave up and talked to her weeboo Canada about how unsexy Russia is. FUN TIMES.

Okay, so I attend a VERY expensive art school here in California known as the Art Institute(there are many of them all over the US).  The tuition for the entire 3 years is around 94,000 dollars, so I take my work very seriously.  Others, however do not.

On Thursday, I was on break from my perspective class and I went into the student lounge.  One of the walls on the student lounge is painted white at the beginning of the quarter and the students, if they so desire, are allowed to draw on it.  Sometimes many beautiful pieces will show up there, and sometimes some cute and funny stuff.  Other times some major animu bullshit shows up.

As I looked at the wall, I made a comment to my friend about how some of the pieces had bad anatomy.  That when I hear this girl’s voice from the ground.  I looked down and what I saw was a girl, who was very chubby(but not hambeast material) in clothing that did NOT fit well.  She was drawing a very stereotypical animu drawing: a blue haired, wide eyed girl with massive tits wearing a school girl uniform.  She looked up at me and said, in a very rude tone, “WELL, it’s ANIME.  It doesn’t HAVE to HAVE ANATOMY.”

I wasn’t even TALKING to her and she had to take an attitude with me.  Not wanting to have to clean blood off of the walls, I went back to class.  As a fan of anime, and animation in general(which is my major), not ONLY was I totally insulted by this idiot’s stupidity, but I completely blown away by the fact that this bitch has that kind of mentality.  I hope she gets her ass handed to her in the anatomy class that she will have to take later on at the school she is paying 94,000 dollars to attend.

A few years ago, I was a weeaboo. I don’t deny it, although it was a dark time indeed. I would go around spouting Japanese phrases because I thought it made me look smart and everything. I also said “NANI?” in varying tones and volumes because I thought it made me sound KAWAII DESU NE. Bluhg.

Now, I had a friend who liked anime and manga too, but not a weeaboo by any definition of the term. So I gravitated towards her, naturally.

And she cured me.

She actually cured me.

One day, she finally got sick of my “Nani?”-ing, so she proceeded to threaten me.

“I SWEAR TO F*CKING GOD, IF YOU SAY NANI ONE MORE TIME, I WILL RIP OUR YOUR URETHRA AND SHOVE IT DOWN YOUR THROAT.”

Naturally, that shut me up for a while. When I started again, she proceeded to answer with yet more vile threats. While doing this, she had me read actual literature.

After about a week of this, I was cured.

I’m still amazed that it was only a week. It was amazing. Totally amazing.

I apologized, and we are still friends today.

Truefacts.

 Most people know me currently as a very feminine guy, when I’m actually a transman. I’m not very open about it, but I pass well and appear to be a 13-14 year old boy, which is fine with me. But recently I decided to join some online communities for LGBT people and you know. Mingle. I wanted more trans friends and I felt like the gay community is going to be the best place to make friends, amirite?

No. I’m not. It was a terrible idea. Weaboo’s everywhere. I’m transsexual. I’m also attracted to men. This is just who I am, and I don’t identify as a “gay guy”. I identify as a guy, who likes other guys. “Gay guy” is not an identity, and if it is that’s depressing. But on forums there were a lot of bi anime fangirls who seemed to not understand this. On an LGBT youth website they would talk about yaoi and post links to it (the site clearly said no porn) and call me a crossplayer. While I was wearing my normal clothes, with my natural hair and eyes, and talking about whatever I wanted to. I don’t know. I was understandibly angry, but whatever. They also said “although I would be a cute uke, I’d need a penis for it to work.” I left after that, because I mean wow. Yeah. They don’t know anything, and I didn’t feel like explaining stuff.

What really irked me though were some other trans people. I met many a ftm who had gone from a “proud yaoi fangirl” to a representation of their character. For example, A guy I know went by Sasu Uchimaki. Like naruto. They cut their hair to look like Saskue and then drew on their face those cat whiskers. 

 Another one is a south park fan, who changed everything to become the character Kyle. Dyed their hair, bought the hat, changed their religion, and transitioned genders. I saw the same for someone named Kenny. 

These kids are young, like 12-13. They “became” trans a few months ago. It’s not restricted to transgender kids either, I’m sure girls decide to become their female oc or favorite character and vice versa. But they don’t realize the danger, hardships, dysphoria, and exclusion that comes because they wear cosplay *every day*. (I’m sorry, I think dressing up like Kyle and Naruto and Sasuke’s lovebaby everyday counts as cosplay) 

Weaboo’s are fun to read about, but fuck. I don’t like dealing with them at all.

Last year, I went to a convention in Northern Florida, a beginning con at a University that I was looking into. At the time, I was cosplaying Hetalia, and I was pretty sure I knew what I was getting myself into. Two of my friends were hosting a Hetalia photoshoot, dressed and the baby versions of America and Cananda, while I was there as England, the “dad” figure.

When we first got to the area where the con was being held, we decided to walk around so we would know where everything was. This closet-cosplayer in an America jacket tackled me. From pretty much nowhere. Stepped on my foot. Almost broke one of my toes. When she pulled away and turned to her friends I limped away as fast as I could, trying not to be mad.

A few hours later, we finally go to the photoshoot, and guess who’s there? Same girl. She screams, “Iggy!” and tries to jump me again. Fortunately, I saw her coming and I caught her under her arms and shoved her away from me. I said, “Please don’t jump on people you don’t know,” but before I could even finish she rushed away, crying a little. She and her friends proceeded to give me dirty looks until the shoot was over and we all left.
