Hmm. Mainland Chinese and Taiwanese seem to think knowing *anything* authentic about Asia is cool—so it doesn't seem to apply there. SE Asians do not much like Weeb-ism. As for Koreans, many of them just start talking to me in Japanese, and I regret ever even mentioning anything about it.😓

You are far more experienced than I am with direct asian culture. While I have asian friends IRL, they are americanized. And My personal experience with asian culture is mostly due to StarCraft. And the expression of rage when they are bested in their own game. And also ofcourse sushi, bulgogi, and chinese food.

That's just the thing. My father ran a side business selling obscure Japanese computers when I was young. I watched *Robotech* on VHS cassette while sipping Sapporo Ichiban in elementary school. You don't feeling like you're turning Weeb until suddenly it sneaks up on you!😜

Regardless of what anyone may call anyone else as a term, like weeb. Labeling and categorizing people into groups works both ways. There is nothing wrong with being a weeb or called a weeb, or any other label. There is nothing wrong with having varied interests, regardless of others preconceived notions.
