The Wapanese are a fascinating american phenomenon, most visible on college campuses. For anyone who believes that they are simply white kids emulating japanese kids, you have underestimated the complexity of the situation. These are white kids pretending to be japanese kids pretending to be white kids who are pretending to be black kids. I'm all for cultural interchange, but holy shit.
So on to the specific instance, anecdote, action through time I've pulled up a stool at the bar to relate; the college I attend has 2 anime clubs. As an aside, this school has a thriving overseas program with several sister schools in south east asia and the middle east. Between the 2 anime clubs, there are usually between 2-3 asian kids.
So why would a school who declared this years attendance, a little over eight thousand, as record setting in its history need 2 anime clubs?
Well, allow me to speculate. WEEABOOS ARE SO FUCKING UNLIKABLE THEY CAN'T EVEN TOLERATE EACH OTHER IN GROUPS OVER 5.
I don't even know how anime cons happen without erupting in Naruto debate inspired violence. I'm not saying that everyone who likes anime, or even everyone one at an anime con, is wapanese. It's the same kind of muslim/terrorist distinction.
The most visible sign of whatever personality cult clash lead to the schism of white kids who'll vomit on you if you say Japanimation; the stair well flyer wars. No fucking joke. During these first 4 weeks I've watched the competing, stupid ass naruto copypasta flyers for two competing clubs swell up in size and number, dance around eachother, move slowly closer to eachother in an attempt to intimidate the other flyer, and just generally make me wince like Danny DiVitos proctologist.
That's all.
Relax and enjoy.
