Contrary to popular belief, watching anime or
reading manga does not make a
wapanese. A wapanese s a person who takes it to that level where people look at them and feel a rising urge to punch them.
What they are: Mostly caucasians, that believe by watching untranslated japanese cartoons (anime), eating nothing but asian junk food they can buy online (
Pocky, assorted ramen and mountains of sweets) and in short, grabbing anything with the slightest trace of Japan, and in turn
shunning all western items, believing them to be inferior. A wapanese is a wannabe Japanese person. Often they know little to nothing about Japan (only what they've read), but hold a belief that it is the best country in the world, and harbour deep ambitions about living there, despite being unemployed and living with their parents.
What they think: That if indeed they did imigrate to Japan, they would be adored and revered and have women
fawning over them. Unlikely, as they are generally vastly annoying (And annoyingly vast).
Aso they believe that merely by watching Naruto, they can become Ninja.
Habitat: You will generally meet a lot of cool people at
anime conventions, who's lives are not ruled by the going on of
Tokyo Mew mew etc. but you can always spot the wapanese being a loud, disagreeable asshole, telling british artists that their drawings are not "TRUE MANGA", because they are not japanese. Also noticeable by the dreadful cardboard cosplay, that is
drooping and randomly
patched with
tinfoil.
What they could wear: Horrible tight T-shirts with japanese symbols that they don't understand (it could say 'KICK ME' for all they know.), or worse : Hello Kitty, who is in fact a british creation! Or the afore-mentioned cosplay.
In closing, anime and manga are fine, as long as you don't just love the japanese element. I like all comics, and animation. I don't care where it came from!
Wapanese give anime fans a bad name, so shame on them!
