For starters, I follow this blog for the insane amounts of humor that comes from it. However, I didn’t particularly think that I’d be posting on here. So, here goes.
I work at a Food Lion in Tennessee. Now, for those who don’t know anything about Tennessee, let me start by saying you aren’t missing much. There’s mountains, beer, smelly redneck people who are practically a culture of their own, John Deere, and some more beer. Towards what you would call the “inner city” of my town, though it’s not particularly big, there reside the few normal people like myself.
So, I work at this Food Lion, right? Well, it’s on the outskirts sort of. Not really in town, but not really on the mountain either. (It’s ironically next to my old high school, which is actually in a mountain valley. lol.) Well, the kids in this area are completely fascinated by anything with more interest than a blade of grass. When I was in school, the weaboos and whatnot strayed and stayed at MTAC. I knew of a few friends who had obsessions, but I’ve never had that joy of running into an actual weaboo myself. Until a few hours ago.
I enjoy anime. When I was younger, I was raised on shows like Tenchi, Sailor Moon, Outlaw Star, and Cowboy Bebop. You know, what could be considered classics are far as popularity and whatnot. I watch it on my own, and I don’t really associate too hard with people who like it, even my friends. I just enjoy it more by myself. I prefer certain genres, while they like things like Hetalia and whatnot. That’s just not my thing. I’ll stick to some Trigun, thanks. My obsession, however, comes not from anime, but from KPop.
Truth be told, I just really like asian music as a whole. Chinese, Korean, Japanese, Thai, and whatever else you throw at me. I get so bored with the same shit being produced in the states, and there’s always something cool or different about the music produced overseas. (And i’m not just talking about the language difference either, lol.)
There’s a popular group called SHINee, and they have these pictures (I’m not sure where they’re from as I’m not a huge fan of them, and I don’t stan them) of them in these animal pajamas. The main vocalist, Jonghyun, wore these cute tiger pj’s. I’m incredibly familiar with them because I just recently got a pair for my younger sister, who adores the group, especially Jonghyun. (Oh, the days of fangirling when you’re young lol)
So, I’m at work. These two girls walk in, one of which was wearing a pair of Jjong’s tiger PJs. As I said, I’m incredibly familiar with these. I don’t know where they’re from, but the tiger set is a set i’ve seen consistantly for the last week or so. lol. So, they get in my check out line, and the two girls are talking. There’s a bit of a putrid smell lingering in the air, but I blow it off figuring it was one of the other customers. As I said, people in this area apparently aren’t familiar with personal hygiene. So, I casually comment. ”Hey, nice pjs. I bought some for my sister. Are you a Shawol, too?” (Shawol is SHINee’s fanclub.)
This girl looks at me with the most incredulous face. The other girl just rolls her eyes and walks away. I’m sitting there holding a box of soap (irony at its best), trying to figure out what the hell I said wrong. She looks at me and goes, ”Excuse me. I do not associate with that Korean stuff. These pajamas are from Hetalia. Except I really like tigers, so I found these.”
So I said, ”Oh, well I know they’re the ones Jonghyun has from SHINee. That’s why I commented. Er, sorry about the mixup.” Mind you, I’m being polite. I don’t like nasty teenagers with nasty attitudes.
I continue scanning their items, and she continues to give me the death glare. Then, and of all things she could say, she goes, ”You know, Korean’s make the Japanese look bad. Only Japanese can cosplay and do it right. One day, when I’m in Japan writing manga, I’m going to make sure Korean’s don’t like it. In fact, I’ll make fun of them.. What’s my fucking total?”
Needless to say, I was angry. Instead of checking them out, I literally walked away. Left everything as it was, and walked away.
I don’t care if your a fan of anime, Kpop, or anything related to the Asian culture. Have respect. Also, don’t be a fucking idiot. Thanks!

As a required part of college, I’m suppose to take a few semesters of a language course. Being a quarter Japanese I decided on good old “Nihongo” because I felt I could learn better knowing I could practice within the family.
On the first day, we were asked why we decided on one of the most difficult language we could possibly learn. The majority response, “To watch Anime without subtitles” or “To read Japanese Manga.” I rolled my eye at the thought that most of my class being weebs, but it was eventually put to the back of my mind. But it wasn’t until this girl, let’s call her P, who would always resurrect that tumor-us thought.
She would wear rather obscure clothing and sit in the corner of the room and read her manga while the professor taught the class. And the way she spoke…I swear based on the way she sounded, her motivation for taking the class to be a anime voice actor from Japan. It was like listening to a Japanese school girl if she had her voice box has been thrown into a blender.
Eventually we got to a section of Japanese 1 where we learned about different form of questions. Today’s example, the “WHO” form. An exercise we did that day involved one person sitting facing away from the rest of class and would try to guess another person in a class based on the sound of their voice, who would say “Who am I?” in Japanese.
One boy, we’ll call him Y, was chosen to sit in the chair and guess while P was picked to be the speaker. Now the other students would actually have trouble making out the voices, since we all really didn’t know one another, and would have 3 guess before we switched people. But once P opened up her mouth of Sugoi he immediately knew and responded with out skipping a beat, “P-san”.
She was flustered as to how she was guessed correctly so quickly and asked with a shrill, “HOW DID YOU KNOW?” To which Y responded, “Because you’re the only voice in this class that sounds like an anime girl.” I was shocked at how blatantly honest he was, but sadly it was the truth. She, of course, pouted the rest of the class and hid her nose in one of her mangas trying to ignore everyone else. And I never saw her again after that semester.

I've got something to add. Anipodium made a new chart, still retarded and bad as fuck - just like it's user.
Oh come on Adore, everyone knows already that anime are made for braindead idiots (Otakus and Weeaboos), so of course it must be dumb. And yes, almost all anime are very stupid
Not like you should complain about the stupidity of others
Oh Adore, did you started with the jogging already? You know, you can always run to your father on saturdays. There you can sleep after that the whole time and don't need to cry because your stepmother was so mean again!
