Title: "Weaboo"
Post by: Ptolemy on July 14, 2012, 10:05:22 pm
This didn't bother me for quite some time, but now that I've been starting to think about it I'm beginning to get irritated. It seems common place not only on the internet, but in this cRPG community to throw around the term "weaboo" for anyone who plays as a Japanese inspired character. I'm not complaining about people not liking Japanese people, I don't give a fuck if you don't like it. What I'm complaining about, is specifically the term "weaboo".

It is my understanding that "Weaboo" is a derogatory term for someone who indulges in Japanese or otherwise oriental culture. A quick google define search seems to corroborate this;

Quote
1.     Weaboo   
A negative term directed to anyone overly obsessed with Japanese culture
Quote
4.     Weaboo
Derogatory term for a cultured person, most affiliated with the Japanese culture
Quote
5.     Weaboo
1. The negative word for someone who is able to properly pronounce Japanese words, names, numbers, terms and honorifics/suffix.

Why I ask, are people allowed to repeatedly abuse these players (myself included) just for the way they like to play? Especially when the server rules expressly forbid such a thing?

Quote from: cmp/server rules
Behavior rules
No offensive behavior anywhere
Quote from: cmp/server rules
No abuse of in-game chat (racism, insulting, griefing...)

Frankly I see no difference between calling someone a weaboo or calling them a friend, gay, Jew or etc. None of which I condone and I only state for examples and not for the purpose of insulting anyone. Yet while these other terms will earn you at least a warning if not a ban, calling someone a weaboo will at worst get you a few +1's and some laughs at the insulted person's expense.

Kindly enforce your own rules correctly, that is all.



Incoming -1 shitstorm. (P.S. Fuck you people.)

I didn't know that a "negative" word (whatever that means) is automatically the same as racism.

Not sure why this bothers you. Its the internet. Its full of unimaginative insults and stupid memes that are repeated over and over by these comedy geniuses. And friend sems to be the only thing that gets anyone banned. I've seen jew thrown around and sometimes get banned. I don't think I've ever seen anyone get banned for using gay or bundle of sticks or cocksucker or basically any other insult, unless its in all caps and spammed over and over. The worst thing you can do is block someone's screen with a bunch of words. Other than that, its your usual selective enforcement. Get used to it. You could also just close the chat completely. I forget how though.

Also, I tink weaboo is a little less offensive than friend. I'd scream weaboo in a room full of larping samurai before I screamed friend basically anywhere with people.

So a cleverly disguised troll post in order to get to say "friend, gay, jew" on a public forum with no repercussions?  I've already submitted this thread to the head admins and I expect a permaban from forums and in game for this blatant abuse of the rules. 

Your false equivocation is transparently obvious as a troll.  Unless you think that calling someone who likes whiny music and dresses black a "goth" is the same as calling a black person a friend.  In which case, fuck you, you weeaboo piece of shit.

Yet my old friendcher is autocorrected on the forum, thus showing that the admins clearly accept this as offensive, where as weaboo is not.

Also regarding the spelling of the word, 1 or 2 e's is acceptable.

Its just that ppl dont like to use words with "phile" at the end.
Like, there are pedophiles out there, but everyone just calls them pedos.
Since you cant do that with ppl that are country-phile (you dont call francophiles francos...), you have to create a new - most likely shorter - term.

its not like nerd, geek, goth or any other word for "different" subcultures was ever meant to be positive...now move along...

Personally, I usually differ between things you can't chose and things you can.

You can't decide where you were born, what color your skin has or what your sexual preference orientation is.

You can, however, decide if you believe in god, gods, xenu, aliens, or japanese.

Ok, preference was a bad word.

"Sexual preference" may also suggest a degree of voluntary choice,[8][9] whereas the scientific consensus is that sexual orientation is not a choice.[10][11][12]

Nothing.

I only said that it's nonsense to say that your sexual orientation cannot change. People aren't born "straight" or "gay".
It's a complex thing in general, but unchangeable? I don't think so.

Now that this is out of my system, get over it and deal with it, its just another term for ''fanboy/fangirl''.

my old friendcher is not offensive, it was just spammed so bad that the dev got sick of it and swapped it. Just like Panos is beer and donkey is equus africanus asinus.

There's probably a few other swaps as well.

Not that my old friend and friend aren't swapped and there's plenty of way to type my old friendcher or Panos or Donkey

I just don't think people should get offended by words, at all. it almost feels immature since its something I grew out of at school, where even at age of like 12 everyone is verbally abusing each others mothers.

I mean I hate racism but even getting offended by the term friend is illogical.  In the past black was the offensive word and friend was the polite word, and it means black anyway.

there's nothing inherently offensive about words like fuck or friend, why should one word be offensive when another isnt and means the exact same thing. its only peoples perception of them, these words go in and out of fashion over time.

You flatter yourself if you consider yourself to be a way more mature adult than others here. Jet the very first post you made accused the admins of doing a bad job and you said alot of insult words at once. Also by accident(or not) you kinda said that the word "jew" is an insult, which im pretty sure will make a few more -1 on your posts.

The point is that the term "Weaboo" is funny. When we say it, we mean no insult by it. Again, as u said that the term "jew" is an insult. But to normal(nonoffensive) people the word "jew" means someone who is of jewish heritage and nothing else.

The term "weaboo" is not known to alot of people, but its a funny word and fun to say. Just cause you googled it and found out that in original context it was(is) slightly offensive and you feel that by all that accounts you also must feel offended, doesnt mean we should all stamp it as a massive hate word.

First point, the admins are doing a poor job since the rules call for a no-tolerance on insulting behaviour of any kind. If they don't intend to actually enforce a rule, it shouldn't be a rule. Otherwise we might as well have a rule for, e.g "no weapons", which everyone ignores anyway, it's essentially the same thing.

Secondly, the term "Jew", while being the proper name for someone of the Jewish persuasion, has been a commonly used insult for at least the last decade. Even watching a single episode of South Park will demonstrate this. (That's without taking into account the long history of racism against Jewish people.) It's not so much the term itself, but the context in which you mean the term. Also, it was an example.

Third, I don't see what's so funny about "weaboo". Does it make you giggle as you type it? I somewhat doubt it. Again, the meaning itself is debatable since it's a fairly new invention, but there is no mistaking that like "Jew", it has become a term that people use to degrade you and your actions/opinions.

Just because people think that being an asshole online is acceptable, doesn't make it the case.

Again....internet. Everybody insults everyone here. If the admins whould start banning, it would leave to like 10 people. But the word "weaboo" is hardly as harsh as you keep crying here. Harsh as the N word? No way man. Weaboo really isnt insulting an entire race or culture. Only white wannabe japanese whiteboys. If you dont like it, its your problem, deal with it.

Doesn't matter where he's from or if his mother's Jewish or not. Cartman still uses it in a derogatory fashion and is demonstrably anti-Semitic. Matt Stone is not his characters, but that doesn't mean that his characters don't do offensive things, hents the disclaimers before every episode. He also makes a point of showing (quite often) that this behaviour is *not okay*.

Everyone insults, I know. But if they're just going to ignore their own rules, then either they're bad admins, or the rule shouldn't be there. Since the rule *is* still there, that makes them, by default, bad admins.

Additionally, whoever added in the autocorrect is intentionally trying to insult me, there is no other reason to do it (to try to piss me off via an insult is still an insult and just adds credence to the fact that they are, in fact, poor admins as I've already stated). Too much to expect either admin or dev (seeing as I don't know which did it) to at least refrain from being complete jackasses.

If you're offended, you maybe shouldn't watch South Park. It also clearly states 16+. By the way, today anything is allowed in TV and that's good.

I'm not offended, I love South Park. I'm just saying that's the easiest place to find a reference to "Jew" being used in a derogatory fashion.

I've seen it morph from the "acceptable usage" that the majority of posters are giving the OP grief over, to be a generic insult for anything Asian.

The first is okay. The second is not.

Those using it in the second manner are hiding behind those who is it in the first in this thread.

So yes, there are people using it as a racist term, but the majority of those who use it are not being a racist.

Still, you people can stop pretending that you don't know that there is a minority that uses it that way  :rolleyes:

(Yeah, I called you all "You people"!!)

Nope, just that the general consensus among most retards is that if you trashtalk a certain country you're a ''racist''. Should've put quotation marks around it in the first place :P

Also, I hope you guys know how to understand and hate america, not americans.

If you hate someone because of where they live you're just being a regional bigot and should eat your own words.

The word "weaboo" is not racist. Its doesnt concern people from asian countries. A person who is called a "weaboo" is normaly a white/black European or American guy who is a huge fanbody of japanese stuff. Thats why I dont get the huge discussion. Its not racial or cultural hate. Its just a slightly different word for nerd. THAN WHY THE HELL is the creator of this thread trying soo hard to turn it racial or cultural hatethread?

How's this: instead of giving them a specific pejorative that describes their rapt fascination with a single topic, we just sweep it into the all-encompassing term for manchildren who love [THING] and obsess over it:

Any word used in a derrogatory way is offensive, that's a fact. But the devs dont punish people for using these words and some people think this is wrong. That's all.
