>>36077415I'll tie it to something you might be able to relate to more so maybe you can understand what I'm trying to get at better. There's weebs, there's self-hating weebs, and there's ironic weebs.
- Weebs are weebs, they genuinely like japanese stuff.
- Ironic weebs are people who have chosen weeb stuff as a form of edgy performance art, they will espouse the most extreme stuff as a way to get people to look at them but they don't really care about any of it
- Self hating weebs are people in the subculture who desperately want to be accepted by people outside of it so they will retreat at any friction at the expense of their own culture and try to smooth and generify it so that it is palatable so that the people they want might finally accept them.
It's kinda funny because you can see the difference in perspective between men and women just in this example. When women shit on "pick-me's" they consider them to be self-hating women, so desperate for male affection they will sell out their womanhood for dick. When men shit on "one of the guys" girls they consider them ironic men, being performatively extreme while not actually caring.
