Your definition of a weebo...

This is my first topic and I wanted to know what was in your opinion that makes the difference between a person interested in living in Japan and someone who thinks Japan is like "One of my Japanese animes!". I got the idea from Sankaku Complex as the people of 2ch label ALL non-Japanese anime/manga fans as weebos... Its all about humor, but I want it to be as honest as possible. I want to know what makes a weebo. Okay I'll start: 1. If the only Japanese foods they know of are the ones featured in anime and manga if the brand is mentioned. Sushi, Pocky, and rice are not the only things the Japanese eat. 2. The only Japanese they know are the random exclamations of overly cute moe girls or some battle cry from some shonen anime. Buy My Japanese Coach if you want to learn that bad. 3. This annoys Spanish speakers too (since most people try to talk to someone after attaining a basic level of comprehension), but using inappropriate greetings learned from some anime as the characters are familiar with each other rather than you with that person. 4. The collecting of "samurai/ninja swords". Its just not cool. 5. Wearing clothing with an anime/manga character or having Kanji or Kana on the shirt. People wear things without knowing the meaning (Japanese make this mistake too as they have English on their cloths too). Now to be honest I've never been, but I want to live there and give out some ideas for anime/manga that would be destroyed by American publishers as well as eat more authentic Japanese cuisine. I missed my chance in high-school, but visiting a temple would make my day.

They have some affiliation with "anime." Why the fuck does it need a "proper" definition? So labeling would be easier? lol

Can you call someone a "weebo" if they study travel guides and say they want to go to Japan?
NO!
Can you call someone a "weebo" if they say that they like some anime because it passes the time?
NO!
Can you call someone a "weebo" if the only anime they know are the mainstreams that American channels (or any outside of Japan) show?
NO!
My father loves anime but dislikes the Japanese for their rudeness towards foreigners within, outside, and while in another country (like most other races).
Is he a weebo?
The term weebo is insulting to anyone who genuinely want to see the place that anime/manga came from.
