Wait, you mean there's a group of people who like a thing that make the other people who like that thing embarrassed because this group of people is really annoying about how they like it?
Why does this scenario sound familiar...?
Sounds like Microsoft and Sony fanboys. Except the difference I perceive between the console war and weeaboos is that everyone is involved in the console war, whereas Weeaboos are generally considered the stereotypical anime fan in North America
Weaboos embarrass all anime watchers because of they way they act.
Sony Fanboys embarrass all Sony users because of the way they act.
Microsoft Fanboys embarrass all Microsoft users because of the way they act.
Loud, annoying 12 year olds embarrass all 12 year olds who play online because of the way they act.
Twilight fangirls embarrass the less-fanatical fans because of the way they act.
Mac fanboys embarrass Mac users because of the way they act.
Apply it to
anything and the outcome is the same. This is not an isolated condition. You know what rational people do when they find the thing they like is 'weighted down' by the fan base?
They ignore them and enjoy whatever it is they want to enjoy regardless. Who the hell cares what other people think about your hobby? Who the hell cares if it's respected or not? Watch it, enjoy it, and fuck all else, or
do you require mainstream approval before you can enjoy something?
