Crazy Fangirl Desu [ tw: sexual harassment, slurs...
When I was in 7th grade, I only had a few friends and was extremely shy. I was secretly into anime and manga, and only had one other friend, N, who watched anime. N and I were sitting in the school library in the morning talking about Ouran High School Host Club when this girl decked out in a neon green tutu, a black t-shirt advertising some J-rock band and rainbow leggings walks over.

Jealous Much?!
Before I start, you need to know a bit about me. Even though I’m a Chinese through and through, my surname was one of the rarer ones which sounded a lot like a Japanese word. Hence I’ve had my fair share of people assuming as such.
Classes just changed and there was this new student. He wasn’t shy of letting known his interests in anime and all things otaku, and openly shared it...

College Student Oddities
Apparently some people never grow out of their weeb phase. Even in a senior-level class of a State University.
I’m going to call this particular classmate of mine “V” rather than his full name. V is in the same major program as me, Technical and Professional Writing and Editing. Sounds like a mouthful, right? One that we have to act and write professionally for, right? Apparently not.

Dave, My (unlikely) Hero
This year I went to my first con. It was an amazing experience and I wish I had more time to go. We went on Saturday only, just for a day. I had scraped together my money to by a cosplay. It was Egypt, one of my favorite Hetalia characters.
I will say one thing, I am short, very much so, and at the convention, I told my parents I wanted to explore on my own. They agreed, so I went to explore, I...

I see London, I see France [ tw: assualt ]
I have always loved French culture; the language, the food, the art, ad architecture. I also happen to have very blonde hair and very blue eyes.. consequently I make a pretty good France. There is quite the stigma surrounding France cosplayers I’m afraid.. but let me assure you that I have never groped or made unwanted contact with someone else.
One day this went too far. At my second ever...

The Con Creeper
Okay, back in March 2012, I went to a con with my best friend. Let’s call him Matt. Matt and I were both cosplaying as characters from Persona 4. I was Yukiko while he was Souji. Now we were at this one panel and while we were waiting for it to start, a man who was probably around 35 or something sat next to me. He recognized our characters and started talking to us. I’ll name him...

bitch-dave
So I was at a con with my girlfriend about a year and a half ago. We were out of state, waiting to meet up with some friends, but in the mean time we just kind of sat around and got a coffee. While we were waiting a girl comes up to us with a companion.
The girl had on bunny ears and looked pretty damn happy to see me and my girlfriend (we were dressed as John and Dave from homestuck. The...

Brief Interruption From The Moderator
Hi there everyone, just wanna start by saying sorry for the sporadic updates, parsing long stories is somewhat of an arduous task nowdays (I’ll try to do better!). Anyway, this blog is dedicated to bringing you a bullshit free weeaboo story experience. Since we started, we’ve kept a strict policy of not talking about ourselves or straying too far off topic. However, I’m making an...

Red/Yellow Card project →
I came across this, and I don’t believe this link has been posted before, so for everyone here, I’ll just drop this link.
It is essentially a service to inappropriate and also awesome fans who you encounter, willingly or not, while at conventions. Easy to get the message across to people you meet. :)

Hetalia Hot Topic
So, I’m at the mall today with my cousin, Elise. She wants to go into Hot Topic, so I agree and go in with her. I’m wearing my red hammer and sickle shirt. I capture the attention of two young women, who just stare at me creepily.
I smile nervously at them and waggle my fingers and notice something: They’re wearing Hetalia t-shirts.
One girl smiles and squeals,...

Belarus
For those who don’t know, Belarus is the stereotypical ’yandere’ character in Hetalia who is obsessed with marrying her older brother Russia. I had never ran into weeaboos at a convention before but I met the worst Belarus cosplayer the last convention I went to.
Her wig looked like she bought it at party city and she harassed the Russia cosplayers. At first, when we were all...

"Just like Canada Desu~"
Halfway through eighth grade, I moved to a new school. I became pretty great friends with a group of girls, who got me interested in Hetalia. None of us were really OBSESSED, or really classified as weeaboos. But there was this one girl, we’ll call her S.
S had the biggest crush on Canada (Her DeviantArt favorites were literally all pictures or ReaderXHetalia fics) and it was really just...

I Thought You Were a Little Boy...
Earlier this year, my parents took me to my first Expo. I had decided to wear my favourite boy-Lolita outfit (which involved ruffled just above the knee shorts, a blouse, binder and a little pirate hat) and the day was going pretty well. My parents decided to go and get food, and left me to wander around with a bit of cash for a while. I was looking at the plush toys for a while, mainly a Ciel...

Dirkaboo
I went to a con near the beginning of summer as Dave Strider. I was at the Homestuck fan shoot (so no staff was there). While I was waiting for my character to be called, the cosplayer behind me, who I will call Dirk, introduced himself. He seemed friendly enough, and asked questions here and there. No big deal, it got creepy pretty fast after we had been talking, he started making perverted...

Loli-cons, Rude Entrances, and Uncomfortable...
When I was in high school, there was this guy (I’ll call him Jay) that had a tremendous crush on me. Jay was indeed an huge weeb, two years older than me, and a lolicon. He called me his “loli”. I’m a very petite, flat chested, skinny korean girl, that fit into his perverted lolita fantasies. Sometimes he would ask me if he could dress me up in different skimpy maid...

kasome asked: Hello! I love reading the stories that you guys post. I wanted to know if it's okay if I used a few of them in a panel for an upcoming convention? It's part of a documentary that we're doing about anime fandom in America and we need contrast to show that there's a difference between anime fans and weeaboos.

Okay, guys. Let’s get one thing straight: HETALIA IS FICTIONAL.
You cannot use it as an excuse to stalk someone.
Good, now that that’s out of the way, give me the soapbox.
Hi, I’m Mary, girlfriend/future fiancee of this boy Oliver whose story I’m about to tell. I made a tumblr with the sole purpose of telling this story, so all of you can understand that this is fucking...

Pants the Hedgehog
When I was in middle school, I rode the school bus with a boy a grade ahead of me who I’ll call Pants. Pants was obsessed with the Sonic the Hedgehog series. And not just a little bit obsessed. Pants was obsessed to the point where he insisted vehemently to all of his classmates that he was actually a hedgehog, and that in a secret lab experiment, he’d been given the capability to...

"Onee-chan" [ tw: sexual harassment ]
When I was in 8th grade, I rode the bus home with my friends (whom I will call Mike and Mark). There was always a kid that showed up, but it wasn’t a while before I recognized him as someone I met in summer camp and invited him to sit down with me. (I’ll call him Dave.) It turned how he was a pretty big anime and K-Pop fan and he seemed like a cool person.
Shortly after he got off the...

"You're gay, so you'll love my comics!"
This happened during a photography class last winter. We were in groups shooting portraits in two different studios. My girlfriend and I were in one studio while our friend Alex was shooting in the other. Alex pays us a visit and tells us about what had just happened in the other studio. He tells us that he was approached by our classmate, Laura.
He tells us that while they chatted she told him...

Anonymous asked: How do you pronounce 'weaboo'? In my head it's two syllables and the 'a' just gets swallowed. Is it supposed to be three syllables, like in the picture on top? Wee-ah-boo? And if so, where's the stress? Wee-AH-boo? WEE-a-boo? I am so confused.

Pikachu Uses Repel
Alright then, here’s my weeaboo story. Now, I enjoy anime and manga, to an extent. I’m not obsessed. Well, this year was my second time going to an anime con in a nearby city. I love going, and it’s always very fun. I also decided to try cosplaying this year, something simple. I sewed up a Pikachu costume, and for someone as young as myself it was pretty good.
Everything was...

Suits and Sebas-chan
The community lake. Small in size, large in soccer moms, little kids, and obnoxious teenagers. Overly sterile yet managing to have the filthiest bathrooms in the state. Not what would be considered an ideal hangout area.
But my friends and I went there anyway. I don’t know - nostalgia? But anyway, there we were, sweating in the hot sun and getting irritable and squabbling over dropped coins and a...

Behind the ahoge, glasses and blue eyes... [TW:...
I honestly know nothing about anime/ manga/ “kawaii-desu-ness”. I had only finished watching APH about a year ago. I loved the series- I’ve always loved history and to find someone able to poke fun at it was different!
I used to live in England and I moved just about a year and a half ago to the southern half of America. So I was this nervous white girl with a horrendously thick accent going to a...

"Miku-chan! Miku-chan!" [ tw: rape ]
I went to a convention, dressed as Miku. I didn’t expect anything to go wrong. I wear glasses because my eyes cross without them. Lots of people say they were cute, so I smiled and said they were real. At one point I was standing around when I felt someone passionately tap my shoulder, so I turned to see who.
His hair was greasy and messy, his face was smothered in pimples, and seemed to...

friend of a friend
At first glance, one couldn’t tell that Zee was a weeaboo. I met her freshman year of high school; we all went to a big Catholic school, and since everyone wore the same uniform (plaid skirts or blue pants and a white shirt), we all looked pretty much the same. Okay, so maybe Zee was wearing a Naruto headband—how was I supposed to know how creepy she was?
Zee immediately became part of our...

Japanese Royalty
I used to be a pretty big fan of manga and anime when I was in middle school, and I still read/watch the good ones every couple weeks or so. I’m more into K-Pop right now, but not so much that I spend all my time on it. I just don’t get how fans of any genre/thing/whatever can get so delusional to the point where they make up things about their lives, and this is where one of my...

"My real life futa..." [ tw: cissexism ]
Some back story. I am MTF. Due to the fact that I’m 17, I’m not on any hormones yet. I am, however, blessed with looking fairly feminine naturally (which I’m grateful for). I also do like anime, but not very much. It’s not a huge interest of mine at all.
I have a neighbor. He’s 21 years old. When he moved in, he decided to meet everyone who lived around him, which...

Why I Can Never Look at Anime the Same Way Again [...
I met this guy on MySpace around five years ago. I was in eleventh grade, was in the anime club, had weeby friends, so on and so forth. However, unlike those friends, this guy… was unique. To say the least. He went beyond the garden variety weeaboo. No, his insane demeanor was a level above that.

Gave an inch and they (tried) to take the mile.
This story opens during my freshman year of high school. I had gone to a different high school than everyone I knew during middle school, so I was eager to start meeting new people. One day, during Biology, we’re assigned lab partners for the semester and mine is a girl that we’ll call “Ellie”. We’re given some busywork assignment to familiarize ourselves with...

The "Kawaii" Yaoi lover from hell.
There aren’t a whole lot of anime/manga fans at my local high school. There’s no club or anything, which I really didn’t have an problem with. Being a “normal” fan of anime, I’ve met and seen a lot of really messed up weeaboos over my years. Luckily, that happened mostly just in middle school with an large anime club and “Cosplay-Day”.
But my high...

Vehicular Manslaughter Card in Attack Mode
There used a store in the local mall for tabletop and card-gaming. Every Thursday was Yu-Gi-Oh Night, and my cousin and her husband used to go. I would sometimes show up to bum around the mall with my cousin whilst her husband played.
The crowd that attended Yu-Gi-Oh Night was a pretty wide group in terms of both age and subculture: You had some hardcore anime fans who proudly flaunted hats with...

Weeaboo goes to Japan for Study Abroad Program
My friend Lee has decided to study abroad in Japan the last year of her bachelor’s program. She left in November and is coming back this July. She told me on Skype everything that happened up until mid February, when one of the students got sent back for extremely rude behavior. It started on the plane…
Lee boarded the plane, and everything was fine. It was filled with what you...

Attacked and bitten.
Ok I admit, I love anime, manga and lolita. So naturally I decided to go to a con just for the heck of it, and to take pictures as my life as a photographer was taking off.
So I got to the con, paid and started taking pictures, and even though all I had on was a sailor moon t-shirt to feel ”in with the others” I got asked to give a hug to someone. Naturally as a kind gesture, I said...

Trampled by Weeaboos....Literally.
It’s petrifying when you’re staring death in the face, especially when death is in the form of forty deranged fangirls who’ve gone batshit up the belfry for Hetalia. This is my horrifying Weeaboo story, and I’m sticking to it.
My friend and I were at AX 2010. Our cosplay consisted of my 6 foot tall friend (let’s call him “W”) dressed like one of the...

poor cherry trees
Back in 2008 I went to the a cherry blossom festival in NYC. They have it every year at the Brooklyn Botanical gardens. While I went there to see the blossoms and the Japanese traditional performances, it seems that the local weeaboos decided this was an outdoor anime convention. Girls wearing thin yukatas even though it was jacket weather outside and cosplayers everywhere.
I think the cherry on...

Foreign Exchange Students - Just Like Hetalia
Jackie is a Hetalian, but also takes it to the extreme. I’ll describe her story from the perspective of two exchange student friends of mine, who went back to their respective nations a while back.
The first one, Katya, was from St. Petersburg, Russia. She came from a family of baby-faced, white-haired beauties, and of course, upon watching Hetalia, became one of the best Fem!Russia cosplayers...

Yaoi Paddles
It happened at London Expo a couple years back. I was part of a big Team Fortress Two group dressed as a fem Scout.
It happened when I was walking down the expo center hallway with a new friend I had made. While walking, I suddenly feel a very sharp, searing pain in my backside. Instinctively, I turn around and there’s a group of people in cosplay with a Yaoi paddle, waving it at us and...

We’re going to start the story off with the kid I’ll call “KK”.
So the story begins with KK first coming to the school and joining my english class. I have some of the horoscope signs on my bag so he asked me if I liked homestuck. As a normal response that I assumed a normal person would take lightly I said I did and then proceeded to say “oh and you can call me Dave.” Granted I was wearing my...

Foot Fetish Photographer

I was at a con recently and met up with two girls that were cosplaying as two characters from the same series as me. After a bit of chatting, we were approached by this neckbeard with a serious looking camera who asks if he can take a picture of us. We all agree and he starts giving us directions on poses to take.

Art Store Weebs
A bit of backstory before I begin—I met my best friend, Li in first grade. She had just moved to America from China with her mom, Mai. Li was struggling with her English, so I helped her with it. Because I spent so much time with her, I picked up a good amount of Chinese. When Li and I started middle school, we both enrolled in Chinese classes, so I’m semi-fluent in Chinese. I’m...

Touhou Tragedy

The day of the gathering, a much taller cosplayer (I’m 4’9) offered to help me...

Nazis are sugoi
A few years back, I went to a rather local convention. This was when Hetalia had first arisen as a popular anime, so at least half of the convention seemed to be made up of Hetalia fans.
I was just sitting around, so I decided to call my mom. She had just recently gotten severe back surgery. I figured checking up on her would be a pretty cool guy idea.
As I started the phone conversation, I...
