excuse me??
so I'm not allowed to be pissed if some random girl in school
cosplays and talks to me in broken Japanese-English??
I'm not allowed to be pissed when she tells me that I'm not "accurately representing my culture" because I don't wear a sailor uniform to school?? Thanks.

@Jake and Lafiel:
Both of you have good points. You don't tell how to live someone else's life (Resetti really needs to learn that). As long as it's not harmful, you are free to do what you want. However, idolizing someone or something is pretty stupid too. Yes, people don't have to let the stereotypes apply. A woman can fly a plane or be a truck driver. A man can be a nurse or babysitter. But I find it stupid that some people like to idolize something. Like when little girls these days like to idolize the celebrities on TV. They need to be themselves, not be other people. But yeah, you don't have to be Japanese to like Japanese stuff, but they have to realize that they aren't Japanese. That, and some Japanese people hate anime, but like American mainstream media.

1. Weeaboos do not have to be Asian to be a weeaboo?? I think you misunderstood what I said.
2. There's nothing wrong with liking Japanese culture. Weeaboos obsess over Japanese culture, although they aren't Japanese/Asian.
3. I still think you misunderstood me??

Don't worry. Everything is cool. I just was disappointed because I kinda like you, but it's one-sided '-'

Believe me, liking me is weird, I'm not a cool guy or anything.
Also I've never really been a fan of people using Japanese words even though they're english.
Yes. Liking things Japanese =/= weeaboo.
Yes I like large portions of the Japanese but it's not like I sing J-pop at uni or go around cosplay sailor scouts and shouting random one-liners from the show. Nor do I like "mainstream" Japanese music a lot or wear decora fashion. (Yes I brought up the most common misunderstandings, I'm not saying you are a weeb if you do that. There is a thin line between respecting other cultures and obsessing over them too much).
Some need to learn that.

Oh hai mark
Fifty shades of grey. Don't think I need to say more.
Stop bumping all my boards.
Well, I'm thinking of editing manga into some GFX for my icon and signature, but I've never edited Manga before so I'm really nervous about the clean up and making it looked nice and high quality. ;w; I'm going to try my best dough~ <3
Good luck!
Also regarding my post about that make-up, I have nothing against it in general. But those kind of types irks me because they act like pre-mature adults who thinks they look oh so cool.
