What is a Weeb? Why Anime is Everywhere in Esports

by devaccess



Anime is intrinsically linked to esports culture.

No matter how much time passes, no matter how much the esports audience ages, the two are inseparable.

But how did we get here? And where does the term weeb come from, anyway?

If you think that the Akihabara Accept was weeb, there's a game that's revolved around guns(yes, literal guns, from AK to M16 to even Desert Eagle) that's anime-fied but with twists

I mean, I like anime but I'm not obsessed with it. If someone doesn't like it, it's okay. It's their own opinion

I don't mind being called a weeb, as long as I had something that some other people don't:

– A life.

You can attempt to stop us, but we will return with greater numbers and new waifuis to assimilate all normies left. You may think you have won, but we will slowly rise as the show's opening plays faintly in the background

Its funny though cause what if i called people a weeb for watching breaking bad or a very popular tv series, they'd get really offended and confused, i find it funny how almost every 90s child has watched pokemon, loves it, knows the theme tune, but they don't think it's anime, and those same people will call people "weebs" for watching other anime, people who do that have small brains
