Dandelion Wine 1,540 Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 They're very easy to meet online (some sincere, some under the guise as trolls). But has anyone here ever met a person in real life who's taken their interest in Korea/Japan way too far? I know we have some on this site, or some former ones. Don't be afraid to admit it, you won't be judged...much... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

denizen mars 5,911 Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 I see myself in the mirror every day. /jokes Well, some of the other people in my Korean history class were Koreaboos that took their interest to a new level by deciding to formally study the country. Don't see how that's a bad thing. Honestly, I think allowing this forum to eat up your life is probably worse...and I do both so I'm screwed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j-arc 500 Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 When Teen Top came to Toronto, I got to bear witness as hordes of teenage white girls charged at them screaming "TIN TAHP SARANGHAE, CHUNJI-OPPA SARANGHAE" in the most try hard accents I've ever heard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regina 8,123 Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 I used to be friends with this black girl who was obsessed with Japan and actually thought she was going to move there and be signed under Avex. When I didn't indulge in her young girl fantasies she would get depressed and curse her blackness. Then a few days later she'd be right back at it, spazzing over Arashi and speaking Japanese in that annoying stereotypical anime voice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ulmicola 1,981 Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 I've met a lot of weeaboos/koreaboos on the internet, and some (but not as many) IRL. However, the ones I met IRL weren't as delusional as the ones on the internet. Maybe it's because they unleash their delulu selves only online?

Otaku 91 Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 My bff is a bit of a weeaboo. She doesn't exactly tries to dress or collect anything, but she's always pestering me, talking to me using Japanese phrases, and fantasizing about Japan etc. etc. Like yesterday, we were having a conversation, and on Snapchat, she was like "Ah, sodeska? Gomenasai!" It's partly my fault for getting her into anime tho eh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gean2 36 Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 Yes, I have. They weren't that crazy nor did they seem too into it, but once anything Japanese related came into the conversation it was over. They would do the stereotypical weeaboo things and would ruin the conversation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
