Look, I know there exists a certain stereotype of the “Weeb”, as an overweight bearded man obsessed with Anime, unemployed, living in his parent’s basement surrounded by hentai posters and waifu body pillows. I’ve met this kind of person before, they do exist.
But this is still just a stereotype, and it absolutely does not apply to the vast majority of Anime watchers. I know plenty of professionally and socially successful people who love geeking out about Anime. It’s really hard to think of any of them as losers.
The real losers I’ve met in life are the intensely negative assholes that always have an excuse for hating other people. The people who decide that everyone who likes something they don’t must be stupid. Nothing says “loser” like your brand of antisocial close-mindedness.
If it makes you feel better thinking everyone else is a loser, more power to you, but everyone else sees who the real loser is.
Strange, because Wikipedia tells me that the highest-grossing Japanese film in Japan of all time was an anime, as were the next five and most of the others on the list:
That’s a whole lot of losers for one small country.
Of course, that’s just the highest-grossing Japanese film in Japan. The highest grossing film made anywhere in Japan is… the exact same anime, followed by another anime.
Sure. Not everyone in Western countries went to see Avengers movies. I wouldn’t suggest that the vast numbers of Westerners who did go are all losers just because they could have been listening to Delta Blues instead.
May I remind you of your original comment:
Good. Even one less person watching anime is a win for humanity
For one, they’re not weebs they’re just anime otaku, but also that is only a subset of anime and it’s mostly just a judgemental stereotype. They have ads on the subway for birthday events for popular anime characters ffs. Many pachinko machines are anime themed, including after late night anime which are the negatively stereotyped ones. You know who doesn’t have enough money to be a profitable target for gambling establishments? People with no job living in a basement.
And that’s all while ignoring that pretty much no one chooses that life style voluntarily and I see no reason to make fun of these people.
You realize weebs are losers there too right?
They have plenty of non-anime related entertainment

Sounds like cope from a weeb (loser),
To be a loser, you must first lose something. Like your sense of wonder and virginity.

Japan does have a lot of losers
In Japan not everyone that watches anime is a weeb
Or are you disputing that they have other forms of entertainment?
Sure. Not everyone in Western countries went to see Avengers movies. I wouldn’t suggest that the vast numbers of Westerners who did go are all losers just because they could have been listening to Delta Blues instead.
