Different from [weeaboo] but are always misplaced in the same category as them.
A weeb is someone who respects and really likes to learn about Japan, the culture and the language, likes anime and manga, but will act like a weeaboo sometimes just to make fun of real weeaboos and make fun of themselves for how indulged they are in Japan and how they are always misinterpreted as the real cancer weeaboos.
They will say stuff like thats so kawaii desu ne chan in the whitest accent but only as a joke, knowing that isnt real Japanese, unlike weeaboos who might say something like that on a daily basis and think their Japanese is sugoi.
They also know Japan is a good country, but also has faults. They dont forget their real roots and are prideful of who they actually are, but are still interested and love Japan and its culture and language.
