Meh aku mengupdatekan blog aku…kali ni kita citer psl wapanese..
Wapanese is the term used to describe a person of non-japanese
descent (usually white, however some others are lumped in there as
well) who is incredibly obsessed with Japanese things.
A person who watches anime or majors in Japanese language at university is not counted as wapanese.
These are common behaviours displayed by wapanese:
1.
Being obsessed with anime. The typical anime watcher enjoys the shows
because they are fun to watch and interesting (not all are for
children, that is a myth). However, wapanese will take it to an
unhealthy level.
2. Their rooms will be filled with japanese
things. Anything from anime stuff to japanese things such as Tatami. A
true wapanese will have next to nothing non-japanese in their room.
3.
Many wapanese will believe that Japan is the best country ever and that
if they go there they will be adored. However, most wapanese don’t
understand that Japan is a very racist society and they don’t like
white people very much.
4. They will constantly post things on
the internet containing a few of the japanese words they know. These
words are usually: kawaii and baka. These words will be used in an
english sentence such as: "You are so baka"
5. Many wapanese
will develope an unhealthy obsession with asian girls/guys. Many of
them will refuse to be with someone who isn’t japanese.
6.
wapanese tend to spend all of their time watching anime, reading manga
and listening to japanese music. A lot of them are unemployed and live
at home with their parents (some are students, some are over 30). The
ones who do have jobs, have very poor jobs, such as working at a
supermarket.
7. Wapanese listen to tons of japanese music but
will refuse to listen to anything non-japanese. They also tend to say
that non-japanese music is crap while the japanese music is godly.
However, most wapanese tend to listen to Japanese Pop which can be
very, very similar to non-Japanese pop.
8. Many wapanese do
cosplay. However, many normal anime watchers cosplay as well. However,
wapanese tend to overdo it and act very elitist at conventions.
9.
Most wapanese know very little about Japan. They don’t look past the
anime and whatnot. Most wapanese don’t know anything about Japan’s
history. However many wapanese will pretend to know what they are
talking about, however they tend to be incorrect.
10. Wapanese
also tend to butcher the language (besides using them in english
sentences). A good example is the meaning of otaku. The wapanese will
use it to describe themselves, however most don’t realize that otaku in
Japan means you are very mentally unstable. Otaku in Japan are looked
down upon and ridiculed.
They believe that everything in Japan
is good and everything anywhere else is bad. They don’t see the truths
before their eyes and refuse to see them.
Those who cosplay, dress
in japanese fashion, watch anime, etc. aren’t considered wapanese until
the unhealthy obsession is present.
Wapanese (ワパニーズ), primarily used on some Internet message boards, is a slang term which refers to a white (caucasian) person that wants to become Japanese.
The word may have several hypothetical etymologies:
- It comes from a combination of the words "white" and "Japanese."
- It is derived from the combination of the words "wannabe" and "Japanese."
It comes from the combination of the Japanese character "和" (pronounced as "wa"), and the western word "Japanese". The character 和 is generally used to refer to Japan in Japanese language, and it has the meanings "peace", "harmony", and "union".
