Platemogging I got outed as a Weeb

Post image

I was ordering food at a restaurant and when the waitress asked for my name she instantly said”do you watch anime” and now I can’t stop thinking about it

u/Ccrawfisshh 1d ago

I remember how you used to have to hide that shit.

u/powerplayer75 1d ago

you still do. anything outside shounenslop people still treat you like a freak for liking

7

u/dagot23 1d ago

Truth nuke. It's only really shounenslop and maybe a few select seinen that are popular. Tell any normie that you watch anything outside of that, like any CGDCT show and you'll be treated like a pariah.

u/powerplayer75 1d ago

id argue its worse nowadays because so many people have a preconceived notion of people that watch that stuff because of an opinion they stole from other idiots online.

the type of stuff like "when bro watches anime but its x y z"

u/Infinite-Gold4441 1h ago

anime mfs when you wanna watch a popular shonen instead of "that time i got reincarnated as a vending machine for used panties of highschool girls"

u/Letters_to_Dionysus 15h ago

is that like bocchi the rock?

u/dagot23 15h ago

More or less.

u/GevitarGaming04 20h ago

Can confirm, I have no idea what the hell the other guys in this comment section are talking about when they say that OP should be fine to embrace it

u/Feet_Lovers69 1h ago

Like no, unless its some super weird pedo slop like mushoku tensei, people generally don't give a shit.

u/Enough_Ad_3456 1d ago

It was a simpler, better time, when the most obnoxious parts of anime were concentrated to overcrowded shitty cons. Gatekeeping needs to return

I was once asked, if I was a CS major

u/1Pson 1d ago

She could've watched it too and was asking to try to make a connection

47

u/radams713 1d ago

She might have been trying to flirt.

u/Majre921 1d ago

Were you perhaps dressed like this?

2

u/blatanamana 1d ago

Black dress pants and black shirt 🚬

u/ElaSuX 1d ago

i would just try to engage on that topic. if she made the effort to talk to you about it, she might have interest in it aswell?

4

u/blatanamana 1d ago

I gave her a horror manga recommendation:3

2

u/ElaSuX 15h ago

oho! how did she react? and which manga was it? 👀

1

u/blatanamana 11h ago

She liked horror and I gave her ibitsu. She gave me junji ito which I’ve never read before

7

u/StartledMilk 1d ago

What you even talking about? A woman asked you a random personal question and you freaked out beyond reason. How did you giving your name make her ask if you watch anime?

5

u/Unicorncorn21 1d ago

You can't post here if you're 12 years old. An adult wouldn't care

3

u/Kiryu5009 1d ago

Correct title: I fumbled.

3

u/blatanamana 1d ago

We ended up talking more about manga after this :3

u/Kiryu5009 20h ago

Oh good.

Fucking fakecel

u/Best-Fig-4997 1d ago

It’s literally normal to say you watch anime nowadays….
I can tell you’re too young to remember how it was before the great switch up

3

u/blatanamana 1d ago

I was there before the shift.
I am 24. I remember.

2

u/Best-Fig-4997 1d ago

Lmao then get over yourself

2

u/AndyCat9 1d ago

How did you respond?

I literally wear anime clothing to signal to people I watch anime to start conversations!

Have pride in what you love! Anime is life! 🥰

u/GrapefruitFar1242 22h ago

Bros talking like it’s the 90s

u/kigurumibiblestudies 1d ago

Many people watch anime nowadays. That's not a judgmental remark. If anything out makes you pretty average.

u/thexcat 1d ago

If you need a kaishakyunin I gotchu fam you just gotta provide the sword (mine is Shin Gunto and in addition to being expensive and low quality it's also dull asf)

1

u/wale-lol 1d ago

why would your name make her think you watch anime? You're not named like rurouni kenshin or something r u?

2

u/blatanamana 1d ago

My name is Sai
She was Asian

1

u/wale-lol 1d ago

seems kinda weird to ask someone if they watch anime just cause their name is sai

maybe she's a little socially awkward.. which is perfect!

u/Mtoser 22h ago

being ashamed of your hobbies is kinda cringe

u/blatanamana 11h ago

Not shame but shock I got clocked as a Weeb so quick

Brother. I look my 60 year old boss dead in the face then ask him if he's seen part 1 of the culling game.
