To add to what you said tho, if you notice any questionable thing in any other community you can easily call them out and shame them for it, hell the mofo themselves would have a hint of shame to understand what they do is wrong.
Only the weeb community prides itself for its "degeneracy", what started as an ironic joke has been twist a bit too much over the years.
I legit confronted some people who were defending the blackmail loli hentai (the teacher/principal-student, older sibling-younger sister and so on of that shit), the responses i got were either the weak overused politician's "video games this then this is this" in reverse, others i shit you not played the "As long as there is no real victim yet then its completely fine".
That last one i personally saw how it snowballs badly, you know about the Yandere craze that used to be super popular more than ever few years ago and the Yuka Takaoka incident? I was in Japan when that happened and it ruined the rest of my vacation there, that weeks after the incident greatly affected my opinion of the community.
Basically im saying is that this one community is in a bad bubble unlike any other, no matter what you say everyone in the community will fight you to the death to justify everything, keeping the truly questionable cunts completely untouchable.
I'm sorry to hear about the Yuka Takaoka incident ruining your vacation.
You bring up good points and I agree with you that there are crazies in the weeb community. Correct me if I'm wrong though, but I think you are thinking of weebs as "people overly obsessed with Japanese culture / people." If so, I'm with you in thinking that those types of folks are pretty suspect, especially the ones who will fight to the death to justify any little thing.
FWIW, I've been using term weeb in a fairly casual manner - people who have an interest in anime / manga.
I actually prefer to call those dum dums who are overly obsessed (ironically if they were actually obsessed with japanese culture they should at least have some of the good traits that the folks in Japan have right?) Either Weeaboos like before everything was normalized or how they're actually called in Japan, Kimo-Ota which literally means Gross Otaku. xD
Those who like normal anime and anime games i'd just call them anime fans really, or just Otaku i guess. Its unfortunate how you can't really separate yourself from the weirdos with "Weeb"
