Just call him a wapanese. I think there's less restrictions on it.

Oh, I already do that. No worries.

EDIT:He's going to start using this forum at some point. He thought that maybe he'd be pre-stereotyped as "That guy that didn't show up on IRC that time", but it looks like he's going to be wapanese instead tongue

But weeaboo's are japanophiles, it has nothing to do with being fat or ugly.

japanophile = wapanese = weeaboo

It means exactly the same.

And they need to vanish from this planet.

Nah, I think that japanophiles are just plain old "love another country's culture" like Teutonophiles and such. Wapanese are wannabes, and weaboos are slightly bigger losers in my dictionary.

He's strong enough due to training that he could beat the shit out of me. So I can't consider him a loser, even if he is obsessive.

He's also a Chick Magnet.

Oh, the Universe is a sick bastard. Or we're just overly critical.

You know, the word weeaboo was created on 4chan, where "wapanese" was filtered and would be replaced with "weeaboo" instead. And wapanese for japanese is just like wigger is for black culture.

Alright, japanophiles are obsessed with japanese culture and weeaboos think they are japanese. I believe both will think japanese is inherently superior, which is the point I'm getting at.

Sounds about right. And "weeaboo" is originally from Perry Bible Fellowship, 4chan adopted it. But you probably already knew that.

Strictly speaking, "Japanophile" (or "Nipponophile", which you don't seem to see used as often) doesn't mean that a person thinks Japanese culture is necessarily superior, just that they're enamoured of it. In that sense, it's no worse than Francophilia, Anglophilia, Americophilia, etc.

Convince him to learn Japanese. By most accounts, that should lead him to become disillusioned with Japanese dubs.

He's working on it. He has an app on his computer that lets him stream Japanese TV. He wants to move there even though he knows of the less savory aspects of the culture. I don't know why. Probably something to do with guns.

I feel really bad about talking about him behind his back, by the way, so I'm going to stop.

Soo apparently Rebuild's showing at Otakon? I totally would've gone if I'd known. :| Oh well...I guess the fact that I didn't go anyway proves I'm not a TRUE FAN~!

It would have to be 1.0. 2.0 isn't licensed or as far as I know even fan-translated.

Important question that I must have answered by anyone who's seen 1.0 already:

Does every single missile still hit the target?

Yes. Every single missile indeed hit the target.

I have asked myself that same question since the day I first formed a coherent thought.

Actually I was referring to Zudak, but hey, introspection's cool too.

Back on topic now: Has anyone found a fan translation of 2.0, or do I need to wait a few more weeks?

I was listening for that line, and I did not hear it.
