Stop telling me I'm a weeb because I play ff14

NOBODY I know even understands the meaning of the word: weeb. (https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Weeb

So I guess I could be a weeb and nobody I know would give a crap. So ok, I'm a weeb!! Yipee!!

Weaboo was always intended to be a slur, especially when applying it to the kinds of people who hold up everything Japanese as "peak civilization" to an obnoxious degree and then start crowing about lowering the age of consent.
Problem is that weebs have taken the slur and made it an identity.

And in a weird twist of fate, "weeb" has spread so wide beyond a point of being a fad that a vast majority of people actually prefer it as a lifestyle choice entirely; and nowadays they do in-fact view Japanese as "peak civilization" on a widespread scale. You can see traces of this everytime people mention how bad the English dub of something is. I took French in Highschool, but all my friends took Japanese. Between them and I, I feel like I took the wrong language course cause I always meet people interested in Japanese, but I lack people to practice French with.

It makes me think of something my parents have said about Dungeons & Dragons. Growing up, they said D&D was generally frowned upon and made you uncool. It's the opposite today and you are kind of missing out if you don't play a little D&D here and there.

Yeah, I'm thinking I'm gonna have to put a moratorium on that. Slurs are used to facilitate the likes of racism, and sexism. There is no such thing as an oppressed weeb, and if there is, their media proclivities is not a factor into the why.
