    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.
