I don't understand what an ironic weeb is. The term is thrown around a bit too much these days...

someone who uses weeb terms but doesn't identify with the subculture. Someone who calls their football team's star their waifu, but spergs out at people actually watching 2D as being manchildren
for example, using OwO and UwU while finding actual furries fucking cringy would be 'ironic furry'; using twitter-tier politics and oppression totem pole terminology while finding the implementation of such awful would be 'ironic woke'
etc.

ever seen people on steam with a cropped porn doujin avatar, >2000 hours in dota2 and filthy frank quotes in their bio? that's them.

This is all very confusing.
I don't watch anime much - I did some research and watched Cowboy Bebop and Mushishi, which I truly enjoyed. I read Bleach and am reading Chainsaw Man now. What 'term' applies to someone like me?

What is the Zig Forums approved way of learning about new shows?

Probably a nice guy with a good personality. I appreciate you being here.

The people who don't watch anime because they enjoy it, but because of the social media memes. The sort of person who wears an ahegao hoodie and watches anime youtubers rather than actual anime.

A newbie.

Throwing the I Ging

Why the fuck are you trying to categorize yourself with a nonsensical buzzword?

A newbie. You lucked out on the fact that you started with good anime, but I wouldn't say that they are too typical of the "medium" in general.

>What 'term' applies to someone like me?
A newbie, but not in the derogatory way.

I think it means enjoying anime, even weird anime/ecchi that "normalfags" would dislike, and still being socially adjusted. It honestly seems like a stupid term born out of jealousy or something gay like that.
Wrong. Otherwise anyone thay has browsed Zig Forums for a while and has watched an anime with Zig Forums is a "ironic" weeb.

>watching anime with Zig Forums
Why would you do that? Your parents are siblings or something?

It's a term for retards who want to act cool about watching japanese cartoons. People who identify as ironic weebs are same people who watch anime youtubers and constantly tweet about anime. Anime is shit, if you consume anime you are shiteater, accept the fact that you are a shiteater and move on instead of coping by calling yourself ironic shiteater.

>"normalfags"
I wonder why would you need to use those quotation marks.

what would an iconic weeb be?

Sounds like a secondary/tertiary/etc but applied to the entire medium instead of a specific franchise.

You are a normalfag, but don't take it the wrong way, I'd rather hang out with you than an ironic weeb

95% of Zig Forums. Easy to spot in this thread because they get easily flustered.

ironic weeb is literally someone who doesn't watch anime and uses all the anime/manga shit for their e-persona aesthetic (which also includes ironic/post-ironic memes or whatever it's called nowadays by kiddies)

How new?
Because only faggots with attachment to 3D shit care about such things. Which is also why the term ironic weeb is stupid and petty

All of this and more. Essentially it is tied to ironic/cringe culture.

Wait I am not getting you, are you saying that people with an attachment to 3d call people normalfags. Sorry for being retarded.

>How new?
Dunno how new I'm if I've been here since 2007, I never watched Code Geass with Zig Forums because I hate you.

Yes, that's what I am saying. People that care about 3D shit say normalfag, ironic weeb, etc.

a true scholar and champion.

I thought it was just people making fun of those who don't like anime.

>is it just people that are ashamed of liking anime?
its usually the reverse (people who make anime most of their personality [while usually not having much knowledge of this kuso medium], basically modern day weeaboos), most of the meaning is muddled because irony has multiple interpretations
go to or god bless, reddit anime communities and you'll see what people are talking about

People who like anime because it's a popular right now.

Is anime now more popular than the Naruto haydays?

Ironic weebs are people who intentionally take the act of liking animu and japan up to 11

Streaming (Crunchy, funimation and Netflix, lesser degree amazon) and the rise of social media makes it more accessible. Shingeki no Kyojin had a year of popularity, as well as OPM, Re:Zero and a lot of other shows. It may not have been on naruto/bleach levels but it's more accessible for the average person.

Precisely. People that care enough about what 3Dfags do.
I have never done so either but your statement seems ludicrous to me. Also
>13 years here and hating the people
I come here because I have some nice discussions here. Wouldn't say I love the people here, but I am above caring about 3Dfags so much I'd waste energy hating them.
