Does Playing Mabinogi makes someone a Weeaboo?
So I tried to share Mabinogi with my friends at school but they called me a weeaboo because it's "Anime". I don't really watch cartoons religiously enough to be a "weeaboo" I think but I can't help it if the game chooses this art.
I'm sorry guys. I tried to do my share of the work and spread the love. But since my circle of friends don't really like Mabinogi, I'm going to stop playing it. On another note...can I even be a weeaboo if I'm half-Japanese anyways?
Okay I'll end it here before this get any weirder. Bye all.

"A weeaboo basically is just an otaku that has taken their passion into something more drastic. Basically they start replacing English words such as "Cat" and "Cute" with "Neko" and "Kawaii". They will use these words almost all the time online and offline and abuse them. Also they curse how they aren't Japanese and don't dare to touch stuff such as American video games or watch any American media. "Weeaboo" is an insult because of this."
Anime is not just from Japan anymore.
If you ever come back to playing Mabinogi, play for your own enjoyment and if no one else likes it - sucks for them since they're missing out. Mabinogi is not perfect but if you like it, you like it. It's just like the food you like eating, no one else can eat it for you and it's the thing you prefer to have instead of what others want. Sorry, I'm a bit hungry...
Mabinogi is a Korean game based on Celtic mythology with an anime aesthetic, so... I'm gonna go with no.
Long story short, people like to throw insults around when it's convenient and fits their perceived stereotype. I'd say ditch those guys and keep playing if Mabi brings you joy.
kudos to attempting to spread mabi love though, not much more you can do on your part
EDIT: Apparently now the threads were merged. My original post was not deleted for no reason, the whole thread was apparently moved and replaced by an identical one...? I am conufsed, but whatever!
If you like mabi, just play it. I thought playing mabi would make me a weaboo so that discouraged me at first as well.
... Then realized I played maplestory, and knew that I couldn't really be more weeaboo anyways.
There, fixed. It's more accurate now.
we're KOREABOOS
get your insults right
xD on a more serious note: If you choose to play a game based on what your friends think, do you even have a brain? Can you think for yourself? My friends, when I first played this years ago, thought the game was ehh but hey I like it and I dont even talk to those friends anymore. my gf is actually interested in playing over the summer so thats lit. Think for yourself.
Do you like mabi? Do you like the graphic design? If you said yes to any one of those questions: Mabi is the game for you!
If you listen to what your friends like and dislike, then I kind of feel sorry for you /: It'd be okay to a limit, but quitting a game because they don't like it is...well..messed up tbh.
