Look, I know there exists a certain stereotype of the "Weeb", as an overweight bearded man obsessed with Anime, unemployed, living in his parent's basement surrounded by hentai posters and waifu body pillows. I've met this kind of person before, they do exist.

But this is still just a stereotype, and it absolutely does not apply to the vast majority of Anime watchers. I know plenty of professionally and socially successful people who love geeking out about Anime. It's really hard to think of any of them as losers.

The real losers I've met in life are the intensely negative assholes that always have an excuse for hating other people. The people who decide that everyone who likes something they don't must be stupid. Nothing says "loser" like your brand of antisocial close-mindedness.

If it makes you feel better thinking everyone else is a loser, more power to you, but everyone else sees who the real loser is.

Sounds like cope from a weeb (loser),
