When joining the Weeb underground there are two significant

differences between being an Active-attendee and

Reserve-weeb. Length of engagement time with people and time

commitment differ and generally does not need to be active and

can be inactive typically. Interest can fluctuate depending on the

needs and can simulate active attendees when at events or meet

ups depending on the reason to gather or role in the group. They

will be more likely to meet online as it is close to home.

Being a Japan lover without knowing too much about Japan can

be what is known as a weeb. But with deep appreciation alone a

weeb can not reach the height of a responsible member of

society as a Japanophile Gaijin. Despite popular belief weeb has

its own linguistic meaning that differs from Wapanese and

watching anime or reading manga doesn't make someone a

weeb. A weeb is a word to inherently poke fun, but can be seen

as a derogatory term if projected against a stranger.

Watching anime is not strange, but having it playing in the

background all the time might be a sign of overly focused

interest. A weeb may not be the most invested in a series,

however they might be more likely to binge a series, or be a high-

spending whale on a gatcha-game out of boredom. It might seem

like depression or being overly anxious to go to Japan as a form

of escape, but thats just a few. Often times they are drawn to the

topic of Japan travel streams, or the sound voice filled by

V-Tubers as they stay in the safety of their rooms.
