Etymology

Weeaboo began as an internet joke: people took a silly word from a comic and used it instead of the older insult wapanese. Today a weeaboo usually means a non-Japanese person who is too obsessed ('too much love') with Japanese culture, especially anime and manga, and the word is often used as an insult.
