>>352896 Because this started out as an image board based off of a japanese one with the intent that it would be focused on anime, manga, video games and other japanese faggotry. The board has since expanded but still retains this core of weeabooism to a great extent. One of the symptoms of weeabooism is that the weeaboo neglects learning anything about humanity through their own culture, deeming this uninteresting, but instead learns things through the exotic prism of japanese culture. Whereas a normal english speaker would use the words such as anti-social and shut-in, the weeaboo uses words such as hikkikomori and otaku. Because they are new and novel, these terms often take a more specialized meaning for the weeaboo while the english phrases become far more generalized or even lose their original meaning.
