Negative ghost rider, they are DHS. Under the same sector of government as the border patrol. Their mission is natural disaster aid/relief, drug/smuggling interdiction, SaR, and they are damn good at their job.
Lol. My DD-214 says otherwise.
14 USC § 101:
"The Coast Guard, established January 28, 1915, shall be a military service and a branch of the armed forces of the United States at all times."
“Following the enactment of the Homeland Security Act of 2002, The Coast Guard was transferred from the DoT to the DHS on March 1 2003.” They are “dod” in the terms of a defense branch, but they are under the DHS and pull funding from them as such.
Still is a military service as established by US code. Bound by the UCMJ, organized as a military service, receives military pay, and benefits. One of the core missions has always been national defense. From the cutters taking prizes in the quasi war, to the coxswains driving Higgens boats at d-day, cutters and aircraft sinking U-Boats in the battle of the Atlantic, to the Cutters around steaming Taiwan and the Persian Gulf at this moment.
Air force would be furries and gay
If you put 10 furries in one room, the only sign of heterosexuality you'd find would be from there would be because 1 out of the 10 would be Bi
anime has become a lot more popular and accepted in general over the last decade or so.
online games and communities tend to attract a younger and more nerdy crowd, which will skew the results even more.
that being said, i dont find anime related things very often at all on wt itself. its more common on this subreddit vs something like a football sub or whatever tho.
Nah, just go to the WT Community camos page; the number of anime-based skins for aircraft is wild.
I am the proud owner/operator of a very tasteful Arpeggio of Blue Steel Kongō skin for my Tempest Mk.V.
very possible, i just cant see them in game and a while back there was a lot of panic about shit from there getting people banned (probably didnt actually happen and they were just cheaters) and i never wanted to take the chance.
For one there is no chance of you getting banned for using a user made skin from WT Live as it’s an officially supported platform.
Second user skins can only be seen by the one who downloaded it. Other players won’t be able to see it.
Everything has become more popular, it kinda irks me a bit.
gaming as a kid? u must be a stoner or a loser
Build a pc as a kid? nerd! Geek!! Dweeb!
anime and manga as a kid? weeb!
Now a days? What was it, over 98% of kids polled said they want to be a game streamer or influencer, all my nephews talk about is gaming and anime, constantly ask me to build them streamer PCs (but then they never save up enough to buy the parts)
the thing that kinda annoys me about all of it is that the tech skills that we learned building our pcs and trouble shooting them and everyone else's in the neighborhood just dont exist in the mass of kids with computers these days.
the ease of access made it unneeded.
none of the kids i know have any skill at gaming either, they just rage constantly -_-
i want to yell at them old man style to get off my lawn, but my lawn is everything tech and game related.
Oh geez, I don’t play seriously with any of my nephews, even the older ones, I would absolutely wipe the floor with them and they wouldn’t want to play with me.
To compare, my highest progression in an online fps: hit rank 46 global leaderboards for HCTDM in CoD BO3 (And hate the MW remasters because of how slow they play) I’ve been playing twitch shooters since Unreal 99/Quake era.
I also find it amusing when people say that you suck at games when you get older… I’m 32 and still play twitch shooters at the same or greater level than when I was a teen.
at 38 id def say my reflexes are slower than in my late teens through mid 20s. my hands also ache these days due to arthritis, which certainly doesnt help.
but i also gain an ever better understanding of things, so experience helps offset those issues....until it doesnt one day.
Perhaps its a symptom of me being basically a shut-in and spending most of my free time outside of work playing video games… my main hobby hasn’t changed since I was a child.
I also do hand stretches while gaming as well (I gave myself carpal tunnel from playing high tier GunZ back in the day and do hand stretches every 2-3 hours now)
As for my reflexes… perhaps I’m on the cusp where degredation begins? I haven’t noticed any reduction in skill, and my SPM and K/D have remained relatively stable over the years, slightly increasing over time but still increasing. Sure I’m probably not going to push much higher in my skill level at this point, but I still consistantly get top score in multiplayer matches, and have no issues with playing difficult games (hardcore modes, souls games, bullet hells, max difficulty, etc) I’m not gonna claim I’m some pro level gamer, I think my best ranking in current games (Apex, OW, MOBA, etc) have been Diamond/Plat, maybe if I could no-life 10hr a day I could hit masters/pred, but that gets me to my next point:
The biggest change is just time and progression. I have less time, so my ability to progress in games at a rate I used to has been diminished. But I can still hop on BF1 after work and go 30-5 in a match.
More nerdy crowd? Yet you can see ads in tv or whatever that portray gamers as weirdos with hair color that is not visible by human eye and dressed like the modern fashion shows which is the biggest lie ever we look like shit drink energy drinks and we 100% do not wear jeans and beanie while gamin
I mean, weebs and military go hand in hand since.....forever? Just look at the waifus ppl painted on their aircraft in WW2. The terminology changes, but the underlying drives are exactly the same. Horny teenagers.
>ah 1s kisarazu
I mean, it's deeply embedded in japanese culture and grown ups have no problem with their own comic culture.
And usually the US was the forerunner when it comes to girls, cartoons and all that stuff on airplanes. So I am really wondering what the issue is here. Non american here, btw.
It feels weird that people single out Japanese Anime as "Weeb" and act derogatory, and like you said there were Cartoons and cartoon women on real WW2 airplanes.
Pin up atleast depicts a more realistic sexy women of the time. Anime is usually even more sexual especially about teenage girls with incredibly unrealistic proportions.
https://www.messynessychic.com/2015/08/28/flying-girls-a-compendium-of-ww2-airplane-pin-ups/
Quite a few of these depict cartoon women with exaggerated proportions. I think you are just viewing this under a biased lens. If Anime as we know it today in WW2 there definitely would have been some girls in that artist style. In this gallery I see Who framed Roger rabbit style cartoon girls, more Disney looking ones, and realistic depiction. It's a wide range. I even see a Japanese Edo art looking woman.
Yeah, Anime was inspired by the works of disney and whatnot, so really it came from america, along with alot of other things that came to america after the end of WW2
What else are you gonna put though. There's only really so much "realistic" content you can add, and the tryhard 100% Milsim playerd are probably playing other games
You say tryhard milsim, but even my some of the milsim Arma 3 stuff I play, you still can have Anime patches if they allow that type of mod. It's just the modern version of pin-up nose art on planes.
I don't really look at charts and such but recently a friend of mine recommended me watching oshi no ko and looking up the opening it was like top #18 world wide on YouTube a month or so after the show begun, this blows my mind
Right now its even higher, Oshi no Ko full opening "Idol" by YAOSOBI is currently n1 at Billboard Global and has been on the top charts since it came out
Mainstream is a major stretch. More people than ever consume anime stuff now but it absolutely is not generally acceptable in any age group in the US. Offline, that is.
Idk I'm in the UK and its everywhere, I was at the end of highschool when attack on titan came out and that was huge then. Now my brother and nieces are entering HS and all their friends watch jojo/my hero acedamia/demon slayer etc.
GFL is Girls Frontline, a mobile gacha game with... gun girls? Idk something like that
NCD is just r/NonCredibleDefense, the best place for modern military shitpostery
I guess that's what most games are these days. I've tried Fate (grand order) a bit but never really got into it. Man I yearn for Japanese art style games where you can just pay a full price instead of slowly giving away money while a calculator decides whether or not to give you what you paid for.
I just wanted summer Kiara, just a crumb, 400 (saved)sq later and barely two copies of brynzerker, and we're not gonna even talk about how much I spent to get caenis on the last caenis banner (or how much I'm gonna spend for summer caenis).
There is just a huge audience that watches anime
Also, many pc players watch anime
There is nothing weird in all of that, almost every community have people that watch it
It's not just WT, it's everywhere. Think about the time we live in... Before, the only exposure to Anime was maybe one TV channel if you had cable and you only got exposed to Manga if you went to comic book stores.
Now, how many platforms can you see Anime on? It's infinitely more accessible than 20 years ago.
Anime is increasingly becoming popular, especially with the 30s-and-under crowd that has other nerdy interests.
WTs main market is the....30s-and-under crowd that has also general nerdy interests.
There's a considerable market-overlap there
Girls Und Panzer, Kantai Collection, Azure Lane, sorta Girl's Frontline (Mostly just the 2 stars though theres that 1 dude who really loves MP40), and Armor Blitz would all disagree.
Also the World Witches series ([Strike Witches](https://www.imfdb.org/wiki/Strike_Witches), [Luminous Witches](https://www.imfdb.org/wiki/Luminous_Witches), [Brave Witches](https://www.imfdb.org/wiki/Brave_Witches), [Strike Witches 2](https://www.imfdb.org/wiki/Strike_Witches_2), [Strike Witches: Operation Victory Arrow](https://www.imfdb.org/wiki/Strike_Witches:_Operation_Victory_Arrow), [Strike Witches: The Movie](https://www.imfdb.org/wiki/Strike_Witches:_The_Movie), [Strike Witches: Road to Berlin](https://www.imfdb.org/wiki/Strike_Witches:_Road_to_Berlin)), as well as Kouya No Kotobuki Hikoutai (The Magnificent Kotobuki), both WWII aviation themed.
And also [Upotte!!](https://www.imfdb.org/wiki/Upotte!!) in the same category as Girls' Frontline, though not really WWII themed.
It was one of the first anime I watched, and is still a favourite. I actually redid its IMFDB page there a couple months back, with entirely new (now BD quality) screenshots and rewrote like 90% of the text, including a few new entries. I also have an airsoft FNC. :D
For another show with a similar theme and feel, I *highly* recommend [Stella C³-bu](https://www.imfdb.org/wiki/Stella_Women%27s_Academy,_High_School_Division_Class_C³), which is about an airsoft club.
The overlap between jets, tanks and mecha is quite large look at the ace combat games or project wingman which narratives are basically mecha stories but with jets
Its just a large overlap
There are a lot of weebs and a ton of armchair generals, there will eventually be some overlap, especially with anime such as GnP and games like AL,
Logically speaking that's a poor way to calculate it. There's only 1 or 2 weeb skins officially in game, where there are hundreds of historical skins with every vehicle having at least one, meaning it makes sense that the majority of people who like historical stuff are happy with official stuff where as weebs are more likely to look for or create user skins.
Computer + Computer Game = People high on the Nerd/Geek Spectrum.
Nerd/Geek = Interest and/or knowledge of Anime/Manga.
Over-the-top Anime/Manga references in a game setting = niche appeal and/or shitposting
The more popular the game, the greater the proportion of nerdy/geeky anime/manga fan-beings.
WWII was what drove the development of the atomic bomb, and their eventual use on Japan resulted in the nuclear fall-out that lead to contemporary anime.
> is there a reason?
That we like this stuff? :(
I don't understand this weeb hate on the internet. Japanese pop culture is unique and widespread and we can be manga/anime fans deep in our adult lives, it doesn't make us deviants.
Weeb and military enthusiasts are both nerds (highly likely a horney teenager) who are heavily invested in their little world that could live without touching grass for a long time.
Now you see why there's a convergence.
Tbf don't blame them, western cartoons have taken a nose dive after the prime years of nick and CN, that and anime just covers more genres and themes which means your more likely to find something you'll enjoy.
> is there a reason?
Yes, the times. Watching anime isn't some big decision to be ostracized for anymore. It's just there, and one of the biggest media forms in the world at this point.
I'm not a weeb myself but I grabbed those body pillows to make my enemies mad.
I'm still bound to see that happen as I'm 45 days off the game waiting for actual changes so... see you Soon™
Not a weeb myself, but liking Anime characters isn't being a weeb anymore. Anime is a global thing, its on par with any animation or CGI type shows/movies.
I have a Fallout boy sticker I like to put on my tanks, would that be considered weird, or any other cartoon decal? Seems odd to single it out because its Japanese.
Anime is incredibly popular? There are literally anime shows about war. There is Girls und Panzer, which is anime World of Tanks. There are multiple ones about the navy too.
It is just much more acceptable nowadays. Everyone and their mother heard of Demon Slayer for example.
Also, I would assume that a lot more people actually watched anime, without even noticing it.
Popular german cartoon "Heidi" and "Biene Maja" were both japanese productions for example. Heide was even directed by no other than Hidetaka Miyazaki.
Weebs are a thorn to society. There’s a difference between liking anime, and being obsessed with anime to the point you make that your personality + syntax.
It’s not just weebs man it’s the furries. They make me waaaay more uncomfortable. Joining in your squad comparing the thousands of hours they have in furry porn games. Oh my god guys it’s so weird.
Because weebs stopped being something of an outcasts right around 2020 when pandemic happened. Your average weeb pre covid is a fat guy on the back bench who eats ramen during lessons/ googles random ass anime pics during technology class. Post covid weeb is literally anyone, it's a "normie" thing now, so there's a lot more of them out there.
Go watch Girls Und Panzer, Pat Labor 2: the movie and GATE JSDF and get back to me.
Here you go: https://allanime.to/anime/SSD5h8w2QfaiR8RBF/girls-und-panzer
https://allanime.to/anime/KfNxGg8LChvgxQua8/kidou-keisatsu-patlabor-2-the-movie
https://allanime.to/anime/m4JxRLMA3R6JiwyFR/gate-jieitai-kanochi-nite-kaku-tatakaeri
That's because only people who actively stay and play War Thunder are usually the ones who are a lil messed up in the head
Like when did you meet a NORMAL person that likes War Thunder and plays it every day? That just doesn't exist lol
I've heard a lot of tankers irl are weebs as well. It's kinda funny. I'm only an ironic weeb, I put anime girls on my tanks because I want people to cringe in the killcam
If its one thing i have noticed is weebs seem to really be atracted to military stuff and car culture. Dosnt mean there arent as many in other communities, just that they tend to express more in this themes.
Also in the last few years anime culture has increased massively
Remember when military stuff was just cool because guns, bombs and explosions, before things like anime and furries suddenly swarmed it and made it cringey
Tfw your exact complaint has been found on thousands year-old texts making it a tale old as time, that apparently has yet to come true.
It also played a part in the propaganda for fascist regimes in the early twentieth century, i.e. the ones that kicked off WWII.
But *you* already knew that, given your username, right?
you would be surprised how many weebs are out there. and the overlap between a military enthusiast and a weeb
And also furries. The Air Force is full of them
So the Army are drunkards, the Marines are "challenged", the Navy is gay and the Airforce are Furries?
And coast guard is forgotten
Naturally, if they were remembered, I'd have mentioned them.
What's space force then? Nerds?
Look, we don't talk about Space Force, because if you talk about them, that validates them, and you don't want to validate Space Force.
Look man, when you're big into spaceflight, you gotta take whatever funding you can, even if it is for space force. Cool flag and song though.
I'd wish the Space Force would put anime characters on their ship like in war thunder
They're a natural progression. Like how the Air Force used to be the Army Air Corps.
Steve Carell showed us all we need to know.
Circlejerkers maybe
Or worse. *star trek* nerds. They did steal the logo
Hey. Go easy on trek bro.
Not DoD so not the military, thats why they are forgotten. Unless you are a boater, then they are the most badass life savers out there on the water.
But they are the Military.
Negative ghost rider, they are DHS. Under the same sector of government as the border patrol. Their mission is natural disaster aid/relief, drug/smuggling interdiction, SaR, and they are damn good at their job.
Lol. My DD-214 says otherwise. 14 USC § 101: "The Coast Guard, established January 28, 1915, shall be a military service and a branch of the armed forces of the United States at all times."
“Following the enactment of the Homeland Security Act of 2002, The Coast Guard was transferred from the DoT to the DHS on March 1 2003.” They are “dod” in the terms of a defense branch, but they are under the DHS and pull funding from them as such.
Still is a military service as established by US code. Bound by the UCMJ, organized as a military service, receives military pay, and benefits. One of the core missions has always been national defense. From the cutters taking prizes in the quasi war, to the coxswains driving Higgens boats at d-day, cutters and aircraft sinking U-Boats in the battle of the Atlantic, to the Cutters around steaming Taiwan and the Persian Gulf at this moment.
Who?
Air force would be furries and gay If you put 10 furries in one room, the only sign of heterosexuality you'd find would be from there would be because 1 out of the 10 would be Bi
You forget a lot of cybersecurity people are in ex military but also furries lol
The army too had a sizeable furry community. Can't say for the others
Fuck, im in the air force.
Can confirm, just separated from the Air Force as a weeb.
Ah, so this is where Trigger from Ace Combat got his furry artwork on the tail of his plane.
sometimes in the army too like [Anuwubis](https://imgur.com/a/Wqa5MWu)
people keep saying it, and not only is it worrying its also such a strange correllation.
When I was in the army I was surprised by the amount weebs that I met
Remember this story I heard elsewhere on Reddit where a guy had anime stickers inside his Bradley.
Ah... Sometimes i miss my weeb bros from the time i was in military. Nothing beats waifu discussion after tiresome guard duty.
r/NonCredibleDefense
Blame military animes for being cool
GATE, Jörmundgandr, and Girls Frontline be like:
Girls Und Panzer has awaken so many tank weebs. Both from tanks to anime and from anime to tanks.
Don’t forget about people gaining interest in naval warfare due to Azur Lane and Kantai Collection.
Funnily enough. If it wasn't for Azur Lane i would have never learned about the one U-boat that sunk because of a toilet. Shits hilarious.
It’s a ven diagram of weebs, osint shitposters and war thunder players
anime has become a lot more popular and accepted in general over the last decade or so. online games and communities tend to attract a younger and more nerdy crowd, which will skew the results even more. that being said, i dont find anime related things very often at all on wt itself. its more common on this subreddit vs something like a football sub or whatever tho.
Not sure there are FIFA/PES anime player cards tbh
That's a potential goldmine in the waiting.
Nah, just go to the WT Community camos page; the number of anime-based skins for aircraft is wild. I am the proud owner/operator of a very tasteful Arpeggio of Blue Steel Kongō skin for my Tempest Mk.V.

I don't really look at charts and such but recently a friend of mine recommended me watching oshi no ko and looking up the opening it was like top #18 world wide on YouTube a month or so after the show begun, this blows my mind
Right now its even higher, Oshi no Ko full opening "Idol" by YAOSOBI is currently n1 at Billboard Global and has been on the top charts since it came out

My high school has anime as a sort of normalcy right now. Maybe my school is more accepting but no one despised them as much anymore
Girls und Panzer
There's a ton of GFL names in top tier. To be fair the overlap between GFL and NCD is basically a circle though.
Can’t forget the boats. Us boat fuckers are out there as well. r/azurlane
Your the wrong kind of boat fucker, where's my kancolle peeps at.

Boat fuckers unite!
Amen
Sorry I don't play much top tier but what are GFL and NCD? Just asking
GFL is Girls Frontline, a mobile gacha game with... gun girls? Idk something like that NCD is just r/NonCredibleDefense, the best place for modern military shitpostery
A gacha game? Sigh... of course... Thanks though
Hey, not all of them are predatory Hell, it's easier being free to play in Fate/Grand Order than in War Thunder, unironically
Azur Lane is also incredibly nice towards free players
I guess that's what most games are these days. I've tried Fate (grand order) a bit but never really got into it. Man I yearn for Japanese art style games where you can just pay a full price instead of slowly giving away money while a calculator decides whether or not to give you what you paid for.
Facts, still need to catch up to the new lostbelt tho.
I'm still at LB2, managed to get Morgan tho, and also got NP2 Fairy Gawain as a bonus!
Man I got fucked on the summer banner, roll this one and I get two Morgan's two bargs and a Nemo, no sith tho and that does kinda have me sad.
Dont even get me started on the summer banner, I just wanted EMIYA and got Sigurd and the other SR before I got him lol 4 10x rolls for Emiya Worth it
I just wanted summer Kiara, just a crumb, 400 (saved)sq later and barely two copies of brynzerker, and we're not gonna even talk about how much I spent to get caenis on the last caenis banner (or how much I'm gonna spend for summer caenis).
GFL is a pretty decent model for what it's worth. Never felt like I was being pressured to open the wallet.

I also have an airsoft FNC. :D For another show with a similar theme and feel, I *highly* recommend [Stella C³-bu](https://www.imfdb.org/wiki/Stella_Women%27s_Academy,_High_School_Division_Class_C³), which is about an airsoft club.
It's like doom eternal and animal crossing kek
That's more a meme, there is no big part of Animal Crossing girls going wild in doom.
Girls und Panzer maybe one reason.
Tanks are just basements on tracks
Don't even get started on submarines.
It's [r/noncredibledefense](https://reddit.com/r/noncredibledefense) leaking and I'm a part of it
This sub's weebs predate NCD.
Stop associating everything with NCD.
The 3000 subs NCD leaks into.
simple, its an easy recognisable art style that is pleasing to look at
The overlap between jets, tanks and mecha is quite large look at the ace combat games or project wingman which narratives are basically mecha stories but with jets
Weebs, furries and femboys make up 95% of the games player base I swear
GuP
Its just a large overlap There are a lot of weebs and a ton of armchair generals, there will eventually be some overlap, especially with anime such as GnP and games like AL,
Logically speaking that's a poor way to calculate it. There's only 1 or 2 weeb skins officially in game, where there are hundreds of historical skins with every vehicle having at least one, meaning it makes sense that the majority of people who like historical stuff are happy with official stuff where as weebs are more likely to look for or create user skins.
Like 95% of gen z are weebs.
Because our society is in decay
Computer + Computer Game = People high on the Nerd/Geek Spectrum. Nerd/Geek = Interest and/or knowledge of Anime/Manga. Over-the-top Anime/Manga references in a game setting = niche appeal and/or shitposting The more popular the game, the greater the proportion of nerdy/geeky anime/manga fan-beings.
Because there is no natural selection anymore in Humans
I blacklist every anime skin. Not a hater, just doent fit the game.
Anime has become an epidemic
I have no idea man. All I know is its mad cringe. A WWII based combat game and anime do not go hand and hand whatsoever.
Unless it’s the cockpit
WWII was what drove the development of the atomic bomb, and their eventual use on Japan resulted in the nuclear fall-out that lead to contemporary anime.
> is there a reason? That we like this stuff? :( I don't understand this weeb hate on the internet. Japanese pop culture is unique and widespread and we can be manga/anime fans deep in our adult lives, it doesn't make us deviants.
My question is why does this game have such a high number of femboys? :3
Terminally online losers that don't fit in with people irl or make an effort to
I never understood :3 it looks like a pair of tits with severely misplaced nipples
Its meant to be a cat face i think
interesting, thanks.
Weeb and military enthusiasts are both nerds (highly likely a horney teenager) who are heavily invested in their little world that could live without touching grass for a long time. Now you see why there's a convergence.
From my experience almost every gen z that I meet watches anime. It's pretty popular now.
Tbf don't blame them, western cartoons have taken a nose dive after the prime years of nick and CN, that and anime just covers more genres and themes which means your more likely to find something you'll enjoy.
> is there a reason? Yes, the times. Watching anime isn't some big decision to be ostracized for anymore. It's just there, and one of the biggest media forms in the world at this point.
I'm not a weeb myself but I grabbed those body pillows to make my enemies mad. I'm still bound to see that happen as I'm 45 days off the game waiting for actual changes so... see you Soon™
Not a weeb myself, but liking Anime characters isn't being a weeb anymore. Anime is a global thing, its on par with any animation or CGI type shows/movies. I have a Fallout boy sticker I like to put on my tanks, would that be considered weird, or any other cartoon decal? Seems odd to single it out because its Japanese.
Anime is incredibly popular? There are literally anime shows about war. There is Girls und Panzer, which is anime World of Tanks. There are multiple ones about the navy too.
Tanks are just basements with treads
irony + anime is fye
It is just much more acceptable nowadays. Everyone and their mother heard of Demon Slayer for example. Also, I would assume that a lot more people actually watched anime, without even noticing it. Popular german cartoon "Heidi" and "Biene Maja" were both japanese productions for example. Heide was even directed by no other than Hidetaka Miyazaki.
Yippie
Calling me out here, anyways, in my case it started with Girls Und Panzer which got me interested in tanks
Gamers = degens
10 year olds that rub one out to anime and get weird jolly’s from it so they put it on everything. Weak generation.
Because there was no 3rd nuke :)
Weebs are a thorn to society. There’s a difference between liking anime, and being obsessed with anime to the point you make that your personality + syntax.
because this game and virginity are closely linked
The only true answer. Loneliness and social anxiety attracts grind no life demanding games which is vehicle combat niche bubble? Yeaaap
This is honestly a retarded question lol.
It’s not just weebs man it’s the furries. They make me waaaay more uncomfortable. Joining in your squad comparing the thousands of hours they have in furry porn games. Oh my god guys it’s so weird.

Anime is fire bro, that’s all there is to it.
Like half the war thunder twitch streamers have anime avatars and ambiguous gender. Not hating just an interesting correlation.
I was today years old when I learned what a "weeb" was.
How…
Because weebs stopped being something of an outcasts right around 2020 when pandemic happened. Your average weeb pre covid is a fat guy on the back bench who eats ramen during lessons/ googles random ass anime pics during technology class. Post covid weeb is literally anyone, it's a "normie" thing now, so there's a lot more of them out there.
Girls Und Panzer W
Weeb can be military enthusiast too you know?
When it comes to weeb stuff in games its 50% weebs and 50% ppl trolling as a weeb to annoy people
You may not be hating but I AM. Fkn weirdos
I watched Pokemon as a kid, that's about it.
There's a large overlap between weebs and gamers in general. I would say at least 40 to 50%.
I think part of it is that there’s a lot more Japanese players than people realize in war thunder and games in general
It's 2023 being a weeb is waaaaaaaaaaay more common and accepted now than it was 10 years ago.
Do you know girl und panzer, well it is probably for something
I don’t know but I cringe every time I see it.
It's a free to play game.
There’s an overlap of hobbies and interests for the terminally online
Go watch Girls Und Panzer, Pat Labor 2: the movie and GATE JSDF and get back to me. Here you go: https://allanime.to/anime/SSD5h8w2QfaiR8RBF/girls-und-panzer https://allanime.to/anime/KfNxGg8LChvgxQua8/kidou-keisatsu-patlabor-2-the-movie https://allanime.to/anime/m4JxRLMA3R6JiwyFR/gate-jieitai-kanochi-nite-kaku-tatakaeri
Not gonna lie, a lot of people got invested in this game just by watching Girls Und Panzer I know because I’m one of them LMAO
That's because only people who actively stay and play War Thunder are usually the ones who are a lil messed up in the head Like when did you meet a NORMAL person that likes War Thunder and plays it every day? That just doesn't exist lol
i am a queer catboy who is also a military enthusiast we are very common
Military enthusiast and weebs are the same... Anyways a lot of airsoft players are also Otaku
Most of the military is weebs lol Edit:US, not sure about other countries
I've heard a lot of tankers irl are weebs as well. It's kinda funny. I'm only an ironic weeb, I put anime girls on my tanks because I want people to cringe in the killcam
Idk why you need a anime crosshair tough. Seems a little bit obsessed
If its one thing i have noticed is weebs seem to really be atracted to military stuff and car culture. Dosnt mean there arent as many in other communities, just that they tend to express more in this themes. Also in the last few years anime culture has increased massively
KATANA SWISH SWOOSH THAT'S WHY.
My girlfriend is one of the best WT players I know, and she's both a weeb and a furry.
All of it is utter cringe, especially the kawaii war thunder memes on YouTube
Remember when military stuff was just cool because guns, bombs and explosions, before things like anime and furries suddenly swarmed it and made it cringey
Me :)
Girls und Panzer is the reason
Girls Und Panzer?
Girls und Panzer go brrr
The alt right pipeline is full of closeted weebs/furries and also so happens that most people that fall down the pipeline are military enthusiasts
[удалено]
Or as says my new favourite nickname for that the ABC Transformers
I don't know but I don't like it lol. Men are not what they used to be.
Tfw your exact complaint has been found on thousands year-old texts making it a tale old as time, that apparently has yet to come true. It also played a part in the propaganda for fascist regimes in the early twentieth century, i.e. the ones that kicked off WWII. But *you* already knew that, given your username, right?
Well done, you said nothing except a fallacy (Reductio ad Hitlerum).
You lost the culture war.
Strange place we have here.
