    it means people who only consume japanese media at a superficial level. they only care about the biggest and most popular nip games and media and ignore anything even a little obscure.

      so people who only watch popular movies are ironic movie watchers or people who support big sports teams are ironic sports team fans?

        The irony part is the self deprecation. The insistence of "I'm such a nerd, I watch weird Japanese stuff!," etc. The point is the refusal to honestly engage.

          It's honestly kinda outdated, ironic weeb was a real thing back during the mid 00s. I guess newbies won't get it but it pretty much came into mean to perfectly describe nekopara and how it got popular from people "ironically" streaming the lewd cat girl game, or dragon maid with Kanna, and also love live fans

          I dunno it was a real thing back then but yeah you don't see much of it now.

            The self deprecation, banality and racism still exist.

              morons spamming "don't lewd" and FBI jokes into the fricking dirt over a character made by a literal H artist that loves drawing big breasts and cute characters.

                >ravioli ravioli don't lewd the dragon e-girl XD

                When dragon maid season 2 came out though, people were just straight up angry at ilulu, not even willing to meme about her
                which just goes to show how things changed since then

                ok but what does that have to with the character?

    It has marginally better production values than actual weebshit/otakubait like Neptunia without being about 13 year old lesbians and their panties

    The vast majority of Ganker are ironic weebs. Which is why /jp/ has always been strict about who posts there.

    Peoppe that don't really like anime but were kinda jealous and b***hy towards old school anime fans and want some kind of dumbass vengeance for who knows what? Being cooler than them? Idk anyways yeah they DO exist they try pretending they understood the OG anime but they don't

    I only like Persona games because they are Japanese enough without being too anime. I love Japan and their culture but I loath anime.

    "ironic weebs" are normalgays that pretend to like jap stuff to "fit in".
    P3 is trending and has a lot of things that may appeal to normal gays, so they play this game and pretend they like any jap stuff.

    An ironic weeb is someone who hates anime and otaku-oriented media but consumes some Japanese media while poking it for being “weeb shit” because they don’t want people to think they sincerely enjoy anime.

    You know, in hindsight, Minato's death must've been a sucker puck for Maiko. Her parents divorced and she had to deal with the shitshow leading up to it and after the fact, and then shortly down the road after it was resolved, the young adult who helped her through it all just dies.

    Poor girl.

      Almost every S Link is positioned where the protagonist's sudden death would deeply hurt them.

        Yeah, of course. I just sympathize more with the young girl. The rest are old enough to reliably cope with Minato's passing; the girl, less so. That's my opinion of the matter at any rate.

    It means that you dont actually like anime, its just you jumping on the hype train because you want to belong to something.
    Notice how normies only talk about attack on titan, one piece and some other random famous anime shit like demon slayer. But thats it, thats where it ends.

    I think it's just a defense mechanism for weebs mad that their more weeby RPG/VN/dating sim game isn't as popular. The reality is Persona is just a well produced game with style and depth. Hell, somebody was trying to compare it to Stein's Gate on here the other day

      This is a thing wherever nerd media is discussed on the internet, particularly on Ganker. People who get deeper into anime/movies/music/video games start going deeper and looking at more obscure things, but as they get an appreciation for the "deeper cuts", they begin to resent whatever is in the mainstream or entry level.

    They mean iconic weebs
    Because Persona 3 is on the same level as NGE, Cowboy Bebop and Trigun
