Well supposedly "weeaboo" means someone who is obsessed with Japan, relating to 4chan. I may be wrong though. I think I should study up on my internets more.

I think it's from a word filter where, when you would type "wapanese," you would get "weeaboo" instead. Not sure if it's directly inspired by that comic or not. The rules refer to some dorky set similar to Fight Club. Rules 1 & 2 being 'do not talk about /b/.' The weird part is that /b/ doesn't actually have rules, so it's interesting that people think user-created ones are supposed to be followed.

but oh snap, I guess I should brace for some sort of epic raid of some sort.

Also: /b/ refers to the 'random' image boards on the *chan sites.

Haha, WoW. Sorry for the lack of clarification, I guess.

Usually when people break the 'rules,' they get their online and personal information posted up for users to harass, or 'raid.' However, even most users see this as pointless and don't bother with petty individuals and therefore state in response, "not your personal army." That's what bengoshia was referring to earlier.

Rules 1 and 2: Do not talk about you know....(This rule is mainly used to disguise ourselves in raids, though it does contradict itself)
Anonymous hates weeaboos, they're anime losers obsessed with Japan, so am_pm is right.

Usually we raid people for two reasons:
1) The lulz, we do it for the lulz, we might not even have anything against the person but we did it for some lulz(lulz is a corruption of L O L, which means laugh out loud)
2) Because they were asking for it, for instance, Hal Turner was a white surpremacist that deserved to be raided because he was actually black. Tom Green was asking for it because he fails at comedy.
People who sage(You reply to a topic without bumping it) /i/nvasion threads on /b/ tend to be newfags(This is a term we call our "n00bs"), since the raids usually have potential.

Epic raids are epic, epic wins are epic, epic fails are epic, epic canadian milk in bags is epic. Epic = Epic.

Remember: We do own the internet, so don't mess with us, you might want to get a dog and some curtains.

Don't get me wrong, I thoroughly enjoy some of the humor produced on 4chan, but I prefer lurking and observing than actually taking part in the emulation of mass conformity. Not that I'm any less of a conformist, but, it's interesting to watch it. What confuses me the most is the promotion of groupthink. Why is a 'random' group of people sticking to a single pattern of thought? For example, bengoshia, you just stated that anonymous hates 'weeaboos.' The irony of this is the actual amount of anime nerds on these sites.

I mostly have a problem with the way this sort of thinking spills over into spots that it generally doesn't belong. I can have 'epic lulz' with friends that are in on it, but otherwise I think it's silly to bring it somewhere outside of 4chan, or 7chan, or whatever other one. They're mostly the same despite trying to state otherwise.

Requesting a possible topic split? Seems that this could become something of an interesting discussion on such a thing, not sure.
