Yes, yes they should, psyche, and whoo first sigquoted person.

what's with all the hate, guys?
chill your group polarization and act like decent people, k?
I know that part of all this is just joking, but that doesn't change the fact that it's just being intolerant jerkness.
What? It's perfectly fine to suggest the next character be whatever stereotype for the lols or whatever. The point is that you guys are joking about backhanding folk for being weaboos or something. Apparently it's okay to hurt people for their culture? That's okay now? Really? Even if you think said culture is a little creepy, if it isn't stalk-tier creepy or something, then the proper action is just ignore it like a mature adult.
(I removed the word assholery since I prefer not to swear in my arguments unless I need to in order to make my point, which I don't in this case.)
Weeaboo is not a culture. It's someone who's into anime and manga to an unhealthy degree to the point where they begin projecting the culture gleaned from the medium into their own vocabulary despite having little to no understanding of it.
So Pokemaniacs, essentially.
The problem is also that it doesn't stop there. Said people also project their fanaticism onto anyone they meet, too often moving beyond what is socially acceptable and forcing themselves into someone else's personal space. It's further exacerbated when said person refuses to back away/quiet down/stop when asked, and claims that they're being oppressed by someone who doesn't "understand." Essentially, take the nerdiest animu nerd you can imagine, crank their volume knob to 10, and remove their respect for the personal space of others and you have the average weeaboo. An optional and unfortunate addition is the variant who doesn't shower. When people have come into contact with these kinds of people, it ruins the reputation of anyone who is interested in the same hobby to the extent where even the most level-headed individual with a passing interest in said subject is treated the same. This also applies to any other passtime/hobby with an exceptionally obnoxious fanbase. (Examples: Bronys, Fantasy football, D&D, LARPers)
TL;DR - People get in my face with what they like and won't stop, I get in their face with my fist.
Also, as for the implication that I'm personally going to beat the crap out of Dreamscythes231, just stop. Even if it were physically possible, it would be nothing more than a quick wap upside the head for saying something exceptionally stupid and a quick glare saying "don't do it again." Nothing more. I wouldn't want to do any true physical harm to anyone, really. (Though there are exceptions to every rule.)

Which brings us back to "There's having nerdy hobbies and then there's being a Pokemaniac."
This didn't take long to come full circle. I am amused.
one can recognize a joke without finding it funny, they can also choose not backhand anyone about it :P
Anyways I meant that I was using culture because I thought the situation fit the definition, and also that diction was not the main point of concern.
I think that's it for serious business today. I guess I'm just a little Pacifist Aggressive :P
So I think Susie should give Samuel a nice ribbon around his neck. Thoughts?
Monocle Eevee. Yessss.
And a mustache and hat, he needs to be a full fledged gentleman when he wears a monocle.
Samuel: Be Sir Samuel of IDk....where did Susie catch him?
I'd think maybe because there isn't any orange trees, Honey might just spur random battles, or might be a hold item. I say lay the honey out on some of the trees near the sides of the path, and Susie should lie in wait.
(Male Combee :P)
