weeb

A fan (male or female) of popular Japanese culture, especially anime and manga. Usually, they are also interested in Japan itself, Japanese cuisine, Japanese customs, and sometimes its history. This word is a shortened form of the derogatory noun “weeaboo,” and as such, the words are sometimes used in similar contexts. However, there is a prevailing tendency to differentiate their meanings: a weeaboo is obsessively (though superficially) interested in Japanese culture to the extent of negating or even renouncing their own culture, while a weeb is simply a kind of “Japanophile” (see, e.g., the discussion on this topic on Slang.pl https://slang.pl/weeb/).
