It used to be just weebs, but in the last few years I’ve seen plenty of “normies” (for the lack of a better term) getting into web culture, I.e. travelling to Japan for a week, encountering a vending machine that has hot drinks, and from then on basically becoming Japanese ultranationalists in the way they think Japanese culture should be opposed on all others. While knowing basically nothing about it. It’s strange. Especially for an European person.
