As someone who grew up on dialup, and professionally works in IT/networking....
No.
Just no.
The natives of the internet are not weebs.
Yeah, it's furries
The natives of the internet are mainly coders from universities, they were the first ones online and they built the protocols we use to communicate. Their code is still in use. They wrote the RFC's that govern everything.
One of my favorites is RFC 1925.

So in other words… Furries.

Who's to say engineers don't like to have fun?
Nope. Furries are a really recent phenomenon.
We've existed since the 80's. The only thing recent about us is the population boom the internet gave us.
But the broader visibility out of the niches is a more recent phenomenon. I'm around the net since the early bulletin boards thanks to my really forward looking parents. And jeah. I've seen shit early on. But furries are something that I've first encountered in their recent form in the late 2000s early 2010s. Andnthat was about 20 years after the first acoustic coupler sounds rang through my parents living room. And I sure as hell didn't shy away from all the places where they could have been encountered.
this is news to all of us greymuzzles with multiple decades invested in the fandom
What? Not in terms of the history of the internet
If I had one wish I would make anime go away. Not because I don't like it...I just REALLY want to see how that plays out.
Seems like it would make a great anime.
An Otaku Who Woke Up In A World Where Anime Got Deleted Forever
"How I Got An Overpowered Ability And Removed Anime : Final Season Part II"
OK! Wait! There is actually one that is basically this premise.
Mahou Shoujo Magical Destroyers
The plot is trash. This is just failed mobile game ad for even more garbage game.
This isn't classic over promise and under deliver. I would say this bait and switch level quality.
Opening song is a banger (#3 in 2023 according to gigguk). For best experience I would say watch first episode and then drop it.
The feedback loop you just created hurts my head.
Have you seen what Japan was like before they had anime? No fucking thanks let them have their cartoons
Damn, this villain arc sounds pretty good
Next I go after the tendies
Now that is a step too FAR
"Some men just want to watch the world burn."
Anime mfs took it from the nerds. This is weebwashing
The Internet equivalent to "white people are the original Americans"
You say that like there's a difference
It's trekkies actually. Weebs were mostly an off-internet phenomenon until the early 2000s.
Haha! So true. The first video I ever downloaded was a fansubbed Cowboy Bebop episode sometime around 2000.
This just makes Trekkies the Africa to the Weebs' Glorious Nippon.
I never wanted to cyberbully so mf bad
god i hate weebs
B.. Bu.. But I love you baka senpai 🥺👉👈
Fucking tsundere.
Ahem...

I used the internet before it had images, it was simply text. So nah. Also this is extremely distasteful and disrespectful to indigenous peoples, even for a shitpost.
I used the internet when it was just tin cans connected with strings. It didn't work very well.
Now that's a quality shitpost
is this what cancel culture has come to?….
throws up hands in defeat
….People pointing out that it is potentially offensive to make disposable jokes about actual genocide and land theft of indigenous peoples just to make a lazy punchline!?!?
I might as well go cancel my dog next, nobody is safe.
Gamers are the true indigenous people.
We were typing in games printed in magazines and hand written from friends.
What in the Illusion is that picture?
I know shitpost and all. But the people pointing to the furries are right. At least in terms of online culture.
Furries were creeping the shit out of normal people online since the internets dawn. They existed long before the weeb culture even became a thing.
Really wish neither of them existed in the first place, tho.
