fr bruh. she seems like the type of person to randomly say Japanese words she's seen in animes . like "omg your dog is so kawaii!!!" "I'm such a yandere!!! i love senpai!!" type of shit
@@TheKewlPerson it really depends. In America I doubt there would be that many Asian restaurants to take offense, because the food they cook here is taken from Asia but is also changed to American tastes and likes
@@TheMACnator He's from My Hero Academia. He's a typical perverted "comedy relief" character, likes to grab boobs and all that. Doesn't really have any other personality or trait beside being a pervert so probably not the best character to be considered 'kings among kings'
I think that high pitched anime voice comes off as offensive because it contributes to the infantilization and fetishization of asian women, even if a non asian person is doing it. Certain archetypal female anime characters are harmful to asian women just like how some archetypal female characters in general american media are harmful to all types of women. Misogyny in anime is rarely addressed i feel like, and im not trying to take all the fun away from anime or anything because its no more guilty than any other form of media but i think its important to acknowledge those things or else you might end up promoting it or condoning it like the girl in the video. Also im editing this to say that my guess is kat or gabriel. Gabriel just seems like a naruto stan and kat seems like she could just be a cosplayer
fr and its one thing if the character is meant to be childish or childlike (for example, hiyoko saionji) but every single character having a high pitched voice and childlike features (and usually curvy bodies in a fetishizing way) is a huge issue
@@user-kg6pr1iv4i Yeah, a huge portion of animes (maybe even the majority, but I can't say) have at least a few mysoginistic elements to it to the point that it becomes very normalized in the medium as a whole. (Ex: "casual" sexual harassment, sexualization of teenage girls, etc.) A lot of the time it's just so expected that an anime will have some of those things that a lot of anime fans don't even recognize those things as even that gross or creepy. And whenever someone brings it up, they're often shut down and told it isn't even a problem in the first place. Hell, most of them probably don't think these depictions fetishize asian women.
this is honestly one of the reasons I don't watch a lot of anime. the first anime (or at least anime type show) I watched was Levius, and that put such a specific expectation in my brain of anime, to the point where I don't find many other animes enjoyable.
they def only voted out caity just cuz they were hella annoying- i know its probably not that deep but acting like that contributes to the fetishization of asian women and its so embarrassing that they were doing that while an actual asian person is also there
Im pretty sure she also took hella long to respond to the messages, so that may have been the main reason why, but if they could see/hear her they might have for that same reason, I follow a few of these people and they’re very anti Asian fetishisation from what I’ve seen

@@JenniferRose23 Ahh you seemed so sweet in this video and like a really great and fun person to hang out with! I hope you guys created that Discord server :)
as a japanese person, the modern day “weeb” culture honestly makes me sick sometimes. i’m totally okay with them indulging and appreciating our shows and what not, but the stereotypes and everything else is gross. they “reclaimed” the term weeaboo which we made to mock them.
I feel like most anime fans who are online KNOW that it’s a phrase made to mock & try their best to be respectful, at least on the sites I’m on. There’s always exceptions but I feel most just enjoy the shows. It tends to be younger kids who embrace the “weeb” title, mainly because they just don’t get it yet.
@@hommefataltaemin 100% it has to do with age and ignorance, you’re right. i love seeing people watch anime and read manga, so i try to teach people to be respectful as calmly as possible lol
Ever since I was a child, I fell in love with anime. When I grew up, enjoying anime/manga as a black person was "geeky" and frowned upon. Over time, I stared to immerse myself in the culture and wanted to travel to Tokyo in order to study abroad. I took a Japanese class in college behind my chairperson's back. (I was a Music Ed piano major and he only approved romance languages.) I ended up being an independent study student and my teacher was extremely gracious. I began to notice something important: Japanese people don't speak like anime characters (in general). A lot of the phrases and stressing of certain vowels came from anime. A lot of stereotypes about high school in Japan were also being passed off as the norm, such as the roof of the school always being open for lunch. I wanted to wear traditional clothing because it was beautiful, but a part of me always knew not to do so. I realize that if I had, I would have begun doing what happens to black people all the time: straight up appropriating Asian culture. Ignorance is bliss, but harmful and I'm glad that I was able to reel myself in and not become disrespectful to actual people. Some of my in-laws are biracial Hawaiian and Japanese, so it's nice to have exposure to real people outside of TV shows and movies. I hope that myself and others learn to be more considerate. Have a nice day everyone. :) P.S. I still cover anime endings from time to time, haha. Good music is good music.
@@BettyAlexandriaPride As a someone who is Japanese, wear the traditional clothing! It's not cultural appropriation if you have made an effort to learn about the culture, which it sounds like you have based on the fact that you've learned the language. If you go to a summer festival in Japan wear a yukata, we honestly love seeing foreigners enjoying the culture :) If you don't feel comfortable with it that's completely okay, but thank you for trying to be respectful about a country that is often fetishized
I am glad Caity was booted first. Let her live her best life, sure, of course. But the amount of y'all disrespecting the Japanese people in the comments when they say she's offensive and culturally insensitive can kick rocks. It's super racist to take a culture and make it your personality, even when that culture is so willing to share and profiting of your superfandom. Idc of its Japan or Jamaica, it's not a good look.
as a jamaican i fking agree. if i hear one more person speak a ton of stereotypes and mimic my accent to me im gonna hv to pull out sakura pigma mirons. and i mean tht dangerously. that caity girl for eg saying "gambarimasu" gives me the same energy as someone saying "wah gwan" trying to mimic accent stereotypes and tonal stereotypes. i wanted to die-
Did people forget that weeb is supposed to be a criticism of non asians fetishizing and appropriating Asian (specifically japanese) culture??? Why defend it? It's not only cringe but it's infuriating as an Asian
Weeb is over used. I'm called a weeb for existing and claiming my half Japanese heritage. It's ridiculous. I know I don't look like what people think a Japanese person should look like but that doesn't change that I am.
Yeah the problem is overuse and then reclamation, iirc it started off as weaboo describing very annoying Japanese culture obsessed weirdos who watch anime but then it got shortened to weeb and started to get overused by people to mean anyone who watches anime and then actual weaboos we're just somehow allowed to reclaim it as an endearing title and it just stuck somehow, and now it's become weirdly more acceptable to be a weeb in the anime "community"
Yeah a lot of people use weeb to just mean a person who likes anime now and use Japanaphile to mean what weeaboo used to mean but it's really weird that they reclaimed the word like it was a slur when it was actually used to criticize really creepy and racist behavior.
The 'anime' character that white girls like Caity play contributes to the fetishization and infantilization of Asian women (like me) that we actually have to deal with in our everyday lives. I've met girls like her who will actually make comments about me being "kawaii" or "so beautiful I wish my eyes looked like yours hehe". They turn another culture into their personality and literally fetishize our culture and our appearances. You can like what you like and do what you want with your life but your actions still have consequences. I cringe because I know there's more to it than just a hobby. To be clear, I want Caity to be happy and to feel secure but I agree with Jarvis's take 100%.
Imagine if a white girl put on a hoodie and was like “yo yo I just love thugs” and we were all like LET HER LIVE SHE LOVES BLACK CULTURE like that’s not black culture lmao she’s being a weirdo
@@Fox_Olive - Also for saying that Mineta is the character he most identifies with. As much as I like MHA, that never sits well with me. I wish they'd at least give Mineta some ounce of depth or redeeming quality other than just being "sexual harassment = funny."
@@Fox_Olive how would he grow besides in his confidence and hero stuff? i don't think he can just grow from being a creep that's most of his character lol
@@phaeste as an anime super fan I hella agree. I think the anime fans mistake Gatekeeping with defending. A lot of people don’t respect anime as a medium and then in response say who can and can’t watch it by some lame criteria. I’ve seen over 100 anime and finished 78. Dub Or sub just watch whatever you like.
good, vote caity out for the high key fetishization and stereotyping. the doll eyes plus all this is exactly what we’re talking abt when we say asian fishing lmao. weeaboo wasn’t a positive term and i’m reclaiming that toward specifically her
@@Purplesquigglystripe uhhh yeah...should we not judge people based on their own actions and words? Because that's what it sounds like you're advocating for and if so then do you realize what a slippery slope you're heading straight for? Where is the line drawn and why draw it?
As a Japanese person, 10000% agree w Jarvis on his opinion on weeb. I accept that Japanese media makes folks happy, upsetting when it is the only source of personality.
god the way some of these people act is mildly annoying as an anime fan, but especially the weaboo girl, I'm glad they voted her out first lmao I'm very picky about the anime I like too so I feel like they would suspect me first if I was in there with them
Yea i feel the same way. I wouldn’t really consider myself an anime fan because i’m not as into anime as most people I like some of the big ones like Sailor Moon, Madoka, Haikyuu, Demon Slayer, and the Studio Ghibli films. I also like some older animes from the 80s and some of the Precure series mostly just because I’m interested in the art styles. It’s weird bc even though I watch a good amount of anime I don’t usually have shows in common with people. It’s kind of like saying you’re a super fan of movies but there’s so much variety.
the person in chat or in general saying people dont deserve to be criticized for annoying behavior is also annoying and most likely a hypocrite, like youre telling me you never judge or complain about anything someone does? i dont believe that, and when someone is mocking a culture and using a language for their own aesthetic it FOR SURE deserves some critiques. like yeah dont bully people but call shit out when its insensitive or offensive.
She’s not being offensive though 😂 she’s not directing this towards anyone she’s not “fetishizing” anything idek where you people get that from she’s being herself and expressing herself you’re trying to judge someone character of a 1 minute clip of them expressing their hobbies. I’ve lived in Japan all throughout high school and parts of middle school i have a few Japanese friends and have experienced the people there I’m also part Korean and can tell you their are Asians who also act just like her expressing themselves via their hobbies and what they like to do regardless if it may seem cringy or annoying to other however no one would say it’s disrespectful or fetishizing just because they are apart of that culture it’s extreme disingenuous and simply hate keeping a culture.
I think what feels uncomfortable about the cosplaying person and other person speaking japanese is that it is imitating the way some shows seem to infantalize women while simultaneously sexualizing them OR sexualizing young characters. When that archetype is done in person as cosplay it feels even more uncomfortable to see because that delivery seems like fetishization of the language on top of the already uncomfortable things I mentioned before.
i watch anime everyday and i’m literally a cosplayer, but i still feel like i would fail this and get voted out immediately. just because i enjoy something doesn’t mean i’m ready to whip out a bunch of random facts especially if it feels super forced. if it’s a casual conversation about one specific anime i can talk for hours but idk i think i’d freeze up if people were like interrogating me about it, especially since i don’t really like the super popular anime’s that are considered “staples.”
I'd suddenly forget every anime I know and answer something like "Happy Sugar Life" when asked about more obscure anime, immediately failing the vibe check.
My immediate response to anything involving "name an anime" is to just check my own MAL to remember what I've even seen. So being asked on the spot to name something obscure enough that it would be seen as obscure, but also known enough that it would be recognized as an obscure anime is so tough. That's such a rough question.
ive watched like three animes in my entire life and i still know about ghost stories. memes from it and compilations of the most chaotic parts have millions and millions of views and everyone likes to talk about the backstory in the comments.
I can get it if he's just talking Mineta up as a joke (which I've done with other MHA fans before; the punchline being that we all know he's awful and no one genuinely likes him), but if he's genuine, it's definitely a red flag. Mineta's whole character is just sexual harassment as a joke. Even his special move during one of the big training arcs was just him creating giant anal beads from his purple balls in the background. It's hard to enjoy a character with no depth or redeeming qualities.
I didn't know who this was so i looked it up, and one of the first articles i saw said quote "minetta is a good character because we love to hate him."
@@Kyran1996 yeah like enjoying a character like teruteru, who actually has depth, is one thing but full-on stanning a character with no depth other than "haha quirky uwu pervert" is a huge red flag. also he has a bodypillow of mineta so it's probably not a joke,,,
@@the-postal-dude I agree, i greatly dislike characters like that. I was just giving an example as to why someone would think he is a good character, a favorite however? That sounds like red flag
Hey it’s Jennifer from the video! Honestly looking back I was sus af😂thanks for reacting!! (Also we are all good friends now, I really did make the discord and a lot of us met up in person!:))
@@weakvsfire but he is a UA-camr in a similar space, it wouldn’t surprise me If they hadn’t crossed paths since curt came for the original channel ferderator version of the beyond the bot since Frederator covers more broad animation topics.
A lot of people seem uncomfortable about the judginess in this, but you have to keep in mind that these people have to play an elimination game against people that they know NOTHING about. They have to judge each other on dumb things like merch just because it's the only way to continue with something like this. I'm sure that in real life these people don't gatekeep based on how niche someones anime knowledge is, or how much merch they own. (At least, I'd like to hope anyway)
Also I think this game wouldn't work because a lot of anime fans can't actually afford anything merch related. all of my stuff that I got was like given to me or I got it super super cheap. for a long time the only "flex" I had was my art that I drew for jojo
I'm not a superfan by any means, but even with the fiction I do hyperfixate on, I don't own much paraphernalia relating to it (other than maybe some shirts, posters, or a crochet doll given to/made for me by friends and family over the years and even then, it's mostly just something as simple as them knowing I like a character or topic and getting me something of said thing). Part of this is due to me being poor and not being able to afford non-necessities, but even if I could, I've never really put a lot of value on materialistic or aesthetic things and have usually been more utilitarian when it comes to my possessions. If I can't and won't really use it, it usually just ends up sitting on a shelf or in a drawer somewhere, gathering dust. The only exception being if they're things I or someone close to me created.
i cosplay a lot (but i just realized next to no anime lol) and my least favorite part of it is when people try to "act" "in character" at cons and shit. like what cait was doing deadpools and spidermen are always the worst offenders and get in your face trying to act funny but weirdly the deadpools typically ask. not the spidermen tho
@@cptnsfti Whose the character? I just thought she was being a maid at those hostess cafes. Also I like when cosplayers are in character at cons at least when meeting little kids as it makes a child's week to think they met their favorite character like they were at Disney. I admire the dedication but outside that and wanted interactions, eh no.
I've never cosplayed but I literally considered that if I did, I'd cosplay as LoZ's Link just because he doesn't talk lol, I thought I'd have an excuse to just follow around whichever friend dragged me there and not speak to anyone... I guess not then, back to having no plans of ever trying cosplay LOL
My problem with overly "anime behavior" is that those people will do that in public and especially abroad, e.g. in japan, where they will blur our some aniume lin, make a mistake in polite tone and be shunned.
i feel like it’s hard to fake being an anime fan, as someone who knows little about it idk how i’d go about lying about that. especially because anime shows are usually sooo long, there’s no way they could like catch themselves up in time to get enough knowledge for the show, right? idk, i just started watching this so let’s see how it goes i guess 🤷♀️ edit: someone in the chat just said the same & jarvis said he agrees hahaha, glad i’m not the only one thinking that
A typical anime season is only 12 or 13 episodes, and nothing except the EXTREMLY popular shows get greenlit for more than 2 seasons - so that's 26 episodes max. You're right that the mega-popular shows do go on for a very long time, but honestly, if you only like the popular shows, that's one of the big flags to me that you might not actually be an anime fan because you don't even know anything less popular. For example, Jarvis was suspicious of Gabriel because he only mentioned very, very, very popular shows (Dragon Ball, Naruto, One Piece, and My Hero Academia). Each of those shows is very long (all over 100 episodes, some over 1000), but they're also extremely basic interests that are fairly easy to fake. On the flip side, a show like Bannana Fish (which is the show that convinced people Noodle is a real anime fan) is only 24 episodes because it's fairly niche. Also, Jennifer didn't talk much about any specific anime, she just talked about satellite interests that many fans also have - her big thing was Danganronpa, which isn't even an anime, it's a series of video games. Nonetheless, there wasn't a whole lot of skepticism over her because she just had the right "vibe" of an anime fan. I think the winning strategy here if you're not an actual anime fan is to pick one obscure show that's just a single season long and learn all you can about that, and then fake your way through knowledge of the popular shows. And if someone catches you out saying something wrong about... idk, Dragon Ball or whatever, just fall back by saying "oh, I haven't actually watched it, shonen isn't really my thing"
The minute they said take a photo of your possessions I knew I'd be considered fake because I don't have much merch solely because when I got into anime it was before it blew up and was therefore MUCH harder to buy stuff. Really it was all about the manga and dvds. That was it. That was your flex. Extra flex if you had Japanese versions. Now, it's more accesible but so are 99 other things I've always loved so while i can afford it and what not, my collection will never be anything SUPER impressive. But I do have a few star pieces so *shrug*
Caity is probably a sweet person but she just looks like she’s one of those weeaboos who attach themselves to asian people, regardless of whether they’re Japanese or not and if they are, she calls them “-chan” and casually throws out broken japanese to show her “fluency” lmfaoooo Also, deadass laughed so hard when Jarvis said Curt was sus for the Demon Slayer hoodie off amazon (that he was wearing) and the person in the chat who said he was the fake, when he’s a moderately well known anime-tuber.
there's a difference between cosplaying and trying to ACT like an anime character in your real life. it's not even that it's cringe, it borders on fetishization. edit: also, most anime fans don't want to call themselves weebs. most would go with "otaku." weeb itself has a negative connotation of someone who is obsessive. otaku is just a reference of someone who consumes japanese media.
I used to think like that. I would try to get people to call me an Otaku instead of Weeb. Now I don't really care. Anime fans now use Weeb to describe themselves and the meaning has kind of changed to just mean a big anime fan.
@@tuffdude7795 you're not wrong, and i definitely don't care enough to correct someone in day to day, but when having a discussion about the harmful consumption of anime, i think it's helpful to make the distinction.
@@phoenixc8328 true! i just think acting like an anime character if you aren't in cosplay is touchy. im a cosplayer myself and i would truly feel like im being inappropriate if i acted like an anime chara when im alone or with my friends.
@@fishtick i personally feel more confident bc of certain anime characters or sometimes i just relate a lot to them and like to act like them. none of this "uwu kawaii desu senpai owo" stuff
A lot of people who like naruto will trash naruto. Myself included. Caity makes me really uncomfortable. There was no legal sites when I was growing up. And yep jarvis is a fuckin nerd to know stuff like persona 5 is mainly a game but has an anime.
@Rachel Ann it’s a good series I’ll say that but maybe don’t give people a college dissertation on why you should watch persona for Halloween. That being said I do recommend watching persona 4 the animation if you are into anime.
@@supervegito8340 tbh you dont need to be a super nerd to know that persona 5 has a game and anime, its a pretty popular game and netflix has the anime so it's likely that someone stumbled upon it. if you know that persona 3 and 4 also have animes/ movies and how many then i agree
Part of me wonders what would have happened if they weren’t all mostly shounen fans. Like, I watched a ton of anime and read a ton of manga in middle and early high school, but so much of it was obscure shoujo. Some of it was shounen, but a lot of it wasn’t. There seems to be a very specific idea of what an “anime fan” is in this video.
"Not a fan of the weeb shaming" Ok, but "weeb" or "weabu" isn't just the equivalent of "nerd" or "geek". It's a term for super obsessed people that make it their whole personality and fetishize Japan. It's not something to wear with honor. It's not just a term for a fan of anime and manga.
I don't wanna be rude, but I'm kinda glad that person got voted out first just because quite honestly, if they were in any longer, I don't think I would've been able to keep watchin- don't get me wrong, people are allowed to do whatever they want, but anime and actin like an anime character doesn't translate well into the real world. It gets very annoying very fast, honestly-
you’re so right about how anime stereotypes are annoying for people trying to get into anime, its so frustrating when people scream at each other for not having the same interests as everyone else but like you cannot physically have the same interests as the entire community, everyone is into different stuff and acting like there’s some kind of standard or right opinion is just plain stupid
I loved anime from the first episode of Pokemon I watched when I was a small small boy. I continued to watch it every day through elementary and middle school. But only me and my two best friends did in my grade, so I was sheltered to the community. Then I went to high school and met the "anime club." I stopped watching anime for 8 years after that.
I'd lose at the Anime Flex as my DB and FMA 2003 (lol I also own that shirt Antoine had) collection isn't on display as I move yearly. I can't just show my 1:1 scale Vegeta bust but I do have proof it exists, my bank acct never fully recovered lol. Also don't think it should count at all as what if you're poor? 🥺
Lmao, I’ve watched way to much anime, read a shit load of manga, it was a big part of my childhood and now I’m studying Japanese, but I would’ve been voted off immediately because I own 0 merch, read manga online, and don’t make it my entire identity. Idk feels like the culture is super gatekeepery and cringe :/
11:26 it happens to me too, but im a slightly different way…im brown and random white people will come up to me and start speaking hindi which is so awkward and weird for me. it’s annoying on top of that bc hindi is a north indian language and im south indian + i do not speak hindi lol
Bro I watch Curt on his own channel so I already knew that he was good. I never knew he actually did games like this before so this was super cool to watch
I cant believe someone was defending caity lol. Putting on a fake high pitched anime voice and doing the snippets of Japanese in an anime voice is so fetishizing. Its just cringe. It gives very much 15 year old energy
It reminds me of the 11-15 year olds i knew before i turned into a hermit and went to a school with 12 students in the morning and about the same later and luckily didn't run into any weeby teenagers after that.
lel it's not fake. you'd be surprised, but ladies with high pitched voices do indeed exist. and she didn't thow out any more j-slang than anyone elses in the video? do you have a problem with english loan words?
i used to adore anime, but i went to a local anime club a couple of times and was made to feel like an idiot because i (who was like 14 at the time, had basically no money and could only buy whatever anime was available in HMV) i only watched dubbed anime (what was available to me), because i hadn't watched a bunch of obscure shows, because i didn't download stuff illegally and because i liked 'popular' shows. it put me off so much but i kept at watching anime for years. i did watch mostly subbed later on, and for the most part i like it more than dub, but now i'm too tired to read subtitles so i dont watch anime any more, and i'm so behind on all the shows that i'll never catch up. so i'm an old-school anime fan. I still love me some Cardcaptor sakura, digimon, hunterxhunter, ouran high school host club, tenchi, and some other shows. but i'm not up to date by any means.
Honestly my anime story would be that when I was 15 years old I dyed my hair like Todoroki from BNHA (IM NOT JOKING) and I was waiting from the bus and someone shouted out the window of their car "TODOROKIIIII!!!" as they drove by. I was a weeb. Like-- embarrassingly so

also Jennifer was so sweet lol
Hi it’s the real jennifer thank you😭❤️
I was suspecting her the whole time until she said that. It eased my suspicion but killed me inside ;(
i adore Jennifer 😭
I dunno, I know that one and FMA is pretty much the only anime I've ever watched. I haven't even watched Brotherhood, altho I've been meaning to.
@@JenniferRose23 Ahh you seemed so sweet in this video and like a really great and fun person to hang out with! I hope you guys created that Discord server :)
as a japanese person, the modern day “weeb” culture honestly makes me sick sometimes. i’m totally okay with them indulging and appreciating our shows and what not, but the stereotypes and everything else is gross. they “reclaimed” the term weeaboo which we made to mock them.
I feel like most anime fans who are online KNOW that it’s a phrase made to mock & try their best to be respectful, at least on the sites I’m on. There’s always exceptions but I feel most just enjoy the shows. It tends to be younger kids who embrace the “weeb” title, mainly because they just don’t get it yet.
@@hommefataltaemin 100% it has to do with age and ignorance, you’re right. i love seeing people watch anime and read manga, so i try to teach people to be respectful as calmly as possible lol
Ever since I was a child, I fell in love with anime. When I grew up, enjoying anime/manga as a black person was "geeky" and frowned upon. Over time, I stared to immerse myself in the culture and wanted to travel to Tokyo in order to study abroad.
I took a Japanese class in college behind my chairperson's back. (I was a Music Ed piano major and he only approved romance languages.) I ended up being an independent study student and my teacher was extremely gracious. I began to notice something important:
Japanese people don't speak like anime characters (in general). A lot of the phrases and stressing of certain vowels came from anime. A lot of stereotypes about high school in Japan were also being passed off as the norm, such as the roof of the school always being open for lunch. I wanted to wear traditional clothing because it was beautiful, but a part of me always knew not to do so. I realize that if I had, I would have begun doing what happens to black people all the time: straight up appropriating Asian culture.
Ignorance is bliss, but harmful and I'm glad that I was able to reel myself in and not become disrespectful to actual people. Some of my in-laws are biracial Hawaiian and Japanese, so it's nice to have exposure to real people outside of TV shows and movies. I hope that myself and others learn to be more considerate.
Have a nice day everyone. :)
P.S. I still cover anime endings from time to time, haha. Good music is good music.
@@BettyAlexandriaPride As a someone who is Japanese, wear the traditional clothing! It's not cultural appropriation if you have made an effort to learn about the culture, which it sounds like you have based on the fact that you've learned the language. If you go to a summer festival in Japan wear a yukata, we honestly love seeing foreigners enjoying the culture :)
If you don't feel comfortable with it that's completely okay, but thank you for trying to be respectful about a country that is often fetishized
i hate how they think that “weeaboo” is just something to be okay with? do they know WHY it’s an insult?
Caity was acting like a weeaboo, not an anime fan, and that kind of behavior totally deserves a call out.
I am glad Caity was booted first. Let her live her best life, sure, of course. But the amount of y'all disrespecting the Japanese people in the comments when they say she's offensive and culturally insensitive can kick rocks. It's super racist to take a culture and make it your personality, even when that culture is so willing to share and profiting of your superfandom. Idc of its Japan or Jamaica, it's not a good look.
as a jamaican i fking agree. if i hear one more person speak a ton of stereotypes and mimic my accent to me im gonna hv to pull out sakura pigma mirons. and i mean tht dangerously. that caity girl for eg saying "gambarimasu" gives me the same energy as someone saying "wah gwan" trying to mimic accent stereotypes and tonal stereotypes. i wanted to die-
The chat was relentless lmao🤣
@@aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.. what? do jamaicans actually sound like that, ngl im glad they voted that girl off though
wait, are you attacking or defending Caity?
Oli London insane?
Did people forget that weeb is supposed to be a criticism of non asians fetishizing and appropriating Asian (specifically japanese) culture??? Why defend it? It's not only cringe but it's infuriating as an Asian
Agreed.
Weeb is over used. I'm called a weeb for existing and claiming my half Japanese heritage. It's ridiculous. I know I don't look like what people think a Japanese person should look like but that doesn't change that I am.
I’m Asian. I don’t care if people like Asian things. In fact, I benefit from it because that means more and better bubble tea shops.
Yeah the problem is overuse and then reclamation, iirc it started off as weaboo describing very annoying Japanese culture obsessed weirdos who watch anime but then it got shortened to weeb and started to get overused by people to mean anyone who watches anime and then actual weaboos we're just somehow allowed to reclaim it as an endearing title and it just stuck somehow, and now it's become weirdly more acceptable to be a weeb in the anime "community"
Yeah a lot of people use weeb to just mean a person who likes anime now and use Japanaphile to mean what weeaboo used to mean but it's really weird that they reclaimed the word like it was a slur when it was actually used to criticize really creepy and racist behavior.
The 'anime' character that white girls like Caity play contributes to the fetishization and infantilization of Asian women (like me) that we actually have to deal with in our everyday lives. I've met girls like her who will actually make comments about me being "kawaii" or "so beautiful I wish my eyes looked like yours hehe". They turn another culture into their personality and literally fetishize our culture and our appearances. You can like what you like and do what you want with your life but your actions still have consequences. I cringe because I know there's more to it than just a hobby. To be clear, I want Caity to be happy and to feel secure but I agree with Jarvis's take 100%.
Imagine if a white girl put on a hoodie and was like “yo yo I just love thugs” and we were all like LET HER LIVE SHE LOVES BLACK CULTURE like that’s not black culture lmao she’s being a weirdo
Interesting take...
Gabriel does not pass the vibe check for liking mineta 🤢
Bro the author does not pass the vibe check for not improving mineta at all over the years. Like damn, everyone gets to grow as a character except him
@@Fox_Olive Also true
@@Fox_Olive - Also for saying that Mineta is the character he most identifies with. As much as I like MHA, that never sits well with me. I wish they'd at least give Mineta some ounce of depth or redeeming quality other than just being "sexual harassment = funny."

@@Fox_Olive how would he grow besides in his confidence and hero stuff? i don't think he can just grow from being a creep that's most of his character lol
I think people really gotta stop gatekeeping anime, it’s for everyone so everyone should just enjoy it!
I kind of agree and disagree at the same time
@@awsomedude23456 it's literally just movies and shows, no matter how much or little someone likes it, let em watch it and dont be a prick
@@phaeste as an anime super fan I hella agree. I think the anime fans mistake Gatekeeping with defending. A lot of people don’t respect anime as a medium and then in response say who can and can’t watch it by some lame criteria. I’ve seen over 100 anime and finished 78. Dub Or sub just watch whatever you like.
@@St4rsl4y3r no one should watch it 💀
Everything isn’t for everyone
good, vote caity out for the high key fetishization and stereotyping. the doll eyes plus all this is exactly what we’re talking abt when we say asian fishing lmao. weeaboo wasn’t a positive term and i’m reclaiming that toward specifically her
i love how since he’s just uploading old streams it seems like whenever i don’t have anything to watch he posts
As a Japanese person, Caity is extremely annoying and pretty offensive
whites 🤷🏽♂️
Judgmental much?
@@Purplesquigglystripe I'm not being judgemental what she was doing was insensitive at Best
@@Purplesquigglystripe Judging somebody based on how they act is something you do every single day
@@Purplesquigglystripe uhhh yeah...should we not judge people based on their own actions and words? Because that's what it sounds like you're advocating for and if so then do you realize what a slippery slope you're heading straight for? Where is the line drawn and why draw it?
As a Japanese person, 10000% agree w Jarvis on his opinion on weeb. I accept that Japanese media makes folks happy, upsetting when it is the only source of personality.
god the way some of these people act is mildly annoying as an anime fan, but especially the weaboo girl, I'm glad they voted her out first lmao
I'm very picky about the anime I like too so I feel like they would suspect me first if I was in there with them
Yea i feel the same way. I wouldn’t really consider myself an anime fan because i’m not as into anime as most people I like some of the big ones like Sailor Moon, Madoka, Haikyuu, Demon Slayer, and the Studio Ghibli films. I also like some older animes from the 80s and some of the Precure series mostly just because I’m interested in the art styles.
It’s weird bc even though I watch a good amount of anime I don’t usually have shows in common with people. It’s kind of like saying you’re a super fan of movies but there’s so much variety.
I distrust anyone who unironically likes Mineta.
the person in chat or in general saying people dont deserve to be criticized for annoying behavior is also annoying and most likely a hypocrite, like youre telling me you never judge or complain about anything someone does? i dont believe that, and when someone is mocking a culture and using a language for their own aesthetic it FOR SURE deserves some critiques. like yeah dont bully people but call shit out when its insensitive or offensive.
She’s not being offensive though 😂 she’s not directing this towards anyone she’s not “fetishizing” anything idek where you people get that from she’s being herself and expressing herself you’re trying to judge someone character of a 1 minute clip of them expressing their hobbies. I’ve lived in Japan all throughout high school and parts of middle school i have a few Japanese friends and have experienced the people there I’m also part Korean and can tell you their are Asians who also act just like her expressing themselves via their hobbies and what they like to do regardless if it may seem cringy or annoying to other however no one would say it’s disrespectful or fetishizing just because they are apart of that culture it’s extreme disingenuous and simply hate keeping a culture.
I think what feels uncomfortable about the cosplaying person and other person speaking japanese is that it is imitating the way some shows seem to infantalize women while simultaneously sexualizing them OR sexualizing young characters. When that archetype is done in person as cosplay it feels even more uncomfortable to see because that delivery seems like fetishization of the language on top of the already uncomfortable things I mentioned before.
They're fetishising Japanese culture
That’s a great way to put it into words, I wondered why it felt so uncomfortable
i watch anime everyday and i’m literally a cosplayer, but i still feel like i would fail this and get voted out immediately. just because i enjoy something doesn’t mean i’m ready to whip out a bunch of random facts especially if it feels super forced. if it’s a casual conversation about one specific anime i can talk for hours but idk i think i’d freeze up if people were like interrogating me about it, especially since i don’t really like the super popular anime’s that are considered “staples.”
The obscure anime question really got me, i watched a ton of anime but just kinda blanked, also buy very few things to save money
I'd suddenly forget every anime I know and answer something like "Happy Sugar Life" when asked about more obscure anime, immediately failing the vibe check.
My immediate response to anything involving "name an anime" is to just check my own MAL to remember what I've even seen. So being asked on the spot to name something obscure enough that it would be seen as obscure, but also known enough that it would be recognized as an obscure anime is so tough. That's such a rough question.
A true test of an anime fan is the dub of ghost stories. A true anime fan knows about ghost stories and the story behind the dub
a true ghost stories fan will refuse to ever watch the original because in all our hearts the dub is the real original
@@phaeste yes.
I feel like most people who know about anime also know about the Ghost Stories dub. It stopped being niche years ago.
bruh that's buzzfeed level pop media trivia
ive watched like three animes in my entire life and i still know about ghost stories. memes from it and compilations of the most chaotic parts have millions and millions of views and everyone likes to talk about the backstory in the comments.
honestly anyone whos favorite character is minetta is... questionable at best considering what minetta is like
I can get it if he's just talking Mineta up as a joke (which I've done with other MHA fans before; the punchline being that we all know he's awful and no one genuinely likes him), but if he's genuine, it's definitely a red flag. Mineta's whole character is just sexual harassment as a joke. Even his special move during one of the big training arcs was just him creating giant anal beads from his purple balls in the background. It's hard to enjoy a character with no depth or redeeming qualities.
I didn't know who this was so i looked it up, and one of the first articles i saw said quote "minetta is a good character because we love to hate him."
@@Kyran1996 yeah like enjoying a character like teruteru, who actually has depth, is one thing but full-on stanning a character with no depth other than "haha quirky uwu pervert" is a huge red flag. also he has a bodypillow of mineta so it's probably not a joke,,,
@@jordanrayne4779 his whole character is sexual harassment (played as a joke.) he has no depth. he is not a good character.
@@the-postal-dude I agree, i greatly dislike characters like that. I was just giving an example as to why someone would think he is a good character, a favorite however? That sounds like red flag

Fucking same…I was like how do none of these anime fans not recognize him. I guess I always forget how big UA-cam is.
@@CrookedMarc The thing is the fake fan one is the one who recognized Curt.
@@weakvsfire but he is a UA-camr in a similar space, it wouldn’t surprise me
If they hadn’t crossed paths since curt came for the original channel ferderator version of the beyond the bot since Frederator covers more broad animation topics.
Same- it hurt me to read the chat too, like when they saying he was sus
Nobody who owns Mineta merchandise has my trust.
Antione was such a go back and forth because I recognized him immediately as an Avatar UA-camr and I was like but is Avatar an anime or not???
Oh my god he’s that avatar UA-camr guy!! Woah I can’t believe I didn’t notice
No an anime is a Japanese animation and avatar, while based off of anime and Asian cultures as a whole, it's not made in Japan, it was in America
Same thing happened to me with Curt, since I know him from a different anime channel lol
Yeah and curt works for get in the robot
@@vvvvvv66666 Hey btw they made a new channel called Beyond the Bot now because of the company owning Get in the Robot shutting it down
Caity is giving very much middle schooler going through anime phase. I get it, I've been there
A lot of people seem uncomfortable about the judginess in this, but you have to keep in mind that these people have to play an elimination game against people that they know NOTHING about. They have to judge each other on dumb things like merch just because it's the only way to continue with something like this. I'm sure that in real life these people don't gatekeep based on how niche someones anime knowledge is, or how much merch they own. (At least, I'd like to hope anyway)
Also I think this game wouldn't work because a lot of anime fans can't actually afford anything merch related. all of my stuff that I got was like given to me or I got it super super cheap. for a long time the only "flex" I had was my art that I drew for jojo
I'm not a superfan by any means, but even with the fiction I do hyperfixate on, I don't own much paraphernalia relating to it (other than maybe some shirts, posters, or a crochet doll given to/made for me by friends and family over the years and even then, it's mostly just something as simple as them knowing I like a character or topic and getting me something of said thing). Part of this is due to me being poor and not being able to afford non-necessities, but even if I could, I've never really put a lot of value on materialistic or aesthetic things and have usually been more utilitarian when it comes to my possessions. If I can't and won't really use it, it usually just ends up sitting on a shelf or in a drawer somewhere, gathering dust. The only exception being if they're things I or someone close to me created.
You see, I have no problem with how Catie was dressed like- really at all. It's more the over saturated as well as stereotypical behavior.
i cosplay a lot (but i just realized next to no anime lol) and my least favorite part of it is when people try to "act" "in character" at cons and shit. like what cait was doing
deadpools and spidermen are always the worst offenders and get in your face trying to act funny but weirdly the deadpools typically ask. not the spidermen tho
I promise you caity was not acting in character at all lmao
@@cptnsfti oh so shes just like that. okay thats somehow worse
@@coatimundi69 yeah, the character she’s cosplaying is really shy and reserved lmao
@@cptnsfti Whose the character? I just thought she was being a maid at those hostess cafes.
Also I like when cosplayers are in character at cons at least when meeting little kids as it makes a child's week to think they met their favorite character like they were at Disney. I admire the dedication but outside that and wanted interactions, eh no.
I've never cosplayed but I literally considered that if I did, I'd cosplay as LoZ's Link just because he doesn't talk lol, I thought I'd have an excuse to just follow around whichever friend dragged me there and not speak to anyone... I guess not then, back to having no plans of ever trying cosplay LOL
ive never wanted to scream at someone like i have with caity, and ive never been so happy to see someone get eliminated first like i have with caity.
“People always be disrespecting Mineta” FOR GOOD REASON
My problem with overly "anime behavior" is that those people will do that in public and especially abroad, e.g. in japan, where they will blur our some aniume lin, make a mistake in polite tone and be shunned.
These folks bashing my boy, Curt! He’s got an anime channel with some other folks (beyond the bot is their current one)
i feel like it’s hard to fake being an anime fan, as someone who knows little about it idk how i’d go about lying about that. especially because anime shows are usually sooo long, there’s no way they could like catch themselves up in time to get enough knowledge for the show, right? idk, i just started watching this so let’s see how it goes i guess 🤷♀️
edit: someone in the chat just said the same & jarvis said he agrees hahaha, glad i’m not the only one thinking that
A typical anime season is only 12 or 13 episodes, and nothing except the EXTREMLY popular shows get greenlit for more than 2 seasons - so that's 26 episodes max.
You're right that the mega-popular shows do go on for a very long time, but honestly, if you only like the popular shows, that's one of the big flags to me that you might not actually be an anime fan because you don't even know anything less popular. For example, Jarvis was suspicious of Gabriel because he only mentioned very, very, very popular shows (Dragon Ball, Naruto, One Piece, and My Hero Academia). Each of those shows is very long (all over 100 episodes, some over 1000), but they're also extremely basic interests that are fairly easy to fake.
On the flip side, a show like Bannana Fish (which is the show that convinced people Noodle is a real anime fan) is only 24 episodes because it's fairly niche.
Also, Jennifer didn't talk much about any specific anime, she just talked about satellite interests that many fans also have - her big thing was Danganronpa, which isn't even an anime, it's a series of video games. Nonetheless, there wasn't a whole lot of skepticism over her because she just had the right "vibe" of an anime fan.
I think the winning strategy here if you're not an actual anime fan is to pick one obscure show that's just a single season long and learn all you can about that, and then fake your way through knowledge of the popular shows. And if someone catches you out saying something wrong about... idk, Dragon Ball or whatever, just fall back by saying "oh, I haven't actually watched it, shonen isn't really my thing"
The minute they said take a photo of your possessions I knew I'd be considered fake because I don't have much merch solely because when I got into anime it was before it blew up and was therefore MUCH harder to buy stuff. Really it was all about the manga and dvds. That was it. That was your flex. Extra flex if you had Japanese versions.
Now, it's more accesible but so are 99 other things I've always loved so while i can afford it and what not, my collection will never be anything SUPER impressive. But I do have a few star pieces so *shrug*
Curt richy being on Jarvis’s Stream is the Softboy crossover I didn’t know I needed
I was so happy seeing the tumbnail 😭 (I love Curt and the other chanels hes on)
(Minor spelling mistakes)
weeb shaming is always morally correct
Danganronpa is mainly a game series, but it also has a couple of animes, a lot of light novels, some mangas and theater plays
i was sooo hoping caity was the imposter, she sold it WAY too well lmao
Anyone realize the search bar says lil nas x maury?
You know what? I bet Antoine recognized Curt because he watched his videos for research.
Caity is probably a sweet person but she just looks like she’s one of those weeaboos who attach themselves to asian people, regardless of whether they’re Japanese or not and if they are, she calls them “-chan” and casually throws out broken japanese to show her “fluency” lmfaoooo
Also, deadass laughed so hard when Jarvis said Curt was sus for the Demon Slayer hoodie off amazon (that he was wearing) and the person in the chat who said he was the fake, when he’s a moderately well known anime-tuber.
there's a difference between cosplaying and trying to ACT like an anime character in your real life. it's not even that it's cringe, it borders on fetishization.
edit: also, most anime fans don't want to call themselves weebs. most would go with "otaku." weeb itself has a negative connotation of someone who is obsessive. otaku is just a reference of someone who consumes japanese media.
I used to think like that. I would try to get people to call me an Otaku instead of Weeb. Now I don't really care. Anime fans now use Weeb to describe themselves and the meaning has kind of changed to just mean a big anime fan.
@@tuffdude7795 you're not wrong, and i definitely don't care enough to correct someone in day to day, but when having a discussion about the harmful consumption of anime, i think it's helpful to make the distinction.
i think acting like characters you like or cosplay is different from being a weeb and fetishizing like caity
@@phoenixc8328 true! i just think acting like an anime character if you aren't in cosplay is touchy. im a cosplayer myself and i would truly feel like im being inappropriate if i acted like an anime chara when im alone or with my friends.

I AM SO HAPPY THAT CAITY GOT VOTED OUT FIRST
Part of me wonders what would have happened if they weren’t all mostly shounen fans. Like, I watched a ton of anime and read a ton of manga in middle and early high school, but so much of it was obscure shoujo. Some of it was shounen, but a lot of it wasn’t. There seems to be a very specific idea of what an “anime fan” is in this video.
"Not a fan of the weeb shaming"
Ok, but "weeb" or "weabu" isn't just the equivalent of "nerd" or "geek". It's a term for super obsessed people that make it their whole personality and fetishize Japan. It's not something to wear with honor. It's not just a term for a fan of anime and manga.
Exactly this!!!!!
I don't wanna be rude, but I'm kinda glad that person got voted out first just because quite honestly, if they were in any longer, I don't think I would've been able to keep watchin- don't get me wrong, people are allowed to do whatever they want, but anime and actin like an anime character doesn't translate well into the real world. It gets very annoying very fast, honestly-
caity was doing more than acting like an anime character
you’re so right about how anime stereotypes are annoying for people trying to get into anime, its so frustrating when people scream at each other for not having the same interests as everyone else but like you cannot physically have the same interests as the entire community, everyone is into different stuff and acting like there’s some kind of standard or right opinion is just plain stupid
I'm here to answer the "does anyone identify as a manga fan exclusively" and the answer is yes, I do LOL
I cannot believe that one guy seriously has a pillow of Mineta…. Like the worst possible character….
I loved anime from the first episode of Pokemon I watched when I was a small small boy. I continued to watch it every day through elementary and middle school. But only me and my two best friends did in my grade, so I was sheltered to the community. Then I went to high school and met the "anime club." I stopped watching anime for 8 years after that.
I basically only read manga now. I don't have the attention span for the shows anymore.
I definitely identify as a Manga fan over an Anime fan. I've watched a few series of anime all the way through and I own....about 1,000 manga
how rich r u omg
nah weeb-shaming is completely okay, not everything should be normalized
caity was unbearable, what's even worse was that she was cosplaying my best love live girl 😭
8 minutes in was when I realized that she was cosplaying hanayo and I wanted to cry
I don't get why they're typically when they're on video call? My dyslexic ass couldn’t
Ngl Caity kinda looks like the one girl in icarly who like kidnapped them in her basement
Just a huge fyi that cosplayers don't all look and act like Caity do. They're usually not cringy at all.
I'd lose at the Anime Flex as my DB and FMA 2003 (lol I also own that shirt Antoine had) collection isn't on display as I move yearly. I can't just show my 1:1 scale Vegeta bust but I do have proof it exists, my bank acct never fully recovered lol.
Also don't think it should count at all as what if you're poor? 🥺

As a Japanese person Caity is kinda racist and very disrespectful...
Bruh someone in the chat said RWBY wasn't anime, but it is one lol
you know i hate the fact that they passed up the idea of "odd fan out" its so much better in that case 🙄
The way people are trying to take back the word weeaboo...
I cant believe someone was defending caity lol. Putting on a fake high pitched anime voice and doing the snippets of Japanese in an anime voice is so fetishizing. Its just cringe. It gives very much 15 year old energy
It reminds me of the 11-15 year olds i knew before i turned into a hermit and went to a school with 12 students in the morning and about the same later and luckily didn't run into any weeby teenagers after that.
lel it's not fake. you'd be surprised, but ladies with high pitched voices do indeed exist. and she didn't thow out any more j-slang than anyone elses in the video? do you have a problem with english loan words?
@@hamjamradio8583 i haven't watched the video but didn't her voice lower at some point?
1:08 I SEE A JOJO POSE
omg stone mask
ugh I'm jojo brainrot
i used to adore anime, but i went to a local anime club a couple of times and was made to feel like an idiot because i (who was like 14 at the time, had basically no money and could only buy whatever anime was available in HMV) i only watched dubbed anime (what was available to me), because i hadn't watched a bunch of obscure shows, because i didn't download stuff illegally and because i liked 'popular' shows. it put me off so much but i kept at watching anime for years.
i did watch mostly subbed later on, and for the most part i like it more than dub, but now i'm too tired to read subtitles so i dont watch anime any more, and i'm so behind on all the shows that i'll never catch up. so i'm an old-school anime fan. I still love me some Cardcaptor sakura, digimon, hunterxhunter, ouran high school host club, tenchi, and some other shows. but i'm not up to date by any means.
Curt really is reeling from that anime betrayal.
omgs i love it when they ask "can we be friends" it's so wholesome
There's so much anime content and obscure merch that it's just not hard to be an "anime superfan".
LMFAO I GOT A NOSEBLEED WHEN CAITY CAME ON SCREEN
Honestly my anime story would be that when I was 15 years old I dyed my hair like Todoroki from BNHA (IM NOT JOKING) and I was waiting from the bus and someone shouted out the window of their car "TODOROKIIIII!!!" as they drove by.
I was a weeb. Like-- embarrassingly so
Before reveal: Calling it, Caity's the fake.
After reveal: aww.
