It’s trekkies actually. Weebs were mostly an off-internet phenomenon until the early 2000s.
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
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.
What? Not in terms of the history of the internet
this is news to all of us greymuzzles with multiple decades invested in the fandom
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?
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
“The age of nerds is over, the time of the weebs has come!”
How about you just don’t make this kind of analogy in the year 2024?
Oh no! Somebody is offended!
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
The feedback loop you just created hurts my head.
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.
“How I Got An Overpowered Ability And Removed Anime : Final Season Part II”
Have you seen what Japan was like before they had anime? No fucking thanks let them have their cartoons
“Some men just want to watch the world burn.”
Damn, this villain arc sounds pretty good
Next I go after the tendies
Now that is a step too FAR
What in the Illusion is that picture?
Gamers are the true indigenous people.
We were typing in games printed in magazines and hand written from friends.
Anime pfps are for short, ugly losers with a femdom fetish.
So they are for your mom?
…?
I’m… honestly at a loss for words. I’m so confused by this comment. What does this mean?
Bro. You hear the words “your mom” on the computer screen and you are supposed to start laughing.
But like… I set you up for such an obvious joke. I have an anime pfp. And you didn’t just hit me with the left hook, you grew a third arm and squeezed my balls with it.
congratulations
you have won the award of most creative comment on lemmy (as of 2019)
Voyager doesn’t show profile pics so I had to see OP’s reply to get the joke.
Wow til lemmy has pfps
Now I have to get an anime pfp 😮💨
Weebs are just a subgroup of nerds. And every group of people mentioned in this comment section(gamers, furries, ecc.), too. Nerds are the natives of the Internet. Stop fighting each other.

Ahem…
Points to furry pfp
You know who truly runs this shit. 😎
god i hate weebs
Fucking tsundere.
B… Bu… But I love you baka senpai 🥺👉👈
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.
I never wanted to cyberbully so mf bad
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.
We feel the same about haters like you, don’t worry.
Not really a hater. But ok. You do you, buddy.
Really wish neither of them existed in the first place, tho.
Do you not remember saying this?
…
I give up.
