Yeah… No. Unless we totally ignore original meaning of the word Otaku from Japan and just adjust the definition to suit your view.

Being called a Weeb can be consider a compliment for some people these day.

Not quite. Otaku can effectively be translated as enthusiast. There are anime otakus, miniature otakus, idol otakus, and even gun otakus among others.
Also, using a borrowed word like otaku (or a nonsense word like weeb) to describe someone who watches anime doesn’t actually help when talking to someone outside of the anisphere. Just say you’re a fan of animated TV and/or movies and move on.

hardcore fan vs. cringe fan

I think the two groups should just be called “anime fans” and “weebs”

Weaboo is a person who throws away their nationality and tries to become japanese. Eats rice instead of bread because rice is japanese. Rejects dub and always watches sub because japanese voice is far superior. They dont sleep on bed, they sleep on futon because its japanese. Has a samurai sword collection because its japanese and respects the way of the samurai. Basically japanese cocksuccer, super hardcore fan but its true meaning got normalized and vanished in time.
To be honest I think it’s more cringy to call yourself or others “Otaku”. Must people that I see in videos and such prefer to refer to anime fans as weebs. At least for what I’ve seen.

Otaku is a person who has lots of knowledge about the said topic, usually being Anime. Technically the definition can be used toward anything that the said person is very informed about. Can still get mad about anime BS.
A weeaboo is a person that tries to act like an anime character and makes everyone cringe with how they portray themselves. Typically non-Japanese people yelling Japanese phrases common in anime, etc. Makes me throw up, even when I do it as a joke.
That’s the easiest definition. None of your bullshit you’re saying.

It’s litteraly the exact opposite my guy… the only few people I’ve heard call themselves otaku were the 3 weirdest dudes I have listened to. They probably don’t even know what grass is. On the other hand every chill dude goes to the gym, has a girlfriend, works and watches anime that I know uses the word weeb.
