Orientalism and fetishization of people from the east has been a constant trend since like the 1800′s and has always had deep rooted ties in imperialism and colonialism. By being a weeaboo you *are* taking part in this process of dehumanizing those from the east. Of course weeaboos aren’t the only people who take part in orientalism but they are the most prominent group seen on tumblr. If you are a weeaboo please consider: don’t do that.
