Description: A giant snake lady sits in a lake. A man stands next to the edge of the lake and asks, “O snake of the lake, what is your wisdom?”
The snake replies, "Osamu Tezuka, the inventory of manga and anime, created old-school furry icons like Kimba and Bagi and had a secret collection of erotic furry art that he made which was only found after his death; so weebs are really just a human-focused offshoot of furries.

Furries are centered around anthropomorphic animals. Anthropomorphic means it has human traits. Humans are an animal species. Humans have human traits by definition, therefore humans are technically anthropomorphic animals, therefore all art of humans is technically a subset of furry art.

Snake lady is from Prophecy by Zummeng. (Very NSFW) Images taken from page 9, panels 3 and 5.
Weebs also like to forget that (iirc) the furry community was started by a bunch of cartoonists who imported and distributed anime bootlegs during a time when anime was nearly impossible to get in the US. Weebs should be thanking the founders of the furry community for making their fandom possible.

Hahaha, that’s funny. Where would you go to find that art so that way I can totally avoid it? Asking for a friend! Who definitely isn’t interested in this or anything!
I don’t know if there’s a complete collection anywhere, but here’s a Shincho Monthly article that has some of it (obviously NSFW): https://archive.org/details/erotica_of_osamu_tezuka
Most of it is transformation fetish stuff, ranging from human->anthro stuff to weirder inanimate and body-horror-esque/“what-has-science-done” kinda transformation art. Tbh I kinda wonder how much of it was really fetish fuel and how much of it was artistic musings. Some of the drawings are so bizarre that it’s hard to believe that they’d actually trigger someone’s fetish and seem more like he was just exploring surreal transformations.
Then again, I’ve been exposed to a lot of obviously pornographic art that normies would think was too weird to be fetish material, so I’m probably mistaken.

I didn’t know what I was expecting, but that felt just a little disappointing. Still pretty interesting to look at, though.

I just finished watching shogun, and really enjoyed it…does this make me a weeb?
…and a furry by extension?

We’re all furries on this blessed day.
No. Weebs are people who are fans of Japanese culture in general, usually to an extreme; ignoring shortcomings of Japanese culture and politics in favor of a highly romanticized version of Japan. An anime fan might think Japan is cool, a weeb thinks Japan is some kind of magical fairyland where catgirls grow on trees.
It’s like tankies vs communists and socialists.

Is there an equivalent term for people super into US culture? (I know the term if it exists would be different in different countries so more of a broad question)
I was in Taiwan a few months ago and something that really stood out to me were some of the people who would hang at starbucks and McDonald there. Some of them were basically fully decked in what I’d describe as California cosplay complete with very western cosmetic surgeries
There sure is! I usually see them referred to as “ameriboos” or “westaboos” (both are plays on “weeaboo”, which is the full term that “weeb” is derived from).

I’m deeply fascinated by this I think I know what my next mini research binge is going to be about…

…it was a joke, an attempt at humor using an absurd reference.
I watch a series based on Feudal Japan

i am a weeb= i am a furry
I am a furry= i now have 25TB of giant wolf cock in my homework file
