Honestly, the fact that the mods apparently count 'weeaboo' as an offensive term is one of the dumbest things on this site.
Debate. The Mods have warned people because they said weeaboo once. Should this word be banned from NS? Is Weeaboo a hate speech or not? We will never know, but discuss now please.
