Today in art history class we learned about Victorian weeaboos.

That is, people in the Victorian era who were obsessed with Japan. It was called Japonisme. 

I had to try really hard to not die in class.

Weebs are a god damn tradition.

…That photo was inscribed thirteen years before The Mikado ever saw the stage. I was all set to blame Gilbert and Sullivan for this one, but no.

Weebs have a very long and rich history tyvm

the mikado made fun of british society but used japanese imagery specifically because of the weeaboo culture because if theyd used british society theyd have gotten way lower ratings
