I've heard there's a growing epidemic in japan of people who live in 2x2 meter apartments and play video games 24/7 and never go outside. They had some specific name – not sure if its weeabo or something else

The most common way it is used in Japan is: Social degenerate / Loser.

Baka means damn it, stupid, fuck, shit.

Untranslatable baka, but is anger based.
Stop it Baka
It's not like I did it because I like you or anything, baka.
That wasn't part of our deal, baka!!!
Darth Vader: I have altered the deal pray I do not alter it further.

Opinions

My Definitions:
Weeb - childish fan of Japan culture.
Otaku - mature fan of Japan culture.

I never understood the obsession about japanese culture to begin with, especially with non-japanese people, I think it's a bit overrated.

Grass is greener syndrome maybe?

I was into Anime before it was cool.

The first Anime I saw was The Super Dimension Fortress Macross.
My dad had a vhs tape with two episodes on it when I was 6 years old.
