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.

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).
