How weaboo do you like your games?
I think you really can't have a great game without at least 10% weaboo, Hell, Tolkien's novels were at least 20%.

I'm not having fun if it's not at least 50% weeaboo.
>Tolkien's novels had weeaboo influences
Explain. Do you mean that elements now associated with weeb players/games were present in his works? Because you must be having a laugh if you're looking at the reams of Japanese media which was inspired or influenced by LotR and think that this makes LotR retroactively weebish.
>because of Japan, feats from classical mythology are now "weeaboo"
Only nuking them twice was too lenient.
Maybe he is talking about the more "high flying" stuff from the stories that take place before LOTR and The Hobbit?
In which case he is not saying that Tolkien took inspiration from Gurren Lagan but that, to the modern reader, it would seem to be at that same "holy shit!" level.
Maybe.
I think he's just shitposting and trying to trigger Tolkien fans.
>Gurren Lagann in my Tolkien.
Please explain further.
Tolkien was a huge fan of shows like Evangelion and Record of Lodoss War, and he couldn't resist inserting a waifu for his mary sue Aragorn.
Also, Bilbo was so tsun-tsun for the dwarves that it almost made his later dere-dere unbelievable.
I remember summarising The War of Wrath for a colleague who hasn't read The Silmarillion. He started laughing and asked which anime I had been watching.
I suppose I can see that, but I stand by my point that it's a bit silly to declare it retroactively weebish. The Silmarillion was, as an earlier user alluded to, primarily inspired by classical mythology with a generous helping of the Bible, and comparing that to animanga simply because of scale or whatever you want to call it is a tenuous link at best.
Plus, by that logic, a lot of Marvel/DC comics, especially Golden Age Superman, are more weeb than a large portion of actual weeb media.
