A weeb or Weeaboo is a derisive term for someone who isn't Japanese but is 'obsessed' with Japanese culture. If you are a self-proclaimed weeb or just enjoy talking about anime on Twitch, you'll need to be familiar with the emote VoHiYo, intended initially as a way for people to say hello.<\/p>\n
Over time, with the trend of disliking weebs or weeaboos, the meaning of VoHiYo has changed drastically.<\/p>\n
To properly use this term, it's essential to understand its new meaning as the times have changed. This post unpacks the meaning and origin of this expression.<\/p>\n
The VoHiYo Twitch emote is also known by viewers as the \"Weeb\" or Weeaboo emote. If someone likes something related to Japanese culture, is not Japanese, and likes it to a borderline obsessive degree, they will be susceptible to being termed a Weeb on the Internet. <\/strong><\/p>\n It has, in fact, become increasingly popular to bully people in this way online. It is often used to refer to someone as a weeb or vaguely reference anime. VoHiYo was initially intended as a greeting to say \"Hello\" or at the end of a long, technical explanation.<\/p>\n The VoHiYo emote depicts a brown-haired anime\/manga girl in a purple shirt with a monkey wrench on her back. She is waving with her right hand.<\/p>\n It is an original Twitch.tv emote, and one of the first emotes on the channel. Its meaning transformed from a simple greeting when entering a chat into demeaning this particular group of people due to the increasing hostility that Weeb culture faces on the Internet.<\/p>\n
