The 'Japanese Culture (I'm an Expert)' meme is a satirical take on Western fans—often referred to as 'weebs' or 'weeaboos'—who claim to have a profound understanding of Japanese society solely through watching anime. The meme typically highlights the gap between the complex reality of Japanese life and the stylized, often exaggerated tropes found in media like Naruto or One Piece. It gained traction across platforms like Reddit and Tumblr as a way to poke fun at the Dunning-Kruger effect within the anime community. Users often pair the text with images of characters looking confident or smug to emphasize the irony of claiming cultural mastery after learning just a few words like 'kawaii' or 'desu'.
