It's more likely that the 95% are actually weebs themselves.

To answer OP's question, the game itself was based off a Nintendo DS game, so osu! started off with players who were already interested in Japanese games and culture. It's easy to see how this could have immediately evolved into an anime fanbase from that point.

Exactly that, anyone is capable of obsession. Obsession is basically what fuels game like ARPGs (by design), League of Legends, Soccer, etc...

And to be fair, osu is a great game, but it pretty much started as a weeb game and the echo chamber only grew with time. I wish it were more diverse, but it is what it is. Downloaded the latest 50 packs and could stand only like... 2 songs, so yeah.

If you play osu!, have an anime pfp and watch anime, you're a weeb. No way around it.

Yeah thats what weeb is. The people who are like more into that stuff and addicted are otakus

I don't particularly agree with that, a weeb generally means someone who is (unhealthily) obsessed with japanese culture. It was originally used as an insult to people who behaved unusually due to their obsession with japanese stuff (often anime).

From my understanding otaku is a more broad thing and refers to people who are especially interested in certain topics, commonly anime. But you can technically be an otaku for various topics... However nowadays it's often safe to assume if it's used in a western setting that it's someone who is particularly interested in anime.

If you were to be literal, then a weeb should be like... noticeably into anime/japanese stuff based on their behavior. If you're not particularly obsessed with anime or similar stuff, I wouldn't really classify you as a weeb by the technical definition. I wouldn't question using it in a less serious/joking fashion, though.

So does only watching anime counts as being a weeb?
I only talk about anime with a few friends irl and it's not a topic that we discuss a lot
+ I'm not really obsessed with japanese culture at all

I wouldn't say a weeb, maybe otaku... not sure.

As roufou said,
Weeb= obsessed with Japanese culture
Otaku= fan of anime, manga, gaming
Either way I feel as if people will use the term "weeb" even if you watched one anime.
That's just my opinion I may be wrong idk lol
