here's the full rundown:
>moot checks the stats on /b/ for most used words
>sees the word "wapanese" is the most used, by far
>"wapanese" was a play on the word "wigga" (white man trying to act like a nigga), so essentially, it meant white man trying to act japanese
>that comic (pictured) was popular on /b/ at the time
>moot wordfiltered the word "wapanese" to "weeaboo"
>this meant that if you typed the word wapanese in a post, it would come out as weeaboo
>suddenly, the most used word on /b/ was no longer wapanese, but weeaboo
>the word spread across the internet so much that it became a proper word, used by 4chan users and normalfags alike, for decades
