Weaboo Protest March Descends on VHL Headquarters after Team Asia Doesn't Go Undefeated at World Juniors

[Gustav 6,469]

SUNDAY--The round robin portion of the World Junior Championships has concluded, and Team Asia, the team that everyone thought was totally screwed heading into the tournament, absolutely was, as their record of one win and...well, whatever, has actually exceeded some people's expectations. While Asia ended up looking like the VHLM's Philadelphia Reapers in a few games, they actually looked fairly worthy in a few others, taking Team Canada to a shootout and even dominating Team Europe defensively in a 2-1 win. The team's general manager (ok, fine, it's me) has gotten some positive acknowledgement (ok, fine, maybe one of my teammates once congratulated me on the win) for these performances, with the (entirely nonexistent as of yet) management skills of the team being (not really) attributed to its relative success. And while this is, to most people, exactly what was expected or maybe a little bit more, the results were not quite good enough for the league's more...interesting...followers. 

 

Early this morning, a mob of approximately 200 self-proclaimed weaboos marched (or Naruto ran) on VHL headquarters, with signs bearing slogans like "STHS IS RACIST" and "THE POWER OF GOD AND ANIME IS MIGHTIER THAN TPE--ABOLISH THE LEAGUE'S UNFAIR OFFICIATING".

 

While it is unclear what exactly was being protested, according to a few of the more diplomatic of the crowd (read: neckbeards carrying thesauruses), "something was amiss" just as soon as Asia lost, even once, as their "superior culture" should have easily been enough to propel them to a clean sweep of the tournament. The protest even turned violent, with some witness accounts documenting league commissioner Beketov taking a body pillow upside the head and several individuals being detained after (unsuccessfully) attempting the ancient art of firebending. 

 

Players and management from Team Asia, as well as VHL representatives, declined to provide any further commentary on the matter.
