You realize weebs are losers there too right?

For one, they’re not weebs they’re just anime otaku, but also that is only a subset of anime and it’s mostly just a judgemental stereotype. They have ads on the subway for birthday events for popular anime characters ffs. Many pachinko machines are anime themed, including after late night anime which are the negatively stereotyped ones. You know who doesn’t have enough money to be a profitable target for gambling establishments? People with no job living in a basement.

And that’s all while ignoring that pretty much no one chooses that life style voluntarily and I see no reason to make fun of these people.

Strange, because Wikipedia tells me that the highest-grossing Japanese film in Japan of all time was an anime, as were the next five and most of the others on the list:

That’s a whole lot of losers for one small country.

Of course, that’s just the highest-grossing Japanese film in Japan. The highest grossing film made anywhere in Japan is… the exact same anime, followed by another anime.

In Japan not everyone that watches anime is a weeb

Or are you disputing that they have other forms of entertainment?

To be a loser, you must first lose something. Like your sense of wonder and virginity.
