You realize weebs are losers there too right?

They have plenty of non-anime related entertainment

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?

Sure. Not everyone in Western countries went to see Avengers movies. I wouldn’t suggest that the vast numbers of Westerners who did go are all losers just because they could have been listening to Delta Blues instead.

May I remind you of your original comment:

Good. Even one less person watching anime is a win for humanity

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