Of course put a label or stereotype someone just because he/she does something like read manga or watch anime is utterly ludicrous.

That clan was just a joke clan, just made cause JF was filled with different anime clans. A parody you could say.

I dislike groups and labels. You see, the difference between a club, and a label, is that in a club/group, your personality isn't already judged upon.

Let me elaborate. If you join a golf club, you're not given any traits. Yet, if you cont yourself as, for example, an otaku, you're instantly seen as a freak and anti-social. Which is why it baffles me, when people call themselves a label, as if they're trying to prove something.

I listen to JRock, and basically only JRock/JPop. And I read manga and watch anime a lot, and I'm in love with Japanese culture. But never once, have I called myself an otaku, or anything else. I'm a normal human being, who has an interest in Japan.

To round off, what I'm trying to get to here, is that some people use these labels to try and get a point across, when they should realise no one gives a toss about what label they are. Not in the real world.
