I leave the "otakus" to themselves. Especially the foreign versions.
It's not entirely my thing... but, at the same time, I don't blame them for being as ignorantly obssessive as most of them seem to be. It's not like the Japanese are particularly determined to clear up all the fanaticism that has developed, either. And in fact, they may be inclined to feed into it in some aspects.
... But, I digress. Whatever the case, I expect to find radicals in every society. Anime crazies aren't a big issue to me. And I'm almost absolutely certain a majority of Japanese natives think they're weird too.
Of course, I have my thing, and they have theirs.
In the end, my opinion only counts for so much. It's a shame sometimes... But I'm more comfortable minding my own business, as long as they do themselves.
