Good point!
This thread seemed to be heading toward I really like anime/manga so im an otaku and no-one around me understands me.
Otaku is just a word and can be easily replaces with others.
Geek
Trekkie
trekker
Train spotter
stamp collecter
annorak
Infact anyone anywere that has a hobby they enjoy.
I would argue you could include those that follow team sports (whatever they may be), films, music and any other subject you can think of.
An otaku is somone who obsesses over something (dosent neccerseraley have to be manga/anime or even japenese)
dont pigeon hole yourselves.
