I don't mind otaku at all. I think of them as enthusiasts, much the same way other people are mad about cars or stamp collecting. They're not hurting anyone.

lol since this thread I guess, I haven't heard it used before. I just needed a term to describe the people that don't like otaku.

Their is nothing wrong with Otaku unless they get carried away and think that the only thing to japan is Anime/Jpop.

The only thing that bothers me about them is when they say "I'm 14 and moving to Japan and giving up my citizenship to be a (insert ninja, manga artist, or some other fantasy job here)". I'm sure most grow out of this, but maybe some don't.

Well me and and my best friend are otaku's but we don't like Japan just because the whole anime/manga thing. I think you shouldn't put otaku's in one group. not all of us are the freaky obsessed "I'm 14 and moving to Japan and giving up my citizenship to be a (insert ninja, manga artist, or some other fantasy job here)".kinda one .. Savvy??
you shouldn't bash ppl because they are an otaku.. That's the same thing if you'd be like .. oh no she's a goth or emo or something..
If the people's personality just annoys you that's a whole other thing.. that's a valid reason for not liking someone. Not liking someone for what 'labell' they were is just wrong!

Why bother labelling yourselves in the first case? That's what baffles me.

The word, otaku also has additional meaning: an anti-social person.

Sasahara 06-16-2009 09:13 AM
Otaku are not antisocial they just are Individuals and do not conform

I seriously doubt many people are that ignorant.

Anything that encourages the exploration of a foreign culture cannot be bad. The alternate is they have nothing that introduces them, and never learn of the outside world.
