How do YOU feel about the word "Otaku"? - Devixx - Dec 26, 2015

On multiple occasions people have told me that not everyone likes the word Otaku, or find it kind of offensive apparently?

So I want to ask everyone how they feel about the word for some of my own reasons, I personally don't really mind the word.

How about you?

I personally don't care about the word Otaku.
Because I am not one of you.

In which case you don't matter here, and this question doesnt pertain to you lol. Stop post counting you insect.

i dont mind being called a weeb / otaku / trash on the interwebz. its all virtual anyway

I don't care. I'm called a weaboo over Otaku and even if it were that way, I couldn't care less. I'd probably just agree and be done with it.

"every other otaku can run on about their hobby endlessly"

Doesn't this just read in less words
A youth interested in computers but we use the word obsessed because we are adults and think technology is stupid - this discourages their abilities to have a normal social life.

Otaku sounds better than weeaboo. I'd rather be called an otaku.

Well i just watch Anime/Manga in my free time. It is not the only thing i do in my life. So i don't really care about the word.

Most insulting word that can ever come out of ones mouth.

Shutup you weeaboo.

All weaboos and otakus should die tbh senpai

I feel like it's a pretty accurate description of me but I don't think it has a place in Euro-American countries because of how vastly different the cultures are and what it means to be a no-life nerd in the different regions.

Makes me cringe and think of you weeb fucks.
