Haha yeah, an otaku is someone who enjoys Japanese animation (anime) and comic books (manga) and collecting figures and items. It's okay for all these people to love Avengers and Justice League and other super heroes and read/collect comic books and figures, sexualizing Wonder Woman, Power Girl, and other female heroes, yet just because it's not American, it's immediately bad. Anime and manga have a huge economic influence in Japan despite how even most people in Japan would like to disagree. Heck, Big Hero 6 was originally Japanese, but now you see all these people loving it. Japanese animation and comics have a huge influence even in America. The movie that Tom Cruise starred in, "Edge of Tomorrow", that was an adaptation of a manga. So before people start hating on anime and manga, realize that you've actually been exposed and have probably loved something that was either a Japanese anime/manga, or was adapted from one. I love anime and manga, it has a special place in my heart because it has helped me through some very dark times. I just can't stand when people put down this hobby for others when they don't even understand how large of an impact that otaku lifestyle has in all parts of life.
