Why "Otaku"?
Why do some anime fans call themselves otaku? It's a word with an extremely negative connotations. It'd literally be like Japanese people who like American TV calling themselves "losers". I personally love anime, but I don't let it control my life and I'd certainly never label myself like that. What's the rationale?

6 RepliesIt's sort of an adapted perjorative. It's like how American fans of something use the term "Nerd" or "Dork" in affiliation with it. IE Comic Book Nerd, etc.
