Why are there so many otaku haters?

[The_pantless_hero]

I like anime, I wear cat ears and bunny ears when I feel like it, I read manga, I like to speak Japanese, I say kawaii ne when I think something's cute, I say sugoi! when I think something's cool. I use honorrifcs when addresing my SO, I say sumimasen, gomen asai, onegai, itadakimasu and other phrases. I'm almost 30, and that makes me an otaku? Kami-sama.

My Japanese friend and I agree that people should not use those words in English, and should otherwise replace them with perfectly acceptable English words. We both feel that it is degrading to his Culture, just as the leprechaun and the green beer is degrading to my own. We also both agree that this whole 'put on animal ears' fad is simply ridiculous.

But how will you be a cat girl if you don't put on cat ears!


And yes, that does qualify you as an otaku Nanatsu. You can only be one of three things if you are wearing animal ears: drunk, a furry, or an otaku.

This behaviour, we both agree, is what makes America a retarded and crappy nation.

Huh? No. What makes America a retarded and crappy nation is that it's full of Americans.

I guess you are right, then, I suppose, this is a manifestation of American retardation.

I prefer the term "anime-fan".

"Otaku" is so negative. ):

Irony is great isn't it, it is almost as good as hypocrisy.

Eh I dunno, there's just something about seeing the person on the receiving end of the irony have it go completely over their head.

I tend to view anything connected to animé/manga negatively. I don't have anything against the art itself; it's the stupidity (like otaku) that follows it.

I thought /b/ was the cancer that was killing /b/. At least, it's been doing a very good job of it.
