Stop Calling Yourselves Otakus
Otaku is a Japanese term meaning "geek" or "nerd." It's generally viewed as insulting. You don't really want to be called one. It's not specific to anime or manga, it can refer to someone obsessed with anything. It's not just someone who likes anime. This term should not be confused with Hikkikomori or NEET, which refer to someone who shuts themselves off from society.
In the West, anime fans are often called Weeaboos. Weeaboos are essentially Japanophiles, obsessed with anime, manga, and Japanese culture. These Weeaboos find this term offensive, instead adopting the Japanese term Otaku for themselves. By calling themselves this, they make themselves even more of a Weeaboo, using a Japanese term to refer to identify themselves.
It's pointless arguing about this. Let's face it, we're all filthy Weeaboos. Embrace the term, don't reject it. If you don't want to call yourself a Weeaboo, don't call yourself an Otaku either. Simply refer to yourself as an "anime fan" or similar term. Otaku is incredibly cringey.

2 AntwortenI honestly hate people who think they're cool just becuase they use some Japanese words when they speak or talk like they're Japanese when they aren't. If you are legitimately Japanese, that's cool but if you are American and call yourself otaku, I find it dumb. Just call yourself an anime fan. And also don't go using words like senpai cause you just sound stupid. Especially if you misunderstand it. For example, one of my friends kept calling the person they like senpai, but they where the same age.
