An Otaku is someone who spends alot of time and maybe even money to watch animes.

Otaku (おたく/オタク?) is a Japanese term for people with obsessive interests, commonly the anime and manga fandom.

What you meant is a Hikkikomori

Hikikomori (ひきこもり or 引き籠もり Hikikomori?, literally "pulling inward, being confined", i.e., "acute social withdrawal") is a Japanese term to refer to the phenomenon of reclusive adolescents or adults who withdraw from social life, often seeking extreme degrees of isolation and confinement.


So If you ask me. Being an Otaku is nothing bad lol

Being a programmer isn't negative. That's because

programming can end up creating cool things. For example, some programmers or maybe just one had a hand in creating this site.

Here's a thing about losers, they kinda think what they are doing is so COOL, while in reality it's so NOT the case.!!

ForInstance, like discussing Manga/Anime in forums.!!

It's a perjorative, like hentai.

Edit: People still have the right to define themselves however they want.

My understanding is that the term is similar to being called a "nerd" or a "social misfit". Nothing too serious. Besides, people are free to call themselves whatever they want.

Yeah I am an Otaku. But I don't find it offensive lol you are making up something ridulous. It's nowhere near offending me. Because it's nowhere near what you described.

Cause it's Japanese and people who don't know about it just want to self label it. Translate roughly into "no life losers".
