Has anyone here ever been called an Otaku?

[TheObserver]

Does anyone on the base take offense to the word Otaku? is it a bad word to call someone?

 

[kmrasengan]

i don't even know what the * is that.

 

[iHawk]

no but i would probably punch them in the face

 

[SilverSlick]

No because I'm not a dub hater who regards the Japanese language as a ****ing sacred gift from God.

 

[Blondephile]

i jst searched the word.

and no i would not be offended, but i would find it a compliment.

 

[3MESSIAH]

hmm what could it mean? it`s either gay,douchebag,retard,geek......idk

 

[Direcorpse]

I wouldn't take offense if someone called me that, I wouldn't really care if they did.
If it was a punk ass wanna be, then I'd probably kick his ass in front of his friends.

 

[KiraGirl K]

No because I'm not a dub hater who regards the Japanese language as a ****ing sacred gift from God.

Back to the question:
No, and if so I wouldnt care.

There is a nice anime series from 2004 or so called "Genshiken".
Its about a club of Otakus, very funny and interesting!

you don't become otaku just because you watch/read anime/manga LOL
