I'm one of few people here who has very little interest in Japan, lol. A holiday somewhere would be nice though!
 
What is it that you guys all find appealing about Japan? I get that it's apparently a great place and all, but why there specifically?
 
All the anime stuff I love is there. :(((
 
Well otaku's are not exactly that which weeaboos think they are. You are an anti-social person who barely comes by because he spends all his money on manga/anime (merchandise) and doesn't really come outside except if it's for getting more anime stuff?? Before you say yes, watch Otaku no Video and you'll know what I mean when I say that's most likely not you.
 
Otaku doesn't even imply anime necessarily, right? I remember hearing that somewhere.
 
I didn't hear that but I wouldn't be surprised if it was right. It's games too and just everything, it's just unhealthy obsession basically, and it was popularized by Japanese culture and you know because it's Japanese it must be cool so, now every weeaboo out there claims they are an otaku cause obviously that's very cool when you're border hikikomori loser.

the daily japan chit chat oh my god

Actually in japanese otaku doesn't mean a bad thing, it's student or fan or something like this
EIther way, when I referred to myself as otaku I meant the japanese way

How are you so sure? It's a connotation, not a denotation.

Unpleasant stereotypes about otaku prevail in worldwide fan communities, and some anime fans express concern about the effect these more extreme fans can have on the reputation of their hobby (not unlike sentiments in the comic book and science fiction fandoms).

Tbh I think like...otaku has the same connotation in Japan that weeaboo has here. Well not identical meanings but similar negative implications.
 
The thing is that an otaku (that means a Japanese person) will not call himself an otaku, usually. Most like how Japanese people don't call themselves namehere-chan. Non-Japanese people are the only ones who call themselves otakus and so they are weeaboos already lol.

what toujours said there. an otaku is not considered a positive thing so a japanese person simply wouldn't call themselves that.
 
Yes or their mood lol. I'm sure you've seen people go "anno.....konnichiwa desu watashi wa live_wire-chan yoroshiku onegai shimasu desu!!!", or something along the lines. No Japanese person types in Romaji either. Really like thinking about it, everything that weeaboos do is exactly /not/ what Japanese people would do, ironically enough. (calling themselves otakus, adding honorifics to their own names, typing in romaji, pronouncing the 'u' in 'desu') its just sad lol
