/jp/ - Otaku Culture

I started a japanese-only twitter account a few years ago to fully embrace /jp/ content, and today after quickly paging through my follows, I've realized to my horror I've essentially turned into a normie: relatively aware of most otaku paths but thoroughly uninterested in them all outside of my shallow niche of RC drift and professional music.

Its even reflected in my habits. I no longer watch anime, the most I do is turn the tv on when I'm completely jobless. I don't attend conventions, no longer follow creative circles of pretty much any media, feel a sense of disgust when browsing most of /jp/, and don't get invested in the avenues I do end up trying out.

The only solace I have is that my brief return to english twitter/jp bluecheck land makes me feel even worse.

Has this happened to anyone else here? Is there a purgatory of otaku?
