/jp/ - Otaku Culture

There's a reason we used to call ourselves otaku, instead of weeaboo.

Most of Japan sucks. Most of all countries suck, for that matter, but there are plenty of ways in which Japan sucks worse. (Salaryman culture, for one.) Sure, there are cultural elements we like, either because animu has given us an appreciation for them or because they're just plain cool, but that doesn't mean we need to love the country.

We called ourselves otaku because we didn't want to be regular Japanese, but because we love Japan's anime, manga, and otaku subculture.

Tl;dr less WWII/xenophobia moar Comiket and akihabara.
