Some people began co-opting it for self-image. Also thank the wonders of capitalism for watering down stuff to make it more accessible and acceptable to ordinary folk.

Let's have a serious discussion on this for a second, /jp/. I want to be a little bit meta, but I think this is actually very important regardless.

Many people defend their use of the word 'otaku' (Normally to describe themselves) against a number of people who criticize them and say the word is for more dedicated fans, not just anime fans or whatever.

The common retort to this 'truota' argument is that "Words change and therefore we just have to accept that otaku applies to less dedicated fans too".

What is your opinion of this?

Do you think the word "otaku" should be reserved only for the hardcore fans?

The term otaku was born 20-odd years ago because young men who were not good at conversation spoke to others saying "Otaku wa ... " (literally meaning "Your house is... ," but also expresses a slightly distant way of saying "you.").
「オタク」という言葉が誕生したのは20数年前で、話下手な若者がほかの人
に話すとき「オタクは…(言葉の意味は「あなたの家」だが、「あなた」
の少し距離を置いた言い方である)」をよく使うことからだといわれる。

Stickling for detail and fond of collecting, their characteristics are similar to the "mania" person (maniac), but the word comes from the fact that they say the words, "Otaku wa..." (And how about you?...) when speaking to others.
詳細にこだわる、収集癖があるなど、その特性はマニアと似ているが、相手
を「おたくは…」と言うことからこう呼ばれる。

An otaku is an obsessive hobbyist and generally, the image of these people is one of socially dysfunctional individuals, gloomy, unkempt and possibly with a Lolita complex.
オタクは一つの趣味に極端に執着していて、一般的に社交下手な人間で、ネ
クラ、ださい外見、そしてたぶんロリコンというイメージである。

The appearance and behavior of otaku can sometimes give the impression to people that they are potential sex criminals.
オタクの外見と行動は、時として性犯罪者予備軍という印象さえ与える。

Otaku are also not popular among women.
オタクはやはり女性に好かれない。
