/jp/ - Otaku Culture

It was some sort of realizing it at a random point type of thing. Seeing people talk about how strange some weeaboos are didn't bother me at first, but now I pity them because they just don't get it.

It greatly depends on what some people think an otaku is, of course they'll probably think differently but in this day in age, they'll probably call it brave just to not offend anyone.

I don't think Lain is that enjoyed by normalfags; most of them don't care/Only use it as a status symbol; either way, it's a good point.

I relate to this post, I have been learning Japanese but sometimes I feel like it's too much to learn something just to play a couple of games, I know it's going to be useful in the long run, but it's such a time waster.
