/jp/ - Otaku Culture

>what the og otaku were in the 70s-80s
You're on the right track, but IRL otaku events are hard to have outside of Japan
Japan is small but with a lot of people, so it's easy for some dudes to get on a train and go to whatever meetup
Such a thing is more difficult in the western world

I say we should retreat to less mainstream otaku fandoms
The classics that are not as well known or popular these days on social media
There are entire WORLDS of otaku content just waiting for us out there
Only consuming modern fandoms limits your otaku potential

/jp/ could be so much more than what it currently is...

Use alternative platforms.
There are a lot of sites dying because nobody uses them.
