Apparently some otaku have taken to spelling it ヲタク now instead of オタク. Kind of like word reclamation, they are spelling it like that to specifically refer to their hobbies, rather than have it be a derogatory term used by others.

>>22953
Yes, whoever said 'wota' is for idol otaku only doesn't know shit.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wota

FAGGOTS, IT'S WOTA. NOT WOTAKU.

ヲタ

Pronounced "Ota".

>>23191
wota is short for wotaku

>>23191
WATTA

>>23228
WRONG, FAGGOT. It's "Wota". Nothing more, nothing less.

>>23167
Wikipedia/Japan Times article is only half right about that. The chopping off is unique to the group of idol chasers, but the ヲ came before them, as in >>22991.

>>23217
saved for future usage

Wota IS the shortened version of wotaku. It doesn't refer only to idol wota. Idol wota may call themselves just 'wota' but there are also manga wota, computer wota and anything else wota. The only reason why that wiki article and the news article claims that wota refers only to idol is because of all the fucking morning musume fans.

>>23382
furthermore, the idol wota are called wotagei

>>23382
Wota is only アイドル fans, period. Sorry faggot, You're just a regular Otaku. Fail more.

Look, I've seen people on different segments of 2ch calling themselves wota/ota, from trains to anime to idols. Here's an exerpt from the Japanese wiki article on otaku to further my point:
近年では「オタク｣という表現が一般化し、オタク＝岡田斗司夫みたいな人
と認識され、それらを嫌った「オタク」と呼ばれる人たちは「オタク｣と
いう語の使用をやめ、「ヲタ」「＊＊ヲタ」という語を使っている。 「車ヲタ」「アニヲタ」「ガンヲタ」「ジャニヲタ」「モーヲタ」「珍ヲタ
」「ゴスヲタ」「サカヲタ」「プヲタ」「馬ヲタ」「鉄ヲタ」「キモヲタ
」などがその例である。

You're an idiot, wotaku = otaku. People in Japan finds otaku derogatory so an alternative term was developed to shake the negative connotations.

Don't treat the English wikipedia like its a holy bible on Japanese culture.

Ota/Wota, same thing, just different way of writing it.

She has flea bites.

YAY shokotan!

Shokotan? More like ShokoMAN!

Why not just say geek

>>26722
NOTHING AT ALL
NOTHING AT ALL
NOTHING AT ALL

>>23403
Wow, this is the biggest fail I've seen on this board yet.

>>23399
Wow, another huge fail. Where the fuck do you guys get your information?

>>26995

Indeed.If it weren't for that, this thread would have been win. We've failed Shokotan....!

Shokotan: "I came up with "da o."

DON'T BE FOOLED, SHOKOTAN IS THE ENEMY OF VIPPERS.

>>27017

If that's so, then Vippers must be bad since Shokotan is a physical embodiment of Epic and Win. Hell, I wouldn't be surprised if she shits Falcon Punches.

>>26738

Why not just say Wota? Because in the end WHO GIVES A FUCK.

I'm looking for a tv-show where is shokotan ... but i'm looking for a downlable version wich better quailty than that awful youtubes rip... anybody know where i can find that kind of stuff?? If it's subtitled BETTER!

ITT: People who don't know shit babbling randomly thinking they actually know anything.
Wota started as a designation for Morning Musume fans (Saw a screenshot of Japanese TV where they specified that)
But with the time other otakus started taking the term so nowadays it's pretty much the same to say wota and otaku.

OM NOM NOM

>>28317
>She's Japanese

>>28183

>>27081

FALCON PUUUUNCH!

Her cosplay is real pro, she's got the 2d spirit.

<------ /cgl/ is that way

>>30940
If you look closer, you will notice that her belly button/boobies are also in comparison a bit lower then the rest.

She has just short legs and a too big body.

So who else has she voiced?

>>22275
Best gothic lolita cosplay ever.

>>31075
Suzuna in Eyeshield 21 and one of the new trainers in the Pokémon movie with Darkrai. That's all I can remember off the top of my head.
