/jp/ - Otaku Culture

[Anonymous No.]

Always when I say "otaku girls" aren't really interested in otaku culture, people say to me
>stop being threatened by girls. they are otaku too.

Why people always reply like that? Why would I feel threatened by girls? "Otaku girls" just suck. They just want attention. Otaku culture (tm) is only for guys. Only guys can enjoy it..

Women are not otaku, they are women, doesn't matter which group they join they always act of her basic instincts.

I have a nice face? I have to show it to them so I'm recognized.

I have a room in which I've spent thousands of dollars just to show how "OTAKU" I'm? Better show them, with a picture of myself in it ofc.

I have sex appeal? I better show them a picture of myself cosplaying

Is there any challengers around? I better backstab.

It's more the fact that being in the minority makes you something different. If you're white and you sing, you're a singer. If you're black and you sing, you're a "black singer".

"Women otaku", even those who genuinely enjoy anime, manga, eroge, etc. (and I do believe they exist), are just a separate category of people, tangentially related to, but not a subset of, ordinary otaku.

>>10601058
I don't want to believe this, but stalking a few female /jp/ers on Twitter and it seems to be true.

Whether it's a room full of Hello Kitty gear, a shelf full of philosophy textbooks, or being diagnosed with a mental illness... having it isn't the good part, it's showing everyone online you do.

[Anonymous No.]

Being otaku is about enjoying fiction and doing it "in peace", without attention, without care of what other people think.

Therefore women CANNOT be otaku. Their nature is total opposite of lifestyle of otaku. They just want attention at all costs.

What? The “real definition” of otaku is “about enjoying fiction and doing it "in peace", without attention, without care of what other people think.”?
No way in hell. Only the “without caring about others” can apply, the rest is your shitty definition.
Again, otaku are some of the most loathsome obsessive nerds that frequently inconvenience others. There is nothing inherently peaceful.

Isn't there a very distinct difference between a nerd and a geek?

A geek is someone who has a hobby like Star Trek or programming, the western equivalent of an otaku really. A nerd is someone who is just socially awkward and doesn't have a lot of friends but is very smart.

Actually, an otaku is someone who spends a lot of time and money on decorating their room with various merchandise along with collections of anime/eroge/manga that he watches/plays/read. True otaku are true consumerists, and their consumerism is what feeds the subculture.

[Anonymous No.]

Well, any girl who calls herself otaku in public is probably not an otaku, but the same would apply to guys as well, so it's a moot point.

You're just making assumptions based on a couple of attention-whory landwhales you've seen at conventions.

I could say it's your fault guys, but in the end is just karma.

Nature made a man-woman ratio of 1:1, if you guys stop giving attention to them the bitches find out there's not enough men to fix their fuck up existence and force themselves somewhere else.

Why do whores like milk post here? Because places like facebook are so crowded and full of competition that this looks like a heaven to them, if you go to the archive and search for her name yu see thousands of posts, do you know how much is it? She knows and for that refuses to leave.

>>10601207
Because this place isn't that hard to figure out.

The most unafraid Otaku, the one least concerned with what others think, are also the ones least concerned about being "normal" because they also don't really care what other Otaku think.

So, there you go. If you're deliberately trying to "fit in", whether it's with "normal society" or "/jp/ society", then you do care what others think and should probably stop that.

I agree, but not fundamentally. Some girls very rarely do have a genuine interest in Otaku related stuff, but they're normally fat and ugly, so wouldn't give a shit either way. Most girls however are just doing it to be different or appeal to the Otaku crowd to launch their blogging/model career, or just get attention.

[Anonymous No.]

>>10601240
But you should understand people who think they are otaku, aren't really otaku. Therefore they are trying to fit in.

In some ways, I suppose it is our fault. Letting people have their own opinion is one thing, but allowing them to shit all over the place is different.

But to decide that someone isn't "TruTaku" because they have a different obsession is just as wrong as the person who thinks the world is flat.

I am Otaku. You are Otaku.

I may not be the same as you, but we are Otaku. We can discuss those differences and embrace them or we can report each other for "not being pure Otaku" because we don't like the same "2hu". Ultimately the choice is ours.

'Otaku' isn't a hobby, it's a marketing concept that anti-social losers use to identify with something.

There's nothing wrong with reading VNs, playing Touhou, or collecting figurines. All hobbies are valid. But if you do most or all of those, become hikki/NEET, and turn your back on the rest of the world (3DPD, rejecting others as 'normalfag'), you're the sad product of marketing.

I agree that those who have obsessive behaviours will do things like become associated with a fandom, for example buying and mastering all the Touhou games. Again, it's called a hobby.

But the type of person that ONLY goes for things that fit to the criteria of '2D' or 'anime-ish' is compensating for something, he is not actually interested/obsessed with the hobby but is just trying to fit in here.

[Anonymous No.]

>>10601487
I'm not really sure what you are getting at but I would hazard to guess that a lot of people interested in things like VNs and Touhou are not exactly social butterflies to begin with for the most part. What I am getting at is a suggestion that perhaps people who end up liking these things are just already more likely to be a NEET or Hikki due to a lack of social skills leading them to discover such hobbies.

[Anonymous No.]

>>10601487

Obviously. But its a given if spend enough time with 2D interests, you'l eventually lose lots of friends or neglect society, and become used to 2D so much that you lose the attraction to 3D, or you were a recluse with these traits to begin with, and you Otaku interests. Normalfags just don't usually take part in these things, because they're too busy being alpha or camwhoring or whatever do. When they occasionally do slip in, they're attention whoring, or trying to force the culture to change to suit their needs, like going on about how women are represented in Otaku media.

Really, that's true of any interest. Anything you spend the majority of your time doing will change your social circles. Obviously, if you do not drink alcohol, then you're not going to talk to drunks on a social level. If you really enjoy VNs, then you will probably talk to others who share that common interest.

You don't really "lose" your social circle when you change hobbies, you merely shift the paradigm (as it were) to a new social circle.

[Anonymous No.]

>>10601517

I don't know, I don't class /jp/sies or /ota/fags as my "social circle". This is just the internet. I don't actually have IRL friends, so I don't have a social circle.

I hope that you aren't one of those faglords that go by with the global philosophy of "you need to get a girlfriend/wife and get kids to be content and happy with your life". It's just another form of entertainment after all, and isn't essential by no means.

[Anonymous No.]

>>10601525
I think it's a difference in the dynamic. Having an obsession/hobby for manga or VNs or Touhou doesn't really require an IRL circle of friends. The internet does just fine for that purpose. We are, believe it or not, socializing right now. :3

For some hobbies, however, such as sports or whatnot, require some amount of live social interaction. Like watching a sporting event on television with people or going to a sporting event.

This is where we should stop using the word 'socializing' and start using the word 'communication' due to the connotations of the two. If there was no intent that others would see the expression, then it wouldn't be communication from the sender's perspective, but it would be communication from the reciever's perspective.

Socialisation and expression can't be edgy? I think you're being pretty autistic, I think most people had in mind a jilted teenager whose parents praised his younger brother for completing his math test or something, and gets bullied at school, so at 8pm he runs out and bombs a wall and retreats into the darkness, thinking people will wonder who the mystery man is, when in reality they'll just say "fucking kids vandalising everything" and move on.

>>10601646

You can do it if you do enough mental gymnastics. Or you escape from reality, thus alleviating your need for interaction. But there;s plenty of examples of people doing it, what do you think people are doing when they take part in religion?

Originality doesn't exist. That's the problem. If people focused solely on being 100% original, then nothing would ever get created.

If you think of something that you want to do to express your creativity and you find out that someone else did it before, then do it anyway. Not because you're trying to be "edgy", but because you will bring to it the one thing that no other human being on the planet is capable of: your unique voice.

People have been writing on walls since the caveman days. There is nothing "edgy" about it.

[Notsu !!8vz3Gqxp00k No.]

I'm sure real otaku girls exist - but the problem is that we'll probably never know of their existence because most true otakus keep to themselves.

Every girl I know that is interested in Japanese culture is an attention-whore about it though.

I don't think it is just a girl's nature to be this way though - I'm sure most guys would flaunt their otaku side if it gave them positive attention from the opposite sex (just as a lot of guys do with /fit/ness, /fa/shion, guitar-playing, etc).

People seem to forget that - a lot of the girls probably do genuinely enjoy otaku culture despite being an attention-whore about it - most will never be true otakus though despite their interest because attention-whoring goes against the otaku lifestyle - true otakus are shut-ins and keep to themselves - they are perfectly content with just their waifus and hug pillows.

If you want my opinion, I think it's like this. There are "otaku girls", but they are big lesbians, or they are still straight but very very ugly and ashamed, that's what fujoshi are.

Sorry, but believing in God doesn't interrupt the logic of the world. If you have someone to point to and say "Well, it's because He did it like this", you can explain anything.

Believing that LN is real human interaction requires you to forget what real human interaction actually is, which takes some serious brainwashing.

Yes, but they are still happy with it. Whatever religion is correct, then sure, they're not doing it, but leaves a million other religions that are based around believing there's something omnipresent and benevolent that gives a shit about and will listen to your problems. Its the same principle with socialising through VNs and such. You convince yourself of some bullshit like "Who said socialisation can't be between 2D and 3D?" or something, or just ignore it completely and pretend you're part of the VN, and you'll be fine.

You're missing a key factor, which is your perception. Every event has a time, place, and countless other factors that contribute to its uniqueness. Whether or not these factors are relevant depends on their eventual outcome, and the whole assignment of 'relevance' is really subjective anyways. Someone could repeat the same things over and over, to different people, and it would always be original because the setting would be different, their voice and demeanor would be different, etc.

So I guess I ended up agreeing with >>10601586 that tagging "I exist" on a wall is original. I still don't agree with >>10601670 because he states that 'originality doesn't exist', which clearly stems from a life of sweeping generalizations.

My older female cousin used to be otaku. She wasn't even fujoshi, as she is a very attractive young woman and wouldn't advertise her hobbies. She's actually the reason I carry my obsession with me today. Anime VHS's used to be our strongest way to connect. I'll never forget my parents sitting me down in front of the TV with her when I was 7 (she was 12) to watch "cartoons" (Ranma 1/2). Needless to say, the racy Rumiko Takahashi pulled me out of sexual latency very quickly.

Then what's the real definition of otaku? Please tell me or is it just cool to hate on Wikipedia?

Let's go with Google's definition then:

OTAKU Plural of o·ta·ku
Noun

(in Japan) Young people who are highly skilled in or obsessed with computer technology to the detriment of their social skills.

More like "humans".
It's just that there's lots of losers (no matter their gender or anything) that have been hurt in the past and now mindlessly hate on an entire group. If anything you should just recognize that it's how most people are but of course it isn't everyone.

Just stop, you garbage.

Throwing around accusations and insults of being a "/q/fag" towards everyone who disagrees with you will not suddenly change anything.

You are trash. You have no idea what /jp/ is or does, and your steadfast insistence that reaction images and their ilk are allowed simply because this is an imageboard does you no favors.

Go back to /a/, /b/, or /v/ if you want to spam images to your filthy hearts content.

There are plenty of disgusting lonely girls who sit around their house all day too. It's not only men.

There's probably a bunch of them on /jp/ right now, they just don't reveal their gender because it will turn into a shitstorm and they know better. They just want to take it easy and be gender neutral online.

I don't even post on any of those, I post on the imageboard that was made specifically to get away from /q/-cancer like you. If you're still on 4chan and not another otaku imageboard, then you have no right to say anything. Pleae go back to gaia or r3ddit.

Is it really wanting to or pretty much enforced by gender attitudes? I mean one might call revealing your gender attention-whoring but does it not only garner attention because men make a big fuss about it in the first place?

I suggest that you read books "Beautiful Fighting Girl" and "Otaku: Japan's Database Animals".

Shortly otaku are (according Saito, author of first book):
- a person with strong affinity for fictional contexts
- a person who makes use of fictionalization as a way to "possess" the object of his love
- a person who inhabits not just two but multiple orientations
- a person capable of finding sexual objects in fiction itself

Does this not fall under obsessive? Also what about gun/military otaku,computer otaku,Wota etc? That's where that definition falls on its face.

Not everything otaku obsess over is fictional.

[Anonymous No.]

>>10601979
It's both. Men make a big fuss about it because compete over wanting to fuck women after women conjure up the attention of many men. Men know that women are attention whores, and women know men will give them attention, so they attention whore.

Revealing your gender when this kind of atmosphere is not accepted causes an even greater shitstorm, the men acting on their want to fuck instinct and the people cringing at that because they hate it going on here combined.

[Anonymous No.]

>>10602028
The point I was trying to make is you could argue that the fault for these kinds of shitstorms lays almost entirely at the foot of men. What do you for example do when someone is obviously trolling? You stop giving them attention eventually they get bored and stop posting. The same can be said of any woman attempting to attention-whore in such a way by exploiting their gender. If men were just to ignore those posters attempting to attention-whore then they would stop mentioning gender realising it achieves nothing and move onto more efficient means of gaining attention leaving only those that will do it under the correct circumstance where it is legitimately related to the conversation.

The problem at its root could be argued to be caused solely by the male reaction to a self-declared female poster. If nobody payed any attention to the mention of gender someone could say they were female as much as they liked and still only get regular amounts of attention.

If one wants to say men are biologically predisposed to compete over women then is it not their duty to control the urge rather than the woman's fault they have that urge.

If you personally ignore something, you can't guarantee that everyone else will. In fact, you might just be letting that kind of thing run rampant by letting it go unchecked. Yes, it would be ideal if absolutely everyone ignored posts where people revealed their genders for attention, but only a couple of people ignoring it could potentially be worse than nobody.

It's both the fault of the people who will give them attention and the people who seek the attention. The latter is the smaller group. And yes, the initial cause of all that is the men since otherwise women wouldn't bother attention seeking, but one group is harder to silence than the other, due to size.

>Does this not fall under obsessive?
Yes it falls but having exact obessive interest doesn't mean every person who has obsessive interest in something is otaku.

>Also what about gun/military otaku,computer otaku,Wota etc?
According Saito, if they see those guns, computers etc. as fiction. According Saito "otaku see reality as kind of fiction", but "they don't confuse reality and fiction". Good example is in Otaku no Video, when this military otaku thinks guns are great because they have power to stop much more powerful man with just a finger press, but still he doesn't want to hurt other (real) people, but he likes to play war with his otaku friends. He kind of admires power of weapon in sense of fiction.

>Not everything otaku obsess over is fictional.
It maybe look like that from surface. That's why you should read those books.
