Has otaku now become a catchall term for nerds into anime when used in the west?

Japan hates otaku. We're just copying them.

It's used in a derogatory fashion in Japan. A lot of wapanese idiots in the west use it to refer to themselves thinking it's cool.

After being in Japan and coming back here to hear people use the term Otaku for themselves. Yeah, it's fucking disgusting.

We don't hate Japan, dumbfuck. At worst we're apathetic to it. We just say that so idiots don't come here and spam "OMG I LUV NIPON" threads.

And the hate in this thread isn't for people who are interested in Japan, it's for morons who use the term "otaku" to refer to themselves, while the term is actually used as an insult in Japan.
