Is there such a thing as the concepts of a "good otaku" and "bad otaku"?

A bad otaku is someone who would deliberately hurt his waifu

and #3
the social otaku are elitists, people like me havnt seen every single gundam, played all toohoo etc etc
so i guess i get ignored a bit by my peers since they dont wana waste time on "newfags" to their hobbies
i like thrillers or futureistic anime, they dont sit well with normalfag otaku, and unlike most other genres, none of the boards on 4chan like to talk about them

also, im a bit of a weeaboo and can speak japanese.
and noone likes a weaboo

The slightest difference between otakus often leads to them hating each other.
For example: I know Japanese. While normal people either don't care about this or say that it's cool, otakus who don't know Japanese often hate me for it simply out of envy, and I started looking down on them as a response to that.

Or take as an example how Gaia fags abhorred 4channers (when the two weren't the same shit yet) and how the same thing was true vice-versa.

Or go and mention that Elfen Lied is your favorite show and watch all the hate you'll get for your taste.

I just thought there was a love and brotherhood among us. But then I find that I get ignored, ostracized, and plotted against by the people of the very culture I thought accepted me. So I guess I must be one of the "bad otaku", because other otaku don't like me.

Now, I'm also into trains. Train enthusiasts are known as "railfans" or "foamers" or "trainspotters". Those who build and maintain model railroads are called "model railroaders" or "modelers".

They shouldn't build a lifestyle around one interest. If "I vvatch anime" is how you identify yourself as a person you're a faggot. Old women who knit are not faggots, they don't have a secret club where members with similar interest in knitting refer to themselves and each other as "knitting otaku" or some other gay name. This is how trolls are able to throw around the word autistic so easily, and why most of /jp/ is offended when they do so.

Yes they do. Old people form little clubs around a particular activity or hobby and give themselves a stupid little name, it happens all the time. That's because it's just common human behavior.

There is no such thing as a "Good Otaku". We know that we're scum and at the bottom of the food chain. We know our place in the universe. Part of being an otaku is accepting this and continuing to live your life the way you want to while doing the things you love.

That's what it means to be an Otaku.

>>5770514

I noticed that otaku are, in the end, human too. They have their own rules of conformity. They have their standards. And if you don't conform and meet their standards, you're lower than the scum on their figures.

I guess I really gotta be a major fuckup to be hated by anime fans.

The scary part about NEETs is when a normalfag confronts them, the normalfag goes into a coma due to the confusion of a NEET's very existence. "They're 20+ years old, live with their parents, don't work, and do nothing but go on the Internet all day, and they are PROUD of it?"
