/jp/ - Otaku Culture

Are you people even AWARE of how bad of a term the word Otaku is?? Shiny Turtles Sun, Oct 16, 2011 23:27:27 No.8004018 [Reply] [Original]

Just wondering. I'm not saying that this is true of everyone on the board. But it's pretty sad. In Japan, the term Otaku is very very similar to how we make fun of men in their 40s or 50s who still live with their mother, in their basement, playing video games all day because they have no job, no life, and no girlfriend. And by the by, there is so much more to Japan than anime and manga. :/ I find it sad that we're going to stoop to that level. Lamesauce.

It's funny because people on this board love to pretend that they still live with their mother, in their basement, playing video games all day because they have no job, no life, and no girlfriend.

But we are men in their 40s or 50s who still live with their mother, in their basement, playing video games all day because they have no job, no life, and no girlfriend. So it is fitting.

Besides, it's not like the board cares all that much about what moot named it.

I was reading one of my old Super Play magazines earlier and they mentioned that Anime was a medium enjoyed by people of all ages and no one looked down on anybody for watching it (this was from the early nineties). Did things change over the last twenty years?

Why is it always bald, 40 or 50, living in their mother's basement and so on?

I know you didn't say bald this time, but you usually specify them. It's not really their fault if they're bald. And 40 or 50? How many people play video games in the mother's basement at 40 or 50, I mean, really. Really. There aren't many who actually match that stereotype. You'd have to search pretty hard to find one. Why their mother's basement? Why not their father's basement? What if they don't have a basement? What about an apartment? Is their mother/father really going to be able to take care of them? They must be getting on in the years themselves, if anything they'd need to be cared for by the 40 or 50 year old.
