オタク

The term otaku was born 20-odd years ago because young men who were not good at conversation spoke to others saying "Otaku wa ... " （literally meaning "Your house is... ," but also expresses a slightly distant way of saying "you."）.
「オタク」という言葉が誕生したのは20数年前で、話下手な若者がほかの人
に話すとき「オタクは…（言葉の意味は「あなたの家」だが、「あなた」
の少し距離を置いた言い方である）」をよく使うことからだといわれる。

Stickling for detail and fond of collecting, their characteristics are similar to the "mania" person （maniac）, but the word comes from the fact that they say the words, "Otaku wa..." （And how about you?...） when speaking to others.
詳細にこだわる、収集癖があるなど、その特性はマニアと似ているが、相手
を「おたくは…」と言うことからこう呼ばれる。

An otaku is an obsessive hobbyist and generally, the image of these people is one of socially dysfunctional individuals, gloomy, unkempt and possibly with a Lolita complex.
オタクは一つの趣味に極端に執着していて、一般的に社交下手な人間で、ネ
クラ、ださい外見、そしてたぶんロリコンというイメージである。

The appearance and behavior of otaku can sometimes give the impression to people that they are potential sex criminals.
オタクの外見と行動は、時として性犯罪者予備軍という印象さえ与える。

Otaku are also not popular among women.
オタクはやはり女性に好かれない。

So would you consider "I'm such a nerd!" hipsters to be "real" nerds? That's the difference here. Things that are normally seen as weird or lame are suddenly considered cool when someone who's attractive and socially normal claims to like it. It isn't actually about the hobby; it's about appearances.

It doesn't matter what you look like, it's the state of mind. It's just that good looking people don't usually end up with the correct state of mind because they don't have to deal with the same shit as ugly people, which is often times what leads to the personality traits associated with being an otaku. This doesn't mean that it's impossible for a good looking person to be an otaku, it's just not as common.

But yeah:
>stop the fighting guise i need a label to use for myself
>lol i'm such a nerd xDD
>Otacool
>geek chic
These kind of people don't count, because they're usually just faggots in it for the attention. These are the kind of people who look at "real" otaku, then turn to their equally nerd XD grrrl gamer girlfriend and say "Hahaha what a loser, that guy needs to get his priorities straight." So no, they are not "in this shit together" with the rest of us.

Unfortunately "otaku" is in vogue in Japan at the moment, of course not with actual otaku but posers. That's why anime is having so much government money poured into it.

then it went into a wider use and some normalfags managed to make it look cool.

This so much. Just as Densha Otoko started getting popular I remember there was a genuine sense of relief that otaku might be facing slightly better treatment in future.

But I don't think anyone expected what happened, it just blew out of control and suddenly everyone within spitting distance of a figure was an "otaku". That's when all the big chain operations started happening too, when merchandise got seriously more mass produced and often from the same companies. Then it hit anime and the rest is history. You have 30 shows every season trying to compete for the highest viewership so they can sell the most DVDs or merchandise that season and push profit margins etc.

It's real-life ironic shitposting.

I have a script to filter new trips and spend my days browsing /jp/ and reading high level niponese literature in multimedia format (VN for you uncultured swines).

I train with my report button every day, this superior asset will grant me the hability to get get you banned and bost my ego while I spam your thread with sages and "reported's" this weapon can get 9 of 10 shittposters banned and annoy the janitors until they are forced to act as my will dictates.

I speak Japanese fluently, both honorifics and refined vocabulary such as wakarimasen and "the pleasure of being cummed inside", also, I write emails to moot as well bitching about the state of MY board and how those newfags ruinedit. I know everything about flamming new people and indoctrinate them in the belief that if they flame others they'll become one of us.

When I get my autism money, I am moving out of the basement of my parents to spend the rest of my life (~10 years) in front of a computer insulting people to bost my ego and reinforcing the idea that /jp/ is a private club where cool people such as Zun!bar and me hang out. I hope I can beat any touhou game and stop being a secondary, meanwhile I mock people for not being able to finish lunatic PCB!

I own several tenga devices and onaholes, which I use around my room. I want to get used to using them before I get my genuine japanese waifu, so I can fit my 5 inch cock in her small pussy easier. I post using a name or trip from time to time but my beloved /jp/ers and seniors tell me to get the fuck out as fast as I can, but rarely I do it and pretend to be trolling.
