i think that society has turned the otaku into a sort of idol. especially in the manga/ anime society, the "otaku" has become a title, that is supposedly supposed to mean that you have more knowledge than everybody else who watches anime and manga. since young kids are finding out that it is socially acceptable in the anime/manga community to be otaku, they watch a few episodes of mainstream anime and then think they know everything about the series. they then go off to their friends and brag that they know everything about their anime of choice and, depending on their friends, are then elevated to the otaku of the group. idk, i kinda rambled that and my add pills wore off a while ago so if it doesnt make much sense sorry. but yeah. basically, the "otaku" title is something good at first glance. mamushi told me a while back why he doesnt like the word otaku. why dont you share that article with us again. it was really interesting.
