READ I have nothing wrong with poeple who are otaku I have a problem with being thought to be summin' im not
MEANING OF THE WORD OTAKU! Otaku is extremely negative in meaning as it is used to refer to someone who stays at home all the time and doesn't have a life (no social life, no love life, etc)
Usually an otaku person has nothing better to do with their life so they pass the time by watching anime, playing videogames, surfing the internet (otaku is also used to refer to a nerd/hacker/programmer).
In the Western culture, people confuse otaku to be something positive like "Guru". If you think about it, it's not really good to be called a guru if it means you are a total loser who can't socialize with other people except through the Internet.
Other Japanese words which have been confused by Westerners also include but not limited to: Anime, Manga, etc
wha? whats staying home have to do with being an otaku? you can just love anime and be an otaku too, there are so many other things other than that though, otaku means an overall interest in all things anime,manga,videogames

Thats what its supposed to mean. All the other things are other people made up, Otaku generally doesn't mean
someone who stays at home all the time and doesn't have a life (no social life, no love life, etc)
no one should get offended to be called an otaku unless they're not, otaku doesn't mean anything bad in general, otakus range from "alright" to "holy crap you have 2000 anime figures O.O"
get over it, being an otaku is nothing wrong and many people in the west don't even know what otaku means, not even many anime fans know
I completely agree that if you watch anime you're not an otaku, I'm not disagreeing with the stamp, I'm just disagreeing with what people think an otaku is.
Here is a wiki page, there are specifics on what they call the geek otakus and computer hackers and stuff, there are a bunch of different kinds in japan.
o.o But what if the person is a huge anime fan, wants to stay home just because they feel like it and is shy. Also what if that person stays on the computer all the time, also because they use the computer for drawing, anime, inspiration and being social on the computer? Does that still make them an Otaku? I mean really, Otaku doesn't sound that negative.
