stupid fuck

no, that's what it kinda means in Japan - stupid lazy bastage nerd that sits on his ass all day and obsesses over anime.

In the west, many have adopted it as a name for anime fans in a general, non-abusive sense.

Otaku (oh-TAH-kuu)
n. - From the Japanese, literally meaning "house". In Japan, the term refers to someone with a heavy, and sometimes near-religious interest in something. In the Japanese culture it also carries a derogatory meaning, in the context of being someone with no real social or personal life outside of the object of their obsession (much like the term "fanboy" or "nerd" in Western culture). However, outside of Japan, the term may or may not carry a derogatory meaning depending on the person being referred to. Many anime fans in Western cultures proudly (and sometimes mistakenly) call themselves otaku, preferring to use the term to describe themselves as a "hard core", or knowledgeable, anime fan.
ex. - That Mama Ass is definitely an otaku.

So go get laid! Go meet people! Go to parties, and DON'T be a wallflower! Fuck bitches! Drink forties! Smoke blunts and talk about big screens! And get a life outside of anime! I do! I get some almost every day! I believe in maximizing my potential, not thinking whether or not so and so anime chick is hot... after all, they're NOT REAL. they are INK. you cannot have a relationship with a predesignated character that is entirely fictitional! Meet a girl! They're loads more fun that a cartoon!

oops... I sed cartoon. As the alien said in South Park... "Moo Moo"

Nestorath69, I fail to see how doing any of that will change the definition of the word "Otaku."

The moral of the story is this: There's more to life than anime.

Otaku (oh-TAH-kuu)
- updated: Someone who play's hide-and-seek by surrounding the tree that
they are hiding behind - in general, the American Woman!

Amerian Woman: A portable moving tank that has no plated armour but conciders
herself to be worthy, "I'm Worth It" yet finds herself alone each night wondering
why she can only dream of what others live in life; not realizing that only she
can correct the damage that she has done to herself!

20 years ago, it meant everything within your house including the house itself;
but today that meaning has changed for the worse - times change, get used
to it; people don't change!
