You truly have never been to /a/. The term "3D Pig Disgusting" isn't just a joke.
No, just being into anime a lot makes you an....an anime fan. Not an Otaku. The word's practically a slur in Japanese and there's a reason why. |

What you can see proof of by strolling over to /a/ is the particular /a/ subculture. And of course, the fact that there are Japanese otaku that are douchebags to fujoshi is no excuse for anybody else doing the same. |

Not every passionate fan goes to 4-chan. I'd in fact argue most don't. The culture for /a/ only speaks for /a/. |

But /a/ is where true Otaku reside. They're practically western versions of Japanese Otaku. |

Categorical thinking about sub-groups of people along with invented purity tests don't really have a lot of value, to be honest. Also, note females can be otaku too! Your definition excludes them. Last edited by Draneor on Mon Mar 11, 2013 6:54 pm; edited 1 time in total |

I watch 10+ shows of anime every season and have spent way too much money on JP BDs, figures, manga, LNs, artbooks and even a few dakimakura. I *AM* the Western version of an otaku. So, either I am not actually an otaku because I don't go to /a/, or I am a hateful misogynist because I spend a lot of money on anime stuff.

Thats pretty hilarious. I'm quite sure I was actively posting on /a/ long before you even knew of 4chan. (granted /a/ is terrible, but seriously stop bringing it up as the ultimate defense of your terrible opinions) |

Your link does not even support your supposition. It states that most weight loss is due to lower caloric intake. Adding exercise when one didn't do it before is also going to build muscle mass. P.S. it's scientifically known that both alcohol and sugar lead to lipogenesis. |

Gee Zac, is that your major takeaway from this conversation? Seriously? |

No, but someone having terrible opinions isn't bannable. I'm only here to keep the peace at this point. But you did unironically brag about being on 4chan before someone else, which I found hilarious. |

Only because he keeps bringing it up as some sort of justification of his offensive opinions. Also, seriously, thats not a moddable offense? For real? People can get their posts deleted for having one too many layers in the quotes, but him calling all Otaku violent and misogynist (not to mention his comments in the Qwaser thread accusing everyone who liked the show of having severe sexual psychosis) aren't even worthy of comment? For real? You really need to examine your moderation staff's priorities. |

It's not just anime it is someone who is very obsessive about any topic, which may or not make them socially crippled. |

Well, right, that's its usage in Japan anyway. But when discussing it on an anime forum or otherwise amongst anime fans, if its not modified with something, its understood to be an anime otaku. |

@Fencedude5609:
If you've got a complaint then make a thread in the Feedback sub-forum. ---------- As for Chagen46, I think most of the time it's just funnier to let him be and watch him dig his own hole. When I read that he thinks /a/ is the sole bastion of Western Otaku I just chuckled and then moved on. |
