...and as far as the rant, my point of view is: being an anime fan is one thing, but being an otaku is another entirely. Becoming otaku means joining a community with its own beliefs, its own behavior patterns, its own life goals and its own dress codes. Not anyone can be otaku, and in fact, there is nothing particularly *good* about being an otaku. It's a way of resistance, a counterculture, and simply liking anime is not enough.
Sorry guy, you didn't register your trademark fast enough. Otaku is generic now and anybody who really likes anime can use it.
