So as of right now

what the eff?

Otaku: (n) Otaku is the honorific word of Taku (home).

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".

Other Japanese words which have been confused by Westerners also include but not limited to: Anime, Manga, etc


YOU JUST GOT LEARNED.

Yeah pretty much, except I am also a hikikomori on top of being an otaku, I never leave home unless forced to by school, or in the event of this week a con, however I've haven't left my house in 2 weeks for any reason other than to get food or to pay bills
