Because it's a derogatory term. It's just embarrassing when someone is talking to a Japanese person and introduce themselves as an otaku without really knowing the implications of that word.

I'm pretty sure even the Japanese people which the word describes embrace it happily. No one really should care what other people think of them unless their opinion would be what can affect their life in a greater sense, e.g., getting a job, keeping a job, losing one's home, etc. I don't care what people think of me if they're not doing anything for me. ^^

In my trolling days (not so long time ago btw) I would totally do the same. And it would be totally worth effort.

I looked at her channel and some of her videos. yes she's probably a troll. a good one.

Just answering the question.


Some people are actually proud of being a "slut"... Not many, sure, but still.

Otaku almost literally means the same thing as nerd. Nerd is also a derogatory term intended for no-lifes who sit around playing video games, or watching Star Trek/Star Wars/Star Whatevers. They're looked down upon by society as a whole, and yet there are people who are very proud to call themselves nerds, or geeks.

Being an otaku is literally no different. All us white folk just like to pretend it is so we can look down on other nerds/otaku.

While people do primarily use the word to refer to anime fans outside of Japan, that doesn't really change what the word actually means. You, and people like you, are the ones who are making up a definition.

If you'd read my post, I made a statement on the difference between the two forms of Otaku based on where they are used.
I'll repeat and clarify.
In the west Otaku is used as a bit of a synonym for nerd, mostly by anime fans. In japan however, it carries a different meaning. Similar, but different. In japan, an Otaku is seen as a disgrace. A useless being that has no contribution for their society. They are frowned upon and contemptible. The west's view on the use of word Otaku is just from anime influence, not the real deal.

Nerds are treated the same way in western countries. People blame video games and crap for violence in society, while "normal" people shun and even go out of their way to torment people who are nerds, sometimes driving them to suicide or to attack others, and THEN committing suicide after. There are people who are labeled as nerds in the states who are seen as nothing more than a disgusting burden to everyone else.

There really isn't a difference.
