If a girl/boy is an Otaku, will they be able to get a gf/bf ?

It depends on how you look and how you dress.
Pretty superficial right? But that's the truth. Everyone is willing to ignore a few annoying personality quirks (such a being an otaku) as long as you're good-looking enough.

But if you're referring to the generic image of an otaku - full of pimples, fat, unkempt slimy hair, bad breath and large glasses...then...no. Nobody would look at someone like that especially if they also found out about him masturbating to cartoon girls lol

I appreciate my brain cells too much to go near Filthy Frank videos.

Depends on how you define "otaku," I guess. I think the actual definition of an otaku isn't too far off from "weeaboo," but in the USA it tends to just mean someone who enjoys anime.

Neither is an accurate definition of otaku really. The closest English word is likely "nerd" or "geek". While often associated with, it's not limited to an (obsessive) interest in manga/anime, but can be applied to an obsessive interest to just anything (including things that many not usually actually be considered "nerdy").

Ah, good point. Now that you mention it, I have seen the word applied to other areas of interest outside of anime/manga.

Back when I first got into anime, before the internet was full of ironic, Filthy-Frank worshipping idiots 'otaku' was simply 'anime fan', like 'gamer' meant 'video game fan'.

Yes, that's also how it was for me when I first watched anime.

I don't get why not keep using it. It's a nice categorizing word, more comfortable than saying 'anime fan' or 'anime watcher'.

I would advise you look up the origin of the word "Otaku" and realize that in it's origin country it is derogatory, not a term used for people that just watch anime and not equivalent to gamer. Please learn the meaning of words before you use them, you seem to have a lot of problems doing that.

OT: I don't see why not

So? Are we slave to the origins of words? Last time I heard anyone use 'gay' meaning 'happy' was that title of Nietzsche's book.

Okay, so go around calling yourself "ghetto" because you listen to shitty hiphop/rap music. Your willful ignorance is astounding. There is a very clear difference between a word having a definition and that definition changing and you making up your own definition or distorting the already existing one. Anyway, as I said, please learn the definitions of words, as an avid reader of your shitty reviews I have had many laughs at your horrible use of grammar and vocabulary.

How do words change, then? Do they just change, or do people decide to use them differently?

I'm not a fan of FilthyFrank, either. I don't think his videos have ever made me do more than snort. I watch them from time to time to fit into the "dank meme" scene, though.

Occasionally, something good comes out of the 'dank meme' scene, but I find it too invested in irony to be actually funny. Sometimes looking at it just feels like a bunch of people trying really hard to look tough.

There is nothing irrational about that. Life is not worth living, in and of itself. Life is not precious. If anything, it's more irrational to live.

You are the most irrational user I've met on these forums.

And? I mean, okay, you said something about me. Now back it up.

It's self-evident from the point of view of healthy people. That is all I am able to tell you; that and you should reflect on the points you've made before and the comments people have gave you in return.

Try to form a reasonable conclusion.

Yes. Hot girls are starting to like anime. They can just get with an Otaku or whatever from the opposite sex.

lots of hot girls like anime.

They get snatched up crazy quick tho, they're the kind of girls who probably already have a boyfriend. Either that or don't like to hang out with dudes lol.

I CELEBRATE myself,
And what I assume you shall assume,
For every atom belonging to me as good belongs to you.

Snuggly and Thrash rely on vitriol for their arguments. They hardly say anything.

You also don't say anything here besides talking about the 'mentally healthy' without even bothering to define it. I don't know. Maybe I spent too much time in philosophy classes (But it's only one semester!) but I could never get away with such statements with zero explanation.

I agree. I usually use it except when I'm posting in a place where I know others will ridicule me for it, like a Filthy Frank video, lmao
