Being "Otaku" and "Pirate Otaku"

"Otaku" is a kind of people and refers to the special likes of them. The term comes from Japan and is used to a different special things that the people can love, for example, "music Otaku", "sports Otaku", and many more. My favorite: "Anime Otaku".

In west, the term is different, and refers always to Manga and Anime, but the meaning of the term is a liking from only one thing, I think is strange that people would can love only one, for example, a Manga lover who likes also the Comic, that's a contradiction and seems that he can't decide for one, then, that person can't call himself as an Otaku.

There are some people that likes a many things from Japan, that's no problem and they can call themselves as an "Japan Otaku" because they love things about there, but, there are people who say "I love Anime, it teach me a lot of things, more than the school", and after all in some cases they are disrespecting the culture with bad comments about series that don't like them, no in the good form, they do it as a crude form of criticism and offense against the likes of others, that's a false Otaku.

And there are other kind of people, I call "Pirate Otaku", is something like the previous example about Manga and Comic, and these people say they are "Otaku", even they say to "love Japan" and that things about Japan are their "dreams", but they are loving things from other cultures and lying when they consider themselves like true Otaku people, without know the origin of that word. Even, when there is one person that accomplished all the requirements for being the true Otaku, the other people, the previous three kinds, look at he like a "rare" person, for the fact that he like only one thing from some topic, for example that he like only one type of music, or one type of places, etc., that person becomes strange for others, and that's the problem between every kind of Otaku people, and in the most cases people look that is very difficult to become a true Otaku, and leave the trying for reach it, there are many of they who end becoming up in the other false kinds.

And that's my opinion about Otaku people, I didn't try to insult someone, there was a time when I wanted to recover the true Otaku culture, no more.
