I mean Otaku.
Otaku means not leaving your house because of your fandom, it means having no social life because of your fandom, it means that your life is your fandom.
A lot of people use it as a word for anime/manga fans, that's not what the word actually means and in japan it is a very, VERY insulting word.
I don't know about you, but where i'm from having your life revolve around one single thing sacrificing all social relationships isn't a healthy nor good thing, it's a pretty fucking bad thing.
