Honestly, there are "people" that does not understand that there IS a difference between anime and real life, between national stereotypes created by outsiders and reality, and between otaku population and average people:

This is pathetic and disgusting. Did they seriously think that the stinking garbage churned out constantly by the porn and hentai industries reflects the real Japan? Did they truly think that they could give free reign to their misoginy and perversion and molest people... and it would be tolerated?

 

Ironically, Japanese and Chinese people are agreeing on something for once.

I bet they think that the women are all tsunderes with d cups who have superpowers. What a bunch of idiots

[Jenskott]

Nah, they must think that all women are submissive, quiet, helpless girls whose only life goal is becoming a man's couple. It is well known that otaku hate tsundere and strong-willed women.

I thought otaku love them.

i think otaku only love boobies, and booties LOL...they're brainless shallow idiots

[Jenskott]

Given that Sailor Mercury is more popular than Sailor Mars, Rei Ayanami is more popular than Asuka Langley Sohryu (my favorite character of that series), or than Hinata is more popular than Sakura... Tsundere used to be popular in the past, but I have the feeling that now the submissive, quiet, obliging girl trope is more popular among obsessed fanboys (otaku does not merely mean "people who has a hobby". It means "obsessed fanboy") who hate real women because they have their own minds and have no relationships because they are frightened of real people.

Yes. Honestly, when I see people hating on some tsundere characters and I listen to their arguments... I have the feeling that their "I hate her because she is an abusive, psychotic b*tch" arguments are nothing but a coverup for the real reason: "I hate her because she is a real person who gets angry and disagrees with the male character and has foul moods, and she will not support him if she thinks he is being stupid or doing something dumb".

 

Maybe I am being unfair, but then I find their "Character A is an evil, abusive, psychotic b*tch and a bully with no redeeming traits whatsoever and I would never date her; Character B is warm nice, kind, considerate, understanding and I'd love tap that butt" rants, I realize neither Character A -the tsundere- is so bad nor Character B -the quiet, submissive girl- is so good, and they are hating a character for things she never did and loving another character for things she has not done yet...

 

... and I tell myself that I am understating things.

Really, these guys...

 

 

 

“Watching Japanese adult videos, I thought the people here were open about sex. I thought molesters were everywhere.”

 

       

[TouKen4Life3g]

Otaku and/or weebo, as I keep hearing nowadays.

Where did we go wrong?

[harry4e]

They probably also thought their partners would like to sit in the corner and watch and cry as they molested their partner.

 

The sad part is this is how Japan is seen by those who don't take the time to view the country as a whole, but as the way it is portrayed through it's export and media. They class the whole country (or religion) in one stereotype they have created through small tidbits of information.

 

It's not like Japan doesn't do it itself, you just have to check their portrayal of foreigners, I bet Japanese Tourists who go to Britain for the first time are dissapointed to learn we are not all rich, blonde blue eyes, tea drinking snobs, (and if female with drill curls) In fact I've been here all my life and i've never met someone that meet those requirements.

 

Stereotypes, we need to as a planet work harder to destroy them, I know I do it myself, and need to work harder to try to not let it cloud my view of a nation.

Weeabo is different from otaku, they are people who are crazy for japanese culture and are from the west, while otaku at least in japan has a negative meaning

Even so, how is "the fact" that there is "molesters everywhere" enough excuse for you to do the same... I can't get that logic.

Is nerd the otaku equivalent?

No. Otaku is an obsessed person with something in specific.

What about geek?

Something specific? Like pairing, wait does it mean we are (shipper) qualify as otaku?

What? they thought the worst they would get is a slap instead of getting penalized by the law as REALITY intended? BTW what makes any one think that a real life woman would be that submissive? That is just the imagination or maybe depraved fantasy of of whoever makes those videos. Porn isn't supposed to relfect real life just like many movies or television programs.

Nope. But I guess that if you are using it as a slang can be exchangeable with "nerd" or "geek". But it's not when it's per se.

They thought the girl will blush and shout "hentai" like the romcom scene.
But welcome to reality.

Perhaps the right word is hardcore fan.

Or maybe blush and meekly say "Please stop......."

Otaku has different meaning in the west and in japan

In the west its related to people who likes a lot of animes, watches them, etc

In japan its related to people who have an unhealthy obsession about something
