Because it's an otaku thing.
Otaku has bad reputation for most Japanese people (society).

Well, people just do what people do.

Otaku is a Japanese term for people with obsessive interests, commonly the anime and manga fandom. So what does being an otaku have to do with making fanfiction and smutt?

The term Otaku was actually an insult from Japanese people. Yes, not all Otaku has bad reputation like we heard they were. However, if you go to Japan and tell the japanese you're an Otaku, you can see clearly their reaction towards the term like "wtf?". Plus, most of the fan outside Japan (especially in US I think) can't really be considered as Otaku since they only watch and read the anime and manga online (they mostly download it for free) and not really collect and buy the anime, manga, action figure and fill out their room (or house) with that like Japanese Otaku. I say, it's okay to used the term over the internet but beware of the reaction you'll get from the japanese people if you tell them you're an Otaku and proud to be one because it'd make you look silly. You can tell them you like anime and manga but never said you're Otaku, it'll scared them... 

 

*Japanese Otaku collect sexual/horny action figure and watched hentai, and obsessed with it. It's like you're saying "Hey, I watched porn yesterday and got a lot of sex toys in my house... cool huh? Wanna go out with me?" as a pick up line. 

 

That's why Japanese people insult them with the term Otaku (kinda a self-awareness to Japanese girl) and the reason why most of Japanese looks down to Otaku. It's sad and a bad thing to judge people like that but that's how most Japanese people thought about Otaku. Like I said earlier, just told them you love anime and manga and really fond of Japanese culture . You won't get negative or wtf XD reaction of you tell them that..

i think it's the same reaction you'll get if you tell a western person that you're into furries, or my little pony

it's hentai+pedophilia+incest

it's hentai+pedophilia+incest

Whats the problem with Hentai and how is it pedophilia? I'm going to keep pointing out that these are fictional characters and that the only difference between this and a story with this is that one is drawn and the other isn't.. We now have a case were people are getting offended just to be offended. If you don't like something don't look at it. There is a guy who made a game where you basically react a big massacre. I don't like the game but it's his right to make it and my right not to play it. Just like it your right to not view these things.

Well society is crazy for tying to put real world morals on fictional characters.

I didn't start this discussion. It's possible Sakura could cheat on Sasuke with Naruto,since he is away all the time though if kish did that it would make them look even worse. If he was gonna change the ending then he should do genjutsu or something.

In doujin, it may happen.
But in canon, it will never happen.

Just like theres no way naruto & sasuke will have Brockback mountain relationship no matter how much they gay for each other.

Otaku is a Japanese term for people with obsessive interests, commonly the anime and manga fandom. So what does being an otaku have to do with making fanfiction and smutt?

You're thinking of otaku is that of what western fans have turned that term into. ie the Japanese word for nerd and geeks. What it really means is basically pathetic loser that are a drain upon society. And in a country and a culture that believes putting society's interest entirely before a single person. That's a bad thing.

 

Also if you start using character in anime that proudly proclaim they are otaku as an example that not the case. One that an attempt to please the otkaus so they purchase the stories products. Two they still write them as complete weridos and losers they just use it as an attempt at humor through the otaku's oddities or they should be proud because of their uniqueness. Three some writer may also be otakus so of course they try to make them look better and better perceived in their stories then they are actually in real life.

@DGM

You think 'Otaku' = Passionate about manga, anime and Japan...

But this is a wrong translation of the Japanese word made from the American side.  The japanese word doesn't mean it.

 

The otakus are NOT just nerds or enthusiasts....

They are more like addicted to drugs. They have no life apart their interests.

What is worse they often merge what they actually saw in manga with real life, with all the drifts which this creates.

Really there is two reasons for this misunderstanding of the word otaku. A differences in culture in Japan & the US, and US anime fans attempt to sound more sophisticated by calling themselves a foreign word they don't understand.

 

In the US it basically a geeks vs jocks problem both have good and bad points. Geeks are week but smart but are mostly stereotyped as spineless leading them to being bullied. While Jocks are Strong but dumb and are stereotyped as the bullies. Both have their supporters who believe that one or the other is a fine way to live while disparaging the other. But both are accepted in society in their own way in the US and the west. In Japan their a more work focus culture. Working people are a benefit and are improving and maintain society. While non working (such as otakus) people are a drain on society and are leading to it's degradation. And since Japan has a society over an individual person mindset other then in manga anime and light novels most things support the workers (as far as i understand) unanimously. So the US is fine with geeks, while Japan considers them a waste of space if they are not working.

 

Also people would watch the sub version of anime didn't understand what otaku meant. All they saw were people they saw as nerds being called otaku, and figured that must be the Japanese word for geeks and nerd. Not knowing of the negative connotation that is actually associated with the word. So they proudly started calling themselves otakus to represent their love of anime and japanese culture, while not understand what the word actually meant. Making them look like idiots.

Otakus care about nothing but their fan service. They ruined mangas and anime. Even Hayao Miyazaki said so http://www.escapistm...s-Full-of-Otaku

That has nothing to do with fanservice though.How do you know otakus like fan service? So non otakus cant like a little fan service?Fan service is ok if it's not over the top unless the anime is a joke or its supposed to be over the top.

[TouKen4Life3g]

So what's the point of fan service if there's no target audience?
