No, I mean Otaku. Sure it CAN be just something as simple as geek. But it can also mean something like: While the word is used abroad to mean a fan of anime and manga who enjoys the anime culture, in Japan, the word can be looked down upon as a term for a person with any obsessive interest (not confined to anime and manga) in particular some cases reaching extreme levels such as men falling in love with Dakimakura (Body Pillows). "When these people are referred to as otaku, they are judged for their behaviors - and people suddenly see an “otaku” as a person unable to relate to reality". http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Otaku Yes, I have read over the full page before. It'd be like calling somebody a fag. It could be an insult. It could also be something unrelated and not harmful. ~~~~~ For the record, I have nothing against a real Otaku or the foreign version of an Otaku.
