well, probably otaku is the meaning of someone who really like their hobby more than anything

and otaku (おたく)have a similliar meaning with nerd, geek, and enthusiast to something

Yes and I really like my hobby, but I don't want to be identified as a pedo to people who doesn't understand this culture (which is roughly everyone I know). Because of that I can't talk about my interests to those I know in rl.

It feels to me like closet-pedos have hijacked the word otaku to use a somewhat nicer word as psuedo-justification for their denial.
This is why people cannot be openly known as otakus to people who doesn't understand it. It's really annoying to have what you really like stigmatized like that.

Idk, I don't think that liking lolis and playing vns makes you more of an otaku. Everyone has their way of enjoying this culture, be it through anime, cosplay, models or w/e.

I think I forgot my point... Well just don't be a douchebag hipster to people just like you.
I can see where that comes from. That too is a thing I'm afraid of. I'm really into lolis, but their mind can be: Anime girl>>underage anime girl>>underage anime girl pron>>pedo. :?

Also, I don't like using the word because it brings stereotypes into play. I just want to play my VNs brah, don't assume anything until we talk ._.

@Adicchi
The holy trinity of nerdyness, as I've seen it called '-'
I fit the three it seems...

Very true definition of otaku. A strong passion for a hobby. For us it is anime.
As my OP said. I relate everything around me to anime and also proudly show my love of anime to new employees I train.
People ask me why I'm "addictes" to anime.
I say I'm not addicted... its just my lifestyle. People wear vand shirts or favorite TV shirts. I wear anime shirts.
People get tattoos of a band or favorite pinup or stuff. I got anime tattoos. Its just who I am and always will be.
Ps: I got 3 anime tattoos

By all means I love lolis.
But I hate being labeled pedophile because of it. It really hurts. I'm already labeled as one to a few people on this forum.

Couldn't play Grisaia(on classes pause) when I was on normal route, or on Amane's route. Hide those things woman ¬¬ :) :D

Old, but.

If you haven't watched it, you'd probably find this a laugh at least. Rather informative too.

Whenever i start playing VN during class, always a ecchi scene comes. All the time. Even though the VN itself has 2-3 ecchi scenes in total, they always find me in the class.
