I believe posts in this thread are referring to the westernized meaning of Otaku, which simply means a moderately hardcore anime fan. Still, very good points because I doubt everybody that posted in this thread is aware of this.UnderminE wrote:
SPOILERWhen you don't have an actual life.
When you start fucking your life.
When you start being too obsessed about not-living things all the time.
When you psychologically forget that you are a living creature.
When you go outside just for anime/manga/Japanese-related stuff like buying something or going to a con.
And all. Other else are just "liking anime/manga/Japanese culture" not being otaku. I can not understand what is good about being an otaku. A person who goes to school, talks with friends, falls in love with a real girl/boy, does other things except Japanese-related stuff and still calls himself/herself as an otaku. That is not what otaku means.

When you shout "Masaka!" out loud when something bad happens without wanting to.
I've done something similar. Once, when I accidentally bumped into a girl walking to my next class in school (my school's pretty crowded), I instinctively said "oh, gomenasai". She gave me the weirdest look ._.Plus wrote:

I called my little sister "Imouto" all of the time and sometimes moe
I always say gomenasai as a form of apology
I'm only attracted to 2D girls
