So really, I'm not surprised you would consider it an insult.

Yes, that's true, but there are some people who don't really care if they're called a "fanboy". But being called "otaku" goes beyond a "fanboy", so it really is more than an insult. Ah, maybe I should've re-phrased the title of my thread.
