O_O! Dude! Talk about twisted. >_> There are some freaky peoples on this planet, I tell you what.
I've referred to myself as an 'otaku' on a couple of occasions.. though I've never been "called" one.. *shrugs* ..I guess I don't really care too much.. the westernization of the word pretty much just meant 'anime fan' for a good long while, and since I've never found myself obsessively staring at anime girls' perfect skin, watching videos and hissing at daylight, or chopping up any poor children, I don't think the meaning of the word is really effective in describing me, or most anyone else in the US who likes anime in the 'average' sense.
Still, this is good info to have. Thanks for the clarification, Meryl! I sure as heck won't be using that word to describe myself any more.
