I discovered the difference between an otaku and a weeaboo today.
An otaku is obsessed with japanese entertainment. i.e. anime, hentai, figures, manga, etc...
A weeaboo is obsessed with japanese culture. i.e. language, pocky, bento, fashion, etc... Isn't a weeaboo or whatever, are they the fans that are like "Screw English dubbed anime, they all suck, the original Japanese with subs are better and will always be." Well, you get the point or am I wrong?

Well, you get the point or am I wrong? Wrong! At least in my case. I prefer English dub anime. I am an otaku and gladly admit it, at least in this country. Calling yourself an otaku in Japan will get you funny looks. Perhaps you are confusing people like me with the anal types who are all talk on certain forums who more than likely have never been to Japan. I was unaware that there was a name for fans of Japanese culture. I am not surprised. There is a name for people who are fans of English culture. I confess that weeaboo is a silly sounding word. Haha.

I mean, I'll look on the forums and they always look down on English dubbing, hating on the English VAs, and the list goes on.

Just notice that the people who raise the most cane are the least intellectual.
On another forum we have had a discussion on this phenomena. There are haters that love to hate. It's a waste of energy and time to behave that way or to converse with them. They have the personality type where they think they have to control the conversation.
I ignore them. Why let them ruin my day.

I hate the word otaku-I love anime but don't call me no stinking otaku.

I don't know if I would be considered an anime otaku or not. I guess I wouldn't care if anyone were to call me that. I do watch anime almost every day. It gives me happiness and pleasure in my life. If I'm not avid enough to be considered an otaku, phew; and if I am... c'est la vie.
