An analysis of the 9 none-too-subtle signs by which women may identify any man as an otaku and therefore spare themselves the shame of interacting with him has predictably been proving incendiary online.
The reasons, based on “survey results”:
1. He was wearing an anime T-shirt or had anime goods about his person
“I feel pretty desperate when I see guys with anime characters on their T-shirts” – 20-something woman
“I imagine their rooms are covered in that moe anime stuff as well…” – 20-something woman
2. He has perfectly mastered the art of “ota-gei” [dancing and other antics carried out at concerts]
“I was so frightened when I saw this guy at karaoke with us had the moves to an anime song down pat!” – Teenage girl
3. He talked endlessly about the cuteness of some anime character or another
“I cannot recognise any creepy guy who goes on about the cuteness of an anime character as a real man.” – Teenage girl
4. When he proclaims some game character “his wife”
“He called a girl in the game ‘my wife’! Even for a cool guy that is not happening.” – 20-something woman
“It’s pretty creepy wondering about how he gets his rocks off if he has seriously fallen for a 2D girl!” – 30-something hag
5. He smiled broadly to himself whilst reading manga
“Guys who grin to themselves whilst reading some saucy moe-manga are just the worst! Like reading porno, they shouldn’t look at that stuff in public.” – Teenage girl
“God, it is so gross when they read moe-manga and they look like they are getting turned on!” – 20-something woman
6. He used speech patterns from anime in his mail or speech, such as “-nari!” and “desu-zo!”
“When he starts using abnormal words like ‘de gozaimasu-zo,’ ‘-narii’ and ‘da-nyaa,’ you can’t help but think he is ota.” – 20-something woman
7. He used unnatural words to represent sounds in conversation, such as “ho-e˜”
“He was hot, but when he started saying ‘mogyu-mogyu’ whilst eating I just lost all interest in him.” – Teenage girl
“Seriously, I thought he just reeked of otaku when he said ‘fumu-fumu’ on the phone!” – 30-something hag
8. When he wants you to call him by some weird nickname or something
“Jeez, I was grossed out by last boyfriend wanting me to call him ‘****-pyon’ and ‘goshujin-sama’…” – 20-something woman
9. When he started singing an anime song at karaoke
“I was a bit worried when he started singing in a falsetto voice during an anisong at karaoke…” – 20-something woman
Irrespective of its accuracy, this is proving controversial amongst creepy otaku or those who feel they may be unfairly branded such:
“Anime otaku are done for!”
“I reject living my life just to curry favour with women!”
“Damn, when I am stood in the convenience store reading Gintama I occasionally smile…”
“I don’t fulfil a single point, but I still reek of being an otaku.”
“Most of these points are a bit beyond just being ‘otaku-ish,’ aren’t they?”
“If you keep your mouth shut they’ll still mark you as a creepy for not talking much.”
“Can’t we even laugh at a gag manga now?”

Reading a gag manga and grin at it makes you an otaku...
Having anime goods means you're an otaku...
Singing anime theme song = otaku ? The songs are also sung and composed by people who might or might not be OTAKU
I rather be single than to not be myself.
I wonder: will I be branded creepy kimo-ota if I put my classically-trained bariton voice to good use singing Yoko Kanno's great rendition of Ave Maria from the Cowboy Bebop soundtrack? By these women's logic, I would be a creep even though I just made a performance that would earn me standing ovations in the world's opera houses... there is music in anime way above all the shallow, primitive shit in mainstream radio (yes, that applies to Japanese chart / AC music too). Just how incredibly shallow and hypocritical can you get...
teenager & woman where talking about "moe" manga
And of course, it's only just cute when all the gals go around parading around Fujoshi-isms. Because guys are all creepy and girls are all angels, am I rite? And in this article, girls apparently all have no sense of humor and guys are creepy as default... :sigh:..
Both sides of the stereotypes really annoys me.
This. We can make a counter-list where the number one reason to not date these bitches would be: "1. She's sooooo fucking picky, bitching about everything I do, I like and I am."
As a girl, I usually read manga or novel on the train. And well, grinning was enough to creep people out. I don't see what part of it makes you an otaku than simply "weird" or "creepy" argh...
can we meet? i need a girl that knows the goods of manga (and someone i could borrow some mangas from too) =D
lol desperation.
desperation is the human condition. if you deny it, you're a fool. and also a liar.
is always better for girls to go for more normal types, rather than otaku creeps.
amongst their usual choices are\
Alcoholics,
Drug addicts
cheaters
Criminals
women beaters
all of the above.
those are always their choices even above other non otaku guys, but that fail to have one of this virtues.
you missed date rapists.
a good number of these hoes actually has rape fantasies and want to be raped for some odd reason. The problem is you don't know if they "deem you worthy". If you don't want to be arrested or simply find rape distasteful, the odds are they are going to be nailed by some douchebag who just don't care. The screwed up part is that they then come to you expecting help clean up the emotional mess and are genuinely surprised when you refuse to bother with them because they are insane.
"a good number of these hoes actually has rape fantasies"
THAT'S A LIE!
*All* women have rape fantasies. Of course, they'll deny it because it's no fun if the man knows she's enjoying it.
"*All* women have rape fantasies"
Definitely not true. Sure, some of them do, in a large part because society *strongly* discourages them from making the first move or having casual sex, so sometimes it seems like the only reasonable way to just get laid is to be raped. However, not all women have rape fantasies, and not all of those who do want it to happen - because being raped really fucks you up, and in a not even close to good way. Regardless of if you're a man or a woman.
It's not unheard of for someone to later fall in love with their rapist either, and there's all sorts of messed up psychological issues that go into that (including the fact that they were fucked up by the rape itself) but that still doesn't mean they originally wanted it.
wut is missing is "does not have a sexy trim waistline" bc its a well known fact that creepy otaku don't workout.
Women like to get raped whether they are aware of it or not. Its the way evolution works. the next generation isn't born of women's rights and romance, its born of might makes right, its born of the ALPHA-MALE (or a pretender).
it'll change with time. just like in the 1980's no one really liked a girl with a big ass, now we can't get enough. soon otaku will be an acceptable niche for women.

Shut the fuck up, you poor naive bastard. ~ Sincerely every self respecting woman you'll never touch in your life.
Wait a second.
Are Western Teenage girls otaku?
They have their walls covered with posters of their idol (Justin Beiber, Miley Cyrus etc).
They will often see a movie more than once if it has their favourite actor (Twilight Movie, Harry Potter)
They smile whilst reading books (Twilight yet again)
Dear god I think I'm on to something here. Quick everybody, we need to create trains just for men and have Justin Beiber do handshaking booths.
it depends on a lot how you use the words.....
there is no negative form of fandom in the western world.
even if you try to use the fanboism or fangirlism against them ... they would just came back at you when they gathered o.o
Oh yes, yes there is a negative form of fandom in the western world. "Twilight fans" "Harry Potter fans" "Justin Bieber fans" "Tokyo Hotel fans", those are all negative forms. And yes, yes, we hate them. We hate them with every cell of ours bodies.
Every person in the world that goes nuts while seeing their idol is just as retarded as them. I mean, just get a life, stop living through the image of some random people singing/writing shit.
Wrong. Completely.
Right, Absoulutely.
Moreover, I don't know about other countries, but in France we have lots of fangirls that love Japan and just go crazy when they see an asian guy. Yup, "asian" guys, because they can't tell the difference between japanese, chinese, and korean. This just makes me laugh so much...they go around, saying "kawai" "sugoi", reading manga and dressing like goths. I just lose faith in humanity everytime I see one.
Yeah it seems like they are if you put it that way. I mean don't we look at those Twilight fans like they'e freaks of nature?
There are otaku (read: fanboys/girls) for damn near everything. We just associate it with anime/manga/J-idols/galge/[other japanese culture things].
"5. He smiled broadly to himself whilst reading manga"
don't girls do the same while reading "normal" books ? (or their stupid gossip mag)
And what about funny manga whose sole purpose is to make you laugh?
Yeah, something like Gintama.
If I see someone reading Gintama without a smile, I'll have to assume that he's an illiterate and just pretending to be reading.
You're a funny guy, Zura!
If people don't smile or laugh while reading Gintama, then clearly they have no sense of humor.
Yes. Like Gintama!
Double standards are the bane of people today! It's silly and hypocritical.
It looks like the girls are specifying "moe-manga". So apparently if you smile in public while reading manga with nothing but moe characters you are a creeper >.>
Even in a manga filled with moe characters there's always some story in them that can make a person smile. A manga with no story is known as an artbook.
your on sankaku and u exspect anyone here not to be a boarderline pedo and a creeper?:3
Its pretty obvious for anyone who sees my car, I have an orange SanCom sticker on it.
The triangle thingie.
^_^
As well as the stickers on the side.
If you read moe manga at all you're probably a creeper and boarder line pedo.
Pedos:
Pros - gave birth to lolis(manga/anime-wise)
Cons - they like 3d RL kiddos(yuck)
...Now to relax with some hardcore loli anime = Nisemonogatari(I think I misspelled it)
I knew a bitch in highschool years ago who would sit in her desk and read "romance" novels all day... and when she did, she'd start gasping, moaning and shifting around in her seat. She was ugly as hell too, so everyone would watch in abject horror.
If she were hot, people probably would have reacted much differently.
I wonder how these skanks would react if it were some fuckhot celebrity grinning at a gag manga. I can assure you it wouldn't be like this.
i too often suffer fictional events that didn't occur in reality
Can't help but seriously sensing the strong level of double standard there. I mean, how is smiling while reading manga about adorable girls doing cute and funny stuff different with people smiling and even loudly laughing while watching videoclips of cute cats and dogs doing silly stuff on Youtube? I don't see the latter one getting stamped as Bestially Fetishist.
And those Twilight stuff, no?
4. When he proclaims some game character “his wife”
“He called a girl in the game ‘my wife’! Even for a cool guy that is not happening.” – 20-something woman
“It’s pretty creepy wondering about how he gets his rocks off if he has seriously fallen for a 2D girl!” – 30-something hag
These 3D pigs will never be able to understand me or surpassed my waifu for eternity
what happen if I put on my powerpuff girls t-shirt? Am I considered some kind of creepy american otaku?
And I want to called professor.
Careful, people may mistake you as Lenny Baxter..
Now that's a good one.
-30 something hag
trololol
10. When were about to get it on he suddenly giggles kishishishi.. fufufufufu
"Guys who grin to themselves whilst reading some saucy moe-manga are just the worst!"
What the fuck is wrong with this woman?! Probably she has no sense of humor cause she's satan...
How does a non-otaku recognise anime songs or rather how would one categorize one in Japan?
How do you think when you heard a song like this?
"Yu~ri yu~ra ra ra ra yuruyuri"
Jpop or Kpop.
Remember that Korean gee gee gee song?
bc the lyrics are in moonspeak dumbass - I always get funny looks by neighbors stuck in trafic when playing ost's on my stereo.
it's more about anime-style songs. you'd be fine with the average long running series openings as they are usually fairly standard songs but if you sing bright anime-pop the girls in your booth might retreat a little (hiku)
Happy! Lucky! Dochi! Yes! Yes! Yes!
Mostly everything composed with a synthetizer.
Must be normal if you hum a song from let say FLOW even if it was in an anime
Simple it was in an anime !
