OMGAKITTY Posted May 17, 2009 Report Share Posted May 17, 2009 Otaku: a person that is highly obsessed with something (usually referring to anime, although it can be used in other contexts. For this poll, assume it is referring to anime). Is being called an otaku a compliment or an insult to you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Akira Posted May 19, 2009 Report Share Posted May 19, 2009 Quote pyramids are faggish even if Larxene started them. But yeah, I'd be insulted if somebody told me I wasn't otaku. I don't cosplay though, however I might dress as M. Bison at the next London Expo for teh lulz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lil Jevans Posted May 20, 2009 Report Share Posted May 20, 2009 For me, a compliment. I still use it as an insult sometimes though. On a side note, I hate those pyramids. Someone takes a good post and says 'this' and everyone's doing it. Kinda annoying to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amethyst Phoenix Posted May 20, 2009 Report Share Posted May 20, 2009 I merely agreed with Larxene because she voiced an opinion so similar to my own that I did not see any need to reword it. Quoting one post and agreeing with it is not a pyramid. When everyone else agrees with the person and simply quotes the other post agreeing with them it starts a pyramid, which is entirely out of my control. Besides, it did not reach a pyramid large enough to be a pain to scroll past. If it actually does take more than a second to scroll past, then it is simply a case of "Your computer is a piece of sheet". Now this, this is a pyramid XD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PrometheusMFD Posted May 20, 2009 Report Share Posted May 20, 2009 I would consider it an insult. I don't like anime/ manga that much at all - it's too childish. ... You're on a site based around creating fake cards for a children's card game. You've skedaddled way past childish.And if you want mature anime, there is...GantzGirl's BravoElfen Lied......and some other stuff I can't mention on this site.
