Japan has lots of cool folk tales, ghost stories, urban legends, and crime stories.

Let's share some!

Half the stuff OP mentions is /lit/ related dorkwad.

And at the same time it all has to do with Japan and you can bet your ass that there is such a thing as a "Japanese culture Otaku."

Heike Monogatari drinking game

1. Take a sip whenever a man cries, twice if he cries so much that his tears wet the sleeves of his robes. Take a swig if a large group of men are crying and their tears all wet their sleeves.

2. Take a sip whenever a samurai (or a concubine) becomes a monk (or a nun.) Twice if he threatens to be a monk as a bluff but goes back on it.

3. Take a swig whenever the Emperor does something "most awesomely" (such awesome acts include writing poems, shedding tears or giving the rank of a prestigious courtesan to a damn bird, complete with the yearly salary of some ridiculous amount of rice.)

4. Take a sip whenever someone drowns. Upgrade to a swig if people drown en masse and to a shooter if it's because of their own stupidity (Let's attack those boats on our horses! We cannot lose, the Emperor favors us!)

5. A swig whenever Kiyomori loses it and decides to wreck the Imperial family's shit. A shooter whenever he actually does it.

6. A swig whenever the author complains about how the days of Buddhist law are ending and how the world has become corrupt.

7. A sip whenever civilian houses (and the civilians inside them) are burned to begin a confrontation. A swig if a temple is burned in the process and the monks go crazy over it.

8. Take a swig for every dumb pun and misunderstanding on the part of Yoshinaka. Two swigs if the author calls him boorish (but fuck the author, Yoshinaka is awesome.)

9. A sip for every poem. A swig for each reply to previously mentioned poems. Another swig if the poem earns its composer some ridiculous sobriquet (Who-gives-a-shit Chamberlain is especially notable.)

10. A sip for every exile. A swig if the process of escorting the exile is given vast amounts of unnecessary detail, two swigs every time we get back to the lives of previously exiled people.

11. Take a sip for every miracle. Twice if it was prayed for beforehand (in Japan you can order and pay for miracles.) Thrice if the god personally appears or possesses a spirit medium and names his price.

12. A sip for every time a precedent is mentioned. Twice if the author notes that a new precedent has been set and that it's a terrible event that has upset the court. A swig if the precedent in question is explained in full detail, two swigs if the precedent was from China.

13. Down the whole bottle and stop for the day after the battles where Genji completely crushes the Heike forces. Kurikara, Ichi-no-Tani, Dan-no-Ura.

"Otaku culture" is also an EXTREMELY broad subject. And what does the "jp" in /jp/ stand for again? Oh right, Japan you fucking cunt. There's a reason why your posts kept getting deleted by the janitor and it's because you're ansad, autistic can of cockroach shit that, instead of simply ignoring/hiding the threads that you're uninterested in, you feed off the sense of empowerment by dictating what's "acceptable" on this board through hazing new posters. Fuck off already you couple of sad sack of yankee doodle shit cunts.

and oh yeah
>All images and discussion should pertain to light and visual novels, figures and other otaku paraphernalia, Touhou Project, Vocaloid, doujin works and music, and diverse niche Japanese interests (kigurumi, idols, mahjong, tea)

So in short, it's still part of a culture which came from Japan (if something as stupid as idols or kigurumi belongs here regularly, so can one little thread on japanese folklore, legends, crimes, etc. that probably will only "bother" you for a day at most) and you can still be an otaku about anything or still be loosely into it.
