/jp/ - Otaku Culture

why exactly are you posting this on a touhou board?

Movie Otaku being first makes sense. It's a pretty normalfag hobby now anyway.

What surprises me is how high Manga Otaku score. Because the average Manga Otaku I picture is someone who collects especially rare works or works tied around a genre (loli as example). Where does the good reputation come from?

Japanese women must really be desperate

I don't know how this survey defines 'otaku', but I think that definition would be very important.

Nah.

>>17777217
Everyone reads manga in japan. It's like western capeshit, but wider. There's manga for kids, teenagers, adults, elder people, housewives, salarymen, etc, etc, etc.
What gets popular in the west is not the same shit the salarymen are reading in their commute by train.

A fan of capeshit that has some comics on their library is a normalfag here, a fan of manga like that is more or less the same there.

What about roricon Otaku?

Why do bike, model and military otaku fare so low?
Riding a Harley Davidson with a hottie and a shotgun is fairly manly, no?

Car otaku at almost 50%? If only /o/ didn't make me despise "car people" and give up on caring about cars. I still drive an uncommon car but its falling apart and I'm too lazy to fix it and too lazy to buy a new one.

>>17777357
*looks fight hidding in a tree*

>>17777307

pedophiles are not popular with women, and would probably rank almost as low as the fig otaku

>>17777168

i'm disappointed that photo otaku got left out

>>17777218
I agree, but OP and the video actually got it wrong.
>とはいえ「全部NG」は10.5%と少数派。でも許せるレベルはけっこうライトという、女性のシビアなオタク許容度が浮き彫りになりました。
>「全部NG」は10.5%と少数派。
which means 10.5% said no type of otaku is forgivable. So only 1 out of 10 women thought any type of otaku is no good, which should be higher.

>>17777324
bike otaku crush their balls riding around everywhere

40% of nip women are OK with game otaku? Damn. I might actually stand a chance over there. Then again, anyone browsing this board is likely too far gone.

It seems like gaming has slowly become less stigmatized here in the west, but if you play anything more hardcore than the latest popular FPS then the stigma is still there, full force.

>>17777681
What if I play the latest hardcore eroge?

The question is
What kind of game will we be playing by the time normal people find acceptable/engage in eroge?

>>17777740
Maybe we'll regress the other way and start playing PUBG-esque games.

>>17777730
only if its at night

>>17777749
Oh god, the future is bleak.

We'll be waiting a good while. Hopefully by then VR will actually matter, because let's be honest, it was never about the games. It's always been about the porn, but nobody wants to say it. Bunch of fucking cowards.

>>17777168
>2nd - Manga Otaku 56.0%
nice

Who the fuck cares about what women think though.

>>17777218
Considering all of the societal problems Japan has, it isn't really that surprising.

>>17785014
>considering all the societal problems
thanks (((anon))), that really enlightened me

>>17784980
Women and men who care about women presumably.

>200 women
Wow, what a worhtless sample.

Where do boob otaku rank?

>>17790288
99%. The 1% was a jealous flat-chested girl

Is this for romantic interest?

>>17777286
What do business men read, then? Fukumoto? Delinquent manga?

>>17790441
Sazae-san
Doraemon

>>17790441
Gag manga, crime, gambling, sequels and remakes of old series, softcore porn

what about rape otakus?

When I read the thread's title, I thought it said that Otaku were the most popular amongst Japanese women. I was eager for some pretty entertaining shitposts but I guess life goes on.

I don't understand these percentages. A percentage is literally "out of 100" yet I'm seeing 62.5% for Movie otaku followed by 56% for Manga otaku. Immediately, the sum of the percentages is surpassing 100. Can someone explain to me how to interpret the data?

>>17797037
Each option has separate percentages.
Ergo:
-62.5% of women say movie otaku are OK vs 37.5% who don't
-56.6% of women say manga otaku are OK vs 43.3% who don't
-18% of women say figurine otaku are OK vs 82% who don't
-10.5% of women say any otaku are OK vs 89.5% who don't

Does model otaku mean scale models or buyfags

>>17797156
Oh, I see. Each one has its own independent approval rating. Now that makes sense.

A daily reminder, that it doesn't matter what your hobby is, what matters is how socialized you are.

>>17797194
When it comes to small talk or doing a small amount of hanging out with average joes at the bar, yes. If you're in a deep relationship with someone, whether it be friendship or marriage, then no. Having things in common is a crucial part of interpersonal relationships. And if your life is consumed by Gundam, it doesn't matter how suave you are, you won't get very far past small talk.

>>17797213
>friendship
Doesn't matter as long as it's not considered criminal or degenerate.And "looked down upon" and "degenerate" are different things.
>marriage
A completely different field,your hobby would be the last problem in this sort of interaction.
>Having things in common is a crucial part of interpersonal relationships
7812 years of parents, determening marrige of their children, and nowdays couples getting married on frienship basis, simply becasue being single by late 20's is considered being a spinster, tells us "no", as long as hobby is not obsesive.
>And if your life is consumed by Gundam, it doesn't matter how suave you are, you won't get very far past small talk.
If your life became consumed by Gundam by your teens, then you couldn't develop social skill to begin with.If you became obsessed with it after personal development, then it wouldn't matter as long as it doesn't develops into addiction, which is entirely different topic.

>>17777174
Movie Otaku => watches normie faggot movies

>>17797213
>Having things in common is a crucial part of interpersonal relationships.
Are you sure? I thought one of the critical failures of "nice guys" is that they assume sex comes about from generating homogeneity rather than polarity i.e. they think it's important for they and their partner to be as similar as possible. That similarity and absence of conflict is what will strengthen their relationship. They seek in a lover what they should really be seeking in a friend. A male friend.

>>17777168
What is a special effects otaku?

>>17797633
Tokusatsu.

>>17797378
Rather than a homogeneity or polarity, I think good relationships come about from not being a weenie.

A lot of "nice guys" just tend to be weenies who never speak up for themselves and are afraid of any sort of conflict, so they lean towards homogeneity.

>>17777168
That's pretty interesting. Personally, I would rather date a figurine otaku rather than a train otaku. Maybe JP women prefer train otaku because they go outside for their escapades?

>>17777168
Which category is for lazy otaku?

>>17799346
My idea of "polarity" is "hyper-individualism" i.e. to polarise yourself. To take a radical, pro-yourself stance. When you polarise yourself, others around you will also polarise as they will either act and leave you or act and join you.

>>17797213
>Having things in common is a crucial part of interpersonal relationships

lmao
the only thing women care about is being dicked by chads

>>17777168
>Movie "otaku" 62.5%

>>17797366
Nailed it. I wonder if the survey takers thought "Movie Otaku" is "someone who regularly appears in movies, perhaps as an extra/IE higher chance of being attractive."

>>17799794
>the only thing women care about is being dicked by chads
No,they also care for money.

>>17777168
>11th - Idol Otaku - 25.0%

That's what you get for lusting after plastic 3d whores. You're a normalfag to me and a freak to normalfags.

>>17801288
What? Seriously confused here.

>>17778224
>resenting Chads instead of emulating them

>>17801346
no one likes idol fags

>>17797163
Plamo, buyfags would enter figure otaku

>>17802579
Got you. Thanks.

>>17777681
Probably because most nips play normie smartphone games now

>special effects otaku in 13th place
well shit.

>>17777168
>>1st - Movie otaku 62.5%
>>13th - Special Effects Otaku 18.5%
Double standards are funny. So are bad translations.

>>17800926

In Japan, a movie otaku isn't the same as the Western concept of a "film snob." Movie otaku are more obsessed with genre movies and special DVD/BluRay releases.

Looks like there's hope there for almost anyone

>>17805530
Liking kids shows should be frowned upon, which is what most tokusatsu otaku are. This isn't even like a significant amount of anime that's usually directed at young adults, the main demographic of modern and old toku is children.

>>17784980

People who are trying to procreate?

>>17814615
And... how that affects us?

>>17802056
Who are you quoting?

>>17814615
Are you serious?
if not, good bait my boy.

I wish I could procreate, and live life like in one of my fatherhood manga.

>>17814615
What is it like to procreate?

>>17818662
Must be nice.

>>17777168
How in the world are military/special effects/figurine otaku less acceptable than idol otaku?

I wonder how white gaijin piggu rank various otakus. Probably far less forgiving than japs.

>>17814615
Hello? What are you doibng here?

>>17819910
Because japan aren't good at winning wars and they can't impress anyone because they aren't allowed guns.

>>17814615
Get the fuck off of /jp/

>>17819910
Liking girls is normal.
Liking inanimate objects is autism.

>>17819910
special effects and hoarding plastic crap are probably less attractive as >>17820083 said.
>>17819914
I wouldn't doubt it. Again it really depends on how socialized and attractive the otaku is but those that go to Japan typically aren't the best picks.

>>17819820
I wouldn't know.

>>17821686
Neither would I.

>>17820017
>japan aren't good at winning wars
le ww2 is the only war that ever existed xd

>>17824666
Didn't Japan lose some war during an invasion of Korea in the 1500s? But really Japan hasn't been in too many wars as a sovereign nation. They mostly been fighting amongst themselves throughout history.

>>17825693
They won the Russo-Japanese War.

What about boob otaku?

>>17777168
Since I moved to JP I have been with 3 girls, and I guess that things depend mostly on personality.
I have an "above average" amount of merch for anime (Love Live and JoJo, and manga).
Most of my friends say that its too much, but girls don't seem to mind it.
I tend to play a lot of games, specially SFV, but they seem to not mind it, as long as I don't neglect them, or rather include them (all have sat through tournaments with me).

I think its mostly personality, desu. Most get kind of worried about the idea of you spending your free time/money on hobbies, instead of them. Which would make movies somehting good to be really into, since you can watch together.

Just don't be obsessive, I guess?

>>17826540
>Just don't be obsessive, I guess?

That's a key point in defining otaku, dude.

>>17826558
There are degrees, though... One of my friends has 2 jobs so that he can tour around Japan seeing the bluray screens of the lives... even after he actually gets to go to them.
But, also I have friends who are really into something (like military) and make a huge investment in it, but doesn't really affect him daily.
its crazy to see people letting themselves be engulfed by things to that degree.
