Though even if I woke up tomorrow and I was Danny Choo, I wouldn't have the self-confidence (and lack of self-awareness) to be such a huge weeaboo and prey on other weeaboos like he does. I'm not sure if he's a genius or a manchild, but he has my respect for making a fuckton of money by exploiting idiots and doing what he enjoys for a living.

I like how he avoids talking about his father. People only found out he was Jimmy Choo's son because in some post he wrote an offhand comment about how he used to visit his dad's shoe factory or something.

I'm sure he avoids talking about it because his father was a dick and sent him to foster homes, and it has nothing to do with his dad being incredibly rich.

I have nothing against what he does overall, but I really disliked how in one "Otacool Guide" thing when he talks about dakimakura he basically says "Don't care if you don't know who the girl is, they're usually from porn games so nobody knows who they are anyways, just get cute girls for otaku points!" You don't need to be dedicated to only your waifu, but the idea of not even caring about the girl and just doing it for nerd cred is appalling.

Though I don't know if he really said that or if it's just something his detractors made to make him look bad

Don't you guys get it? "Otacool" is all about being as little otaku as possible while still inserting yourself into the subculture.

I mean think about it, fat smelly nerds who stay in their rooms all day playing VNs will never be cool. Its all about making people think you're into it while not actually having to be.

Didn't the 'omg I'm such a nerd" movement teach you anything?

I'm hella jealous. He says he never asked his father for money, but I'm sure if he wanted to he could just start designing shoes plus the connections.

When I was in school, a man pulled up outside in a sports car and came to the gate. He asked me and some friends if we could bring him Luke, a boy from our class, and he gave us £10 each for doing it. So we brought him Luke and it turns out this guy was his estranged dad who abandoned him or something, and now he's super rich and wants to see his son again.

The lucky bastard. He was actually really distraught at the time (and the "Luke, I am your father" jokes didn't help), but now I bet he's living it large with his dickhole of a father trying to buy his forgiveness through houses and cars.

He is trying to get his generic mirai mascot drawn by every well known artist in Japan. He shat on yuzusoft, which didn't let foreigners on their website in the first place (now they do thanks to Danny). His dad is rich + he probably married any old Japanese woman to get the spouse visa to achieve his goal. He promotes "Otacool" since 2009 as a way to justify his existence in Japan,pretending he does the country service by explaining subcultures. He gets a ton of free shit and has no clue where it's from. Etc...etc..

I think we get it, but he outright lies to people. Bitches aren't going to suck your dick in Akiba because you're a gaijin who likes anime. That's the sort of image Danny Choo aims to present to people.

I don't even mind the idea of Cool Japan or promoting Japanese popular culture, but he does it in such an idealistic way that I'm worried it might actually be harmful. Imagine turning up in Tokyo and it's not the otaku mecca Danny Choo pretends it is.

I don't hate him, but I certainly can't like him.

He was a normal person who loves japan, goes to japan at some point, and that motivated him even more to be such otaku.

He made a blog long time ago and it ends up to be such bible for shitty-newfag nowadays. And he turns his popularity into a money-milking company.

He sets up a website-making-designing-or-something-like-that company after getting his way into japan. Befriend some companies like GSC and boosting his popularity more by posting stuff about figures and such. What makes it worse, that he gets stuff for free.

I don't know how much his dad has help him to be like that, but I didn't think that he milk his dad money. What I know, is that he get a job at a huge companies, promoted, then quit at some point, and go back getting a job at another huge companies.
