/jp/ - Otaku Culture

the classic kind

The average kind.

>>23706975
How do you do the things you do?

>>23706975
Idk
Classical?

I don't think I am one. At least, not compared to the Japs

im an otaku otaku.

>>23706975
The hiki neet one!

YELL IT
YELL IT
WHEN YOU WISH UPON A STAR

foreign culture, language, and media otaku, especially japanese. By foreign, I mean non american

Saab otaku

>>23706975
I dunno. Classic otaku maybe

>>23706975
The nostalgiafag.

the horny kind

Always too aloof for secondaries, but too ignorant for true otaku, I spent the entirety of my otaku life without a place to belong.

>>23717373
it's not too late to become real otaku!

>>23717660
/jp/ is full of Hikki NEETs. They’re already halfway theough the door of being otaku

>>23706975
The MAD kind.

>>23706975
dunno the cosplay one that walks around japan aimlessly

I'm an embossing label maker otaku, mainly Dymo Labelers

This is the Dymo Tapewriter 1550, which fits tape sizes of 3/8'' and 1/4'' I also have the 1570, which is essentially identical but it fits tape sizes of 1/2'' and 3/8''

Probably my favorite labeler. These were made of a sturdy metal construction and built to last. It's not like the mass produced plastic ones, this one is designed for heavy use in an office environment. It's vastly superior to get one of these used off ebay instead of buying a brand new made-in-china dymo.

You need to stock up on old tape rolls from ebay, as they stopped making them in the US and the chinese ones are of an inferior quality. Old tape rolls are made of thicker plastic and actually stick much better than new tape. You can usually buy a whole lot for cheap.

The heads (letter punching circle) are interchangable to different fonts and sizes, also to make the words come out vertical or horizontal. I have about 6 of them. I was recently thinking of importing Hiragana and Katakana heads to put in so I can make Japanese labels.

I got involved with label makers after working on old computers and electronics and delighting in the vintage feel of embossed labels computer nerds of long gone would use for their custom switchboards and electronic closures.
I have no one else to discuss labels with and don't have much else to still label in my house
Thanks for reading

>>23718473
post things you've labeled

>>23718621
Remember the great labeling incident of 2005? I was there.

>>23706975
I don't think I am an otaku anymore. I've absorbed too much net culture and now I'm full. I still love the aesthetics of niche otaku media but my only entertainment is obscure short stories. Maybe I need to create something and get all of these 2000s ideas out of my head and on paper, and then I'll be able to engage with otaku culture again.

>>23718473
I wonder if the litter picker otaku is here.

The normie kind.
I have a medical career, I'm fairly normal and boring outdoors, but my home is a fucking disgusting weeb cave that would scare away any person with even a spec of dignity left in them.

>>23732018

>>23732018
same, I work as a software dev and completely indulge in collecting weeb shit, jap games, and sleep with two dakis and any fumo I want to cuddle up with.

>>23706975
Not a Vtuber /SEAnigger thats for sure

How many different otaku are there?

layed-off otaku, formerly employment otaku, ex-truNEET otaku

>>23732518
G*cha cancer is just as bad as vtubers, so pot kettle etc.

the kind the suicide hotline staff recognize and greet by name

the idol kind

The “normal” kind

>>23733174
Then why won't you call (me), you know I'm a fan, and so does your stalker(s)

I just want you to know that I appreciate your unbridled autism, friend.

>>23706975
Im not an otaku, i am a Specialist.

the horny for 女子高生 kind
god I wish I had one as a wife, I am so desperate to have children with one and raise a family, every day I can't stop thinking about how badly I want one in my life and in my bed...

>>23736586
Realized I'm too old to hit on JKs

the worst kind

one who hates everything, especially himself

>>23740667
hell yeah

The all kinds. Touhou, mobage, 2D idols (imas mostly), rhythm games, anime, 音MAD, lewd doujins, just Japanese internet culture in general really. But not vtubers, those don't really grab me. I'm also hikineet.

>>23741898
yeah thats most of us

>>23736586
What happens when they grow into a JD?

>>23740628
I've been attracted to them since I was in middle school and I'm 23 now. Their cute uniforms, their lovely black hair, their tender faces, their small bodies constantly emanating a sense of innocence and youth... they are irresistible!

I want to form a meaningful relationship with one someday, but if I ever came to the realization that I'm too old I would unironically kms

>>23744767
If they're already with me by then, that's fine
I wouldn't search for JDs specifically though because by then they're probably not so cute and pure anymore, I don't want someone who's already seen a hundred guys

>>23706975
Cosmopolitan Otaku

A lot of things, really
Anime, simracing, F1, im@s...

>>23706975
Closet otaku

>>23747648
What are your favourite closets?

kawaii one

>>23747648
Glad to find similar minded people here. I'm a window otaku. I romanticize windows because they are the only gateway to the outside world for me as a hikkiNEET and anime characters are always looking out windows.

I fucking hate my job and myself, all I have the energy to do when I get home is jerk off and watch anime. What kind of otaku does that make me?

>>23757536
do you like kawaii or are you claiming to be kawaii, anon?

>>23759227
karoshi otaku

>>23726084
>obscure short stories
where do you find this?

>>23706975
The kind that actually lives in Japan and is well adjusted.

>>23706975
i just want to fuck anime girls

Mating press rape sex dungeon otaku

>>23718473
>an embossing label maker otaku
You like my avery?

>>23766071
In old pulp and science fiction magazines like Weird Tales, on Wikisource and on Twitter. There are amateur writers on Twitter who are pretty good but don't advertise their work anywhere else.

This is all in English, of course. I wish I knew enough Japanese to read Japanese Internet writers with strange ideas. If you know where to find English translations of such writers, please respond.

>>23706975
The one who doesn't watch anime but loves the designs

>>23706975
The 80s otaku. With some sprinkling of some modern anime like Lucky Star and the likes.

i reccently got into gunpla, soon my apartment will be filled with them. sigh.

Unironically doujin/eroge/etc.
Honestly pretty unfulfilling, should really switch to something else.

>>23718473
>>23772631
I'm getting strong vibes of Edd from Ed Edd 'n Eddy here.

Did you also numerate the objects if there were multiple in an area?

>>23706975
Cosplay whore otaku

The chad otaku that fucks all the cosplayers.

>>23796268
I'm sorry, but I'm not familiar with chads. What are they? How many have you collected? What's your favourite chad?

>>23796405
>What are they?
They're the things you punch out when you punch holes in things.

NEET. I almost was a real person once but I fucked it up

I'm just an original series beyblade otaku.

I'm not

Isn't otaku just japanese equivalent of a nerd?
I promise to not post any more, just, please answer my question

>>23718621
no way...
I know you must get this question a lot but, what was it like?

None, Otaku are scum.

>>23800832
No
>>23796268
Crossie

>>23706975
I dont even know, all I do is play 2d armpit sniffing simulators now

>>23795894
Are you one yourself???!!!

>>23800832
no it keeps the same meaning, it only means nerd if you attach it to something else to specify. the distinction obviously doesnt exist in the west

>>23803051
Yes

A fake crossboarding otaku.
I read mangoes on crawling aggregators, my favorite being the ones by Minoru Furuya. I attempted to learn japanese a few years ago. I tried to get into touhou at around the same time but I couldn't even 1cc anything unless I was on easy so I uninstalled everything.

I am a japanese martial arts otaku too though but no one cares on this board. I have kobudo weapons and I have a signed copy of "This Is Karate" by Mas. Oyama. I train karate every singe day--down to the stretches and fingertip pushups. My favorite karate manga is Grappler Baki and Shamo.

the one who has a job and works out before returning home and fapping to loli futa porn with his /ona/ approved hip toy

Merch collecting 2hu purist otaku,

I don't know if I am an otaku, only been watching anime for 5 years and probably and only watched 200 shows at most.

the otaku who hates /jp/ - Otaku Culture but still comes here every week or so to see if there's a not-shit thread. This one is just alright, I suppose

>>23812856
Honestly a good way to go about it, since the non-general thread turnover is still pretty slow.

the restless arts-and-crafts perler bead making otaku

in all fairness I'm not so much 'otaku' in terms of participating in subculture, more like I enjoy collecting good, valuable properties to enjoy? Every few months I'll find something to learn all about and consume and file away happily into 'shows I enjoyed'. I'm on /jp/ so obviously that includes Touhou

other than that, random bits of trivia, folklore, history, language/grammar tidbits from an amateur perspective. The same with plenty of other countries, just maybe more frequent regarding Japan.
