/jp/ - Otaku Culture

[Anonymous No.]

"Hikikomori" is now an English word.
Also, bromance.

The second edition of the dictionary added such Japanese words as "otaku," meaning fanboy or geekhead, and "karoshi" for death from overwork.

Tired of the long distance relationship theme he keeps recycling.

They add Japanese to the English dictionary to talk about things they see as problems with Japanese culture or something to use to make fun of them. The implication is that gaijin are big doctoral experts on Japanese culture who could solve all their problems by making them un-Japanese.

Makoto Shinkai. Made the two animu films "5 cm per Second' and "Beyond the clouds, The Promised Place". I love his art, so him wearing a woman's shirt is fine w/ me.

You do understand that dictionaries are not meant to be the Holy Untouchable Truth, right? Because it's easy as fuck to edit them, right?

Guys, I think they made a mistake here.
Or did they change the definition to suit western taste?
Shouldnt it be the other way around?

[Anonymous No.]

>>5979988
Yes, the definitions sound slightly weird to me.

e.g. otaku is just a fanatic fan.

About time someone got the fucking definition right. I was starting to wonder when the west would get it straightened out.
It's not even a good thing, dammit.
As if "herbivores" weren't bad enough.
God, I hate my country.
