I started reading a book called "Little Boy: The Arts of Japan's Exploding Subculture" on a whim; it's a catalog from Takashi Murakami's last exhibition for his Superflat 'trilogy'. It was published in 2005, so obviously the scene has changed quite a bit but nonetheless, I'm curious about /jp/'s opinion towards these 'definitions' of otaku (taken from a conversation between Toshio Okada and Kaichiro Morikawa).

>Morikawa: Many otaku think they like what they like even though they know these things are objectionable, when in fact they like them precisely BECAUSE they are objectionable. This gap between their own perception and reality has made it difficult to distinguish otaku from mania [socially-adjusted obsessives]...otaku don't just purely love anime or manga, they choose to love these things in part as a means of making themselves unacceptable. That is why their interests are so broad [anime, manga, and figures rather than just one category].

>This dame orientation is evidenced by the history of otaku favorites. Up until the 1980s, people who watched anime-any kind of anime, be it Hayao Miyazaki or Mamoru Oishii or whatever- were all considered otaku. Today, Japanese anime is so accomplished that one film even won an Academy Award. As a result, grown-ups can safely watch, say, Miyazaki's anime without being despised as otaku. The upshot of this is, as soon as anime and games earned respectability in society, otaku created more repugnant genres, such as bishoujo games and moe anime, and moved on to them.

>Dame does not define something as bad or low quality. It's the self-indulgent fixation of otaku on certain things that is socially unacceptable.

>> No.9324677

Okada, who claims to belong to a previous generation of otaku, believes otherwise:

>Okada: Morikawa-san, you otaku are "urban-centric"; they are the hopeless otaku who roam around Akihabara...it's wrong to define them as core otaku. In my experience, otaku like science fiction and anime not because these things are worthless, but because they are GOOD. Otaku are attracted by things of high quality. Some otaku obsessions become hits, others don't. But according to Morikawa-san's definition, the question of "quality" becomes irrelevant in otaku culture. But what's survived in otaku culture hasn't become unacceptable. It's survived the competition because its quality has been recognized. Once something like a bishoujo game achieves a certain level of quality, you buy it even if you don't actually like bishoujo games. I feel otaku are tough customers who demand high standards.

Are either of them accurate? Do you believe them to be simply pretentious?

Otaku the a result of the modern age. The reckless abandon these individuals treat their lives with is a materialization of the subjectivity of morals and value, the loss of spirituality and the freedom of all information.

It is not about quality, it is about a social stigma. As such, it is completely compatible with this:

>they like them precisely BECAUSE they are objectionable.
There could definitely be truth to this. It's not a stretch to think that many otaku gravitate towards the objectionable in order to find a common ground in which to relate to others like them. Take /jp/ for example. This place would be incredibly twisted to a "normal" person's perspective, but here, we feel a part of a community by virtue of the fact that many of us have trouble dealing with the world out there. I agree that some otaku may like "otaku things" because it makes them different, but not for the sake of being different. Rather, it's one of the few outlets for which they may express themselves amongst those like them.

I disagree, however, with how "repugnant genres" are born from the mainstreaming of anime and manga. Bishoujo and moe have always been an intrinsic part of the otaku subculture. A larger focus upon it may just be representative of the times (socio-economic change), rather than a contrarian movement.

I see it as a sign that the otaku label is still heavily stigmatized. Everyone tries to distance themselves from it, except for actual otaku, which is something I find very respectable. At the same time, writers, directors, artists, etc. have more to lose, so I guess it's understandable, but I don't like people dancing on the fence. The problem with the Superflat movement is that they try to create the illusion of being on a side. Many of them are otaku, but some of them (even some otaku) criticize and try to distinguish themselves from it. If they wish to instigate change, they must be more concrete in their ideals.

What the otaku subculture really is is the inevitable embracing of the hyperreal in a world saturated by symbols and images. It is not an escape from reality, but rather an extension because reality itself is no longer real. The irony is that there is now more truth in fantasy than what is termed "real life". It is the result of a society centered around consumption.

Not the guy you were talking to, but you have to think about the fact that many horrors in life weren't well known at all. For instance, people didn't really know what happened at wars until the media managed to reach the war zones; abuse to child or women was either commonplace or never talked about; and poverty/ugliness has always existed, but (I think) now is aproached differently, since the development of an individualistic society makes most people live in a "every man for themselves" kind of mentality. It's worth noting that, since delinquency became so well-known, people began to fear contact with each other, which also explains these individualistic shenanigans.

On the other hand, the internet is a place of anonimity, and as such one does not have to think too much about the consecuences of saying or doing something stupid. This, combined with the rising liberation of sexuality and subjectivism in general, makes room for things like those horrible sexual fetishes to bloom stupendously. Since the internet is an incredibly collective place, where people from everywhere can say whatever kind of things they want, some people look inside its darkest corners and are understandably repulsed. But, who is to blame for these atrocities? The people, of course.

With this reasoning, each individual understands what the other anon called the "truth trough the internet": that the entirety of humanity is half-made of twisted and perverted people.

The idea that people are innately evil predates contemporary society, media, and the internet. People have always been aware of life's "horrors". If anything, the internet itself is the tool for escape as it allows one to control the flow of information on a personal level, and let's one "take a break" from reality. It's a place in which one's constructed self can flourish due to anonymity; a place where people drown in their own egocentrism and ignorance. It makes no sense that a person would turn to a niche subculture to escape truth when the internet already serves that function.

Do you think people are on this site because there are deep, hidden truths to be uncovered? No, they are here because the world outside scares them. We have already seen the truth. We reject it for the convenient half-truths found here.

He's talking about the emotional void that our lives can't fulfill. Our lives in this broken, meaningless society amount to nothing, no matter what we do.

What the internet does is show us that it's the same everywhere. This world might have seemed like a big place 20 years ago. Big enough that it could hide a place for dreams and happiness somewhere. Not so much anymore.

I wrote emotional void but you could call it spiritual void or simply a lack of meaning. It doesn't matter.

No, I understand what you're trying to say, but was only pointing out that your post cherry-picked the idea that the internet is used primarily to share and obtain information elucidating the harshness of this world. It's a double-edged sword and we can see with the popularity of blogs/social networking/"time-waster" sites that the contrary of what you stated is not only true, but might even take precedent over any pragmatic function of the internet. I would go so far as to say that due to the creation of the internet, people are the most out-of-touch they have ever been. Social change movements today are reduced to regurgitated memes and blatant ego masturbation. We live in an age of illusion, but we think it's meaningful because it indulges the self.

I don't think "truth" has anything to do with things.
Society itself is changing, and we are the result. The waste, so to speak.
We don't know more or less than "normalfags"* about the horrors of the world. We have very simply been broken and conditioned into a state where we are no longer capable of functioning in the real world.
Most of us are afraid of other humans, some of us also completely lack ambition, rendering them unable to stand up every morning to go pursue a career. We have been trained into uselessness.
No matter what the reasons are, we constantly feel rejected and oppressed by a world we cannot deal with.

The "subconscious" doesn't exist in the sense you're using. If there is a "subconscious", it probably isn't capable of complex symbolic reasoning.

I'll be honest, this sounds like Intro to Psych-level analysis. There's no "subconscious"; what you're referring to is the Unconscious, which is limited only to Freudian/Psychoanalytical psychology--something that most people (psychologists included) regard as bullshit. My post was not really about "truth", but rather about escapism and how the internet has served as a tool to facilitate this. If we wish to talk about truth, we must understand that it's relative to the individual. If anything, I find the half-truths here to be more true than those in the outside world. To put it simply, and I feel this is why otaku do what they do: If I must live in a dream, why not one in which I am comfortable?

I agree with you that we engage in these things as a result of this world, but we don't do these things because of a contrarian need to be "different". We do these things because it's the only thing we can do at this point. This is the only way we can express ourselves in a world that flows against ours. It's not a shock to find so many NEETs and hikikomori, because the world out there is neither rewarding spiritually nor physically.

But those are totally different. People do things like draw swastikas everywhere because they know that other people will see them, and children distance themselves from their parents because they want to deny their parents the right to be with them. Most people who get into "undesirable" hobbies, on the other hand, don't do it because they want to go out and parade them around like you do with your bad and violent traits—they do it because, like most people who get into hobbies, they enjoy them and aren't totally repulsed by the other people into the hobby. If they really only cared about their hobbies because of other people's reactions, they would probably act like you and make sure to make them clear to everyone.

Good point. There are two kinds of "otaku" out there. I did not save the images, because frankly I never found them very funny, but you surely have seen them as well, where guys openly present themselves with their dakimakura, while others seem to try their best to hide their hobbies, favouring "power-level hiding" desktop backgrounds and t-shirts (even if that is probably just a game to many).
I do not choose my hobbies purely on the social status they come with, but I must admit to a certain kind of pride that I felt when I created my gore folder all those years ago when I first started on 4chan.
For the Japanese it might be even more extreme, since they have their group mentality, so it's either WITH the normals or AGAINST them.

Ingroup/outgroup bias is common to everyone and I'm sure everyone get's at least a little excited when they do something favorable in the eyes of their group, whether or not it's even perceived. I wouldn't call people who parade around with dakimakura "otaku", nor would I call those that needlessly hide their hobbies "otaku". The label doesn't even matter. What matters is that the individual enjoys what he or she does. I feel that in your example, such behavior would detract from a person's actual interest in a particular hobby; they former sound like exhibitionists, and the latter sound like closet fetishists. Both enjoy their hobby for reasons other than the actual entertainment value.

There are also plenty of geniuses and scientists that fit perfectly in society, like Hawkins.
The fact that these exist or not doesn't really matter, though, since no one really knows what "intelligence" means. Most people relate it to the ability to work in group, which is why dogs are considered more intelligent than cats.

There could be, but there are also many well-adjusted, "normal" scientists and researchers. I have heard that there's a correlation between high intelligence and psychological disorders, but I don't think social disorders fall under that category. My common sense tells me that a person unable to communicate properly with others lacks the intelligence in order to do so. They may possess a lot of fluid intelligence, but that will only get a person so far.

True, but that doesn't mean they suffer from the "us vs. them" mentality any more than individualistic societies. If anything, a collectivist culture could create a larger ingroup, in which even those that deviate are still part of the whole.

I thought the Japanese were a lot more ostrasizing than any European country, with bullying being commonplace almost everywhere.

Possibly. I really don't know because I don't know much about Japan in general. I do know that during times of crisis, they work together amazingly well as opposed to America which breeds rioting and a lot of hate. It's could be quite true that the collectivist culture polarizes the people further when it comes to hobbies/interests, but I don't know if that alone drives otaku to invest so generously in the industry. I think, first and foremost, that they enjoy it, and even then, it would mean a stronger niche community which is something I've longed for living in America.

Just my two cents, I really don't care if society likes or dislikes my hobbies. Monstergirls, moe, DFC, whatever. I neither parade them nor hide them, not that people often do go into my room. I don't think all "otaku" by nature do it for the anti-societal attention or feeling of rebelliousness that some theorize. Some, maybe. I do it just because it's what I like, so that what I'm going to do. Implying there's some kind of "subconscious" reason for this seems a little fishy to me.

America breeds rioting and hate because it is not a united, homogenous society, which Japan is.

America breeds hate because the education is really lacking.
Yuropfag here, I've recently sat next to a mother telling another woman that she had to be very careful in what kindergarten to enlist her child. She had heard that there were muslims in one, and she definitely did not want her daughter to have to deal with such differences at such an early state of her life.
It was fucking sad, and if I wasn't who I am, I might have explained that to her.

Yuropoors love muslims so much they are even giving them their countries.

Another yuro here. Maybe he was trolling, maybe not,but I think the point of that post was the "dealing with such differences at such an early state" bullcrap.

Yeah.
Sorry, I'm bad at explaining things.
