Would 你 rather people call 你 a Weabo, Otaku 或者 just plain 日本动漫 fan?

The thing about Otaku is that the word has negative connotations to start with so it's ok if 你 felt offended. in 日本 it just isn't a word for 日本动漫 粉丝 but the ones who let 日本动漫 consume their lives so much that society looks down on them *think the guys who marry their 枕头 wives and help the growth of loliconism* weaboo is for the newbies to 日本动漫 who think 日本 is the end all of everything and think they understand the culture based only on what they know from watching 日本动漫 despite not being interested in anything else incorporating some japanese words into their dialogue and probably have the "right way" of being an 日本动漫 粉丝 in their head.... sorry this kinda went into a definition rant but yeah i like being called just an 日本动漫 粉丝 too, it makes me uncomfortable when people identify themselves as otaku with the negative connotations it really has but i actually don't mind the weaboo jokes (not being called a weaboo in all seriousness but as a joke) idk i think its a fun word

Otaku is fine wit me lol

I don't mind either, personally, but I do wish terms like just "anime fan" were 更多 common, since there are people like myself who fit neither weabo 或者 Otaku criteria.

I call myself a weeb all the time as a joke. I mean, I was a weeb way back when I was like 11-14, but I've since grown out of it despite having my occasional weeb-ish tendencies.

I'm also not so dedicated as to call myself as an Otaku, either, in neither terms of the 更多 negative Japanese connotation nor the less negative English connotation. I enjoy 日本动漫 and I'm 更多 likely to chose to watch an 日本动漫 over a number of different TV shows, but I wouldn't consider it as main of an aspect of my life as a true Otaku would.

Now, there's nothing inherently wrong with being either a Weabo 或者 an Otaku, it's just that neither term fits me and I know that there are many others in the community like that. Like you.

I agree that it should be 更多 common to use just the term "anime fan" 或者 "casual 日本动漫 fan" rather than just labelling everyone as either a weeb 或者 an otaku.
But that's 更多 of a problem with people outside of the 日本动漫 realm, I've noticed.
