My husband knows and he doesn't get it. He hates anime and doesn't read, but he doesn't care that i like it. I also told my 16 year old cousin (she's an otaku but not a fujoshi)...

Keep in mind an otaku is not a positive or endearing term in Japan. One shouldn't strive to be one either, it's cool to be passionate about anime/manga/cosplay/figures/etc. but for it to consume your life and you start staying indoors all the time, don't socialize and the sorts is not a good lifestyle. As people who are not Japanese, we romanticize...... reply
