organized comments on “Foreigner Eye on Otaku Guy”

In Gracie’s “Foreigner Eye on Otaku Guy”, our group suggest that the more clear definition to Otaku is better. Every different culture may have a word bears a similar meaning to another’s but exists a little difference indeed. To Japanese and Taiwan, Otaku might be negative; on the contrary, in other country, it might be neutral or even positive.
Still, drawing a conclusion in the last paragraph will be better.
