In Japan, that's what otakus are, but in America otaku really just means an anime fan that is a little more than casual. I hate it that people who use "Otaku" in the west often think it means "nerd/geek". Japan has proper actual words that would fit the mark better, especially as Otaku's are not always a match for the nerd/geek stereotype. Especially as "Otaku" for a long time has not been a good term to be called.

Its a case of them using it like a loan word instead of using it for its correct terminology, as most "random-Japanese insert" weaboos do. :-/
