What saved me from becoming a Western Otaku in the 90's was seeing how they act online (this was also my early days on the net) they acted like... well, jerks. They acted as if they knew everything and basically shunned dubs in any language. To this day I find the Anime fandom disappointing. The old sub vs dub / manga vs comic / japan vs every other country, crap debates are still found in many forums. And it seems as if the younger the fans the worse they are when you encounter them online. I just hope they grow out of it quickly like I did.

However, Japanese Otaku can be just as annoying within their own culture about anime, manga, and games. And I am sure there are American/ophiles who annoy the heck out of people. I mean you can't have engrish without people being obsessed or making attempts at sprouting off random English words lol. __NOINDEX__
