My roommate told me he lost his virginity and that the condom fell off. I did not care, but it was funny and sad because he was desperate and other drama. Not sure what I should have said.

@Anubis. Maybe saying you are an "otaku" in a political campaign may seem like a suicide, but it's almost the same as if someone gay or lesbian ran for office. Not to say that gay and "otaku" are on the same level but if someone gay ran for office and were really open about it, here's what would happen "Oh he's so brave and is representing what is right. Let's vote for him! Anyone who doesn't has a problem with gay people!" Even though homosexuality is almost completely legal, clearly the country has not accepted it but people pretend to in order to avoid drawing negative attention to themselves.
So how does this fit in to the whole "otaku" thing? Well think about it. Japan is a very reserved society (to an extent) they have that "save face" unspoken rule where they do not show do or say things that will make them seem immoral, conceited or disturb/bother other people etc. This is why many Japanese people do not ask each other certain questions or do/say certain things that they feel will bring negativity to them. Shame is a big thing in Japan.
So no one in Japan is going to openly say that they don't like him because he is an otaku except to a close friend or through some form of anonymity. There may not be the same pressure as the whole gay thing but just because the guy made it into office, doesn't necessarily mean that the negativity around the term "otaku" is changed.

Wow. I used to be president of an anime club in high school and I was never strict like that. I was there to provide anime, and tell them what we could and couldn't do (like watch ecchi). People were allowed to bring anime and manga, and they chose what we watched (after I screened it). We somehow even got attack on Titan by in club cuz everyone was so adamant about watching it. They should not be so strict. It's the diversity of choices and community that draw someone to a club.

I've only completed the main story once so far as the Institute. Managed to rack up around 90 hours so far and still locations I have not explored.

Hey Zynthetik! Welcome to MO! I love Minecraft and similar games (terraria, etc.) and I also love getting rekt at competitive smash. (I can't wavedash, so that pretty much screws me over XD) But there's also smash 4 which doesn't have a wavedash, so I'm decent at that. If you want to play or chat some time, feel free! ^^
