I find that whenever someone uses the term "Otaku Culture", I have the urge to laugh really loud.

QUOTE(DrBlueBox @ Mar 21 2012, 10:04 AM) Indeed. There is a general misconception of what really IS Otaku Culture. I mean really, in Japan that would mean you are in your house, being a hikkikomori, growing fat, watching anime, leeching of your parents, stalking seiyuu, fighting about it on 2ch and repeat ad nauseum. It perplexes me how Japan manages to market this so called "culture" as a good thing to the outside world and yet still regards the otakus in Japan as scumbags. I can't tell you how many anime directors actually called these otaku gross, and more so the various seiyuus that was stalked daily by their fans. Japan did not market the Otaku Culture.So Malaysian, do YOU have what it takes to be a REAL otaku? It's the foreigners that created this "culture" through rose-tinted glasses. And I swear, every time I hear anyone proudly proclaim that they are otaku, be it Malay, Chinese, or Caucasian, I just want to laugh in their faces. |

QUOTE(Brian O'Connor @ Apr 5 2012, 07:24 PM) I'm more worried about 'daring' cosplay by our female cosplayers. The Singapore Ballad Dance Performance has been cancelled recently by our Kementerian Penerangan due to so called 'exposed and indecent' costume by the dancer. Since, PWTC is an attraction as a gov. place for any event related to gov. organisation, afraid somebody, someone or some nobody or wannabe good citizens will take advantage on that to report to the minister with reason 'will give bad example to society'. Except that "cosplaying will give a bad example to society" is actually a valid complaint. Not sure about you guys but I rather not have more attention whores and prima donnas trying to wrestle for the cameras for their 15 seconds of fame. |
