After reading some of the post in here as well as in the Anime Shrine website and Sankaku Complex, I can consider that I am an otaku but I am a Type A otaku and not a Type B otaku.

As for supporting the anime industry, I try to support it the best I can.

Some of the way that I use to support it are:

1.) Watching it at cinema
2.) Not buying bootleg "original anime"
3.) Not buying Odex's anime

I also watch anime through streaming although it sort of fall in the grey area.

Legal, yes but bear in mind that they chase after almost everyone who download anime to watch even a 9 years old person. They also had a very bad sub and they once stole a sub from a fansub and made it legal.
