Take that picture,replace the Fate-chan stuff with sports memorabilia and he would look like a dedicated sports fan pushing for "his" team,someone you'd like to have a beer with.

This. Seems pretty unfair that anime/manga fandom is looked down upon yet other fandoms/obsessions are deemed a-okay.

Danzaiver said: Are you really comparing competitive sports fandom to half-naked-minor fandom? I'd much, much rather hang out with a football-crazy asshole than a guy with "used" tissues, a masturbatory aid, and a hentai love pillow in his room.
Pffft. Sports fans (not all, mind you) who are assholes are absolute fucktards. And it's not like only otaku masturbate. Talk about hypocritical. So what if they do it in the privacy of their rooms, I'd only worry if some guy starts masturbating in public.
I'd rather hang out with hardcore otaku. Other than their questionable rooms (do YOU make it a habit to go into peoples' bedrooms?! wtf) they're usually decent - if a little shy - people. Of course there are asshole otaku as well, but even then most of them tend to be the passive-aggressive nonconfrontational types.
IsometriK said: The problem most people have with otaku is the sexualisation of it all. Sports fans generally don't want to rape the shit out of the football team.
What i don't get is why people make a big deal about one's hobbies be it anime/manga or sports it shouldn't really matter you know? if it makes you happy that's what should only matter.
