Being Different as an Otaku

It’s been some time that I gave a thought about something that is trivial for me now. It’s about how other people thinks about an Otaku is weird and different from the rest of them.


Being different isn't really a big issue for me now, because for me, being different makes you, you! It’s how you define yourself and it makes you unique. If you are going to look about different stars in the western, they have their own unique look that makes them a star. Let us look for example, Lady Gaga, in previous years; she wears different get ups just to show how unique she is.

Otakus really isn't much different; they embraced how uncommon they are. And besides, who wants to be common or normal in today’s age? If you are an Otaku, would you prefer to have normal friends who don’t even know what your interests are? Of course not right?

Be Proud of who you really are and continue loving anime, manga, and everything that can make you happy. Be proud of what you love, because people love something else too. Like Kpop, Boy Bands, Hipster Trends, Emo culture or just being plain nerdy and geek.


And besides, even though it looks a little childish from other people, Anime really has a lot deeper meaning behind them. We can actually get different life lessons just by watching anime. And it is actually a good thing to get obsessed with shows with a deeper meaning. And speaking by experience, I can really see a lot of lessons behind every animated shows that was aired by Japan as anime.

It all depends on the perspective of the person on what he will like and what he deems normal. At the end of the day, I don’t think being uncommon or weird matters. After all, everything will fall on a perspective of an individual. But for me, Otakus can also be weird and at the same time Wonderful.

Don't you agree? If you do, don't forget to hit a like button down below, or if you can somehow relate to me, give it some love and share this post to your friends and say I am proud of being different, or I am proud for being an Otaku.
