SippyCupSamurai Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 (edited) This is a call to arms for all clans named after an anime! Let us unite and together create a mighty and geeky alliance with shared interests. I am the leader of the Tenno Survey Corps, a Shadow Clan inspired by Attack on Titan. I welcome all other warlords with anime themed clans to join our struggle. If you're interested in being a part of The Otaku Alliance, simply post a reply with the following information: CLAN NAME: LEADER/S: # of ACTIVE MEMBERS: As The Otaku Alliance grows, I will coordinate with other clan leaders to spruce up this gathering thread and also add links to each clan's individual recruitment page. Also, the Tenno Survey Corps is currently recruiting. We have about 20 active members so there are 10 slots left. All of our research is complete. Just pm me with your in-game alias for an invite.

Most people don't know the term and those who do associate it negatively. thats were you are wrong , unlike asian culture. western culture dont just jump the gun and think that most people dont know the term but your well wrong. compare our culture to asian culture and you will find a massive difference in negativity towards that term , trust me western culture are way more friendly towards that term compared to asian culture wanna know why! because we tend to look at things in a different prospective and open up in somewhat of a way, and or dont give a crap what other people think but we let them enjoy what they enjoy lovin, if people want to be an otaku then by all means let them meanwhile in asian culture they will always be looked down upon because they are viewed so straight forwardly..

SippyCupSamurai Posted April 7, 2014 Author Share Posted April 7, 2014 sooo did not mean to double up on threads or start a debate over the term. clearly i should have waited for a proper alliance forum section to be added but i saw another alliance thread on here so i felt encouraged. and yes, the term is commonly used negatively. however, i am based in NY and can assure you...in the states, it is widely used in a positive way to embrace a culture of anime interests Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vargras Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 however, i am based in NY and can assure you...in the states, it is widely used in a positive way to embrace a culture of anime interests I have never seen "otaku" used positively, so I'm not sure where you're getting this "widely used" thing.

Megakruemel Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 (edited) HOOooii ~ Shogun (Warlord) of the Edelweiss Otakus here! Our Daimyos (Generals) are Evanescent and Psycomet.

Megakruemel Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 About the negetive use of the term Otaku... yeah. we have been through that too. It seems to me as a definition of hobby and preferences- not something negative. People used it as something negative before, which is why it is sometimes used that way but i would not say it is something mean to call someone an otaku. People tend to follow the general direction- calling it wierd and so on but i disagree. Liking anime is not something you have to be ashamed of.

Psycomet Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 So this is me replying to ALL THE ABOVE POSTS: If OP made duplicate posts then that was his only fault. If he made a post in the wrong section then that is forgiveable because even I didn't know the "Find an alliance" sub-forum was live already! Now for all those ************* who have come here to "discuss" the term Otaku, GTFU. If you want to join, then say so, otherwise mind your own business. Okay so the term is used negatively? So why are YOU getting butthurt if someone intentionally calls HIMSELF that. Come here to give your existential hypothesis on CULTURAL DIFFERENCE?? GO TO ANTHROPOLOGY CLASS! Delete this post? Well... sadly have nothing to say to that. Peace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
