In Japan, though, where everyone knows the term, it gains broader application, so you see it being used as everything from a term of endearment to an insult.

Posted by Koda on 07.31.2013, 02:19 PM: I am also confused, who is the definer of words then ?. The original meaning of words, isn't what they always mean now is it ? Regardless, of whether people like it. The English language, unfortunately is just confusing.

Posted by Kazegami on 07.31.2013, 02:39 PM: People are, of course, the definer of words.
|
Posted by Koda on 07.31.2013, 03:02 PM: Exactly, I mentioned that previously. We are the ones who define these words, the meaning of Otaku is changing.
