The main characteristics of otaku culture

Otaku used to refer to people who are keen on animation, comics and computer games (ACG), but now it generally refers to people who are keen on subculture and have a deep understanding of it, but it has been widely used by people from all walks of life in Japan and tends to be neutral, and some of them are proud of being otaku. For Japanese anime fans in Europe and America, the sense of praise and criticism of this word varies from person to person.

When the otaku culture spread to China, some changes took place in its original form. In China, not all "houses" are considered as royal houses-although the differences between these concepts are very subtle ... "houses" have gradually evolved into a culture, just like all cultures have their own factional characteristics, otaku culture is also divided into several categories. Here is a brief introduction of different types of houses derived from China otaku culture.

Chunzhai

Commonly known as squatting at home, except for work, necessary shopping, tourism and other necessary trips, I don't like to go out on weekdays and rarely visit. Most of them have fanatical special hobbies, which have nothing to do with ACG teaching, and many of them have resistance to crowded places.

Empty house

This is a type that is easily confused with "pure house". The main characteristics of an empty house are: I don't understand the importance of interpersonal communication, I don't have friends, I don't want to go out all day, I don't know the society, and I don't even know myself. An empty house has no great ambition. It seems to be interested in everything, but in fact it is not interested in anything. The difference between empty houses and pure houses is that most people in pure houses have jobs, fixed hobbies and positive attitudes towards life, while those in empty houses are often the opposite, mostly neets who have just graduated from college. This type of house is usually called "Nite".

Erciyuan house

Secondary residence refers to the type of residence that has enthusiasm for the secondary world (that is, the "two-dimensional plane world"), such as comics, movies, comics, photography, novels and so on. ). Because of my passion for my hobbies, I neglected people or things in reality. Because not everyone in China understands the connotation of the second world, or even rejects it, such people are often regarded as weirdos.

Mengzhai (ACG Zhai)

Meng Zhai can be regarded as a subspecies derived from "Fannie and Freddie". The origin of Meng Zhai is attributed to the rise of Meng Culture (see the entry "Otaku Culture" for details). The birth of Meng Zhai is usually due to the love of Meng culture. Meng Zhai is one of the most common residential properties at present, and it is also the most widely known residential property. Meng Zhai doesn't have to stay at home. In fact, anywhere can make Meng Zhai's heart beat. Because of the deep relationship between Meng culture and Meng Fu, Meng Fu is also called "ACG Fu".

computer room

Computer family refers to those who are quite proficient in computer technology and internet technology and would rather stay in front of the computer than go out. This kind of people often have extraordinary intelligence and low self-control, which is a contradictory existence.

Technical room

The extension variety of computer room refers to people who like to study all kinds of knowledge and technology, thus ignoring social interaction. These people are usually not interested in the second world, but focus on their own knowledge. Technical house is a type of house that is not directly related to "staying at home", and its territory usually includes schools, libraries, companies and other places. This is a very special type. Of course, there are many other types of houses, because the number of people is only a small part, so they are no longer tired.

The evaluation of otaku is easily regarded by the public as an unproductive group for some otaku who are too keen on subculture products. In addition, collecting certain subculture products, such as guns or pornographic content, may be regarded as potential criminals. Such as the famous case "Tokyo" in Japan? Gong, a prisoner in the case of kidnapping and killing young girls in saitama, was questioned by the society because there were a large number of pornographic animation videos in his home. In addition, because they are too keen on specific fields, many people's interpersonal relationships and social skills are poor compared with the average person, so the society's perception of this ethnic group is generally not very good. At present, the situation in Japan has begun to change. Because Japan is a country at the forefront of capitalism, "economic value" has become the general indicator to measure everything. In 2004, Nomura Research Institute, a famous social and economic research group in Japan, put forward the Market Report, pointing out that this market has a scale of 2.3 trillion yen, but the actual market scale may be even larger because the original research direction is not extensive enough. With the 9th International Architecture Exhibition of La Biennale di Venezia hosted by Italy, the theme of the exhibition project of Japan Pavilion is Meng, and some specific two-dimensional portraits of beautiful girls have been adopted by some internationally renowned design brands, so that their value has begun to be affirmed by the world again.
