Otaku's house for otaku.

For those who understand the meaning of otaku, the term "otaku" can be regarded as a simplification of "otaku", and then "otaku" and "otaku" are the terms that specifically refer to "male" or "female" otaku, and are also used as otaku and otaku. Usually refers to people who are keen on and proficient in ACGN (the abbreviation of animation, comics, games and novels), especially Japanese ACGN, and can also refer to people who are keen on a certain subculture and have in-depth research on it. Such as "Railway House", "Military House", "Photography House" and "Technical House". Otaku's "house" is not the feature of life appearance, but refers to the ideological level, with the specific features as follows:

First of all, he is passionate about his passion and has a deep understanding of this field.

Secondly, it has the ability to adapt to the explosion and informatization of surveying and mapping information, interpret and study the cross-disciplinary nature of data search and textual research, and the secret code prompted by surveying and mapping creators.

Third, the insatiable ambition and desire for self-expression, as well as the love and opinions in the fields you are passionate about, should be expressed through various channels.

Under the influence of different periods, different regions, different technical conditions, different basic cultural backgrounds and different policy environments, otaku will show various appearances in their living conditions, but the above deeper characteristics coexist in all otaku.

Compared with traditional vocabulary, this concept is closer to the spirit of research, exploration or learning. In the state of daily life, otaku is usually very different from the "otaku" and "otaku" recognized by the general public, and does not necessarily stay at home.

The electronic equipment, video tapes, books and other materials needed by early otaku to carry out ACGN research activities are expensive, and it is difficult for an ordinary family to fully bear them. At that time, the communication technology was not developed enough, and the channels for communication and discussion were scarce, which prompted otaku to visit each other often or go to some assembly sites, and * * * used or borrowed some materials from each other to reduce the economic burden and discuss and exchange.

With the development of computer internet technology, otaku's daily activities depend more and more on the internet and home computers, and the demand for the above activities is greatly reduced, which makes them use computers at home more frequently than the general public, showing a similar state to what the general public calls "otaku" and "otaku", but there is a huge gap in purpose. This performance of other races is just a pastime of life, while otaku is for the pursuit of passion and the need to acquire relevant knowledge.

At the same time, nowadays otaku often hold some large-scale gathering and exchange activities such as fan exhibitions, such as Japanese comic book market, Pioneer Animation Festival in Taiwan Province Province, Otakon in the United States, and Epitanime in France (such activities are scattered in Chinese mainland, and their popularity and nature are different, so I won't list them here). In addition, although the price of these materials has dropped significantly with the development of science and technology, it is not a small expense for ordinary families to maintain related activities. If they are not "employed at home" or have a well-off family, and their families are very supportive, they will not be able to stay at home. Chinese-speaking areas often confuse "rotten girls" who like fantasy BL (boys' love) with "house girls". Although there is a great degree of ethnic overlap, these are actually two completely different concepts.

The word "rotten woman" comes from Japanese and is transformed from homophonic "woman", which is a self-mockery of women who love BL. "Rotten woman" has a hopeless meaning in Japanese. "Rotten woman" refers to women who have a special liking for men -BL works (including those who only love real men), which is usually a saying that women who like such works laugh at each other. When non-ethnic groups call these women "rotten women", they are words with demeaning and contemptuous meanings. In some parts of Japan, it is impolite to call each other "rotten women" directly.

Because "rotten women" like to interpret original works from the perspective of BL, many rotten women will draw and write related works by themselves. However, a "house girl" doesn't necessarily like BL works, and a "rotten girl" doesn't necessarily create works with her peers, so a "house girl" is not necessarily a "house girl". Traditionally, men and women all over the world always prefer boys to girls, and Chinese-speaking areas are no exception. This situation makes the general public hold different attitudes towards "otaku" and "otaku" (mainly referring to staying at home and neeting people), and also makes otaku become "otaku" and "otaku" in different situations.

In the eyes of the general public, men who stay at home often leave people with bad impressions such as "staying at home", "waste wood", "laziness", "hopeless", "autistic" and "decadent", and even are considered as mental illness. Although men who stay at home are respected now, the general public does not think it is a good thing. This makes "otaku" often bear great pressure from relatives and friends and society. Many otaku adopt different strategies to correct the title of "otaku", or insist on the title of "otaku" and clarify it to the general public, or completely cut it down and call it "otaku" to spread related culture. However, some people are forced to hide their "house" identity or even give up the name of "house", become "secluded house" or even "leave the house", and give up their passionate culture, ideals and pursuits, just as they can be an otaku without wanting to be an otaku, so many people are in an embarrassing state of failure.

However, under the influence of traditional ideas, women are often taken for granted to "go out less", and it doesn't matter if they don't work or communicate less. It's just that women like to be quiet or shy and always preach "good girls". In the traditional concept, "home" is considered as a good thing for a good family. Although many "house girls" are under the same pressure or have made the same compromise as "house boys", the general public generally will not treat "house girls" with disdain like "house boys", and even have a good impression on them and even pursue them.
