Am I Otaku?

Am I Otaku or even weeaboo? This is a question I’m asking myself more and more lately.  I mean, I guess I fit some of the definitions.  I like JPop – enough so that I’m maintaining an entire website about it, and other pop culture things.  I’m familiar enough with different idols to have a semi-intelligent conversation about them (can you ever have a truly intelligent conversation about a Japanese idol?).

It’s a very slow process because I’m going through the discography of several very prolific bands, which means I’ve got several hundred posts in front of me, and then we can add other bands, such as Ladybaby, Band Maid, Maximum the Hormone, and who knows what else. I’ve got thousands of posts ahead of me, and even if I knock out a few a week, that’s going to take me while. And that’s just music. Add in anime, manga,… Read More »Biting Off a Lot…
