Still a Yaoi-faced no matter how many times you like me now. You'd have to convince me you are straight.

LITERAL MEANING OF OTAKU, BITCHES.
Otak-who?
For those not in the know, here's a quick etymology and definition of the word "otaku."
Otaku is a Japanese word originally meaning "you" or "house," but it has also come to mean an obsessive fan. Whether it be baseball, or trains, or cartoons, otaku dig their fandom so much that they will often put the importance of it above such activities as personal hygiene or the biological drive to reproduce
In English (as well as Spanish and French, and probably other languages as well), "otaku" has come to refer one specific type of otaku; the animation one. But otaku do not just any kind of animation; specifically, they enjoy Japanese animation, or anime.
The Otaku Perspective
So what's wrong with this? A healthy interest in something is just that, isn't it? And there's certainly worse hobbies one can have than foreign film. Well, while the definition of "otaku" in English is more narrow, many aspects of it are the same… specifically the obsessiveness element. Otaku (henceforth referring to the non-Japanese definition) are so blindly dedicated to anime and other aspects of Japanese culture that their obsessiveness blots out everything else, including common sense. Many otaku believe that Japan, its culture, its language, and, of course, its cartoons are far superior to anything America has to offer.
That's right, otaku are so frighteningly obsessed that they discard many aspects of their own culture for that of Japan's. They listen exclusively to Japanese pop music (a hefty percentage of which, just like American pop music, is crap), eat sushi or soba every chance they get, and they would never, ever get caught watching an American cartoon.
…Because, clearly, all American cartoons are shallow crap, made only for the enjoyment of children. None of them could ever reach the brilliance achieved by shows such as Neon Hassei Ebangerion. That's why you can't call anime "cartoons."
Are you starting to get a good image of why otaku are a blight on animation fandom? (If not, then perhaps you are an otaku yourself…) Their one-track mind and insistence of Japanese superiority at everything precludes an obnoxious and invitingly stranglable personality. And this is only scratching the surface of the otaku legion (not that there's much depth to them in the first place).
OTAKU = BAD.
