The kind of people I see with a fascination of anime girls are exactly the kind of people I expect to have one. It is creepy, and everyone thinks you are creepy.

“Kind of people?” Do you mean Japanese?

Hate to burst your bubble, but they’re considered creepy in Japan, too.

Aye, a basement dwelling nerd is a basement dwelling nerd regardless of where they are located on the planet, and are looked upon the same way. Otaku are no exception.

Otaku refers to men who prefer computers, games, anime, manga over forming real relationships. It includes obsession with cartoon or fictional girls, but includes more antisocial obsessions than anime girls.

Anime features prominently in Japanese and other Asian cultures. Nothing wrong with that, but not healthy (or creepy, if you prefer) to fixate on fictional females rather than forming relationships with real people.

The problem lies in the behavior of the anime consumer, in other words.

Not a fan myself. I live in Asia and see these characters, and the anime style, everywhere. It strikes me as juvenile and sometimes fun in a marketing context. Would strike me as creepy if someone told me they were in love with an anime girl.
