A Japanese word, basically the equivalent of 'loser'.
Many Western anime/manga fans use it as a positive term for themselves, even though it is in fact negative.
However, there are people who know its correct use but are proud of being one anyway; just as some people are proud to call themselves 'losers'.

Otaku is a person (typically male) who has absolutely no social life. Thus an otaku may sits around playing World of Warcraft, trading Dungeons and Dragons cards, watching Japanese animations, and jerking off while relishing pornographic material when he is alone. An otaku will be proud of, and will boast about his mighty forearm that developed over the many years of "over-masturbation".
Whilst leading a life of this sort, an Otaku will complain that no girls are willing to give him pussy.
WHYYYYY?????????????? Strange isn't it?

"Fuck, that otaku left cum stains on my sailor moon comic book!!"
"That guy's such an otaku. He plays WoW all day long and goes for a wank before sleeping."
