Get the Otay mug.William Gibson, one of the originators of the 'cyberpunk' science fiction genre, used the term "otaku" in his 1996 novel "Idoru". The meaning given, from a Japanese-translation computer function used by a character, was 'pathological techno-fetishist with social deficit'. The character so described spent much of his time online in a multi-user domain and subsisted on Ramen-type noodles and canned coffee. Although by Japan's rigorous social standards a "loser", the character was well-mannered and good-hearted.
"The otaku guys at my last school were into, like, plastic anime babes, military simulations, and trivia. Bigtime into trivia." -"Idoru", William Gibson

Get the otay mug.The Japanese word "Otaku" is the meaning of a nerd. Later on, people such as the anime fandom use the term for people who watch anime. The reason why they put otaku as a anime lover because back in the days, people use to make fun of people who watch anime and call them "weeaboo" but then they called them selves "Otaku" so that they can hide the shame of being a weeb.
