Your Definition
In Japan, the term OTAKU is normally deragatory, meant as an insult. It [basically] means 'lifeless loser who never leaves their house'. In America and Canada, though, it is used to refer to anime/manga fans and sometimes video gamers. It is used to refer to somebody as a geek, opposed to a loser, and is not a deragatory meaning. So it is [important] that if you [go to Japan] that you do not use the word without clearly stating what you mean.
