I think a dude was just trying to hit on me in an MMO.

I missed it entirely because I was off doing chores, but if the chatlog was right then he was trying to do it for quite a while. And the entire time I was marked as AFK.

I posted my thing on Reddit, waited overnight, here's the results:

I mostly just find the rounding error funny.

Rounding down? That is an interesting error.

Heh. Heeeeh.

Apparently my school has an Otaku club, so yeah... That's weird. Not anime, but Otaku.

Friggin weeaboos. The English word for "otaku" is "weeaboo", no reason to use the Japanese one.

[Furtuka]

But that's not what Otaku atually means in Japan? It doesn't refer to just an anime fan. Its meaning over there is more like creepy jobless basement dweller who happens to be obsessed with nerdy stuff. Which is amusing since the anime fandom in the West didn't really get the memo about how stigmatized the term is, and thinks it just means anime fan.

It helps distinguishing between the people who have an actual clue about the culture they're fanpersoning about, and those who just commit cultural appropriation for the halibut.

...halibut?

For the hell of it.

Puns, do you understand them?

[KingofstarrySkies]

For the-Oh.

Yes. That.

The worst part is one of them is in my bio class. My teacher was announcing the club, and didn't know what it was called, so she jumped up at the back and said Otaku! Otaku! In a really high pitched annoying voice.

"You do know that 'otaku' is Japanese for 'basement-dwelling, jobless neckbeard', right?" is the response you should keep in mind for the next time.

If anything it will embrarass them in front of everybody else.

What about people who like self-deprecating humor?

Or they'd give you some spiel about reclaiming words.
