So far

Just b/c it hasn't happened yet elsewhere, doesn't mean it can't.

Otaku culture is a prime example of where it can indeed be called addiction..

I divorced my virtual wife

Many times

same with a few men marrying their body pillows

@KH-Queen Steph could probably vouch that fact maybe?

If certain behaviors progress, there are potential issues.

Yes

I can vouch

It can be very ba

very bad

yeah but so far it only happened in japan not in the west

Tldr don't be an otaku

Be a good

be a god?

okay!

I am a good otaku

No

Connah pls LMFAO

Be a good

For Otakus, sure

That doesn't dismiss any other underlying issues, though.

Yeah but we have some clowns here in the west who think being an otaku means they’re an elite nerd... because anime that is made by otakus romanize the otaku culture

Steph can probably also vouch that too

I went to one of the biggest Cons in Japan with my friends and....I can seriously say that almost half of the otakus there were...........................interesting.....

Yup

Man... I hope I NEVER go to prison.. because I have a bar of soap and I literally drop it every single day!..

Otaku culture is very frowned upon in Japan

Gonna have to goodle this one again

^

Very frowned upon

That's why Otakus hide it
