A new article in RocketNews24 caught my eye as the word otaku was quite prominent. Then I read further and it occurred to me that I know a lot of fanboys who are too devoted to their hobby (in this case, kaiju fandom) to even bother with finding a mate. The article can apply to them.
According to the article:
Over the years, the term “otaku” has, as well as being accepted into the English language, come to mean not just computer or anime fanatics locked away in their bedrooms, but any person who shows above-average fondness for any given hobby or pastime.

You’d better believe you’re an otaku.
