Otaku's are usually socially ostracized by people who know nothing about the fan base that they come from. Generally speaking it's like high school clicks. The second an otaku or anyone that likes anime tries to drum up a conversation about anime to the commonplace person they are usually confused or overwhelmed. Then they proceed to ask "what are you talking about?" or make the comment of "Nerd." And look at you in an odd fashion for the rest of the semester of the class. In other words many otaku's hide their anime knowledge to seem "normal" in the workplace, the only way my co workers know I even like the genre is because I carry around a copy of Hetalia issue 1 in my bag and am caught reading it on my lunch break or at school when I should be studying. (Sorry about the needless banter )
