御宅族教主的迷思 3－霸道之终焉
「御宅族」自「电车男」成功后便浮上水面，一时成为潮流用语，但我必须重申，我没意把什么人定义为「御宅族」，要当「御宅族」是阁下的自由。 如果认为简简单单喜爱动画的人就等于「御宅族」的话大可跳过这个不看，但如果阁下认为冈田斗司夫的定义才算是「御宅族」，那么各位有想过当中的含意或者要跟着做吗？
「御宅族」在日本动画同好中一个近乎梦幻的职业，有着顶尖能力的新人类，有高超的搜寻能力和解读能力，如果潜力发挥理应受着世人歌颂，但事实上外界却对这个「梦幻职业」就有不少负面批评，不事生产不擅交际是小事了，但甚至一些诸如茧居族，隠闭青年，色情狂，甚至如身裁等等无关痛痒的批评也加入去了？身为动画同好是否会愤愤不平？那又为什么呢？
警告：
此文为笔者个人意见，内容对现在主流御宅族有针对批评。如有不敬之处，请各位原谅。
宿命使然，后天的死穴
因为御宅族的宿命注定是在研究别人的作品，而不是产出作品。
他们要的工作是要解读动画，要是没有了「动画」这个前题，他们评不了。「御宅族」的工作是要释破了其中所有符号后，来个地毯式的历史评论，然后以此为正统，希望人们用这个「正统」来欣赏这部大作，其他的角度皆为「匪伪」。要是创作人稍为「离经背道」，就像初出「机动武斗伝时」时便大加鞭挞，因为作品不是UC GUNDAM，不用米加粒子，更没有了新类型人等设定，他们不容许超出他们知识守备范围外的作品。简言之，他们是在为把动画当作一门学科来研究。
其实为研究而研究本身并不是问题，但把这些做这些研究人做的伪科学「神格化」却是个大问题。
在动画中考据的理论，很多时也只是伪科学，例如在马沙之逆袭中阿宝在剧完前推回阿古哲斯，0083中的所罗门核爆，钢之錬金术士的錬金理论也只是一堆「设定」，可能只是想在画面易于耍师而夸大，而莫视现实，当中最经典的莫过于超人力霸王（咸蛋超人）的混混设定吧，拿来说说笑还可，人创作出的东西有BUGS，并不出奇，设定有，剧情一样可以有，何况设计的只是动画家不是科学家，像柳田理科雄的「空想科学教室」来「博君一笑」还可，实不用出动「脑内补完」，想出一些连官方也没有的伪似解释那些BUGS来互相攻伐，上述娱乐而己，实在不必认真。
其实细心玩味，冈田「御宅族」定义，并不是什么开天劈地的见解，更不是「御宅族」独有，只是单纯的研究方法学，其中以eliein小姐讲的最一矢中的：「只不过是不同于一般人将娱乐仅仅作为娱乐，反将娱乐视为一种命题来做研究的族群」」冈田的「御宅族」定义其实是在形容那些会利用「论点，论証，论据」三段式的研究来看动画的人：
在动画中找到喜好的东西(尤其是SF的资料），确立了论点＞
有了论点，然后找相关资料来考据的论証＞
再产出其他产物如评论等的论据等証实知己的见解正确＞
这个不就是「写评论」的应有格式嘛？这只是一个要做研究的人「应该有」的素质。大缔冈田提出这些理论，是用来偶像化动画迷中的菁英，把他们「神格化」和「新类型人化」来抗衡当时宫崎事件对「御宅族」负面影响，情形就像当年的十字军东征，教廷宣称犯事的都不是天主教徒，是那些伪教徒一样来平息众怒一样。
「御宅族」只是「一班将娱乐视为一种命题来做研究的族群」，没错，他们正正视娱乐为一种命题来做研究的族群，不是高高在上的教主。事实上，冈田式的「御宅族」正是这样的产物。
把娱乐当成单纯的娱乐，或者把娱乐拿来研究当成另一种乐趣没有什么不对，可惜不少祟尚冈田式「御宅族」的动画迷只看到表像，够格的固然被冠称为「御宅族」，不够格的也一律自称为「御宅族」，因为够「神」，甚至乎蔚为时尚，「够格的」当然没有什么问题，问题是那些「不够格的」。
考証成癖，动画创造的末路
这里「不够格」是指想做到冈田式「御宅族」郤苦没「入手知识」解构动画的这派人。看动画发觉自身资料不够便去找，乃人之常情，因先天的不足苦无解读方法，于是「龟」在电视前研究动画成了指定动作，重看又重看，人人也公平得二十四小时，结果是可以分配到出外结交朋友，运动，认识时事的时间少之又少，导致日常的应对技巧，运动能力，对世界和服饰的认知也比外界严重缺乏，「御宅族」常说这些批评是外界人对他们的误解，倒不如说是这种研究方式结果使然。
其实包括冈田自己，他本身不是为「宅」而「宅」，而是动画这个媒体造就了他们，他们在「制造」动画，这才是冈田那伙被称为「神人」的真像。
就在动画未进一步普及之前，他们己累积了大量的知识，冈田，庵野自己也是SF和电影迷，而永野读服装设计，他们把自己的知识和意念带到动画中，把动画的可塑性和玩味性进一步提高，冈田有SF知识，于是发表了《皇立宇宙军》；庵野熟悉用镜方法，于是有了后期的《EVA》，永野读服装设计，于是有了后期的《五星物语》的唯美机械和人物设计。上述人物的知识是来自其他领域，并不是单纯地只有动画给与的。
对于其他有同类嗜好的动画迷，在玩味研究他们的作品时，一早有这方面的知识，然后再找论证分析，再有论据来支持，这样自有另一番乐趣。他们一开始用的已经不是一个动画角度，而是一个更高层次，例如从社会学，历史，物理或生物的高度，再以多重角度的来研究作品，看出来的，评出来的也会平衡很多，最重要的是那些资料能够刺激思考，带看倌进入另一层次，另一个世界。
上述达人的眼界绝不只限动画一处，甚至在更远的地方，但现在的御宅族做的郤恰恰相反。
「不够格」的「御宅族」经过长间找寻训练的结果，便是比外界用更多时间来看动画，最后「进化」到只会从动画一方面来吸取养份，也只懂得从动画一个媒界看世界，迫于无奈远离其他媒体。 生产商也看准了这一点，「宅向」动画便应运而生。好听一点是向前作致敬，不好听的就是照抄前作动画桥段，无他，因为只有这些，「目标观众」才会明白。
为了协助这些「御宅族」做「考証」，一大票近乎骗钱的精品便成为了「御宅族」的至爱，加上一堆又一堆的设定集，冈田「有着高度搜寻参考资料能力的人」这个有钱的便做到了；「对映像创作者所提示的暗号，一个也不漏的加以解读与研究」在一堆又一堆官方设定集和网上论坛上的协助「用时间」又做到了；最后只要「加些少时间copy and paste」写一篇不用花什么「心思分析」的史料来表达「永不满足的向上心和自我表现欲」又做到了，捞过「御宅族」教主封号也绝不是什么难事，于是动画桥段用来用去，为的就是来满足这班人，动画创作最后无奈沦为地狱式轮回，成为了小众的娱乐。
你能想像由以上「永不满足的向上心和自我表现欲」的「御宅族」做出来的动画会是什么样子吗？
众叛亲离，霸道之终焉
只有「御宅族」才会明的东西，就像其他的次文化一样，失去了普编性就上不了台面。
「御宅族」标签著自己，也给人标签著。够格成为冈田式「御宅族」的人，绝不甘于只当一个「御宅族」。其一，前述冈田讲的只是一套「分析常识」，不是「御宅族」独有，硬塞这套理论来神化「御宅族」，更把所有专业人仕套入「御宅族」之中，来壮大当时满身伤痕的「御宅族」，「够格」的实在不甘被利用；第二，如果指的是一般动画迷等于「御宅族」，也嫌只顾看动画实在局限了自己众多的兴趣，他们「用情不专」也使他们被排挤在「御宅族」之外。
对于其他有着不同意见的「御宅族」也是互相攻伐，互骂匪伪，不留情面。0079中的马沙，在官方的设定是一位一流的机师，但其中一派「御宅」从动画画面中引设他只曾用一加红蟹击倒吉姆而己，甚至从所谓的历史中推翻了官方的设定，当然可能是官方设定时的BUGS，但正统的保皇派和倒皇派便立刻认真起来互想攻伐。但真的要数的还有随后的UC派的正统派，AC的匪伪派，新的SEED派等等，甚至真实军事派和超机人派也有，为那些人设的设定当史料般骂得死去活来，骂对方不懂GUNDAM。其实只有富野和BANDAI一声说「是」，各方也奈不了何吧。
动画是一种创作，创作人可以从中把特定的讯息带给观众，但观众郤未必一定要跟从创作人的意思来看，可以从不同的角度切入。「御宅族」提供的只是众多诠释角度的其中一个，而不是唯一，反过来亦不可能把对方打成为匪伪，为什么硬要别人接受呢？
对于非「御宅族」的「外界」批评和攻击，「御宅族」采取的又是鸵鸟政策，使自己进一步被边缘化。宫崎事件，甚至有害图书追放事件，外界对动画迷一直存在误解也并非一朝一夕的事：「御宅族」有着「不事生产，只会看动画不理世事，「咸湿」又运动性能低下又脱节的傻家伙」的评语，对着这些指摘，我也认为以偏盖全，但一开始防御守势，连消带打只用「打压」这两个字便否定了对方的批评，然后在各大讨论区诉苦，而不好好反省自己现在为什么有这个「口实」给人，也是智者的所为吗？还是是一样「以偏盖全」吧。
批评的一方可能别有用心，但给与对方口实，自己也是时候「进化」了。
如果认为宫崎骏的动画，是希望人们珍惜自然，有环保的意识，那么阁下应该做的是多去郊外多做环境保护的工作，而并不是坐在家中考据那些作画水准，但「御宅族」关心往往是后者。
就在下所见，现在真的不少作品和同人志存在这些过份色情和暴力的情节，所谓的过份只是不必要罢了，情节必要的，无所谓，来个廿一禁吧，我也是动画迷才不会迂腐到叫政府管，只希望「御宅族」也要有作为社会一份子的自觉，不要给「御宅族」就等同色情的感觉，事实只要我们一离开电视，还得面对各下所谓的残酷真实世界，一副是不关己，己不劳心的咀脸，在这个世界只会给人膲不起。
慢著，上述所说的好像是把冈田式的「御宅族」和一般动画迷的「御宅族」沟乱了？是的，无错，我是蓄意的。
「御宅族」这个名字由出现到现在还不到三四十年，当中褒贬意思还未定形，这个字的用法一直在变。要令到「御宅族」这个名字有正面的一日，徒在动画迷之间争这个未定胜的名衔有什么意思？请做一些被外间也认同的事，有意义的事；也请在被批判之时有寛容之心，走到群众面前理性地解释阁下的嗜好，「御宅族」迷动画，和车迷，歌迷和戏迷，小说一样，为什么偏偏现在只会给人看扁？请各位好好想下好自为之，否则「御宅族」最终只会像末路的霸王，死于内忧外患之中。

不认同的，怎也不会认同，当然也没什么好说
「如果认为宫崎骏的动画，是希望人们珍惜自然，有环保的意识，那么阁下应该做的是多去郊外多做环境保护的工作，而并不是坐在家中考据那些作画水准，但「御宅族」关心往往是后者。」
这句非常认同
ACG对现时「御宅族」来说只是为保完ACG本身而存在，就是因为这样才会出现误解和予盾，如果「御宅族」能够把ACG所体会到的放回自己身上，情况可能会好唔同
就我个人来说，漫画是我的老师，记得中三的时候因看了「冬物语」的感动而努力读书，CLAMP的「REX恐龙物语」令我知道人生为何，台湾的傻呼噜同盟的一句格言「因动漫而伟大」我很能体会，自己就是因为ACG才明白很多做人处世的道理（并非学校和家庭），能够表现出个人品德修飬是因ACG而来，ACG才能洗掉「教坏细路」，才能令世人专重，「御宅族」不是应该为推广ACG的社会认受性而存在吗？相反，就是因为ACG的接受面–「御宅族」现在的糢样，才会令ACG受世人误解吧吧！
很好的文章[emot]good[/emot]

好文[emot]good[/emot]
Otakus can be treated as Advanced Generations resemble that in Pocket Monster AG. In universities, many otakus are found in fields of cultural studies and sociology, since these subjects provides otakus with a myriad of analytical tools, such as the cocepts of ID, EGO and SUPEREGO.
By the way, for otakus, the etymology of "OJA" in an Anime, Ojamajo Doremi (1999-2004) is worth studying.
sorry, since I have repeated my post due to too quick an entering step.
If we allow derivatives of the definitions of otakus into a new set of ideology, proposing a concept of otakuism to reverse the derogatory trend against otakus maybe a good practice. In order to do so, we need to:
1. classify the samples of otakus seriously;
2. study the flows of otakus;
3. eliminate fuzzy interjections towards otakus, such as deleting the domain of "hermit teens" from the definitions of otakus to avoid the wanton association of ignorant social workers.
4. more academic researches (publishing textbooks teaching ignorant guys of inspecting and investigating the context and philosophy of otakus and anime maybe neccessary, regardless its formalness;
5. Comparision between anime and reality.
eg: otakus VS 女王的教室
“事实只要我们一离开电视，还得面对各下所谓的残酷真实世界，一副是不关己，己不劳心的咀脸，在这个世界只会给人膲不起。”
确实，两个世界的相互依存才是真正的世界。
“只有「御宅族」才会明的东西，就像其他的次文化一样，失去了普编性就上不了台面。”
文化这东西，是应该相互尊敬的，相互理解的，“次文化”的说法本人有点不赞同。
Here I want to supplement a point regarding "otakus VS 女王的教室":
In 女王的教室, Ms. Maya (亚久津真矢), loosly speaking (i.e. take the domain of otakusim beyond anime) is a female otakus because she is feverish in education, having a sense of achievement and, the most important of all, spirit of study (研究精神). However, her GTO-like act is somehow bizzare and hard to understand, i.e. she has complex ideologies.
In summary, allow me to redefine otaku: Any specialist who have the spirit of study. To incorporate with confusiainism (so as to prevent MK bitches or/and bastards from calling themselves otakus and act wantonly), the spirit of introspection should also be introduced. In fact, I will be a freshmam sociologist so I will behave like Okada Toisho to teach others revolutionary otakuism with certain degree of cyanism.
Footnotes:
[b]1. [/b]
In 2007 HKASL E Section B #2 today, these is a question like this:
[u]Last year, you took part in an overseas cultural exchange programme. One objective of the programme was to introduce some characteristics of your own culture to students from other countries. Another objective was to learn how practice in other culture differ significantly from yours. You found this experience rewarding and you want to share what you learned with your fellow students.
Write an article for your school magazine describing one or two features of your culture that you focused on and explain why. Also describe how the feature(s) you choose differ(s) from what happens in other culture.[/u]
I choose to contrast Japanese otakuism (using the definition I have produced) with Chinese confucianism, followed by otaku stereotypes with the issues of ijimes and wanton overgeneralization. Is these any problem in writing such?
[b]2. [/b]
Yes. PC is a good rule to rectify bad ideologies. Associating otakuism with professionalism is good so that there exist more mode of profession, i.e. studying animes can now be treated as another respectful "job".
In terms of gender studies, males prefer materialistic collections while females prefer human-relationship hegemony. (Moe) Otakus manifests this difference, as many of their ordinary counterpart females are pursuing maturity (eg: MK港女潮流文化. This make moe otakus a little bit childish. To what extent do you indentify with this?
Note: You haven't reply the message below yet =.=
看看那些 moe otakus, 还不是买一大堆FIGURE,海报,电脑游戏, 虽满口都是什么「纯爱」,但那也只有单向而己, 所谓的互动都十居其九在[b]可预期,可控制[/b]的范围之内, 这等同小朋友玩超合金,手中的超合金永远是最强, 飞天遁地无所不晓, 直至另一新欢出现为止…..
That means, in terms of sociology, moe otakus are fond of [b]McDonloadization[/b] (measurable, controllable[b] predicable[/b]) with respect to consumption. They have strong sense of materalistic (binary) possession but lack initiatives in real world. The contrary happens to okadaian otakus, me too. Okadaian otaku (i.e. otakus who follow the style of okada toisho) are making every endeavor to improve their plightful situations of being discriminated, either by means of teitary anime production or theorization (i.e. making critics), which needs information-orientated initiatives I believe that you are with my line as okaadaian otakus too. AS to females, Human-relationship hegemony pinpoints their love-capitalisitc privatization of human capitals, which resemble the behaviour of 港女 (i.e. vain, picky, greedy). What okadaian otakus needs to do is contributing to frontier social science apart from their studies on anime issues (issue = liberal studies) and have some influence toward the ignorant, autrhority-resorting general public. What do you think?
Further reading from Format ACG:
[b]为何日本人害怕OTAKU？御宅族的日本悲剧[/b]
http://format-acg.org/anime/TOPIC-ANIME/otaku.html
In my UE Section B script I referred 单一价值观 (monotonic set of values) and 群体排他性 (ijime) to explain why otakus in Japan are discriminated while otakus in Hong Kong are overgeneralized by associative-thinking (关联式思考). 宫崎事件 is also cited.
First of all, thank you for your advice as to the nomenclature of otakus. Here is some supplementary points:
First, I call myself as a otaku by its loose definition – mania. Actually, I am regared as a game otaku only who has been writing 100 pages strategy thesis (as a project without cheat codes) on simcity in 冯汉柱资优教育中心 (although my IQ = 135 amd EQ=80 by rigorous governement psychologist checking during my P6 life, many counterpart in the centre (which is in Tsuen Wan, now being a HKEAA scanning and marking centre) has IQ and EQ > 140)Then, I realise that the etymology of otaku is rather dark, and there needs some revolutionist to reverse the bleak trend of otakuism, so I start calling myself as (pseudo) okadaian otaku (假借冈田之名,却行全新社会阶级之意) since F.5 writing theory about society (so you may call me a social science otaku, I don't mind since, true, the definition and the stertotype of scholars is different from japanese otaku,) Currently I am interested in gender difference, and find this subtle dynamic relationship appliable in discoursing anime. Also, I realize that the general public has wrongful stereotype towards anime, and there need a academic way to instill correct and positive (political correct) frontier concepts to them. So I resolved to be a liberal studies teacher and set my career as HKEAA subject master.
I understand the reason why you hate being classified as otaku – owing to its bad stereotype and the timid attitude toward trinary world (三次元世界), and what okada toisho has said is merely a rosy wishful thinking and neoliberal elitism (sort of eugenics). In fact, okada is but a cast in anime production. He even don't have the title of master in sociology, so he lack authority (general public like resorting to authority) and academic influence. Many studies in otaku tend to be infotainment instead of classic interpertation of textbooks. In fact, [b] academizing otakuism is the only way to overturn pundit's criticism and discrimination against decent otakus [/b] To what so-called "otaku" watching H (ecchi) things, let them stoop and die, but other okadaian otaku need to criticize and even exclude them (degrade them to moe class, not debase them). I truely believe that the reason why otakus are currently discriminated is NOT only due to ethnicity, but also the 苟且偷安, nonconfronting attitude toward everything. No wonder some feminist call their name as hikikimori!
举个例，假设你见到一个中年胖男子，用「恋爱中」的眼神把玩着一个少女模型，正当他玩得开心，你这时偷喵他，你会觉得他有何反应？
１．唔理你继续光明正大地玩，
２．还是缩都缩唔切呢？
The answer is both. In fact, to further assess whether choice 2 is valid, ask him why. An okadaian otaku (albeit carrying some moe characters) should explain, refute, introduce and/or rationalize his behaviour with cynical mood and without difficulty. If not, he is only a mediocre.
What is the difference between 动画迷 and otakus? 动画迷 (anime fans) are enjoying anime, while otakus, according to my definition, bear more tough tasks. They need to contribute to everything like the contributers in wikipedia. Moreover, otaku is a sort of profession with a difference. [b]Currently original otakus are classified as cast in anime production writing critics, while neglecting the acadmic ones, i.e. teachers who specialize in anime writng textbooks.[/b] So, as a otaku, I need to adapt to the transient society by adpoting different approach to study. Here comes some style in my writing. Issue-inquiring approach in liberal studiesfor project learning, and problem-solving approach in secondary school pure science reference book, are methods of analysis that most of the otakus are never used. Also, I have reinvented further method of analysis which can be applied to all fields of studies: Konoacoustic analysis (relating sound to biophysics), Ojalytics (using the concept of Hentaicity, i.e. extent of preference changes to explain the ideology flow), Script Programming (annotations), Doremotional Aanysis (classification of flow and concepts), Technical Aanlysis (a method of packaging new theory), critical analysis (临界分析, for textual analysis), and Integrated analysis (a method of compiling textbooks). So you may say that I call myself as otakus because of career ambition, not due to fonding of animes. To me, anime is only second to my theory.
In sum, otakus need to be:
1. original (plagiarism kills creativity) (same as your article)
2. introspective (confucianism, meaning willingness to improve) (diferent name but in meaning, same as your article)
3. wise )[b]they need not to be elites, have enough IQ to sell their points[/b[) (they need to be distinguished)
4. spiritual in study (as a driving force for their hobby) (same as your article)
5. academically versatile while caring about society (different from your article) (in my definition otakus are bound to be sociologist, pyschologist, journalist and teachers)
6. sensitive to risk (different from your article, since otakus nowadays need to be decent)
7. impartial (since their critics need to be seamless without any partiality/ one-sidedness)
8. skillful (have their own strategies of organizational behaviours)
9. communicative (derived from okada's theory) (In my theory called aikolistatics, otakus are compete ispectors with reducible transitional surplus, i.e. they need to be omniphies interesting in everying as ordinary girls, trying to be deliberate, caring and emotional)
10. observant (scientific thinking)
11. Willing to do research and development
12. bearing virginity (童真) (i.e. they should be [b]resistive to hegeomony and hypocrisy[/b] from partiality and pundits)
Pure amd simple, my existence is to turn otakuism as transdiscipline studies, and reform the teacher by creating my thoery, OJA STUDIES. You can assess the syllabuse outline in my blog (Note both syllabuse A and B). (Am I rebellious enough?)
Now the otakuism is differentiated and biased. Once otakuism are prevalent in secondary school social science (arts stream) textbooks, the positive otakuism can be integrated. I believe the time will come some day.
a typo in my message below:
ispectors ==> i[b]n[/b]spectors
By the way, in mathematic worlds and even social science, anaylsis is going to replace synthesis. Analysis (eg: classification) is men's strength while synthesis (eg: gossips) is women's strenght. Synthesis in reality involve partiality while analysis requires objectiveness. So, as a corollary, otakus being discriminated is as a result of feminism and love-capitalism in which women who are aggressive have teen making every endeavor, including deploying pan-moral pundits, to maintain their monotonic set of values to facilitate their oligrachy of human-relationships by [b]gossips[/b].[b] The reason behind is the lack of communication between otakus and the ordinary girls.[/b] Moe otakus currently lack anaylsis so they cannot overcome discrimination against them. For some okadaian otakus including me, some cues about current otakuism has been found:
1. [b]Rigorous proof of otakus is not formulated yet[/b];
2. It is hard to serve an egoistic female;
3. Moe otakus is inter sexaully interdependent while women are intersexually independent, since many of them are not willing to be married while maintaining the friendly relatinship among the same sex;
4. Unlike Americans who respect indivualism, The general public ignore otakus' specific needs and thoughs. i.e. there exist strict moral controls as to how otakus are behaved;
5. Following-suit and resorting to authority is aikolidynamically feasible, i.e. saving transaction cost (in terms of economics), in asian countries, since they treat an individual as a member of families; (refer to family of straight lines in locus problems XD)
6. Japanese anime mainly consists of gundam series and magic girl series; however, japaneses like to teast male audiece who like magic girl series because they treat famales as as an inferior class. Therefore, moe otakus are bound to be discriminated;
7. Japanese pundits are "mobilizing(修理)" moe otakus only;
8. The foci of interest between otakus and girls are different (okadaian otakus need diginity, moe otakus need sex, girls need pragmatic interest from relationships);
9. japanese like doujin things rather than original though, unless you have enough identity in social stratra.
In fact, the loose classfication ot otakus is many, like the one attacted in 网址 in the title of my name.
True, like genius, otakus are being called rather than calling themselves. But before this is valid to be happened the definition of otakus must be settled. Since not settled yet, so sayings 咦？上述的中年胖男子，那会是OTAKU呀？can still be treated as an issue rather than a ironic fact.
a typo again:
indivualism==> indvidualism
Here I invented a proof of otaku:
1. If he is a mania, he is NOT an otaku unless he has a mibition apart from interesting in animes
2. If he is ambitious, he is NOT an otaku unless he has spirit of introspection
3. If he is introspective, he is NOT an otaku if he is a hypocrite;
3. If he is NOT hypocrtical, he is a otaku iff he is observant and have spirit of study.
So, NOT all teachers are otakus under the loose definition, especially when they are pundits who treat otauk=kidult. ALL girls who like gossips are hypocrites even if she likes BL and Welcome to NHK!. ALL moe otakus who lose egos in the pursue of binary love is no longer callec otaku (they are mere perverted anime fans) NOT all 创作系 otakus are true otakus if they are money-orientated (=hypocrisy), NOT all 情报系 otaku are true otakus if they don't know the mechanic of speaking (i.e. introspection) so that they make the general public misinterpret them; NOT all 消费系 otakus are true otakus if they only know how to satisfy their wants (i.e. lack introspection); NOT all 变装系 otakus are true otakus if they treat cosplay as a means of human-relationship hegemony (i.e. hypocrisy).
> 现在事实就是otaku的定义各门各派都有极大差异, 如果数现在似乎「一般消费派」更压倒地多喔,恕我悲观, 现在OTAKU这个字已等同一般动画狂迷, 要讲正面, 除非你不是「otaku」
Oh I see, so alternative to being otakus, I can be a sociologist who bear more authoritarian power. Okada Toisho is NOT a sociology, although there exist some Japanese sociologist who support his theory. I am sure, when I gain fame in academic field, I must rewrite the definite meaning of otakuism. This can be done simply by applying the theory of stratarification in sociology and field theory to say that otakus are new social class in social stratum(阶级). Then under the principle of communism otakus are ideologists. The author of a book, 老鼠咬大米, has even treat confucious as a otaku because not only he is "spiritual", but be has his own style. Actually, we may reinvent the image of otakus as stylistologists.
> 至于otaku怎样可以和外界沟通, 三个字 「 OPEN THE DOOR」~当发觉得动画不是唯一,那就有得搞了
Yes. I am doing in this way, as animation is second to my career ambition. Otakus nowadays need to read through their egos, relatives and even the mass media as their mirrors. My schoo's whole computer club member as IT otakus always read BBC, CNN, mingpao, Hong Kong Economics Time (English Street), Singtao daily and Appledaily. I seldom play games or watch comics/animes due to academic pressure, but CL&C, liberal studies and sociology really inspired me as to how otakus can be evolved. Ancient otakus are insensitive to current issues and only interested to anime, but now their apathic attitude must change or they will be supercede by pan-moral punits who discriminate them and even love-capitalised feminist who wants infinits human relationship hegemony. According to my reading habits, there are some books and magazines otakus must read:
1. Time magazine and Time Express
2. The Economist
3. Newsweek
4. Fortune
5. 明报月刊
6. 香港文学
7. 亚洲周刊
8. 龙应台 and 陶杰 's book
9. Books about confucianism (唯女子与小人难养也 XD), cultural studies (inc. 吴伟明), psychologist (who often treat otakus as EASY (思觉失调)), sociology (the social worker of which ofte tread otakus as hikikomori, NEETS and DINKS)
I wanna add my view into wikipedia otakus page but ignorant western manias deleted them and allege them as oroginal research. The ban of original research is indeed a stupid policy who block diversity of otakuism. In fact, the westerns wanna hegemonize their view as copyright hegemony. Current otakus need to breakthough this barrier by BT even more XD……
An typo:
infinits==> infinite
I am going to wrire a textbooks about otakuism and incorporate them in anime discourses. What to you think of the following draft of introduction?:
In OJA STUDIES Technical Analysis is to package a theory. Here various doremotions in the Anime system is discoursed using the framework of Technical Analysis. Similar to the study in Finances, analysis in anime can be classified as fundamental one or technical one, which bears different expository functions. Technical Analysis is incorporated with various methodologies of analysis in and beyond OJA STUDIES.
Anime is a popular term in the cultural studies. Its existence has been an entertainment, and its history is once an economic boosting spring in Japan. However, due to lack of academizaton of Anime system, the general public take playful attitude toward animes, which is different form what otakus, a new social stratum thinks. Otakus are hardcore in Anime System and they have more or less influence to the whole anime ecosystem. The anime culture is quite complex in Japan, and it sometimes involve ecchi and violent contents, Due to the selective taste of otakus toward these things, otakus in Japan are being discriminated. Apart from this, early Japanese anime system mainly consists of and developed from magic girls series and Gundum series, recently kuso series and gal series (which contain lolita, service, moe characters, etc) are also added due to the existence of otakus since late 1970s, the booming stage of Japanese Economy. The introspective trend in the aftermath of 90s Japanese economic downturn has forced the whole anime to evolve. The Otaking, Okada Toisho, and its anime production, EVA, in 1996, has revolutionize the whole anime system from S.F-kei to moe-kei. All in all, the phenomena in Japanese animation system influence other similar systems including Hong Kong.
Think about it
1. Why do you like anime? Is it due to funny, entertaining elements, or your own career ambition?
2. What is your opinion about theorizing ACG (Anime-Comic-Game) System?
3. What is otakuism? Is it worth studying in sociology or even in the interdisciplinary fields?
4. Are you afraid of taking animes in public? Why or why not? Is hegemony involved in that?
5. How to you collect your anime accessories? Is there a systematic way to organize them?
What do you think about the following theory?
浅谈「日本动画三波革命说」
shadowzo.mysinablog.com/index.php?op=ViewArticle&articleId=530868
About 「论点，论証，论据」三段式:
Although I am an okadaian otaku too, I don't use this method. Instead, I have my own method to operate on anime: 「分类，样本研究，流程分析，意识型态运用，议题探索」五层式. This method does not demand internal knowledges of animes such as its historical setting, but demand the interdiscipline association in that. First, classification of animes is actually an taxomony which can be treated as a real science which otakus can do. Second, sample analysis is not a statistical method but merely a textual analysis, the target of which is not to support one's stance (証实知己的见解正确) but for research and service to others, not mainly of otaku's own interest (在动画中找到喜好的东西). i.e. otakus, according to my theory of technical analysis (similar to finance), are acting a [b]communicative bridge[/b] to the outsider of anime. In the course of sample analysis the anime-reality relationship has to be discovered. Third, flow analysis deals with abstract concepts such as calculus and preference changes in microeconomics. i.e. By flow analysis scholar-degree knowledge has to be possessed by otaku. That' s why okada toisho call otakus has "有着顶尖能力的新人类，有高超的搜寻能力和解读能力" but he even do not have the skill (since he is NOT a versatile sociologist). Fourth, doremotional applications, or equivalently saying, ideological applications, explores (NOT argue) the possible ideologies appears in an animes such as feminism, lolicons, kuso and education. Thus, for my part, an ideal otaku is to write a objective-type graduation thesis rather than simply subjective critics. That's how academization of otakuism can be achieved. Finally, issue-inquiring approach in liberal studies is applied to otakus such that they must use their practical skiils/integrated analysis to handle reality problems associated with animes. Such training of though is enough to make otakus professional.
「不够格」的「御宅族」:
They are those who are always doing fundmental analysis of anime telling what scenic points an anime has. They simply have enough BT resources but privatized them, i.e. watch anime only to expand their own ego and thus they are but hypocrites. They are prone to consumption. This defy the definition of okadaia otaku. Sometimes they may be productive, but actually they are counter-productive because they lack framework of analysis. To me, if you do not intent to be a versatile scholar, GET LOST FROM THE OTAKU WORLD! A real otaku should be independent of watching anime and have their own style of view as the division of labour. Acutally they need not read all th e scenic points in order to make a subjective critics, instead they should try their best to grasp the leitmotiv of an animes and try to present their dor(sal)-emotions objectively like compiling a A-grade report.
[u]A study question:[/u]
Read the statement below:
如果认为宫崎骏的动画，是希望人们珍惜自然，有环保的意识，那么阁下应该做的是多去郊外多做环境保护的工作，而并不是坐在家中考据那些作画水准，但「御宅族」关心往往是后者。
What should be a okadaian do, either one or both?
[u]Answer:[/u]
Both. According to the pentalogy of analysis in my theory, the foruth rule, ideological applications should be done in action. An okadaian otaku should try to explain what enviourmental proection values does a movie "spirited away" has to the general public. According his own interest, he may explore as many scenic points in the movie as many as possible, BUT NEVER INTENT TO PRIVATISE THEM TO EMOTIVE AND PARTIAL OPINION. They should talk de-facto facts, not self-promotion. Otherwise, otakus may be despised.
Finally, there are some points to be amended:
1. 「永不满足的向上心和自我表现欲」 should be altered as "have a urge to achieve self-actualization"
2. 「有着高度搜寻参考资料能力的人」 should be "information-seeking greeds" instead of really doing researches and developments for 「不够格」
3. 「对映像创作者所提示的暗号，一个也不漏的加以解读与研究」 should be referred as "cheking the marking scheme of a pastpaper without really practised them" instead of "interpretation and derivation of ideologies " for 「不够格」
> 看友情动画感动，那就和朋友多点出来聚会，
看到我们这一家，我会花多点时间和屋企人一起，
看到宫崎大师的动画，我会想起珍惜自然，
看钢之炼金术师，我会想起人与人之间的平等，
Then you prefer associative thinking. No doubt, this is [b]fundermentalism.[/b] i.e. You perfer fundamental writing rather than technical writing. You afraid of technical writing becuse you afraid that otakus, if being so, will have no time to do another practical thing apart from studying animes. In fact, you are trapped by one pessimistic assumption: otakus doing studying in animes non-stop — it is virtually inpossible. First, Otakus may have their own decent career apart from animes, Second, otakus have another interests and they will try their best to strike a balance between them. I believe a true okadaian otaku is a pragmatist, i.e. they hide their true identity in advert time and possess normal identity in order to do other things.
如果是根据冈田的理论，讲的所谓「热情」，是OTAKU要解读动画的内容，而之后的是再把知识回馈到动画方面，之后OTAKU要做什么
Do their other duties, i.e. if they are student, continue with their study; if they are professionals, care about their jobs and family relationships.
如果跟据你的OTAKU理论，OTAKU真的会跑去研究和讨论，研究要几耐才叫透切? 天晓得但时间却花了，而我相信作者不是要这些，是要你付诸「行动」去做，当然骗钱作另计。
A balanced otakus will do research step-by-step, not non-stop. If I would type my otaku thesis without even sleeping, that would be a practical joke. As to the extent of research, otakus should bear a motto "I already try my best, I have no regret at all" and stop what should be stopped if no further development can be made anymore.
> [b]动画怎看也只是娱乐[/b]，动画中的情节，人物关系和技术，讲得如何高深，也难免是[b]伪科学[/b]的一种，唯一真实，是当中「带出的讯息」，OTAKU之所以被看轻，给人觉得不成熟，其中就是太过投入，[b]以为真的可以利用动画中的世界设定来看世界[/b]，投入到不能抽身影响了现在生活。
Dangerous! Your view may incur critcism from anime cast and otakus!
You are under a stereotype that "otaku only read from anime" which lead to misguiding conclusion. Acutally, people like okada toisho read a variety thing from reality adn their perspective in animes originate from perspectives in realty. As to Current domestic otakus viewing their own word by anime, don't be distracted – they are just the formula of writing a substandard , subjective critics of fundamental analysis, not really their attutides towards the world. If a scholar view their own world by only sociological figures, not only does their thesis written are rosy pictures but also impractical. [b]Otakus make reference to and with respect to reality. Without this step, they are not said to be 投入 but only 迷失. [/b]
By the way, [b]Animes is a visual art and visual liteature according to recent researches in liberal study. [/b]So your view "anime=entertainment" will becomes a outmoded stereotype. Never behave like girls who perfer overgeneralization by stereotypical thinking which bear partiality. A independent thinker – no only otakus – should be critical enough to look things in broad perspectives. Never trying to set limits to your thinkng mode otherwise your view will be partial. If art=entertainment, no one will care about its cultural implication so the form of art will be deminished by entertainment some day since cultural heritages are lost. [b]Mature [/b]otakus, or alternatively, geniune anime casts, are doing cultural heritages trying to discover and preserve as many cultural values as possible. You will understand this importance if you have chance to study cultural studies in university.
伪科学? Then you neglect a importance thing in scientific thinking, especially for maths: [b]deductive thinking.[/b] 「带出的讯息」is a form of intuitive thinking which is not the core component of science. Any science should involve deduction under given facts. They are referred as inference. The improvement of technology is the result of deduction. So you may say anime is not a [b]pure science[/b] (social science), but the study of which is by no means pseudo-sciece. If social sciences are even pseudo-sciences, the physiological foundation of psychology which has biological importance to medicine, will become invalid and this contradict the fact that physiology is a pure science.
Get it?
I have seen their articles since they are my netfriends.
Up to here, the theoretical discussion about "What is otakuism" "How is otakuism" are enough. Maybe let's talk about the practical side of "Why is otakuskm".
In reality otakus are being discriminated. The reason of which are summarized below:
1. Monotonic set of values
Having monotonic set of values save transaction cost according to the preference theory of microeconomics. Also, the general public like to resort to authority. So the authority, like the prestigious scholar, dominate the definitional ideologies of otakus. Since after 1989, the mass media including popular magazine, Newsweek and Time, take pessmistic view to otakus, otakus are debased to perverts. Actually, the monotonic set of values is a form of majority-play games. To overthrow it new generation of otakus needs to have multiple registers, i.e. they need to be frontier scholars to rewrite such ideologies.
2. Feminism.
Emotive Females have infinite wants of human-relationship hegemony. They tends to play distractive allusions to protect their own egos driving others wantonly. They are said to be highly emotive. They also have infinite wants of materials and powers as their egos expands. This leads to love-capitalism. The existence of such form of feminism is a form of "the survival of fitness", the ultimate aims of which is to weed out 和而不同 males including otakus to monopolize the ideologies. This is said to be oligarchy of human-relationship.
3. Overgeneralization.
Hikikomori and otakus are hard to distiguish and easily overgeneralized by the general public, especially in China and Japan where intuitive thinking are abused.
4. Inferior Groups.
Females are said to be inferior in Japan. Hence, otakus who wanna be females by means of cosplays are teased and excluded by others.
What is otakuism? It is a ideological studies of the relationship and phenomena between otakus and society – a frontier social science in sociology.
Back to the classification of otaku again, here is a practical problem as a testing ground of my new theory.
I like Rozen Maiden, Comet-san and Ojamajo Doremi. But I am NOT a moe otaku. Why?
The reason is easy. According to my theory of doremotion, inspectors who like dorakonic (i.e. non-emotional ) components such as music retain its analytical mind while inspectors who like dorekonic (i.e. emotional) components such as the character's appearance tends to be differentiated by other's ideology. So a musician can never be moe. That is, whether a otaku is moe or not is determined by his orientation of interest. If he is technology orientated, such as the usage of Photoshop, he cannot be moe otaku although he draw CGs of female characters. i.e. He can be a ordinary anime fans. In fact, many anime fansm especially male, is easily influenced by dorakonic things such as material and music melodies while MK ones who touch bitches much perfer to dorekonic ones. So some moe "otakus" are actually bitch-liking MK bastards! If one like purely dorakonic things, he is said to have okadaian character, i.e. high IQ.
(MY IQ=135 as I like music rather than CG)
In corollary, the identity of a otaku depends on his IQ (and thus his preference)
The following is the theory behind communicative bridge of an otaku
The.re are many alternative methods of inspection of otakus. According to okada's theory, otakus have outputs. But it contradict that normal anime fans can also write anime critics. Therefore, okada's theory can only explain the ideal framework of otakuism. To remedy this, a new theory proposed by me is invented for the discriminant of a real otaku as to the writing style between normal anime fans and otakus.
Otakus are nothing special but socially independent stylistologists such that their styles are different from anime fans albeit their interests are the same. Heence, only by inspecting the writing style can we identify a otaku from the crowd for the following use (so don't say that the calling of otaku is useless):
1. Employment of anime cast
2. Excavation of cultural heritage
3. Resource-backing for liberal studies
4. Discoursing ACG Systems
I have many newbie theories in OJA STUDIES, some of which are useful in the field of otakuism, they are namely:
A. Classification of doremotions
(note: doremotion is defined as dorsal side of emotion, i.e. any ideologies of emotions that can be partitioned into emotional and rational components)
B. Doremotional-Technical Theory (also known as DT Theory)
C. Differentiated-General Thoery (also known as DG Theory)
D. Principle of Technical Anaysis (i.e. the contrast between Fundamental writing and Technical writing)
By theory A, doremotions can be classified as dorakonic ones (i.e. independent of emotions) and dorekonic ones (i.e. dependent of emotions). Ordinary anime fans are emotive such that their writing style tends to be lyrical and according to Functional Theory in sociology, their writing function is to socialize with others. For example, they may write a HKCE level composition or prose about the beauty of binary character or feelings. So their behaviours and essays are said to be dorekonic. Otakus specailize in material properties such as musics and sketching technology of CGs, so their writing style tends to be analytical and according to Objective Approach in methodology, their writing fuctions is to discourse and explain to others like writing expository textbooks. For example, they may dissect the melodical patterns and formulae of ACG songs or giving a detailed account of ACG settings. So their behaviours and essays are said to be dorakonic.
By theory C, ordinary anime fans comprehend doremotions of animes by intuitive generalization while otakus do so by deductive differentation. For example, ordinary otakus tends to summarize the properties of a cartoon characters before giving comments while otakus tends to carry out classification and inference of symbols as a method of scientific thinking.
The following theories are applied when they are ACTUALLY writing critics:
By theory B, normal anime fans care more about [b]dorekonic doremotional flows[/b] (流程), i.e. the storyline, continunity and development of animes, while otakus care more about [b]technical flows[/b] such as abstract flow concepts (eg: Coase Thorem 高斯定理) in microeconomics), production flow, direction flow (i.e. components of an anime) and [b]dorakonic doremotional flows (e.g.. the musical combination as a function 函数 of time)[/b]. Generally speaking, normal anime fans extract doremotions easily because the doremotions from their cared flow are directly available, while otakus extract doremotional with difficulty because they need external reference.
By theory D normal anime fans are fundamental writers, i .e. they write basic level of critics in simple format. What they do is simply to comment on storylines and accessorites products (eg: CD/DVD) and values of an animes. Surely a otaku can do so because it is a rudimentary step of writing. Otakus can have more variation of critics writing, e.g. in forms of proposal, report, thesis, etc. and they concentrate more on technology, montages, techniques and concepts. Their writing are said to be technical because their aim is to extract and [b]parse[/b] doremotions from academized media. Many of such techincal writing are commonly found in academic fields.

No further replies this time …. =.=
By the way, I am preparing a subject called OJA STUDIES which will be a virtual HKCE/HKAL subject some day. This subject is especially designed for otakus and discriminate against MK bitches and bastards which are the enemy of otakus.
In this subject, candidates are required to study the following general (G) and differentiated (D) animes:
1. Doraemon (G) and its related series of the author
2. Ojamajo Doremi (D) and its related series of Toei Animation
3. Pokemon (G) and its related series of TV Tokyo
4. Digimon (D)
5. Comet-san (D) and its related series of the author
6. McMug and McDull (D)
7. O Master Q (G)
8. Keroro (D) and its related series of Sunrise
9. FullMetal Alchemist (D)
10. Tsubasa Reseriour Chronicle (D) and its related series of the author and NHK
11. Disney Cartoon Series (G)
12. Black Jack (D) and its related series of the author
13. Rozen Maiden (D) and its related series of TBS and author
In the examination various doremotional questions are asked. For example:
What is the relationship between Political-Correct (P.C.) and Sister Princess?
Can you answer it?
If you find the problem above difficult, you lack okadaian character. In fact, the answer is not straight forward. [u]Reverse thinking[/u] is required, [b]i.e. you need to explain how sister princess is politically incorrect[/b]:
1. Sister princess advocate one-to-many loves, which contradicts one-to-one love mode;
2. Sister princess plays uniformal attraction and loliconism, which contradicts moral values.
Many MK guys are tricked by the word "correctness" without realizing the properties of animes. So this questions prove a fact again: to be an otaku high IQ is required. That is what current mass media neglects. In fact, if the mass media realize such, the concept of otakuism would have been extended to all walk of lifes.
If you always visit my blog you will find that I always call myself as a complete to[u]i[/u]toise, i.e. a complete inspector (NOT to[u]r[/u]toise!) According to my theory, otakus are complete toitoises having reducible transitional surplus, i.e. they are willing to share in public with comprehensive minds. Their ideologies are said to be complex as their eegos are hard to understand. [u]so love-capitalized feminists and pan-moral are unable[/u] and thus will not waste time [u]to understand them[/u], thus creating discrimination against otakus.
Apart from writing style, the attutide towards a song is also useful in discriminating otakus from normal anime fans.
Proof:
Listening to the following songs:
1. tsubasa007.myweb.hinet.net/tsubasa-movie_op_aerial_fft93.Mp3
If he is obsessed with the non-normative melodical changes, he is a okadaian otaku
2. tsubasa007.myweb.hinet.net/tsubasa_movie_jyasumin_fft93.mp3
If he is obsessed with the female vocal, he is a moe otaku
Further proof:
3. doraemonserv.googlepages.com/01.mp3
If one could conceive a instrumental (vocalless) version of this song from his brain. he is said to have high IQ.
Combined with proof 1, if both are valid, he must be a okadaian otaku with high IQ; otherwise, if either one is wrong, he bears okadaian character but not neccessarily otakus.
>老实说我才不会这样做, 上述的作品我有看,但无兴趣详细研究下去, 我说过动画本身只是我「娱乐」一种, 我有兴趣知, 但无兴趣研究, 当某一日「娱乐」也有负担的话, 我会跳过完全不看的, 反正其他好东西多的是, 开工看书看戏打机时间点样子也不够分, 要分析的留给那些otaku吧, 我不是otaku,又忙到pk, 留番给阁下好了。
Thank you for your suggestion (ironically). Then I can separate anime fans and otakus by a discriminant: anime fantasy. Anime fantasy exist in normal anime fans who always treat anime as entertainment while otakus study them for practical use such as cultural studies thesis. Work hard! (For you, you are not doing paper works so you can enjoy anime without bearing any of the "responsiblities".
> 不要什么都叫otaku吧…. 明明有「乐迷」你可以叫的
again, a otaku will not treat music as a form of anime fantasy, nor entertainment. It is because once they conceive their own music, they starts to concentrate on musical studies (NOT enjoying music ALONE). So they get specialized. According to my theory, NOT okada's theory that any specialist who have the spirit of study and introspection, they are striving for improvement (NOT 表现欲) and thus are otakus.
> 之前讲了不下数次, 你的otaku定义和大家一般认知的有出入, 有能力的对这个印象不佳的字不会对号入座, 无能力的对内容不明不会加入讨论, 到头来两边都吃力不讨好。
Really? I don't believe so. When I have the power of authority in Journalism, I can rewrite the definition of otakus by simply publishing articles via TIME, etc. So don't be pessimistic although otaku "is none of your business" (really? I don't know!).
proofreading:
delete the word "that" and add a comma in the following sentence:
According to my theory, NOT okada's theory that any specialist who have the spirit of study and introspection, they are striving for improvement (NOT 表现欲) and thus are otakus.
> 如果佢系文学钜著, 就有所谓政治正确, 日本和香港都是自由社会, 这种摆明是娱乐的作品, 就不用什么政治正确啦, 下下子这样想,太沉重了~
I have a habit: trying my best to trick others so as to make myself difficult to understand. This ensure that I will not be attacked by feminism and thus I am treated as an otaku who have bad luck with girls XD
Otakus, in my sense, like critical analysis. (Okada is a bit lazy) That's why I treat them (for okadaian ones) as having high IQs. Critical analysis without bound have long been a game among scholars which they enjoy it. For me, even more doremotional problems can be conveived to train my mind so that I die hard:
1. What is the real meaning of hentai anime in microeconomics in terms of its etymology
(trick: hentai = preference change, NOT ecchi)
2. Propose a mechanism of anime teaching
(trick: you have to write a real subject syllabuse for HKEAA!)
By continuous thinking of such, generating topics for discussion is not a problem for otakus so that their quailty of writing is enhanced.
Neccessary condition;
They must be scholars concentrating on their own studies. If they like you who have to work on paper-otherwise things, then sorry, you will not have enough free time to think critically so that you find it as a burden instead of the norm to a be polific writers.
Here is a annotation of otaku:
御宅族（OTAKU、おたく、オタク、お宅）：
一般来说是指动漫文化的高阶崇拜、沉迷者或资讯通。本来词语也可以用来其他方面，例如说「模型御宅族」、「草书字帖御宅族」，但日常使用时的确与ACG（动画、漫画、电玩游戏）文化关系甚大。
有「御宅王」之称的动画公司GAINAX创立人之一冈田斗司夫，就试图为「御宅族」定立正面意义，指御宅族是懂得消费，精通该专门学识或资讯，并有深刻见解的优良新人类。然而，传媒和社会上一般人士，对御宅族的普遍定型是社交圈子狭窄，人际关系疏离，迷恋怪异或消极的行为模式，带有负面甚至歧视色彩。
经过学者研究，认为御宅族许多时的确与现实社会有较明显的疏离感，真正的情绪和自我并不轻易表露，彼此以疏离的态度交往，把认同对象由人转移至电脑、电视、漫画等拟像世界，由社会共同体逃逸出来。这称为「胶囊化」现象。而胶囊化的形成，与社会主导权力对他们的异化、操控规限化之要求，所构成的压力有关。

What do you think?

阁下对otaku定义的执著, 令人欣佩, 如果跟着做修成正果更是人间美事, 但恕我直言, 花时间为otaku正名只是吃力不讨好:
看毕留言, 对otaku的建解也是建基于:「According to my theory」这四个英文字, 我愚昧地问, 一你有什么资格, 二是建基什么理论说你的理论比大众误解更正统呢?
无….只是循环论証罢了, otaku原本只是指动画同好者, 直至第二代冈田出现, 但他的理论也受普编质疑的同时, 你有甚么可以支持你的解说正统性?
或者这是个提示, 对一个族群的正面评价, 是要看他们做了什么讲了什么, 而不是看他为自己定义了什么。
若然要otaku有正面形像的, 猛说外界误解根本是捉错用神, 花时间写多点对动画如何贡献社会的文章吧, 正名的, 跟本不用解释, 因为不証自明嘛。
> 你有什么资格, 二是建基什么理论说你的理论比大众误解更正统呢?
1. I am a blogger in mysinablog. They will collect valuable blogs every year and publish to others. After then, I will have enough identity to influence others.
2. Orthodox Sociology and Psychology. Currently there is no thesis about otakus in this two fields.
> 无….只是循环论証罢了
Wrong. The proofs regarding IQs has its scientifc basis. Although I haven't entered CUHK yet, I will try my endeavor to promote the positive images of otakus in action.
> 但他的理论也受普编质疑的同时, 你有甚么可以支持你的解说正统性?
Okada does not explain his theory and reinvent it using any orthodox subjects such as sociology. Apart from sociology, idiography such as 易经 (Chinese confucianism) also helps to support my theory.
> 或者这是个提示, 对一个族群的正面评价, 是要看他们做了什么讲了什么, 而不是看他为自己定义了什么。
Yes. A genius has his calling not due to his alleging as clever, but praised by others. Similarly, only by practice can otkus' positive images be built.
> 哦…当开山祖师都说otaku己变质的时候…一众信众还可以说什么?
你的志气令人欣赏, 或者真的有机会上到times讲到otaku那就太好..如果有机会的话~
I haven't subscribe to TIME yet. Yet I can write to south Chine Morning post or even The Hong Kong Economics Times.
When okada say that otakus are denatured, what okadaian otaku can do is to believe in themselves and try to be independent of okada's theory, 自成一家. By this the values of otakus can be kept in vast variery.
> 同样, 如果otaku的定义有问题, [b]我采用的是狭义otaku[/b]的话, 那之后的介释便没有任何意义..
If so, that is your [b]fault[/b] because you insist in your stereotypical partiality like the naive contributers of wikipedia otaku pages. A critical thinking person should be embracing different views instead of withholding monotonic set of values.
> 你如何令到你的otaku定义比社会甚至wiki上讲的更有普编性和权威性呢? 两者皆无的话, 只是卖花赞花香…
Holding a compaign in miniforum, then appiedaliy will follow suit to report so.
Or write article to the editors of the newspaper such as mingpao 论坛 section.
By the way, my theory is still compiling. So after the compiling the popularity should begin.
> 但我问题是:我正是在challenge你的正统性喔…直至现在你都未答, 冈田佢自己都给人在challenge喔。另点解我要觉得你那一套比大众讲的一套更正统呢? .讲不掂这一点, 你之后的解释都只是一堆未经认受的学说~~朋友~不要再来according to my theory这一套喔~我就是唔buy的~
Then p l e a s e pay heed to Ben Ng's blog. I will post 4 articles about technical analysis and animes wth otakuism in his blog. My theory may not be 正统 but 偏门 (since even social science have many branch and mathematics exist non-Eculidean gemoetry due to biased perspective . But I will try my best to make it popular. The essence of my theory is not orthodoxy, but diversity of vew.
Proofead: gemoetry==> geometry
By the way, allow me to disssect Okada's theory further by elaboration:

How do they achieve so?
1. Use BT frequently
2. Use WinMX frequently
3. Visit official site and doujin site frequently
4. Have a habit of collection
5. Striving to improvement
6. Read intensively (within Anime)
7. Read extensively (beyond anime, eg: sociology)
Furthermore ,there is a japaense test for the degree of otakus: bom-ba-ye.com/c.cgi?tcopuranai=1
What do you think of the following article?

> 其实为研究而研究本身并不是问题，但把这些做这些研究>人做的伪科学「神格化」却是个大问题。
>在动画中考据的理论，很多时也只是伪科学……
There otakus are defying okada's principle. Otakus are to produce objective and scientific technical writings such as report, thesis, proposal, news article, expository essays, description, NOT merely producing subjective critics which debate on the setting. Note that summarization and inference of anime setting obey the principle of critical thinking and thus they are acting real scientic thinking. Only ones who are acting self-fuifillment prophecy and ojogologistics (串嘴+ 虚饰) are acting 虚伪科学 (hypocritical science). A otakus hate hypocrisy, those otakus who are acting
伪科学 should no longer be otakus anymore. So real otakus are NOT acting 伪科学. People who are acting 伪科学 are fond of cultural hegemony (monopoly) which otakus hates. Otakus perfer diversity rather than monotonic-set of values. Otakus have critical thinking and seek truth based on research, NOT assumption.
As to what eliein小姐 has said (i.e. what you have quoted):
Lam's family are prestigious in the field of social science (me too). In fact, otakus from all walk of lifes do not have only 1 命题来做研究. i.e. If they treat animation as culture rather than entertainment, then cultural heritage and anime teaching emerge out of and to the general public's mind. For me, as a okadaian otaku as well as a freshman sociologist, I find many issues (命题) in animes:
1. Rozen Maiden: Darwinism, hikikorori, feminism, gothic lolita, Rococo, TBS
2. Comet-san: 横山光辉, 镰仓, ballet, 丰收祭, 九重佑三子
3. Ojamajo Doremi: babysitting, world peace, free will, ghosts, sex education
[b]Many of the issues involves the harsh reality problems so they are no longer entertainment but culture.[/b]
Typo:
hikikorori=> hikikomori
> 「霸道的终焉」就是不要为无谓的名号而纠缠下去，有关otaku的讨论就停在这儿好了，倒不如做些实质工作吧。
of course. I am typing a article called 再论动画的技术分析（１）： 文本分析篇, here is some excerpt:
导言
有关动画的技术分析论文可在此找到。
在动画的技术分析大纲 一文中论及的样本分析、流程分析和意识型态运用皆需要文本分析，即解读各种文本并抽取重要资讯，并且把归纳所得加以推演，把其变成技术分析文本[附一]。其文在开头说：「如何对萌系动画作技术分析？」答案是要先进行文本分析。可是，许多时候要解读的文本大多是基本分析文本[附二]，要把其思想感情抽离可不是一件易事，但对于冈田派御宅族来说却是日常工夫。本文作者身为冈田派御宅族，将分亨动画的文本分析的一点心得。
如何通识地分析文本－－议题探索方式 (Issue-inquiry approach)
样本分析、流程分析和意识型态运用皆有既定主题，而这些主题皆可作为议题处理以便订出资料搜集大纲，例如：
１． 样本分析──小魔女 Doremi[附三] 的专题介绍
许多人以为样本分析就是文本比较，其实这是文化专题探索：
ａ．小魔女 Doremi的制作班底涉及小学校长，跟其健康的主题有甚么关系？
ｂ．小魔女 Doremi的歌曲变化如何特别？
ｃ．小魔女 Doremi为何要分四辑不同画风?
ｄ．OVA 是甚么?
２．流程分析──Gal (「后宫型」) 动画的流程 (flow)
动画的流程分析大致分为三种：制作流程分析、方向流程分析和意识型态流程分析。相关议题如下：
ａ．制作流程分析：Gal 的情节要如何出众？
ｂ．方向流程分析：Gal 情节的表达时序要如何才恰当？
ｃ．意识型态流程分析：Gal 情节需不需要顾及政治正确的价值观？
３． 意识型态运用──御宅主义 (otakuism)[附四]
意识型态包含各种现象及其相关观念，把这些概念归纳起来变成ｘｘ主义来研究方便意识型态的整理：
ａ．御宅族的字源学(etymology)是如何？
ｂ．御宅族的定义是如何分歧的？
ｃ．御宅族为何受到歧视？
ｄ．冈田斗司夫的御宅族理论如何衍生（derivative）像 doraemonserv 的临界思考者（critical thinkers－－见临界分析）？
ｅ．御宅族的未来定位取向应该如何？
就著议题订出资料搜集大纲后，只需从文本抽取有关资料，然后使用任何一种技术分析文本（例如报告、专题介绍、新闻犒、论文、建议书等等）表达其project 即可。在日本，这种方法许多动画化project （例如音乐小彗星[附五]和蔷薇少女[附六]）皆有采用，只是分析结果的表达方式有异（符号 symbol），需要御宅族等评论媒介以文字解构（reinvent）动画中各项符号
What do you think?
附注
[附一] 技术分析文本：泛指见解能独立成家的客观性文章
[附二] 基本分析文本：泛指引述他人见解的主观性文章
[附三] 小魔女 Doremi ：作者在正式的动漫画理论中 (尚未公开，连结见此)(Syllabuse A Chapter 22)动画的主线样本分析共有１３个：

４． 世界和平
５． 魔法ＶＳ自由意志
[附四] 御宅主义：由 doraemonserv 创立的一门御宅现象的社会科学研究，又为新一派冈田式御宅正名。内容探讨新一代御宅族与儒家自省精神、日本职人精神和研究精神的关系。它也是文化创造产业理论。
[附五] 音乐小彗星：动画的主线样本分析第５个；相关议题包括：
１．横山光辉(Mitsuteru Yokoyama)漫画史
２．镰仓(Kamakura)风景
３．芭蕾舞

２． 哥德罗莉 (Gothic Lolita)
３． 隐闭青年(hikikomori)
４． 洛可可精神(Rococo) （from 下妻物语）
５． 达尔文主义 (Darwinism)
I have made HKEAA-styled test for understanding of okadaian otakus at http://doraemonserv.mysinablog.com/. You may try and report your mark and grade here. Ask questions if you encounter any difficulties in answering each question.
Note: I have coined many words here! Try your best to guess their meaning!
sorry, the correct url should be doraemonserv.googlepages.com/2112_ce_a_P2.html
Have your read 暧昧的日本人? In the book it states that Japanese does not allow the existence of indivuals due to monotonous unity. That means pluralistic otakus as a indivualism scholars (eg: they treat H anime as pure art instead of immoral thing) cannot ideologically survive in Japan. In contrast, Hong Kong has no restriction of beliefs so loca otakus including me is liberal without being persecuted.
