CATDOLL: Japanese otakus cry out for justice: We saved the economy but are still looked down upon

No matter where they are, "otaku" is not a group accepted by the public. Even in Japan, where ACG culture is quite developed, "otaku" is looked down upon by the public. But now, with the popularization of ACG culture and the development of the Internet, many otakus have begun to use the Internet to express their demands and dissatisfaction with this situation. Recently, a Japanese otaku posted a picture on the Internet saying "Don't look down on otakus", which also attracted everyone's attention.

The picture says: "Games. Idols. Anime. Don't look down on otakus. Without us, Japan would be even worse off." It seems that this is the voice of otakus who are often discriminated against and can no longer bear it. This tweet has been forwarded more than 20,000 times, with many comments and more than 13,000 likes.

In this regard, many Japanese netizens commented: "Such calls should have been made long ago. Japanese subculture is very popular all over the world, but it is looked down upon by the Japanese? What kind of logic is this!", "When it comes to Japan, everyone thinks of Japanese anime. How many people think of the careers of ordinary people like you?" I always feel that such comments come from these otakus... However, many netizens also said that these otakus are too self-satisfied. The so-called boosting of the economy is really nothing to be proud of. The key is that the many problems of the otakus themselves are the fundamental reason for being looked down upon. So what do you think about this issue? Have the Japanese otakus really boosted the Japanese economy? Let's discuss it together.
