As for how other people treat otaku, I think that's dependent on the person. I'm an open otaku, even to other people who don't watch anime or play games at all. I've never been treated as a loser in any way, mainly because I don't act or look like one. Boxing otaku as people who buy figures, can only talk about anime, have the communication skills of a gnat, and find 3d girls disgusting is stereotyping.
