The Article
I laughed so hard at this.
Macias agrees and has little doubt that otaku will influence attitudes about sexual expression here. “When you see a kid sitting in Borders reading a manga, he’s not just reading a comic book,” Macias said. “There is something really powerful going on there."

And the reference about otaku stuff is just hilarious.

I can assure Macias, I'm just reading the manga and not thinking about anything else.

As if MSNBC ever had in credit in my eyes. Whatever decimal amount of respect I had for them is now gone. My opinion of mass media has taken a hit too. First fox news and "anonymous", now MSNBC and "otaku". Whats next?!?

But sexually-suggestive and explicit anime like "Gurren Lagann" and "Legend of the Overfiend,"is finding an eager audience of adult Americans who are drawn to the post-modern, almost post-human mash-up of playful, blurry morality found in the genre.
Are they actually comparing TTGL to Legend of the Overfiend? O_o

Men, on the other hand, are often passive worshipers of small figurines depicting sexy characters.
Haha that's not true at all... not at all.. I don't "worship" my sexy figures, I just.. I just.. love them tenderly.

The only thing I can give them credit with is the whole lolicon and making it clear that people who enjoy loli do not promote real underage girls.
Other then that, it was pretty dumb.
Come on, give us more credit then that <.< even I wouldn't want a Hello Kitty vibrator.
That just made me sorta lol.
Bit over exaggerating, maybe?
Really? Wow, we're getting some street cred that we can actually interact with other humans, otaku humans though.

only has to spend a little time playing with a Hello Kitty vibrator while reading a fan-created pornographic Pokemon comic
Come on, give us more credit then that <.< even I wouldn't want a Hello Kitty vibrator.

otaku men and women socialize, date and sometimes actually fall in love
