Ruth Ozeki Quote

Otaku (おた) is also a formal way of saying you. た means house, and with the honorific お, it literally means your honorable house, implying that you are less of a person and more of a place, fixed in space and contained under a roof. Makes sense that the stereotype of the modern otaku is a shut-in, an obsessed loner and social isolate who rarely leaves his house.
