If he/she doesn't respect your interests and expects you to give them up for him/her even if they don't affect him/her in the least, then I'd suggest getting the fuck out of that relationship. He/she ain't worth it.

Fair enough. I don't have a good memory for details.

I don't like being called an Otaku because there are negative meanings about it but I guess I'm a Type A Otaku base on this
(click to show/hide)
A person who simply enjoys “anime.”
Is proud of Japan’s anime.
Evaluates anime based on direction, voice acting, art, etc.
Hates shallow anime with no real content.
Story emphasis >>>>> Moe anime.
A recent example would Higashi no Eden. Fans of anime who like Lain or Ghost in the Shell would probably be this kind.

A person who simply enjoys “characters.”
Will watch an anime if it includes cute or beautiful characters.
Doesn’t care if story is awful, as long as the characters are of interest.
Evaluates anime based on which seiyuu are in it and what the characters look like.
Loves moe elements. Doesn’t like complex anime.
The otaku the media picks up on are usually this kind.
Doesn’t know that much about anime and so is often criticized by Type A otaku.
However, they make much better customers than the more discerning Type A otaku.
Recently there has been a huge increase in anime targeted at Type B otaku.

I always hated the term. It gives the impression of someone who holds Japanese works above all others; loves anime but sees no merit in western cartoons; will read manga but sneers at graphic novels; are fascinated by 60s samurai flicks but have never seen a Hitchcock flick, etc, etc. I have a healthy interest in Japanese works but not at the expense of being ignorant of home grown material, and at least in my eyes that's the difference.
AceHigh:
There is one easy way to spot otakus. After watching anime they tend to like everything that is Japanese, not because it is necessarily better or anything, but just because it's Japanese.
