In reference to the video I think he's a know it all that wanted attention by shoving a video of him disrespecting other people to make himself feel better. I watched a minute and got bored because he was shoving the fact that because he lived in Japan he had sort of the right to say what was and wasn't.

Opinions are opinions, let him have them. It's not really in our realm of control if we don't agree with them. If people are too closed minded to automatically attack us... well, that's there problem, but honestly with the mainstream boom of anime in the mid-90s I would say this isn't really that much of a threat.

I mean words are what you make of them. Everyone has a different thing that comes to mind when I say words like "hope", "pride", "legend", etc. If I make geek a good word in my mind it can be a good word, but it doesn't change ti for anyone else either.

Though I wasn't trying to group subcultures together, but you also have to note that most people who aren't fans of any of those things will.
