Well, >>111, if you take it from a culturally relevant angle, the people that matter most to otaku (other otaku) don't hate them. It's all about acceptance in one's peer group, see.
>>113, you're correct! The mindset of most English-speaking countries when it comes to messageboards like this is that they're jokes, that they can use their anonymity to cause random havoc, that nothing said is really serious or real at all.

>>114 is internet anthropology!
