Jessica Pompay comments

I'm a little bit disappointed in the way that people are taking this thread. Why is there so much hate towards these foreigners who went to Comiket? For one, I'm the girl named "Jessica" that was interviewed at this particular Comiket. I am not obsessed with Japan, and I'm not obsessed with anime and video games. I'm an artist who lives in Canada, and as a hobby, I cosplay. I enjoy Japanese culture including pop-culture. I think the people that I've met at comiket were probably some of the nicest people I've ever met in my life. Otaku life has a negative rep, and I don't think people are thinking clearly about the subject matter.

Otaku aren't all bad. Keep in mind that the term Otaku means "a person who's obsessed with something". This doesn't have to be anime or video games, in fact there's Otaku everywhere...sports otaku, fashion otaku, car otaku...etc.

If anyone has questions for me with my experience with Japan and more specifically, Comiket, please ask me.
