So I’m a Bishoujo Game Blog Now?
So JAST USA, that venerable porn translator of the west, has started a new blog for itself. Not a bad idea, get in touch with the fans and everything, spread the word, etc. Then I see the name, Otakuism.com. But aren’t I Otakuism, and not in a porn company kind of way? First there’s the irony of an eroge fan and writer for a visual novel fansite having an industry blog share the same name as his own blog. Which, admintingly, is pretty ironic. I doubt anyone at JAST USA has ever seen my blog, so it’s not like I’m mad at all. It’s kind of cool actually. I can lie and say I inspired people enough to make a blog about porn. As long as it doesn’t surpass me on the google search for “otakuism,” I’m okay.

Sorry dude. Otakuism can hardly be called a trademark of yours

True true, I just like the irony of the whole thing.

It is admittedly funny. Hey, is haruhiism.com taken yet?

I know moyism had that one site of his, but I don’t think it’s been used officially.

I was aware of your blog, actually, and want to apologize for sniping the name. Apparently we were sitting on the URL unused for awhile and it seemed like the most apropos one available for the blog; I hope there are no hard feelings.
To keep things straight I’ll try to consistently refer to the JAST blog as “Otakuism.com” and to your blog as “Otakuism”, if that would help page ranking and whatnot. I doubt we’ll be generating enough content to usurp your position regardless.

Nah, it’s alright. Anything to make VN’s more well known in the wider world is fine with me.

I’m sure you’ll also get some extra hits because of this~
