Otaku is just a geek who specifically likes japanese stuff. I don't see how it's any different than a geek collecting trading cards or a football fan collecting memorabilia.
Saying it's "an incredibly bad thing to be" is a little extreme. And you seem to be lumping all otaku's together.
Otaku is a person that devotes himself so much to his fandom that he has no social life, and as the word itself implies, doesn't even leave his house(Besides for shopping/etc) because of said fandom.
Otaku is an incredibly insulting thing to be called.
