What's the difference between a Weeaboo and a Otaku?

[OathkeeperRoxas XIII]

Are both good or bad? Does Weeaboos only like the Japanese version of things. Are some Otakus good people? I really like to know.

Otaku - in Japan, it means one who stays at a house. Most of the time, it's degrading to be an otaku. In America though, it refers to those who love anime, manga, video games, etc.

Weeaboos - a person who is fascinated with anime that they want to be in Japan because of that. They also try to speak in Japanese or insert Japanese words in an English sentence. It is bad to be a weeaboo.
