Never met either, there aren't a whole lot of any of those kinds here...well i have probably met a few fanboys without realizing it, but other than that none. So i haven't really gotten a basis for comparission. However based on the descriptions i have read then original otaku are scary in their deep social dysfunctionality and obsession. Especially since as far as i have been able to understand from non-entertainment sources then those in the entertainment sources are not parodies but the way the worst of them actually are. Still it is a fairly uneducated opinion.
