I missed this one, on July 2nd 2007 1,000 Japanese Otakus (Japanese for ‘geek’ effectively) marched in support of their geekdom. The drive behind the march was to grab positive attention from national media which often depicts them as bums and hoodlums. Covered by kiranet.com.

Lately many big department stores are conquering Akihabara, little shops are disappearing, and with them the “authentic Akihabara spirit” is also being destroyed. - kirainet.com/english/otaku-demonstration/
