Are there women with what you might call “otaku” interests?

There’s even a question in the Questions section along the lines of, “You should give women golf lessons!”... I imagine many of the men registered here have refined, gentlemanly hobbies such as golf, going to the theater, and fine dining... So I wonder whether a hardcore otaku like me—someone who thinks, “Women in the real world are great, but women in the 2D world are the best too!”—is a rarity. Personally, I’d be happy to meet a woman I could go on dates with to anime shops and places like that. Respondent: “Then go to an otaku-focused matchmaking site!” No, no, wait—just hear me out for a moment! These days, every field is trying to attract the “otaku” demographic. For example... ・Young people are losing interest in horse racing! → Make an anime featuring moe characters based on horse racing ・Young people are disappearing from rural areas → Revitalize towns through anime Otaku-only matchmaking parties also seem to be quite popular. ...Exactly. Dating clubs have no choice but to embrace the otaku demographic too, right? After all, even the famous Kano Sisters have recently been putting anime-character cosplay front and center! So please start by creating Universe Club’s own mascot character, “Universe-chan,” and making her the guide！！ ...Sorry, I’m joking. But seriously... ・Many otaku men are wealthy → In fact, many men who use this club spend more on their hobbies every month than they pay women. There are still plenty of men who look like the stereotypical otaku from *Densha Otoko*, but there are also many stylish, gentlemanly men. If this demographic could be successfully drawn into the real world... ・There are also many otaku women who are plain and uninterested in fashion, especially among women who enjoy cosplay. But there are also many women who care about fashion and beauty, and who shine both through their otaku interests and in other areas. If they can clearly separate their hobbies from the time they spend meeting men, I imagine many of them would receive plenty of offers on this site. 【Summary of my questions】 ・How many women with otaku interests are there? Is this something people even ask about or confirm in the first place? ・Are there terms such as, “Women who like BL (a genre dealing with romance between men) are not acceptable,” for example? →Of course, prioritizing doujinshi events over men, or talking about nothing but those interests even when with men, might be considered unacceptable... ・Are there also men here with otaku interests? Sorry for yet another rather niche topic. I’d really appreciate your answers. For the record, I understand that hobbies are only one aspect of a woman. And although I’m a very hardcore otaku, I’m not the sort of person who would show up to meet a woman wearing an anime-character T-shirt—apparently there are quite a few men like that on matchmaking sites.
