When did you meet your Otaku friends or how did your friendship start?

Well ╮(￣▽￣)╭ i'm a closet otaku (and fujoshi) but last last year when i entered college, i have this one weird class (whole class) (￣∇￣") where they argue who is a better ship in a random anime, since i know what they're talking about i just listened silently, then half of the class suddenly got divided to two The YURI(boys) and The YAOI(girls). then they got into a debate then someone not from both group (the neutral) said that shoujo is better and another part of the neutral shouted shonen. then everyone got into an argument we got thrown out of the school building i was so shocked since i never really met another people who loves anime/manga that much. then everyone ate lunch together and become good friends.

today the girls used the boys as materials for a yaoi story then the boys used the girls as materials for a yuri story. but i'm telling you Ship War in our class is really a war (we gotten thrown out the building five times).ヾ(❀╹◡╹)ﾉ~

i really love my class. How about you? (≧∀≦)
