One of them was written by a girl and she explained how she loved Kirino and her way to express her passion for 2D character and more. And that girl, thanks to Kirino, decided to reveal to her brother that she was an otaku. Fortunately for her, her brother was an otaku too but he was also afraid to reveal his passion xD
Well this little rant was to say that some people has different reaction to a news like that (even if the said reaction is sometimes over-exagerated like in Japan xD)
