It's a Japanese term, originally meaning "People who are indulged in or obsessed with a hobby which most people regard as boring or unpopular". It's mostly used for people who are "into" the anime and manga culture of Japan( in every meaing of the word "into" that you can think of and possibly more).
Due to a stereotype usually seen in manga and light novels, i believe that the term is used in a negative way in Japan( never been to Japan, don't really know if it's just a stereotype or not), and thus i said what i did.
