Not sure if all hikikomori must literally live like a lich in the dungeon 24/7. I'd say people who only prefer to spend their free time that way would qualify as hikikomori just fine. Then you can't really evade offline contact if you don't live in literal wilderness.
>And the idea of "a rare person", whose criterium for connecting to someone else is them being part of the same subculture is part of the issue.
In my experience subcultured people have more permissive criteria for connections, and mainstream people want to kill all nonconformance with fire.
