I'd call it wasei, but I don't think it's a big deal.

Also I think this might qualify as "slang" rather than "col"? My understanding of the difference between the two is that "slang" 
denotes a word not widely known outside of a specific group/demographic, or only widely known as a word used by a specific 
group/demographic, while "col" denotes words more widely known but that might not fit formal texts, etc.

This isn't wasei English because "otaku" is a Japanese word.
