I just don't understand why the term anti-otaku, does that mean the person is speciallized in discriminate otaku people only?

When you like too much something always there will be people who will laugh at you, the same happens with trekkies or any kind of hardcore fan.
I would not say that the discrimination is not understandable, as you describe. I would say there is a set that focuses on their demise (some exist on this site) where I think that is a less-that-useful use of one's time.
