My friend always held a hatred for anime, probably cause he thinks the only anime is what you can get fron Cartoon Network. So, I once asked him, "Have you ever watched any anime? I've seen a few series I liked, they're not all dumb shit like you see on TV."

That was a month ago. Now, he usually responds with generic responses when I message him on AIM, but a lot of times, he'll just pretend he's AFK until he "comes back" an hour later and apologizes for being AFK. I guess someone so ignorant isn't worth being friends with, anyway. I just wish I could have seen how he really was in the first seven years I knew him.

>> No.2229983

As long as you have other interests to go along with your anime, I don't see what difference it makes. Now if your life revolves around weaboo activities then there might be some reason to cover it up, but even that's less about the specific interest and more the fact that it's all you do (doing nothing but playing WoW all day would be just as pathetic).

In my case, while living with my parents, I'll play some Odin Sphere before switching the PS2 off and watching the Rangers game; one day I might be watching my favorite war movies, another I might be watching Princess Tutu. My parents don't question it, other than random curiosity about what the game I'm playing or anime I'm watching is about.

Oh, and having a job always helps you avoid looking pathetic too.

The funny thing is that anime only makes up a small portion of the things I do. Imagine if he found out about the games I've played, the lolis, the music, the figures, or any other interest could be seen as unusual in the eyes of someone more normalfagish than ourselves. Maybe it's my fault for living a double life like that.

Parents know about it. My older brother had an interest in anime/manga for a while although I don't know if he still does. Older sister sorta did but I know she has moved on from it now.

Only have one real life friend. He was a huge weeaboo like me before he left. He returns 3 years later and he seems mostly the same (although a bit lower in power level). I hang out with him, but I can't say I always enjoy it. He never wants to play multiplayer games with me, partly because he is no good and I'm a little too good. So when we comes over it's often him playing some single player game while he constantly yells about how the computer cheats or the game doesn't play fair.
