Do you hide the fact that you like anime IRL?

If you met me in real life, I would never mention anime. If you asked me if I liked anime I would probably do my best to avoid the question. The whole topic of anime just seem really awkward to me.

Yup, I'm in the closet about it. It has a negative stigma here.

I don't hide it, but I don't actively advertise it either. I have no qualms about mentioning that I like anime it if it becomes relevant in a conversation, but besides that I keep it to myself, as I do with my interests in general.

I have a small group of friends that also like anime that I hang out with IRL. Besides that, I don't show my weebness to the general public.

No, it's not really something you have to avoid here, I guess.

My friends think that anime is a creepy thing for some reason which sucks tbh cause I am the only person I know with this hobby.

I reckon given the apparent prevelence of people hiding it, that if every single person "in the closet" came out, people will have to acknowledge it as something normal. It's just TV after all.

If your my friend outside of school/work then you will know that i like anime. I'm pretty open about it, Iv brought it up in conversation before with people but i admit im kinda subtle with it in public. Its whatever as long as you dont drag the subject on to people that dont care and its only awkward if you make it awkward.

Not at all. Anime is widely accepted where I'm from and no one really considers it lame or anything (unless you go full weaboo).

I don't understand why you would hide it. Sure, it's a nerdy hobby, but being nerdy is cool nowadays. Just look at how big Star Wars is.

Kind of. I don't go to lengths to hide it but if I'm asked what I was doing at a certain time, I'd just say 'sat on laptop' instead of 'watching this anime called...Darker than Black' or w/e. It wasn't always like this but as anime has become more renown so too has the perception of it's pervy nature...add to the fact that I'm not as young as I was when I first started watching so the idea of a 25 y/o watching anime comes off as a bit...unusual.

in all fairness, a friend gave it to me and i'd feel bad if it seemed like I totally disregarded the gift; that would be rude...

I'm not loud about it.

Not ashamed of it at all, however. It's not like other people are doing things that are so much more fucking interesting.

Otherwise, I'd do that instead. Or at least try to.

Anime came up in a conversation once, I mentioned Ive seen some. Someone asked me if that was my Go-To-Place(hentai). I said No I like other stuff. Showed them a picture( 90s Anime) they didn't seem interested.

Only time Anime has ever come up.

I don't hide it per se, but it's not something I really talk about either. I work at Barnes & Noble and we sell a lot of manga so I chat about it with customers sometimes, but other than that I pretty much just keep it to myself.
