I don't think there's anything wrong with my wallpaper. I have a wallpaper of Ippo Makunouchi from Hajime no Ippo for my lock screen and home screen on my phone.

i have a FLCL wallpaper for my phone, and my friend saw it and asked what it was. I explained it to him and he was chill about it. nobody has seen my Rei Ayanami wallpaper for my laptop yet so I can't say anything about it yet
I said with a posed look

On my phone: A dark wallpaper with a tiled pattern to break up the plainness. I'm going for usability rather than looks.

On my PC: This probably counts.

I always use anime wallpapers or if not its at least a game i use anime pictures most of the time for pfps and posts on insta and twitter but i hate when someone makes fun of me for it especially in school as hardly anyone watches anime and all the people that do (including me) watch hentai so as a joke we mostly talk about that so anime has a bad name in my school

I have been using a bold and brash wallpaper for the past few years and I don’t feel like changing it. But for my phone my lock screen is some football player and my Home Screen is Kimi no Na Wa, but at first glance it doesn’t look like anime so idk if that counts.

All my wallpapers are anime just being upfront. Can it be embarrassing if a stranger scoffs or sees it around the town? Sure, a lot of things can be embarrassing. But at the end of the day, I'm probably never going to see them again, and if they are gonna judge me for my hobbies or interests I don't really care anyway, to be honest.

lol, I wish I did, but the only one I would want to do would be a jojo part 8: jojolion one (my forum picture and my signature), but I think I love that manga TOO much and I would just end up staring at it

but no, if I did I would not be embarrassed

yup and no, no one else goes on my computer... so the wallpaper isn't embarrassing in the slightest.


once i get a charger for my brother's windows 7 laptop, it's background is a fairy tail pic i found online.
"I suffered all my life. No one ever truly loved me. No one ever truly cared about me. I only loved one thing in my whole life and that was Christina Menefee. But she was torn away from me. I tried to save myself with [student’s name], but she never cared for me. As it turns out, she made fun of me behind my back while we were together. And all throughout my life I was ridiculed. Always beaten, always hated. [...] I am malicious because I am miserable."

"It was not a cry for attention, it was not a cry for help. It was a scream in sheer agony [...]"

I don't use anime wallpaper anymore, but when I used to, I didn't feel embarrassed. But if I get a new laptop, I'll probably go back to using anime wallpapers or the manga panels like this one. :')

No. I think it would be rather embarrassing to flaunt an anime wallpaper in public and in front of my friends. I wouldn’t mind having an image that is more subtle but I prefer your standard urban photography for wallpapers.

My wallpapers for my smartphone and pc are both anime-themed but they're not from any anime in particular; however, my wallpapers for IPad are. The lock screen has got some Guilty Crown art and the home screen has Ainz Ooal Gown in the back. It's not embarrassing, since unless you're an anime fan, it's unlikely you've ever heard of Overlord or Guilty Crown despite their popularity.

Yep. My desktop background is this FLCL theme, and my laptop has this Cowboy Bebop theme. As for my phone:

Background: same as my profile picture.

Anyway, yeah not embarrassing at all. It's what I like, and it's not like I need or care if others validate my interests.

In front of the boys its not embarrassing- but if some girl looks and sees Nagisa and Tomoya on my lock screen, then yes. It is embarrassing.

I avoid using wallpapers that literally scream weeb in your face. I use something that is a bit subtle. Mostly landscapes or dark wallpapers.

Yes I do, I usually have cute ones, sometimes nsfw or yuri, its not embarassing, quite the opposite, i feel superior for being a weeb and every weeb should feel proud of themselves for expressing their majestic form of enterntaiment and tastes.

I do have one for my desktop. I put it because it looked pretty, and my mom likes it too.
It can be embarrassing sometimes, when I went to the shop to fix it, but it was fine.

In the past I used to use backgrounds from anime as wall papers.
Nowadays I don't bother and just use the default windows background.

Yeah, and it changes every day. There's a folder I keep that also has screenshots from eyecatches and other wallpaper-worthy scenes and paintings I really like to keep things fresh. Right now it's this:

I have a growing collection of pictures of smug anime girls but the first time I picked a anime pic for my homescreen I chose this

because it made me smile, but then I forgot about it and flashed it in front of a clerk at the bank. She played it cool and I switched to smug anime girls...
