I use really obscure images so most people won't know. If a person does now where the images come from, then I don't get embarrassed since knowing the obsure background would also expose the other person as a weeb.

I also only use anime background images on my phone.

Here are the images I use if you are wondering:

I have a Yu-Gi-Oh! background in my cellphone (more specifically, the Stardust Dragon) or I'd switch it with an Saber Alter (Fate series) background...

I really don't care. I just like having that kind of thing in my cellphone. I don't try to hide it from other people...

Yes, on every device. My PC at work has manga background too.

However, I tend to keep my personal tablet hidden while in public because it has a very (very) nice image of Andy and Frank from Yowamushi.

Yeah I use anime wallpapers on my phone and my desktop background is anime as well. I wanted to get a Spice and Wolf case for my phone but I couldn't find one I liked.

The more we grow up the less embarrassed we are about our tastes and preferences, perhaps i was embarrassed when i was 16, but now that I am 25 I have nothing to be embarrassed about :)

I've been using anime wallpapers on phone and laptop for as long as I remember.
Never embarrassed of it. Kinda proud instead.

i've been using a super cool fanart of ulquiorra as my phone wallpaper since like 2014. Most people don't really notice it and the few times they do they tend to have a lighthearted reaction. Haven't found much better stuff to replace it (or i'm just lazy). Either way not embarrassing in the slightest for me.

Yes I do, I also have a lot of posters in my wall and a good amount of figures.

So I definitely wouldn't be embarrassed just because of a desktop wallpaper

It's only embarrassing if the wallpaper is ecchi or hentai or something like that (I don't know why anyone would use images like that as their phone wallpaper).

I have anime wallpapers for my laptop and phone, and I never thought I cared until I was front row in one of my college classes and had to pull out my laptop every class to take notes. Opening it up just to have a closeup of an anime girls face pop up was a bit embarrassing haha
but, at least I wasn't the guy in my chemistry class who would sit in the front row and read my hero academia fanfiction on his laptop in an extra large font

I think most of my wallpapers and backgrounds are anime like my desktop wallpaper is from Arakawa under the bridge and I have a naruto wallpaper on my phone. I think they are a nice way to remember the anime and think about it.

Nah, I don’t even use wallpapers in general to begin with. The default ones they give you or a black screen is good enough for me.

You're right about them being obscure, but weebs still getting the references lol

Ah, I did a mistake by not reading the OP. Well, I don't put anime wallpapers on my phone either. This time because my relatives might think I'm weird for putting "Chinese cartoons" as wallpapers on my phone. And because I myself think it's kinda embarrassing.

But that's fine. As long as I don't look super weird in public, I don't really mind if other weebs will get it.

I might have been embarrassed about it before, but given that I'm not going outside anymore due to covid and thus no one will ever see my phone background, it's kind of a moot point.

I have a folder with 130 4K wallpapers of just cute anime girls. Been rocking it for a while, but atm I have a folder activated of Dark Souls 3. I started playing it a month ago and I love this game.

Since we're on topic, any good sites to expand the collection? Non spicey and spicey, it's all good. BUT 4k please.

Ah and on my phone I use images of the webtoon Solo Leveling, really like that art and there are a couple of cool looking shots.

I always had as wallpapers only anime characters. I watch anime for 10 years and I am very fond of it. I do not why, but when I am watching anime I feel so relaxed. I brought my wife into this anime culture. She showed me a very interesting article about anime culture https://carnalknowledge.net/weeb/. I was so shocked after I read it. It's really interesting, and I recommend you to read it! There you will find a lot of details about anime. Also, you will read about some interesting facts, that impressed me!

My family is pretty judgemental about anime (they're very nice people, they just find anime incredibly strange for some reason lol), and since I'm always around them, I do get a bit embarrassed when they see my wallpapers but I love mine a lot! They're rly pretty :)

Nah,but I used to save pictures and gifs in my laptop for anime. I do have a luffy bookmark I created and used even today. My boyfriend is staring at it murderously so I keep it hidden a lot. My wallpaper is a picture of my boyfriend which is quite embarrassing. But if you have anime wallpapers as backgrounds that is really brave and fun. So dont ever felt like its such a uncool thing to do. Be proud of what you like.

I use anime wallpapers all the time, nothing to be embarrassed about since I don't use lewd ones usually.

Currently rocking Tomoe Gozen & Shuten Douji.

I use a Zaku II pic as my phone background, and Rebuild of Eva's Geofront as my lock screen as well.

Lol that screenshot gave me some nostalgia for some reason with the avast antivirus and a folder called "games & stuff" ah the good old days

For me, I just use anime wallpapers wherever I can, but not something questionable (obviously :p)

Yup. My computer's screensaver used to be a painting, but I switched it to this sick art of Natsuno and Tohru from Shiki around three-ish years ago. (Warning: don't click if you haven't watched the series):

On my cell phone I have an Elaina background (majo not tabitabi) in my blocking background,I find it a bit embarrassing in public because it is flashy.And as wallpaper I have nagatoro, which is a more normal background and not so striking. Oh and on my PC I have a wallpaper of chito and yuuri, which if I open it in public it would also be a bit embarrassing XD
