Are you open about anime in the workplace?
| I've talked about it with some of my coworkers in the past but none of my current ones - it just hasn't come up. My coworkers are substantially (15-30 years) older than me and definitely not into it. We talk about movies, hip-hop, television, current events, office gossip, our personal lives, and a multitude of other things, but I've never seen the point in trying to force somebody to listen to something they aren't interested in. That being said, anime falls a little outside the range of topics I would feel comfortable discussing at work in a way other things (television shows they don't watch, people they don't know) that similarly don't involve my coworkers do not. I think it's the general immaturity/stupidity of the premises? I worked with a guy who was into anime a few months ago and he wouldn't stop talking about series like Naruto, Bleach, Soul Eater, despite being in his 20s, and I definitely found it off-putting. |

| Yes, I don't give a shit if people think of me differently cause I watch something, lol. |
| If someone asks if I watch it or not, I will say yes obviously. But I don't go around flaunting the fact that I am a fan of the Japanese entertainment industry. As I get older, I realize that people don't give as much shits about you as you think they do. |

| I'm not open about it.. ..buuut I do talk about it when asked, since it's not something I find embarrassing, just not something I would bring up to just anyone. |
 |
| I'm not ashamed of it, but it's not something I would bring about in a workspace. Perhaps maybe if there's a proper opportunity to talk about it - then I would. But with most my interests, it's not something I'd be waving around or shouting about. Maybe have a few appropriate figurines on the work desk, but that's it, nothing too showy or something that will make me seem less professional. Work is for work, it's not place to be flaunting your interests about, that's what you're bed room is for *wink wink* -bakaonna |
| I tell people if they ask, but otherwise there's no need to bring it up. Some people just aren't interested, and that's fine. |
 |
| I used to be "open" about it back when I first got into anime a few years back and acted like a stupid weeaboo. Nowadays I only really mention it if it comes up in conversation or if anyone asks. It's not like I go around telling everyone I meet "OMG I'm a gamer! Man have you ever played Dark Souls? That game is great! Oh and so is Mass Effect and The Witcher 3! I also love playing modded Skyrim! PC MASTER RACE!" |
 Ahhh... Is this the blood... The blood of the Dark Soul? |
| Most of my friends are nerds so they're accepting of anime. I had no problem mentioning anime in the military, where you had the complete opposite of nerd. Most of the people saw it as something cool, something that made me weirder and thus more interesting. |
