| Mentioning it casually is fine, people aren't usually that judgemental. Most people only react negatively if you shove it down their throats and consistently talk about it when it's uncalled for. |
| I'm not a lolicon, you're just projecting your tendency to lewd 2D characters. If your favourite character is Tsutsukakushi Tsukiko, you are my soul mate. Been a long time since I've been here, I'll continue expressing myself freely and believe everyone should too. My MAL Interview |

 |
| yeah , i dont see a reason why i shouldnt |

 |
| I usually don’t share it with everyone just for reputation reasons but if people know I’m a weeb I couldn’t care. Though I share my weeb side to all my fellow webs. |
 |
| I usually don't mention anime unless the context arises, because it's usually not relevant at all. It's not even my primary hobby, anyway. I don't mind dropping casual hints though, e.g. with what's on my keychain. |

| It is like the law of the Fight Club, my weeb side is not something I am permited to talk about or hint at. Actually, that has reminded me there is a hint after all in my case too, the ringtone of my mobile phone is the ending theme song of After the rain, Ref:rain by Aimer. |

| I don't ever do that. Only my best friends know my obsession with anime. |
 "All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost; The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost." |
| What weeb side? I don't irrationally glorify japan and japanese culture, I just anjoy watching anime. |
| I probably regret this post by now. |
| If the conversation topic calls for it sure. I don't hide my love for anime and Japan and Japanese culture~ But of course I do tone down how I show it depending on the person |

| no way lol maybe people I know for a while if I tell them I like anime they go "..ohh that chinesse cartoon they are bad for you they ill lower your grades ( Im the top on my class...) bla bla bla" I m not ashamed I like anime or anything dont get me wrong I ve done this few times and Im sick and tired of their bullshit thats all if you love me love me the way Iam dont give me your stupid advice I cant stand it so I dont tell them... |
| If he/she show definite signs of being a weeb, I will mention it, but only 3 of my friends know that I watch anime, because "LMAO ANIME, YOU WATCH JAPANESE CHILD PORN XDDXDXDXD" |

One of my favourite songs <3 Aimer is a goddess (please agree). Yes, I absolutely agree with you! Aimer is one of the eight million Kami - I bow twice, clap and bow once again every time my phone rings. |

| people usually know it even before I talk about it |
| I never have problems bringing it up. Of course I'm not going to mention my weeb side without any context; I'm not socially awkward like that. If someone asks what I do in my spare time, though, I'll tell them up front. I'm not ashamed one bit. However, in the rare case that the conversation becomes awkward in any way, it sure helps to be able to tell them that I'm a composer who aspires to create soundtracks for anime and video games someday. xD |

| I like watching Anime and discussing certain Anime. People in my country are ignorant though. I have met a couple of Shonen fans in my country (Mainly Naruto), but nothing special . People in my country despise movies like The Good, The Bad and The Ugly and label liking it as cringe, so you would expect them to hate on Anime. |
| Initially I do not show my weeb side at all. I do when they are close friends. |

| ofc not, but i will try to coax if out of them |
   |
| ya leave hints, and others with the same interests pick up on em, then the conversation can begin. For example, whipping out a wallet with batman's logo (or in my case Harley Quinn) lets people know that you might be into comics or movies without a word. Likewise I wear a ball cap with the Imperial Gear on it, leads to occasionally meeting new star wars fans. Finally, I'll wear something like the FMA Alchemist Cross on a necklace and other fans have then opened up with asking about anime. Ya don't beat people over the head with it, ya let people know you know the secret handshake and then be patient. Those that get it, well, you know what you have in common. Those who wonder why there's a strange blonde woman with a bat printed on my wallet, don't get it, and I don't explain it. Be berry qweit. we're hunting weeaboos! |
You can make me grow old, but you can never make me grow up! |
| I mention it if it's necessary, like if they ask me about my day and I watched anime that day, I will mention it. Avoiding mentioning I like anime is something I don't put too much emphasis on, and it's weird to me people literally avoid mentioning they like anime. It's a part of who you are, and what you enjoy, so why not express that? Why do you fear that side of you? doesn't make sense to me. It's like people are willingly admitting to being fake and closing off certain aspects about themselves just because they think being "nerdy" or into anime is so frowned upon. Just enjoy what you enjoy, and who cares if someone doesn't like it. |
| depends on how much i like them and how weeb or open minded they are if im instinctly feeling connected and comfortable interacting with them, i would definitely, but not fully since first impression matters, and i would not try to be completely open to others, let alone exposing my weeb persona to them |
| No. I don't have a weeb side. I simply mention I enjoy watching anime during my pastime. No nippon-cocksucking behaviour, because that classifies as being a weeb. |
 Truly a Divine Comedy  |
ZainKean said: --"If the other one is a weeb too". :) Yep. That's how you make friends. Usually by happening to understand some obscure anime reference they make. |
| If anime pops up in a conversation, I'm down to discuss it. That being said, flaunting or getting overly excitable about anything is usually a turn-off. |
| Unless there's a reason to, no, I don't. |
| Depends on the setting and who I'm talking to. If it's at a con and/or I'm talking to someone who's shown me their, for lack of a better term, "weeb side" first then absolutely. |
Take care of yourself |
| I'll bring it up when it comes up, no sooner no later |
   Why don’t we become monsters and really mess up this awful world? Just destroy until there’s no more evil, no more sadness, no more anything… Wouldn’t that be great? |
| My weeb side is annoying, so nop.... |
| All weebs creatures of the galaxy, hear this message. Those of you who listen will not be struck by western animation. You will no longer know hunger, nor pain. Your Anime have come to lead you now. Our strength shall serve as a luminous sun toward which all intelligence may blossom. And the impervious shelter beneath which you will prosper. However, for those who refuse our offer and cling to their western animation ways… For you, there will be great wrath. |
| With a complete stranger? Na. Plus, I dont have a weeb side. The only thing that I have that would hint at me being interested in anime is my ringtone (Kakashi's theme). |
Pullman said: What weeb side? I don't irrationally glorify japan and japanese culture, I just anjoy watching anime. Indeed. I'm not really sure what "weeb side" means. |
| I have no weeb side to either reveal or keep hidden in the first place. |
| "Laws exist only for those who cannot live without clinging onto them." -Souske Aizen "Bleach"  |
| Fuck no. You'd have to be close to me to see my 'weeb' side. |
| woah there |
| I'm currently painting a self-portrait of me wearing Chie Satonaka's jacket for class, which is something that I already wear in public. |
 |
| Only if the other person indicates they're interested in anime (or whatever) and I am too. |
| Life Is Short But Intense. |
| Not really, I don't have a weeb side of me. I just watch anime and buy merchandise but thats about it. I have a couple of anime shirts that I wear, if whoever I am hanging out with doesn't mention anything anime related I won't either. |
