| Nah, I don't hide my interests at all. It doesn't seem to have any negative impact, since people keep me around. |
✧ |
| I tell most people that I end up talking to a fair amount, but I don't like getting into discussions about anime, I find it really boring and annoying. So I end up regretting telling some people I watch anime when they actually start talking to me about it |
 |
| Nope. There are a lot of people who still likes anime in univ.I even found fujoshi-alliance. Well, there are some people who curious about anime. Give them easy-to-digest anime and they start hooked up. |

I have a bunch of anime stickers all over my binders and stuff, but I won't start talking to somebody about anime unless they initiate the conversation. |
| Too lazy to make a signature. F*** it. |

| I don't hide it, though I probably wouldn't bring it up or talk about it unless someone approaches me with the topic first. |
 |
| i'm quite open about it, because there are a lot of fans in my school so it's accepted. |
| I don't hide it, but I've never been asked if I watch anime. |
| I rarely get asked but whenever I do I tell the truth. I don't really talk to people all that much anyway and I'm not really close to anyone so it shouldn't bother them. The people I do tell are actually interested and I when talking to someone I don't bring anime up randomly. If it does bother them and they judge me harshly then they are ignorant and just plain stupid. I hate the backlash anime fans get just because of how some people see anime as just hentai, so they think that anime fans are just a bunch of perverted weeaboos. I've heard it many times irl. It bothers me but eventually but I just shake it off because they are just idiotic dumbasses. I hate how being an anime fan causes this stigma because of how harsh others can be and it makes me feel bad, which is why I don't hide it because I don't want watching anime to be seen as a bad thing. |

| Similar to other people here, i don't hide it, but i don't go telling people about it either. It's just stuff i watch, why bother talking about it unless the other person is interested. I have received funny looks when people find out i watch it though :\ |
 |
| Solution proposition: Make friends who have similar interests OR aren't assholes who will judge you for your hobbies. Find it in yourself to not be embarrassed for liking a form of TV shows. TL;DR: Basically, be friends with other nerds or whatever. And no I don't, because ^ |
| My friends know but I don't tell people here in Japan because the stereotype of otaku is really bad. It's just for the best to keep it hidden. |
| I hide it sure, don't want to be ostracised from my community. Besides, I'd never get a another boyfriend again if people knew I watched anime. |
  There's a lady who's sure All that glitters is gold And she's buying a stairway to heaven When she gets there she knows If the stores are all closed With a word she can get what she came for Oh oh oh oh and she's buying a stairway to heaven |
| Nope, don't think I've ever hid the fact I liked anime in real life. |

| I don't hide it but I don't openly show it either. |
Soul-Master said: Thanks for saving me the same amount of time it took to write this reply instead of writing my own version of the same opinion. <3Well... I don't really hide it. But I'm not open about it either. Some people know, and I don't deny it but that is it. |
 |
| I don't hide it, but I don't advertise it either. More than half of the members of my group of friends watch anime, too (some more casually than others), so with them there's no reason to hide it. It's not a conversation topic I'd like to have with people at my workplace or school acquaintances though. |
密室殺人はなぜ美しいのか。 |
| I didn't hide it but I didn't go around announcing it either like some people do. It became easier when I quit anime in general "Do you like anime?" *thinks back to all those wasted hours watching highschool harem shows* "No." |
 |
| When I've started I didnt tell anybody. But then I stopped giving about other people So they all know and they'll live with that fact, so will they |
 |
| I tell everyone, even those who are not interested in it, or people who are not asked, do not hide anything, I think I'm proud of it somehow |
| I don't bring it up but I don't hide the fact that I watch it. I have recommended anime films to people and a few shows, though. |
| no one really knows in my life except for the people that are really close to me in my life. Not that I feel the need to share my personal life with other people im not close with anyways |
| I never bring it up. People doesn't have reason to ask either. If anyone bother to ask what is your hobby, it smells problems. Job interviews do that often. Also stupid topic on date. All answers you give are often wrong |
| Signature removed. It was too good for this cruel world. |
| I don't, I even own three anime themed shirts. The subject just doesn't come up very often. |
 |
| It's one of those interests I would avoid mentioning if I ever got full-time employment. Anime still has a social stigma attached to it. The only people I mention my interest to are some friends and family. Beyond that, I'd prefer being an relatively unknown introvert in real life. |
| I don't hide it, but I don't talk about anime all the time either. |
| Nope. No reason to. As long as you're not a creeper I don't think anyone cares. DeadSnow24th said: It's one of those interests I would avoid mentioning if I ever got full-time employment.

Dude at my workplace has pokemon tattoos. Everyone loves him even the non-anime fans. |
| I don't mind, as I have gotten some of my friends to use MAL. However, I have no need to bring up such topics unless asked. |
 |
| All of the men at work know I like anime, but only because they've said they like it first and I've chimed into the conversation. None of the women know because women tend to be far more judgmental and... yeah. I don't want them knowing. If anyone from work ever found my profile here I'd be very upset. They don't need to know I'm this big of a loser. |
  |
| Yes, I hide it. My family found out I watch anime and started thinking I'm weird, so I think everyone else will be the same way. Plus where I live I'm pretty sure I'm the only one into anime. I don't want to be judged by something that I like, so I'll avoid the topic, even if it's brought up by another person, it could be a trap to be made fun of. |
Professional MyAnimeList Welcomer. I prefer subbed anime over dubbed. Looking for some short story manga suggestions to get me started. |
| I actually hide it from people who don't know the difference between animes and cartoons, because they'll find it "childish". |
 |
| I think you're wrong OP. The topic of anime isn't awkward at all and you shouldn't be ashamed of it. I never hide it; got no reason to. People who like it as well will talk with me about anime; people who don't will simply say "Okay, that's nice" and that's it. |
 I respect your opinion as long as you respect mine. |
| Well I don't talk about it but everybody knows anyway since I have pin badges with my husbandos all over my backpack. |
daky-kun said: I think you're wrong OP. The topic of anime isn't awkward at all and you shouldn't be ashamed of it. Like most things that really depends on what you watch doesn't it |
|
| I live in a predominantly Asian community so anime is pretty common place here. Do people know? Yes. I freely talk about it. |
Spooks said: Like most things that really depends on what you watch doesn't it Well, yes. If someone mostly watches hentai with tentacle rape and such, I doubt they'll scream it from the rooftops. |
I respect your opinion as long as you respect mine. |
| Hell no. Why should I hide who I am? People aren't required to like my hobby but I'll be damned if I'm shamed into hiding it. |
| I just wish these dang people know what the term weeaboo means. Using it the wrong way just makes me mad. |
 |
| I am in a community that anime is look on as the common tentacle porn trope. So talking about anime is hard except for the big three or dragon ball z. However I have to keep my knowledge on a down low because people stopped watching very early on so I have to remember the dub version of Naruto of Rock Lee vs Garra in the exams. |

| Not really, no. I have a few anime related posters on my walls, and my family is aware of it. But at the same time, I don't particularly talk about it just because my siblings tend to make fun of it a bit. So yeah I don't hide it, but I don't really mention it that often IRL. |
Anna_Cats said: I don't like anime. I don't know what I'm doing on this fucking website anymore. please kill me. someone please kill me. Those are my sentiments exactly. Ha, ha. |
| No, I don't try to hide the fact. The place I live in, there is actually quite a lot of people interested in anime. I freely express my love for anime~ As with family, my parents were the ones who got me into anime, so yeah... |
  |
| From time to time. Some people in my country think that being anime watcher is absolutely waste of time. Funniest individuals even think that watching anime normally leads to mental disorders. |
 |
| The only thing I hide is ecchi anime from my parents. |
 |
| If they bring it up first or I'm in a setting like Japanese class (everyone there watches some anime, obviously). But I don't usually go out of my way to bring it up or hide it, even though a lot of people watch anime here. It's because they're mostly casual watchers (mainstream) or really into certain genres (otome/fujoshi/shoujo). 1) I can only say so much about Utapri or Shokugeki no Souma. =__= 2) In my experience, people who flaunt it try to convert everyone. :/ |
