Um. Hi. So, I basically made my account just for this one topic. I'm a really young anime fan and I like Yuri anime. I know it's wrong but I like it very much and I'm not new to this stuff. So, I come from a very religious house and if my parents caught me watching Yuri anime, I'd be dead. Not really but you know... What should I do to avoid my parents from finding out? What to do if they do find out? I'd probably be knocked off the Internet forever if they do. I need help fast!

-Position your computer desk somewhere that when someone walks in they can't see your screen.
-Lock the door.
-Watch with your phone
If they find out then

Oh my. There's nothing wrong with yuri. It's pretty and it isn't even sexual most of the time (unless that is what you're speaking of).
Maybe use incognito and if your parents saw you, say "oh nooo all the boys in anime look like girls" and show them the traps of the community (i.e Totsuka Saika or Haku from Naruto).

But I will be the nice guy and answer your question.First watching yuri or yaoi is not wrong.It's called fetish.Personally i like watching yuri too.If you really can't watch it just use ig mode for chrome and watch it with phone.I guess this should be ok.Thing is it depends of gender too.If you are male there is no problem for that.If female you should talk about this with you parents.Oh my god I write a topic and didn't trolled at all.Sorry I should do that.

I Just Assume Your Gender. DUN DUN DUN.

Oh, silly Purplestarclub. Yuri is not wrong. Yuri is justice!
But point is, try and find a place in your house where people can't immediately see your computer screen. For instance, your bedroom, with your door facing the back of your computer. If your parents are the kind that don't knock, then learn the keyboard shortcuts for whatever video player you use. For example, I use MPC-HC. The Esc key takes it out of fullscreen and pauses it, and then I can Alt-Tab into a different program (usually Firefox) to save my bacon in less than one second. I'm in college, so I don't live with my parents anymore, but it's handy for when my roommate enters the room out of the blue. When the coast is clear: Alt-Tab, Space, Alt-Enter. Done.
This next part will be more believable depending on how old you are. If you're anywhere between, say, age 13 or 18, then there's only one thing you can do if you get caught red-handed (assuming your yuri anime is of the non-hentai variety): own it. You are a yuri fan, and you are proud! You are old enough to think for yourself, tell fiction from reality, and recognize pure love when you see it. Don't be ashamed of your taste in anime. You never know - it might not be the end of the world.
And incidentally, from one yuri fan to another, do you know any good ones? The only (yuri-focused) anime with decent yuri that I've been able to find are Sakura Trick and the SonoHana OVA. Yuru Yuri doesn't count because the yuri takes a backseat to the comedy!
Apologies for the wall of text. May your future be filled with beautiful lilies.

If you're a guy, just say you like girls and double the girls is good. No problem there.

If you're a girl, well... just don't let them find out?

Thanks for the tips. I watch Aoi Hana and Sasameki Koto. They're really Slice of Life but it works. Although, the anime ends in the middle and you'd have to read the manga instead for the rest.

I also came from a religious house and I myself am religious... I'm probably dead if they ever find out that I watch hentai although I think my dad already knows, maybe my mom as well cos they couldn't srsly have believed me when I said that my dick was just itchy lol

Well, even if we have all those in common, I think my parents are generally more accepting

They went with me to an anime shop and while my mom did have things to say about what I bought, which is an oppai mousepad, she didn't get angry or anything and it's pretty much on display in my room now. We use it for jokes sometimes as well. I have also shown pics of dakimakuras to my mom to get her to buy me one but while she did agree, she didn't agree to getting a credit card just for that specially since my country's shipping policy is horrible and that's perfectly understandable since my country's shipping system is indeed shit and we have experienced it first hand already. No stores sell those in my shiity country

I didn't have any problem with watching the Fate Kaleid series with my speakers on full blast and on my big screen TV I did turn down the volume for monsume though cos the neighbors might hear it and it's way too suggestive

Well, if you do get caught, try bullshitting your way out of it like saying that it's just an ad or just keep quiet, don't say a word. For what it's worth, my itchy dick excuse worked or not

My parents are at the point where when the subject of who my crush is comes up, they just say that it's that anime girl wearing only underwear cos they have seen me watching anime with a girl like those (I reckon they're talking about Nami, just a hunch) they're wrong though, it's ferris eris and she never had a scene like that but whatever

Is there no chance that they would be as accepting as my parents?

What's your religion btw? I'm a born again Christian and so is my family ofc lol

Your parents are just mad because the fanfics they read are over 2000 years old and their jesus action figures are lame.
But I have to admit, parents and anime are a very funny combination. There was this time when I was casually watching danmachi and my mom walked in the room and asked me if I was in love with Hestia, LMAO

There is nothing wrong with liking Yuri, or Yuri in general OP. :>

If you're that scared of your parents finding out, I'd start with some basic things like watching with headphones on, clearing the Yuri related pages of your browser history. Keep an ear out for your parents movements, if you think they're about to enter your room, change your tab to something different.

Though, as far as I know, most Yuri isn't even that sexual.

I come from a religious household too man. Dad's a pastor and mom's a missionary. Don't say watching Yuri is wrong. When you mean you are a young anime fan, I take it you mean your age. I remember when my parents said Harry Potter was from the devil. They caught me watching it on TV. I simply said "its entertainment, nothing wrong with entertaining my self". Just like your Yuri fetish. Hell, it would be even better if they caught you watching Yuri. You get to sit down, explain the finer points of romance between two women/young girls and the ramifications it has on your religious community. Educational for everyone in the household if you ask me.

Well, you can do either three of these things:

1. Remove the source of your problem

Seem extreme at first, only if you just consider cons of realising it without weighing the pros. Without the source, there is no problem. Yes, your parents is the source of your problem. You can try to remove them by force through hostile takeover; or a less effective solution would be holding talks between relevant parties, hopefully reaching a mutual understanding and agreement.

2. Reduce the impact of your problem

Second is a bit of a conundrum as you are not trying to solve the problem at its core but rather work around it. The question now is not on solving the problem, it is on understanding the problem. In here, you don't emphasise on understanding why your parents want to catch you doing satanic practices but more on understanding how your parents catch you performing these actions. By knowing how your enemy moves, you already win the battle.

3. Ignore the problem

Self-explanatory. If you don't consider it a problem, it is not a problem.

you know its wrong?..... theres NOTHING wrong with homosexual anime.... lol

anyway..... the exact same way you'd hide that you watch anything from them, set the history so it deletes automatically, or just delete it yourself

only watch at night when theyre asleep or when they aren't home, idk, ive NEVER been caught looking at anything inappropriate online and ive been doing it for like 14 years lol.... i mean now it wouldn't matter, but growing up it was sometimes the struggle to be slick, but we always managed to get away lol

Clear your history every single time
Watch at night
Don't download episodes lmao

Also if you get caught then just stare at them straight in the eye and say "please accept me for who I am." If they beat your ass then leave them, live your life as a Buddhist monk in Tibet (because at least they don't judge you for those kinds of things) and become a yurifag out of spite.

This is how you deal with shitty, conservative parents:





But since you're considering it wrong yourself you might be gone too far already :(.
Don't let those christian values make you feel shitty about yourself, even though that's what they're there for. That's really all the advice I can give you.

Explain to them that in Japan it's considered socially acceptable for young girls to show romantic feelings towards each other even if they're actually straight. This rule actually isn't in use anymore, but it's because of this that yuri and yaoi are so common.

If you're Christian then god is actually fairly neutral towards lesbians. He said at one point "even the girls were having sex with each other" as if that were a sign of bad things happening and he also said that lesbians were to die natural deaths but they won't go to heaven or hell, they'll simply fade off into the abyss. Contrast this to gay men where at the very moment you find out that they are gay you must invite the entire community over to throw rocks at them until they die and after they will burn in hell for eternity. I would say that god has nothing against lesbians, or at least very little compared to how much he hates gays.

Show them some manga time kirara to show them how beautiful yuri can be. I recently finished Sweet Magic Syndrome and the yuri adds to the diabetes.
