I like Sailor Moon and Love Live! but I'm scared that people will think I'm a faggot. Should I become a real man and only watch badass battle shounen animes?

Not at all. If anything, I've actually gotten closer to female otakus tnx to this. Anyone can ask me for recommendations

...

Aside from fujoshi lol. I don't watch yaoi

Your problem is similar to the man who refuses to hold a girl's bag cos it makes him less manly

In other words, it's stupid lol

Don't be bruh, i watched love live, gochuumon, new game all those sorts.
Just because its mostly an all girl anime doesnt mean guys cant watch it, some arent even targeted to females and love live has got a big otaku fan base in Japan so no worries watch what you enjoy.

Isn't that how society works lol

But in all seriousness not that I was joking about that society thing a lot of people get pressured into saying they like or dislike stuff cos the majority says so. Ye it's stupid and I myself have been very open with my love for anime. It might've gotten me shunned by a lot of people but I was able to find a few who share the same interests

I'd take them over millions of fake friends any day

If you are really serious about this, then you must be really care about what other people think about you. . . i think being embrassed (to non anime watcher) for watching "girly anime" is normal. . . But, i don't think you should stop watching "girly anime" if you are interested in it. . . Just watch it when you are alone or with people you share the same interest

And for how long did it take me to realize
Just looking back at my old self.... *sighs*

I kinda hid my love for anime in elementary school and I tried to be edgy and say I didn't have any friends for the past 3 years of high school I guess I did have a few but I kind of denied them. I'm in 10th grade, final year of high/middle school (different education systems lol) now and I finally realized that, in my final year... Well, better late than never I guess and I always complained about school but I'm starting to see some hope in it. Also, I became lazier didn't think it was possible but I did and did less work lol but I ended up actually being more active and the center of the groups cos I have a quick wit and I could easily think of a good script/story since I am writing novels lol

The amount that I change every year is just so tremendous but tbh, I don't think I made any real progress til this year

Perhaps the ratio of friends:enemies overwhelemed me but like I said, now I'd take them even if it means making an enemy out of millions of people

Oh and I used to have a really short fuse but I was able to fix that

Did my puberty come late lol. My way of thinking changed within 4 months of vacation yes 4, school had some issues

Out of all these years of change, I was able to retain my love for anime which is already a miracle by itself

Why would you be scared of others knowing you're watching Love Live!? It's the only title that made me watch idol anime. And it's the only one I'm watching unless pull me to watch other idol anime. Oh by the way, I like to hold my girlfriend's shoulder bag to lift the burden. Am I a faggot now?

Watch whatever you want to watch, it doesn't matter what people think of you. You don't need to associate with people who would make fun of you, act like you're better than them. You have low self-esteem if you're embarassed and feel the need to ask questions like this. Do yourself a favour and stop conforming to society's expectations. Gender roles are a detriment to all.

no. it's nothing to be shame on. but just one advise, watch it alone. if people know that you watch that kind of thing, it's okay. if they think you are a faggot, just ignore it. unless you're a weaaboo tho....

I started out watching only the girliest of manly anime like Lucky Star and K-On! (both targeted at males but about girls) and then moved on to anime that are targeted at females like magical girl anime. My first anime was Hamtaro, a shoujo, so I think it makes sense. I'm not ashamed of this.

― C.S. Lewis

The very act of being embarrassed about what anime you watch isn't manly in the first place. Just be a mature adult and admit that you like those kinds of anime and you will likely find that everyone is okay with it.
