Open or Closed Otaku?

[Mikiya]

Are you guys open or closed Otaku?

If you are closed - how far do you go to "prevent" people from know?
Do you only hide it from parents or also from certain friends/at work - or are you open with it?

And lastly, if you are closed - why? Becaues you think its embarassing, because of work (maybe not fitting?) or because other reasons, like because you are/want to become politician or similar and dont want "media" to bitchslap you with ?


I´m curious.

Being ashamed of your interests is probably a sign you shouldn't pursue those interests.

that's dumb, most people who are 'ashamed' of being interested in animu thangs is because most other people will laugh at you for it or call it stupid

That's really only true if you're one of those nerds with a lisp who wears a naratu headband and does kung fu moves to

humiliate himself

impress

high school girls. Or you watch for the lolis. Which is just fucked up, man.

I used to crossdress too. I have my mother's face, but unfortunately I cannot go full trap because my father's genes of hairyness. I would sooner make a fine terrorist.

There are way more reasons to hide it, than beeing ashamed though

All my friends to some extent know I like anime, mangas, video games and stuff because they do too. Others I don't bother to tell them cuz they don't give a damn about it ^^' But yeah nothing to be ashamed of. There are people with more awekward hobbies...
