To be honest I'm wondering this too. OP, why on earth would you feel so strongly that you can't tell anybody? (And if the people you know have genuinely made me you feel that they would reject you for watching anime then damn, you need new friends and a new bf.)

[(Anonymous)]

I wouldn't tell someone I'm into manga. I don't want to be seen as an otaku.

[violence4.livejournal.com]

I understand not telling just a random person in the street or a casual friend, but would you really not tell your significant other? I would feel if I couldn't tell them what I was into, they weren't the right person :/

I know it's weird. :/

[violence4.livejournal.com]

Sorry, I wasn't trying to call you weird. I'm not particularly up on all the ins and outs of anime and manga, but reading your comments and other comments on this secret is making me think I had no idea how badly some people could react to its fans. That's totally bizarre and a real shame, if some people react so strongly that fans feel they can't be open about liking that stuff :(

[dragonsofeden.livejournal.com]

It's a backlash we've seen in recent years -- overenthusiastic anime fans ("weeaboos") have been held up as evidence that anime/manga fans are all maladjusted mouthbreathers. The truth is, EVERY fandom has socially awkward people, many of whom are perfectly lovely individuals once they've had a chance to grow. Demonizing anime/manga is just the new thing that insecure nerds do to build themselves up ("at least I'm not as bad as THOSE LAME ANIME PEOPLE").

[(Anonymous)]

Oh for fuck's sake. Have we raised a generation of nerds without balls? If someone is so shallow that they will judge you by what you read, versus how you act, then they are not a decent friend in the first place.
