What does your family think of you playing games, reading manga, or watching anime?

[KenShjIN]

They know it...and at least they accept it,tried so many time to explain that animes are not cartoons....bored of that so its fine they just accept it.My Mom once found an issue of Animania (famous magazine in germany) with some lolis in swimsuits on the cover....she wanted to talk about that next day because she thought it was some child porn stuff !....i tried to explain then...and so many times after but my family well...they don`t say but i know sometimes they thought im kinda weirdo....from this day on they´ll just accept...its ok,now i don´t care what they actually thinking but sometimes it makes me angry when people don´t even try to understand !

 

[MsBloodyFallen]

They know its my hobby, interest and part of my lifestyle - but I don't think they would say anything about it, since they had similar interests when they were my age.

 

[Miina]

"There she is watching those cartoons again"

Tho they have no problems with it, watching cartoon/anime is a part of my family. Weekend breakfasts feel empty without them.

 

[Vile]

haha NO I wasn't planning to do that xD Just the colors....but now since you mention it, why the H&^% not! if they play this, then I would :P Better yet, if [MENTION=18465]renano[/MENTION]; sings it then definitely.

Spoiler: ...

humm when I saw this video I got the desire to have these girls whispering me baka, baka .... XD



My mother and father know that I watch but I do it more than 10 years XD, play games since he was eight years now I have thirty years. my mother implied earlier, my father never cared for the rest of the family do not know and I prefer it that way.

My mom thinks I'm too into them and tells me to stop spending money on them so much.

 

[Stahlschild]

Lol, I am argueing so much with my family about that.
Especially with my uncle.
He thinks all Gamers will eventually kill people in their school or are just lazy, dumbass bimbos or something.
Even this answers of him are a testament that he's quite retarded in this matter and just repeats the shit they broadcasting in television.

I am mostly playing Nintendo games though. Pretty hardcore and violent shit if you ask me, right? xD

 

[saite]

My fam doesn't mind. My sister used to be into some anime series and video games, but not so much anymore. My dad likes a few anime movies and my mom will join us in watching anime movies occasionally. As for the plethora of anime, manga, and games I enjoy on my own, they usually leave me be and let me do my own thing

 

[mrluco]

same here my family, parents doesnt mind it much. Watch me grow up on DBZ as a kid, i ssj 2 Gohan for halloween. Most of my friends dont care, or dont judge and some are much into it as i am

 

[inexora]

It's a hobby. I see no reason why they should interfere. c:
And well, my brothers are pretty much the same as me so-

 

[Shiroiify]

Mom & Dad say it's childish--
But my little bro&sis doesn't mind it

 

[Checkmate]

my family is fine with me playing eroge and collecting onahole, as long as I keep my promise of giving them atleast 3 grandkids. I don't have many years left and I haven't found a partner so far.

thats a hard promise to keep, good luck with that one but your not the only one

on another note, its been very interesting how other families react to this and there friends as well

 

[Fernik]

Right now family doesn't mind at all. Thanks to the internet, anime, manga and games are a bit more mainstream and accepted now.

But in my teenager years, well let's I just say that I was just a social outcast for my tastes.

 

[Lord Zero]

Man, you seem to live in a whole different world. -_-u I feel like the current discussion doesnt apply to you at all...

Mmm, well, my family has deserted me and left out to fend on my own. I think that they are pretty disappointed already, so they may be actively triying to
forget that i ever existed.

 

[paK0]

When I was younger they though I would grow out of it, so far that hasn't happened =)

But on the other hand they don't really mind, as long as I don't fuck up university I can spend my free time however I want.

 

[Gaara29]

My family doesn't care, some of my friends watch anime, but overall the area I live in is a very religious and 'wholesome' type of community that would frown upon it. Like, REALLY religious. We have tons of churches and stuff...I usually only go out in my free time anymore to go for walks/jogs and to walk to a couple of local places.

 

[cherryvickx]

omg i can't fathom how terrible it used to be as a kid and growing up as an adult. they always say it makes you stupid, lazy, etc. but as an adult i can say they dont really care as much anymore because the world has become so technologized and they're more accepting of it now. you should watch on netflix a documentary on video games history. pretty enlightening. :)

 

[eLvolight]

I get this from my friends very often: "You're watching cartoons? Hey, grow up man and get a life!"
I think this is common opinion whenever your friends catch you watching anime or reading manga.

And family does not really care abt it.

 

[aden071]

i think my family doesn't care about that, they only care about my little brother and something like that, and my friends... some of my friends are watching anime, but the other think i'm weird, and doesn't want to be friends .-.

 

[Citri]

(✿◡‿ฺ◡) Family ain't got no time to care 'bout it except when they think it distracts me from my studies.
(✿◕‿ฺ◕) Friends in high school either don't give a damn too or they also like anime/manga/games.
(✿☉‿ฺ☉) Friends in uni thinks it's "nerdy"/weird that I even have to hide my doodles in class to prevent them from showing others.

 

[|♚|KK|♚|]

Everyone in my family knows that I like anime&manga,and they like it too lol time to time watching anime with my brother is fun :D

 

[aienma]

They actually hate me for playing game and watching anime. I remember my mother tears one of a comic i made when i was 12. Until today even though I can freely do anything i want in my room . I felt scared nevertheless .Scared she might come behind my back and critize and confiscate all anime related.

 

[dawnotaku]

my mom always says that Im wasting her money for the bill XD but she accepted anime longtime ago, like who doesn't grow up with anime?
I think Im the only one reading romance manga in my family ~ as for games everyone sure plays them!

Friends prefer reading novels and BL manga over anime x.x

 

[LemonMadness]

Actually my parents are ok with that (they approves that "anime" is different from "cartoon" so I'm pretty free in that way.
I have some friends in school that watch anime too so I'm pretty fine.
It seems that everyone's comprensive here (even if in my society anime/manga are seen as childish cartoons/comic books).

 

[Deleted member 75628]

I started with anime , manga when i was a teen now am an adult but my father was against and still is against it. Especially because he is an engineer and master has a club for wing chun so he thinks i'm wasting my money and time on this. My mom doesn't care , other family doesn't really know about it . I'm the only child so no brothers or sister i have cousins and there ok with it.
