Is anyone else scared of people finding out about your liking IM@S?
SakuraMaxX:
My dad was messing around with me. I don't think my parents really care too much, but I still find it awkward to bring up things about anime or such with them.
My friends think it's awkward as hell, but they don't really care either since I pretty much play the same stuff they play (Battlefield 3 and the sorts) too.

Yeah... I don't know that any parent can call their kid a pedophile and have it just be "messing around". I know if I were a parent I might on occasion think something like... "My son's not able to make any grandkids with those girls in the tv is he... *sigh* so much for being a grandpa... Guess I better start asking co-workers if they have a daughter or niece my son's age, hopefully I can introduce him and they'll like each other... otherwise..."
Setsuna:
I do work for the Australian Classification Board. (You know, those guys who put ratings in Australia, for their games) and from time to time, I get contracted to do some of their police work.
Namely the stuff that either State police (Victoria's strangely guilty as all hell for asking really often) or the Australian Federal Police refer on for classification.
In short, it's stuff that most people get arrested for watching, consequently the lockdown. (I might add the rules are stricter here, and I tend to talk about 'Technical RC' a lot, and not in a nice way either. Sometimes I'm convinced Australia's full of prudes.)
Among people who usually wait in the lounge room or wait outside my house for five minutes while I pack up include police officers of all types.
Most people don't like keeping impatient police officers waiting. They got the hint after the first couple of visits that I WILL make them wait, because I take my operational security seriously.
It also probably says something about me, to be able to do it for a couple of years.

Well, sounds like I don't want to get on your bad side.
@Sakura: I wish I had a Chihaya F-15E.
Setsuna:
Well, it's one reason why I get worried of people walking in the door. One of the others includes the fact I worry if anyone walks in during a freelance commission is the fact I can go to jail for exposing people to the material I've been commissioned to write a report on.
Then again, I don't think I've told many people what I DO as a sideline either, and I'm fairly sure that if anyone ever walked in while I work, I'd probably be seen as one of the sickest (insert string of explicitives here) individuals on the planet, who somehow can actually claim it they watch it for work.
But on a serious note, I'm more or less harmless apart from that. (And possibly if I ever go rogue, get other people arrested by putting illegal material on their computers, but that's a professional archive thing I have to maintain.)
