Is anyone else scared of people finding out about your liking IM@S?

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.)

Wait a second, if this stuff is so sick and horrible, why do the police need a specialist to give it classification? Can't they themselves just add "violent beastiality" or "snuff film" or "actual gangrape film" themselves? You're writing a report? I think I've seen one of these text reports before as a court document pdf that was being shared around on 4chan for its shock value, it spells out in detail the various acts and gestures that occur in the scenes, is that the kinds of reports you mean?
As for Australians being prudes, I don't know about that, but some of the censorship laws that have been signed into place by legislators in Australia really do seem strange... like that law about no more A-cup porn permitted to be filmed? It's not difficult to kind of see the angle they were going for with that... but it doesn't seem like an effective measure to take. Seems more like grand-standing and appealing to constitutients' fears for political gain, amirite?

True story from an... FBI agent (I think), cybercrime division I heard one day.
FBI: "OPEN UP, FBI!"
From inside the house: *ker-chack* *shotgun blast*
Occupant: "Come on in!"
Back on topic, I really don't take steps to announce to the world my Idolm@ster fandom... otaku are wide and varied, and I accept that most people I meet aren't really going to be into the same stuff I am. In fact, I only know two people that would have any idea what to get me for a present.
I think my family knows that I really like video games and anime, and they're cool with it. I don't know what they'd think if they saw me playing Im@s, if they liked it that'd be cool. If not, meh.

Nah, I'm a guy, and I live in Canada, lol.
My dad saw me playing some Im@s 1 and LFY back in '08, and all he ever asked me was what the girls were saying. Then in March or April of '11, when he saw me play it again, all he said was, "You're playing this again?". Then the Portstation version comes out on October, and the only comment he made about that was, "I thought you had this already". That's the only comments I ever heard from my dad (or from anyone in my family for that matter) about the games.
I played Im@s Dearly Stars and SP plenty of times on the bus, and at work. Either no one notices what I play, or they just don't care to comment on it. XD
I don't think anyone has noticed me playing the G4Us so far either, but I imagine no one would care. I only really played it in front of my best friend, but that was 'cause when he was over, he wanted pictures of the twins. :P
Also, my nieces love S4U. ;D

Oh god just remembered my worst incident involving iM@S.
I was playing iM@S Perfect Sun during lunch break at school, and I was just talking to my friends going "Damn I really can't understand Japanese." Some random girl at my table was like "Oh! I can!" and proceeds to look to see if she could help translate. She looks for a second and suddenly yells "OH GOD HE'S PLAYING ONE OF THOSE GAMES WHERE YOU RAPE GIRLS" and I'm just sitting there dumbfounded while some people at surrounding tables stare at me for a moment. There's a good reason why I don't like playing games in public.

God damn, LOL. I guess I should consider myself lucky.
