Is anyone else scared of people finding out about your liking IM@S?
AweOfShe:
Oh, forgot to mention: My family didn't say much about the cake either. In fact, I shared some of it with them (and a couple of friends). ;)

Oh my God... you're one of those fans even 2ch'ers go o.0 at... Ok I seriously don't understand your family at all now, in the sense that I've never quite heard of a family like your's.
I mean most of the other instances of the cake/date/birthday/valentine/foreveralone pics were of guys who lived by themselves... Hmm... I guess if your parents thought of Yayoi as a cute pokemon you had collected instead of an actual romantic interest it would be more understandable... and oh my god are those CANDLES IN THAT PICTURE wtfbbq? o.o
Ok no... no... how could parents be this accepting? To someone unfamiliar with anime/manga/otaku that would look like some kind of movie serial killer shrine. You have hypnotized them or something right... maybe you're a staight-A student and star athlete (which lets them know you're doing ok?)... I don't know... I can't explain it... this is just so mysterious... nazo desu.

Maybe there's been a miscommunication here. I'm a huge IM@S fan as well, else I wouldn't be here and helping with translating. I'm not putting anyone or anyone's tastes or acts down, I'm saying that others unfamiliar with this kind of media would often have an adverse reaction to it. Also, I've seen HUNDREDS of these kinds of shrines already, usually 2ch'ers will put out a photo collage whenever a lot of them are created at once, such as on a birthday, but I hadn't thought that any English speakers were doing this, let alone so brazenly and in mixed company.
I mean in some of those photos, fans will try to spoon-feed the character on the screen, or show filled out marriage forms they got from the county clerk that they'd filled out with those chars' name on it, also they will sometimes purchase a new bed/cradle or surrender their own bed so the setup is... "resting" or... um.. something like that... on top of the bed, kind of making it seem like the char were laying on bed in front of them.
Heck I like Yayoi a lot too and I think the setup AweOfShe had there is cute. But from my own experience I can't imagine people being so accomodating to something like this. Remember that recent post about someone screaming about "RAPE GAMES" when they went over to check one of the forumers here playing a hand-held IM@S game? That's the kind of reaction that would be expectable, that's all.

I'm just finding your lack of faith in what you love...
Not that I want to disagree with you, those comments do bothering.
But don't let those blinded people back down your interests.
And if you know the people around you are blinded so much, just try to avoid them at all cost.
