Is anyone else scared of people finding out about your liking IM@S?
AweOfShe:
Well, I have nothing much to say on it. All I can really say is that I have really cool family and friends, for knowing that my hobbies don't get in the way of my priorities in life. ;D
TaKai:
I'm paranoid.
I do get some flak from my sis and her father about not living up to the expectations of a stereotypical adolescent male; intelligent, diligent, respectful, and tough. They seem to view my iM@S interest (as well as my Anime and Manga interest) as something that conflicts with what they expect of me. My sis' mother is otherwise more tolerant about it, though she herself asks questions as to why I want such a game.
My friends, who all pretty much were raised on cartoon violence, hollywood explosions, and random mainstream pop music, would be intolerant and berate me or make fun of me for having such an interest.
Oh well.

Calm down here. You're basing a situation through what you've seen which doesn't necessarily apply here.
Edit: Look, there are people there that will take a look at this and scream out and do whatever. But there's people out there that take a step back and just try and consider everything before they make a judgement. AweOfShe's friends and family seem to be like that. Plus, who says no to cake?

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.

My parents let me import my eroge.
I am a lady.
They are okay with this.

Yes, that's true of anything though, and all we ever have to go on is what we've read and known and experienced so that's all we ever have from which to infer conclusions at any given moment. Hence my caveat of "My own experience". If I somehow communicated that I had a firm conviction and belief in such conclusions then that was a miscommunication, I did not and do not presume to express the idea that this is absolutely how a vast majority of people should or could react.

Yes, it is surprising, but in a good way, that there are people who will have an open-mind towards something unfamiliar in the way IM@S is. I get the feeling that AweOfShe is loaded, and has tons of IM@S loot, and an open-minded family and friends, and also cake... :)
