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

[Benpc91]

It was a subtitle the sure had been using for a few months, so I didn't have a say I in it. However, you know how much make fans there are when it comes to iM@S. That's most likely the reason.

Is it really surprising as an American?

[Treemotan]

I'm not really scared about it. People have pretty much got the point that I like what I like. I'll browse iM@S videos on NicoNicoDouga at school. I'll play Dearly Stars on my DS in public locations. I don't usually openly blab about it though- only if someone asks. I've actually sparked some interest amongst some of my fellow musicians in band.

As for my parents. . . They generally don't care. My younger brother's in that obnoxious eighth-grader phase where he has to apparently hate any and all things that aren't Madden or Call of Duty. . . Only for me to produce a volume of Ouran High School Host Club that he hasn't read yet. That will usually shut him up and keep him busy for a bit, locking his door and hiding in the closet and generally pretending he doesn't exist until he's done reading.

But yeah, my parents don't usually mind. My dad will even buy me much raunchier games on occasion despite me being underage. iDOLM@STER is very old news to them, though I plan to get my own copy of iM@S 2 this summer. :3

Because it's all about the ladies for the men!

I see... thank you for the clarification.

lol Lucky Star Konata moment @_@ \amdizzy

Treemotan, this is exactly the same for me, but I just became of age!!

I did use my parents to buy many an eroge though. ^^

LOL.Let me guess here and say your brothers have attitude problems.I actually play iM@S SP more intensly than Call of Duty.

Eh, I'll be legal in four months. Then no one shall keep me from my porn.

Best part about my dad is that he knows full well what he's buying me. My mom doesn't. She's usually too busy playing StarCraft to notice what I'm playing in my room.

Partially comes from him being a middle-school boy who happens to have many extremely judgmental "friends". You know, the kind that beat you up for doing your own thing and treating you like a bro when you do what they do. Very few know of his secret love for Shoujo manga.

I also managed to get him to watch some of the iDOLM@STER anime with me. . . And managed to get a few band friends interested. Sort of payback for them making me a Brony.

Wow... the times they are a changin'...

I'm still young enough looking that I get carded all the time when I buy lotto tickets, but holy crap...

When I was growing up my parents had a small padlock that they put through the hole on the tongs at the end of a power cord to keep me off the computer if I was on it too long... well my parents are East Asian of the proto-typical education-worshipping kind but still... I can't imagine if my parents had been gamers too or something like that... I just... I don't know... hmm...

God bless my older brother for getting them into gaming. Most of my peers agree I have the coolest parents ever.    They actually let me do a lot I'm not legally allowed to do yet, and you can actually see a lot of their logic. For example, they do actually let me drink alcohol. Reasons my mom cited were: 1. I'm 17, so she's fairly certain my liver's developed enough to handle it. 2. The '21 years old' drinking age is stupid. As my mom put it, "If you're old enough to vote and die for your country, then you're old enough to sit down and have a goddamn drink." and 3. She knows full well I'm not the type to drink with the purpose of getting drunk. Interestingly enough, my dad's against me having a shot of Jack Daniels but not against buying me pornographic material, whilst with my mom its the other way around.

But yeah, iM@S is fine by either of them. And my teachers, apparently, since I like to sneak things I like into my school projects. Like, I had to make some videos for Sociology and Government. So, I chose to make them with MMD. . . Using iDOLM@STER models.

[kaeru-P]

Lol legal age for drinking here is 18 and some shops do allow as low as 16 of course legally they say 18 but at the off-chance some does allow 16 as a drinking age given there is an old enough companion.

Okay back to topic xD back in highschool during my 1st and 2nd years Id prolly be embarrassed but after reaching my 4th year of highschool I learned a lot to just not give a damn about what other people think. I tend to chose friends to that I can relate to not friends whom are just friends on the surface. Even so I've had friends who were not into anime and the likes and knows that I love stuff like this especially with the advent of facebook, they do tease me about it but they also tease everyone else for just the heck of it .

Atm in college most of my friends are female since more commonly more approachable ironically in college some males are just snobbers for some odd reason >.> and I met them since they are into anime and the likes too.

And I do agree there are much worse things to walk into eroges xD and sometimes in my classes you'd find some girls actually playing them in the middle of the class xDDDD

That's kinda horrible since he can't do anything or he will face conflict and he's being pressured by his "friends".Well there are very few things to do about it and he has to keep being himself and you also .

[NaitoNii]

My parents don't care. Dad only often whines about the fact that they got the body of a women but the face of a girl XD
Mom loves to look at it. She just loves the artwork.

A friend of mine owns a Hoshii Miki figure but that's about it. =)

Your dad should share where he got his credentials in 3D polygon-biology from. Do you remember which idol(s) he was talking about?

He was talking about anime girls in general =) Mostly Yoko from Gurren Lagann since a friend of mine showed her to him and he made that commentary.

I think it would be social suicide.
My parents know that I listen to Japanese pop music, but I don't think they know about iDOLM@STERS. I am sure no one I know nor anyone I ever meet will know about it, but I still desperately hide it, except from a few times bringing it up around close friends... I wish I knew someone personally I could confide my love of iM@S too, but I guess you guys are all I got xP

I'm very much scared of someone who doesn't understand it finding out, but I'll take that risk and keep rocking math class to CHANGE!!

You sound like Kirino from Oreimo!!
Just relax...there's nothing to be ashamed of...it's not like you're doing anything illegal. ^^
