THE iDOLM@STER and your family

(1/11) > >>

ninjamitsuki:
What does your family think about THE iDOLM@STER and your love of it, that is, if you don't keep it a secret.

Well, when I showed my mom my newly obtained games, she pointed at Yukiho on the cover and said "She must be the smart one".

I was like "No, that one's the smart one", pointing to Ritsuko, and she said "Oh yeah, stick some glasses on her and she's automatically the smart one". XD

My Grandma's pretty much computer and video game illiterate, but I managed to teach her how to play Animal Crossing, so I showed her THE iDOLM@STER and told her to pick what character she liked best. She chose the Futami twins, and I planned to have her pick a song and outfit for them, and maybe do a few communications, since that doesn't require any hand eye coordination. When she heard the twins talk, she started saying some Japanese/Chinese sounding gibberish and laughing, but she said they were adorable. She couldn't make an outfit even though she could play Animal Crossing, she said it was too confusing for an old lady like her.

Thankfully, I don't have Dearly Stars, so I don't have to explain the whole Ryo situation.

No matter how's the best I try to explain the good points, my family see that iDOLM@STER is an idiot game for suckers, playing shit songs with the retarded cartoon characters is full of crap, etc. This possibly because of their nature which they extremely hate Japanese Moe culture. So what I can do is to just bear with it since I can only play iDOLM@STER in my living room (which has enough facility for the game).
When they first saw me play this game, they spoke like I have addict some kind of drug. They said like "We couldn't believe you enjoy with such thing. We so disappoint in you." and bah bah bah...
I wonder if anyone else has similar family's reaction like mine...

blake307:
My brother's first reaction when he saw me watching an im@s video was, "Why do you like Japanese cartoons so much?" 

My stepdad calls idolmaster a bunch of Japanese dancing girls.

Luckily for me my family doesn't mind the fact that I like Idolmaster.  My mom always let me buy some of the figures I have now.

ninjamitsuki:
Yeah. My family is very tolerant and even interested (In fact, I introduced my mom to Lucky Star and Azumanga Daioh, and she loves them, and my brother likes Papuwa and Cromartie High School) in my Japan obsession.

I must be very lucky to have parents like that. Then again, I'm a girl, so I guess it's more socially acceptable in America for a teenaged girl to play a game about dancing teenaged girls than a guy would.

Scotty:
No one in my family bats an eye at it.

Wouldn't want it any other way.
