THE iDOLM@STER and your family
redhairedking:
No one else knows about my love for im@s, though if they did I know for a fact they would not approve.

I've never come across anyone that's ever had a problem with iM@S, most of my friends and family are pretty accepting of everything I suppose. My entire family's always been pretty supportive of an individual holding unique interests, just not interests forced upon one by others. Occasionally I'll get silly questions out of general ignorance from the foster kids, though they usually are more curious than judgmental. Either way, one can only try to teach these girls that holding your own interests is important. It's up to that particular kid if she'll succeed in such an endeavor or not.
It's not as simple as that I suppose, but the statement stands. Only one girl that lived here tried to insult me with my interests, to which I enjoyed a hearty laugh. She was already the exact opposite of an individual, and due to her misappropriated love for herself (and only herself)... lasted less than two months under this roof.
Other than that I make no attempt to hide what I enjoy, but I am not one to gush on to another about what I suspect to be my personal interest only. My distantly-related neighbor is the only video gamer/anime fan I know in this town, and his interests are far different than my own. He loves FPS games, I generally don't. He likes pretty much only shounen anime, I really don't care for it. We can still talk about both those subjects, but we have other things that interest us aside from that. Same goes to anyone else in my family, or those I claim as family but aren't. :)
Overall, it's all good.

I play Im@s games with my nieces all the time. They always fight over which idol they are; usually over who gets to be Mami, Hibiki, or Iori. It's cute to watch. XD
The rest of my family never question any of the video games I play, since they know I'll pretty much play anything. :)

Well, I know he's technically not family, my boyfriend has taken a liking to the series now that I half-forced him to watch the anime. He at first would pass iMAS off as one of those dating sim crap and I would be like "no it's not come on just give it a chance" and I forget how, but he agreed to watch some episodes and enjoyed it. Over winter break he came over and he would be the one asking if we could watch more hehe. His favorites are Iori, Ami, and Mami. Kinda surprised we have a similar preference taste for the girls, but that's good I think. :> I played a bit of iMAS2 while he was over as well and recently while I was talking about the new DLC he said that he actually thinks he would enjoy the game, describing it as "a VN with minigames" (which is prolly a good description, as long as the person you're talking to doesn't assume all VN are eroge/dating sims). He doesn't have a PS3 or PSP, only has a US 360 (and I'm not letting him play dearly stars, it would be impossible for him), though I admit I'm kinda trying to hint he should get a PSP so I could lend him one of my SP versions haha.
My sister also actually started playing iMAS for reals now on the PS3, but she doesn't like playing when I'm not home because she relies on me for translation. My translations get kinda funny when I'm tired and don't match the emotion (ex: reading a yayoi line sounding half asleep), but she does enjoy it. :> I feel bad when I miss the line and can't translate it well for her though. :<
which reminds me my sister still hasn't finished watching aniMAS yet. :V she stopped watching at episode 20 because she got sick of watching it on streaming sites and wanted to watch it on the TV hooked up to my laptop.

Ha ha, that brings back memories of the era of reading scripts to unsubbed anime. It's especially hilarious when the reader and the character's voices don't match up well.
