THE iDOLM@STER and your family
TaKai:
My sis' father is aware of Idolm@ster paint schemes all over my Ace Combat 6 and Ace Combat: Assault Horizon planes. He claimed that if fighter planes were painted like that and flew all over the world we'd have world peace. Otherwise he sometimes berates me for not playing a "manly game" whenever I played IM@S before the disc cracked. I'm hesitant to display my Haruka figure (let alone any other stuff I may have) due to this.
My sis observes quietly whenever I played IM@S and sometimes wonders why a game such as this exists. Like her father, she berates me for not playing "manly games" or games aimed towards a male audience....
Her mother thinks I'm going through a rough patch and is more worried that I'm more interested in IM@S over games like GTA4 and Skyrim (or any other game with blood, gore, and violence for that matter).
SakuraMaxX:
Parents don't really care, though my father used to joke about me potentially being a pedophile and he kept asking me if I was serious about putting the Chihaya decals on my F-15E model kit. He also said it was a disgusting idea.
Friends think it's a little odd, especially the fact that I went out of my way to get a Japanese Xbox 360. The friends who dislike it the most are the ones I offer rides to, since my car iPod has some iM@S music in it. Imagine you're a person who doesn't like iM@S music, and you're in the passenger seat of a car whose driver goes 80-90MPH on the freeway on average. Not an ideal situation for most of my friends.

Wait, your parents are worried that you don't play video games with violence, crime, and wonton destruction? Wow, that's new. Maybe you should show them Death Smiles or Higurashi or something. ^^
One guy I know drew similarities between Im@s and Monster Rancher. Makes a bit of sense - replace monsters with idols, and training with lessons and promotions. RPG equips become (good) songs and costumes. Combat is Beatmania (Lite). Gameplay-wise, much better than mash A for attack, right? I like the music, too, that really helps.

I knew a guy that listened to anime music that was known for driving triple digits on a regular basis. Once he drove through a hurricane like that - and people were with him. Glad I wasn't one of them... O_o
But seriously, people get scared when you drive 80-90 on the highway? It's a straight frickin' line.

See, I'm not quite sure which is worse; being berated for not playing a "manly" enough game (Take GTA4 for example) or being asked if I'm psychologically stable when I have a Haruka figurine on display in my room.
animagic4u:
You guys make me laugh.
Girls think I'm weird for my collections of scantily clad bishoujo figures, dakimakuras, posters, eroge, manga...etc.
My friends have read iDOLM@STER doujinshi only because they didn't really know it was im@s and have talked to me about how hot a certain characters are...it makes me laugh.
The only thing my parents have to say about this game/series is that it doesn't quite seem Japanese. The girls look too American to them.
