Post a problem about being an Otaku(anime lover)!

Having to deal with morons who thinks that anime is weird

A problem I have had in the past, being involved in Japonica culture in general, is when you talk about lolita (meaning the Japanese street fashion) people think you are talking about child porn.
My Fiancee tells me just to call it 'Japanese street fashion' instead in order to rectify this problem.

that they cant accept you for who you are and that they judge you and thinking that all anime shows are the same and that its bad influence on us people hey one time I was talking 2 my friend about blue exorcist that was on toonami a while ago and I came over one day and I had my rin okumura bag with me (he's from blue exorcist if u haven't known yet if you haven't seen it yet lol) but anyway I was like hey jess did you see the new ep of blue exorcist Saturday and her grandmother come up 2 me and said don't u guys ever watch that show again and she called me a satin worshiper because I watched the show and In my mind I was like what is she talking about just because I love the show that doesn't mean that im a devil worshiper but my face was like 0_o and she saw my bag and she told me 2 never bring that disgusting bag 2 this house ever again or anything related to that terrible show and I was like is this women serious -_- so yea I have trouble being one and my parents don't understand it but eh who cares

Fangirling about anime otakus that are absolutely adorkable.

Being assumed to be an annoying, friendless, perverted loser who will live shamefully in his parents basement until they die.
That's a pretty common view of anime enthusiasts, or any sort of geek.

This?

Enough said.

Having to conceal the anime information to yourself because other people you know don't know.

SHIP WAR DEBATES. I think is applies to anime-loving as well and although it's a problem, Ikindalikeit.

I got bullied by others because I watch anime and that really pisses me off and makes me cry at the same time cause they speak without knowing anything...loving anime is not a bad thing it really changes people...sometimes I think of making them watch all the deaths in another and make them scream or cry like a baby maybe after that they realize anime is not for kids...='(
