Do you tell people you are into animu/video games/jap shit while meeting them? I personally strongly distance myself from them because people's preconcieved notions of them are bad. Cosplay, pocky, weeaboo, ^____________^, jpop > american pop, etc.

I'd say you have a good policy. Myself, having had friends in the past who wouldn't shut up about how awesome they think Dragonball Z is makes me unlikely to willingly associate with people with similar tastes.

What is it with pockey hating?
That shit taste good, I eat it because it taste good not because it's Japanese, I don't get why you would import it when you can go to marsh.
My friend eats pockey and he has never watched anime in his whole life.

I just don't mention it unless it's relevant. Works for me.

>>4's got it.

I agree with >>1

It's the sort of thing that shouldn't be mentioned unless you'd be willing to show them your room. And once they've seen your room, they'll know immediately.

same as >>4.

Though, I guess I'm not that otaku. I have no wallscrolls, figures out in the open, etc. A look at my book/DVDcase (which is in my closet) and I might get questions, though.
