hurt becuase your an otaku

I had an inicdent in middle school where a teacher reported a manga (Fruits Basket) I was reading in class to the prinicple on the grounds that all manga was, as he called it 'japanese porn'. Word of this got around school and I got teased quite a bit for this. It was better when I got to highschool, since more people liked it at this point and it was considered more normal. I've always loved being an otaku and will probably never change, it's just one thing that makes me, me.

LONG LIVE OTAKU!

Meh throughout the whole of my life I could care less about any disdain I received from my hobbies which generally demur from the norm, while I can say it does feel quite awkward and odd inside after being instigated its refreshing to know that one, generally people who stereotype the minority end up suffering because of their closed endedness and bigotry and two, no matter what they say undoubtedly I am of superior being and worth and as such mongrel words stand for nothing in the same way their petty achievements and lives do.Fighting,while childish, also helps,punches and threats don't usually cut however, often resorting to a combination lock falling on their head from the upstairs building, hitting them with a chair, kicking them whilst in the bathroom, stabbing them with scissors, sharpening pencils and incidentally poking them with them, putting tacks on their chairs, stealing their belongings, etc usually do much better, especially if someone of your type is generally the victim of such behavior and can suck up and play innocent as much as they like to the right people unlike the savage thug who wallows in remedial classes and is doomed to suffer.

Moral to be learned: Don't reason with the animal, it won't understand human like logic and thought, make it suffer thricefold, whilst you sacrifice with your pain, it sacrifices it's life. Besides fight once or show aggression,even if you lose, they'll leave you alone, pretend your actually in a position to stand your ground and they'll destroy you(I mean seriously, have you ever seen a 220 lb Mexican defensive end stop saying shit because a 148 lb Asian who quit sports and in general all physical activities to persue debate and hobbies such as reading and playing tabletop games told them too?Trust me from experience, play their own game and be merciless, to win is to never give them the chance to make you lose again, the only victory is that which is total.

You go girl! The way to get respect sometimes is to stalk them and demand it.

I remember doing something similar to that actually... I was at the Skatepark with a few friends and we went to Tesco Express to get some Cola. On the way back, a trio of "chavs" began taking the piss out of us. It got a little annoying after a while and they focussed on taking the piss out of my friend Barry, so I began acting like I'd escaped from the mental institution. Whenever they spoke to us, I began laughing like a complete lunatic and dancing like one. Then, I ran up to them, laughed some more, only this time at the top of my lungs right into their ears, gave them all hugs and messed up their hair. They stopped talking to us. But they started throwing rocks at us, although the rocks always hit the floor so the most they did was scuff our shoes.

Nope, never happened. Watching anime is just a part of your childhood here.
And as I grow up, the type of anime I watch would get different as well (mostly ecchi lol), and no one cares to give a fuck.

I am Anzei Kazumi, hey there! :3

Let this old Green-hair-addict of a chef tell you something.

I never experienced that, being ridiculed for being an otaku in school. I was criticized and ridiculed at home though, from my own family. I loved Anime so much when I was a kid, and when my parents found out they were not pleased at all. At first it was verbal warnings, then it went physical. It went to the point where they mentally attacked me by burning my manga collection right in front of my eyes. (Well if you call eight mangas a collection...)

Anzei didn't give up though. :3 I pledged my life to Anime after that incident and promised to show to my parents that I am ANZEI KAZUMI!! and that I love Anime and they can't do anything about it. I converted almost all of my classmates to anime otakus, more or less. Got known in school as a badass otaku, since I got into some fist fights trying to force my way to acceptance, and made a name for myself. Now I live far away from my 'parents'. Now I'm just a quiet amateur Writer and a chef in my small cafe, with my anime-techie-otaku girlfriend. I met my 'Oka-sama' which is a lady I respect the most that I call her my mother. Well if I continue this might take a whole novel so...

So to sum it all up, absolute willpower, burning passion, and pocky will get the job done.

[color=red][b]I think we're all criticized for things sometimes. Annoying people like Mibu likes to do such evil acts~

Though I don't think I'm much of an otaku for liking animes. REAL otakus on Japan have libraries of doujins and manga at home.

that actually is horrible mainly becuase as soon as i read manga or anything literally people thought that to but funny it only happened in middle school. lol also my school really didnt have much clubs so i was a little out of it plus hanging out with other otakus is a death bed waiting to happen

also dont worry about my self esteem after grade 9 i joined cadets. which was a major self confindence boost. and now that i am a sargeant of 758 aargus squadren and have completed survival instructor cource, i am not really afriad of what people say. becuase this otaku can tare u a new one

OT:

I was never bullied for my otaku interests, but it did isolate me from conversations that I had no interests in.




I could relate to this in a way. I was so immersed into competitive sports during middle school and high school that I didn't have time to hang out with friends. So being able to keep up with the latest games, music, and fashion was hard to keep up with.
My otaku lifestyle didn't happen until after I finished high school. Looking back at the past I think would of loved being in the high school anime club. When I would walk pass by their room on my way to the pit I would see them play ddr all day.

Wow, they sound like dipshits. O-o

ohnoez, my shoez.. :<

You're not alone.
I was teased by people for my love of anime, no fun.

You're not the only one ._.
In my first years of high school i was teased by some jerks because i like rock and metal.
I used to response, but then i realized i just had to ignore them. And it worked.
Sometimes in a while they would scream at me "ROOOCKER GIRL" trying to do an screamo lol! but when i started to laugh at their jokes, they really stopped. Lol.

Be proud of yourself, I know you have people telling you to, 'ignore' it and walk away. Don't bother, I'd show them that I LOVE what I do, build on your foundations. Find others that have similar interests, you'll be surprised how many people in this world is into anime. Live on!

I didn't start watching anime until after high school. But people at my old Trade School did make fun of me about it. I don't remember specifics cuz I try to block out those things. But you shouldn't care what they think anyways. fuck them.

I would probably post more but I'm really sleepy right now

Not really teased but felt judged. But the important thing is to ignore these people. I mean I find it weird they like to watch wrestling aka 2 almost naked men rubbing and pushing each other to the ground.

well. my friends classmates call me a freak for liking manga and anime so much and for hating football. i often bullied but i don't give a damn at all. go to hell them all.

I get critisize because I try to preach the epicness and godliness of anime and manga to the common people around me

made my friends like anime/manga with main-stream ones (naruto, bleach, one piece etc...) i don't give a **** to those that think i'm creepy.

You can say I got lucky. Throughout my life in school I was finding myself. In doing so I had a lot of friends in all types of lifestyles(mind you its not like we were really good friends). I mean yea their were times when I would get make fun of and other times get the stinky eye but other than that school life for me was ok. That's the reason I loved going to conventions as a kid. You can do whatever you want because everyone loves what you like.

Similar, 6'3", 175 lb, also not a virgin, and former Army (though I didn't get nearly that high in the ranks). My battle buddies would give me shit for it, but after I introduced them to a few series they actually liked it themselves. I suppose it's how you go about it. I'm a fan, but I blend on fairly well and I've never gotten more than some sarcasm for it. Maybe it's because I was always athletic and a bit of a fighter so most people were either cool with me or semi-afraid of me (after I broke the skull of the guy my ex fiance cheated on me with nobody said anything cross to me, but he deserved it).
