people subjecting nerds to ridicule is sooooo grade school. seriously though, when somebody is enlightened to the fact that im an otaku nowadays its more of a 'meh' response, as if theyre alright with associating themselves with me but still dont want anything to do with the hobby itself.
at the end of the day ygotta roll like swordsman:

no, not really in fact I am proud of it. i don't care what people think I love anime and manga and proud.
we have one of the most unique opinions in the world, you and i. it might be easily discriminated against but its only because the majority of the world just cant grasp the appeal of anime or its clothes-less counterpart. be proud of your hobbies and what you enjoy, and especially the way you express your passion for these hobbies.
