/jp/ - Otaku Culture

I wouldn't know because he's dead.

I don't show my dad those things.

He gets annoying with the backseat gaming when I play RPGs though.

My dad doesn't know about these things. I hope.

I don't have a dad.

Which is probably somehow part of why I play VNs in the first place.

>>7252929
This.
He bought the box back in 2006.

I can't imagine why you would want to do either in front of your parents.

All my dad knows is infrequent glances at the monitor when I'm playing Touhou. The flashing lights of Touhou are generally more eye-catching than the girls to onlookers, so I don't mind playing it in public.

If I'm watching something people around here just assume it's DBZ or Pokemon.

If I'm playing Touhou then people just assume it's Gradius.

For him to see, I'd either need to be out of it as fuck, or he'd need to climb around on the walls and the ceiling to prevent alerting me to his presence and get behind me to even see my laptop monitor.

How would my dad feel about me masturbating to drawings of girls that look like they are 10?

Before I was kicked out, he viewed my interests as something "you either get or your don't."

He made somewhat of an effort to watch some anime (Miyazaki and Kon, mostly) and read the occasional manga I would recommend (Tatsumi and Tezuka, mostly). He viewed my figures as creepy and weird, but didn't say too much about them. I introduced him to Touhou, which he still enjoys playing , though he probably couldn't name more than two characters.

>>7252993
Sounds like you were lucky. After I showed him some Miyazaki and stuff like Kaiji, I tried to show him K-ON, and that was pretty much the reason he kicked me out.

>>7253000
Was your dad like this?

>>7252993
What a wonderful dad you have, taking interest in your interests.
My parents don't seem to care at all. Maybe that's rather good...

My dad currently watches more anime then I do.

Which was fine when it was black lagoon on starz and ghost in the shell. But I think he's been watching sekirei on netflix and thats just fucking creepy.

>>7253010
He was angrier. He was pretty mad that I really spent my time watching cute girls do cute thing while he paid for everything. Video games were somehow more tolerable, he would have gotten used to it a decade ago.

I enjoy the NEET, lonely life in a house I own, living on decent wellfare that allows some basic luxuries like a motorbike and importing random crap from Japan without anyone busting my balls or questioning me.

The pleasure of listening to 3 minutes and 23 seconds of Remilia fingering Flander on 100W speakers and a 150W subwoofer at high volumes.

Well fuck

>>7253025
Where do you live?

dat drama cd.

He thinks it's cool. He read Saya no Uta and loved it. He still asks me to give him more VNs but I always forget.

Links?

I only play late at night while everyone is in bed with my door closed, or while everyone is out.

I get caught a couple times, but only watching manly hot blooded stuff like Gundam Unicorn.

I've kept it a complete secret for the past five or so years, but when Madoka BD's come out I'm going to come out of the closet and make my whole family sit down and watch it with me. Subbed. I'm 23.

Bad idea, /jp/?

>>7253114

>>7253124
Yeah, probably not the best idea.

>>7253124
Depends on your existing social standing within your family.

He wishes he had the time to watch more anime himself, so...

>>7253114

>mfw

>>7253124

Perhaps if you could tell us a little more about your family we could make a proper judgment.

He's indifferent towards VN's as he just sees them as picturebooks books with a soundtrack, but he actively enjoys anime and asks me to find more for him to watch.

I'm glad I have you guys to stop me from making a big mistake. My dad would probably never look at me the same again and I'd probably turn my little brother into a weaboo.

Still, while I'm watching the Madoka finale tomorrow I will be thinking how fun it would be to watch it with them or some friends (if I had any). Why can't people accept us, /jp/? Are we really that wrong?

>>7253146
There's always your anonymous friends on the internet.

>>7253151
Not that I don't love you guys and our hobby isn't better enjoyed alone 99% of the time, every once and a while I wish someone was there...

>>7253146

You could always, y'know, go to /a/ and discuss it there...

>>7253146
I like how three comments on an anonymous image board can completely curve your plans for the future. Don't be a fucking pussy.

my dad just calls them those big eyed cartoons. Doesn't seem to care really. He can't handle high pitched voices though so he never watches them. I tried to get my cousin to watch but he hates subtitles.

>>7253146
By hiding your abnormal interests, you're contributing to the lack of acceptance. Of course, don't force it upon like a missionary, just act like it's normal. There's nothing to worry about, your family would only be intrigued.

He thought Kaiji was cool and that I had unique interest and an open mind, he said he respected me for it. He also thought touhou was a fun game when he played it but hard, he said the art looked weird but the music was cool and the danmaku was trippy.
He fell asleep during LoGH though...

>>7252927
It's pretty sad that /a/ has to ruin a completely original piece of work by including a shitty non-meme in place of the actual last panel.

Good job, /a/.

>>7253173

Damn you...

I have someone I watch all my anime with, we talk about it on IM while we watch.

>>7253146
My father and I are eagerly awaiting the finale for Madoka.

He's also getting me a dakimakura for my birthday, I guess I'm just lucky.

>>7253210
What dakimakura?

I left my family as soon as I could, 6 years ago when I was 17. I think I had the worst father out of everyone else here. He was in his fifties and was a complete weaboo except wouldn't actually watch anime or read manga. Worst part was my family was rich, so he would go twice a year to Japan. I don't know if he still does, but I hope for the sake of the Japanese that he's dead by now. I may not be as rich as if I stayed with my parents but its saved me a lifetime of headaches and rage. All they knew was I was into anime, but they thought I was just into gundam, which I was never really into, did briefly gundam wing for about a week.

>>7253236
I went to this Japanese class once that was full of 35+ year old weeaboo who weren't into anime or manga or VNs or anything and they went to Japan like every week and told me to get a Japanese girlfriend.

>>7253247
Was Ken-sama there by any chance?

Like this.

>>7253236
>>7253247
Guys like perfume444? I thought he was pretty swell...

>>7253257
RIP, ken-sama. ;_;

i am his main source of despair and dissapoint and i didn't even knew until some days ago

>>7253215
Don't know, still a lot of time to choose.

>>7253274
I don't have to worry since I'm the middle child of three disappoints. A slut, a NEET and a criminal. I only get a third of that.

>>7253257
My father was pretty much like Ken-sama, except 50-something. You can guess how much of a living hell it was like being there.
