Your parent's thoughts on your anime/pokemon obsession.
 
I was wondering what everyone's parents/family thought of their obsessions with anime and Pokemon ( if you have one)

Like, mine don't understand it at all but they leave me alone about it. ^^

What does your family think?

They... don't know I like Pokémon. I keep PC and every other forum I go to a secret from them, and when I get the games I just say it's for the sake of nostalgia. Which they accept because I'm a sentimental sorta guy. They also don't know I watch the anime from time to time... so yeah.

The reason they don't know is because their thoughts would be fairly negative if they found out.

My mom thinks I'm freaking wierd

Elite Champion July 17th, 2009 9:53 AM

Same as the poster above. They would maybe think of me different

Kura July 17th, 2009 9:55 AM

My parents don't really care.. :/ I guess it's because I'm at school for Art and Animation, they find it pretty normal..

TwilightBlade July 17th, 2009 10:00 AM

They've threaten to disown me if I continue to obsess over a children's game and cartoons. \o/

They don't mind the Pokemon obsession to be honest. Since I see and treat anime in an artistic light, they support me for being inspired to do something with that inspiration.

Mitchman July 17th, 2009 10:08 AM

They view Pokemon and video games childish so whatever. The forums though I keep secret.

I don't understand why you have to keep the forums a secret..
Maybe i'm weird but i think being open about things is a much better idea.

Chibi-chan July 17th, 2009 10:18 AM

My mom thinks I'm too old for these things, so I try to hide it from her.
She knows though...doesn't like it.

Shem July 17th, 2009 10:20 AM

really don't know what my mom thinks, nor do I care, as for my dad, he says that I need to get "a real game" instead of pokemon.

La Foudre July 17th, 2009 10:20 AM

They don't care, at all. They don't care that my brother loves video games either. As a matter of fact, my mom loves to play Spyro and games like that on my DS so she's a nerd too, I guess. xD

Thats awesome! xD It would be cool to have a nerdy parent :3

My dad doesn't care and my mother doesn't know what I do, so I guess it isn't really a problem at home. They just leave me alone.

Rokusasu July 17th, 2009 11:56 AM

My mum's not bothered at all about the Pokemon stuff. I think it's the Kingdom Hearts obsession she's more concerned with. XD

Woah, you don't know how word for word this is xD

My parents don't act like they care, but I'm sure they do. My dad likes that I have something I have a drive for, even though it's something like Pokemon. My step dad probably thinks it's childish and he always takes my DS when I get grounded (however he forgets my SP and GBA). My mom doesn't really seem to care, however she gets disappionted when I'd rather buy a Pokemon game (or any game, for that matter) rather than clothes.

XxDawnfanxX July 17th, 2009 12:08 PM

I don't think my parents exactly know. I keep PC a secret from everyone because to me, it is like a place that I can get away from everything and talk about something I love with people that understand. Others around here, I could never talk to and they wouldn't be able to take me seriously. My mom wouldn't care, my dad probably wouldn't, but he would rag on me if he knew.

Rogue planet July 17th, 2009 12:16 PM

I wouldn't say I am obsessed over anime... My parents don't know though, I wouldn't mind if they did. I doubt they would care. It's far less strange compared to other things I do.

Motsuko Live July 17th, 2009 12:33 PM

My parents just wonder why I'm on the computer so much. Fortunately they think all I'm doing is talking to friends and browsing facebook. But little do they know...

.little monster July 17th, 2009 12:57 PM

The could not honestly care less. They would rather me be addicted to Pokemon than drugs.

Anxiety. July 17th, 2009 1:05 PM

My parentx couldn't care less. I don't talk about it to them.

This is my parents thoughts. As long as I'm not breaking the law, they don't care.

Wulf July 17th, 2009 1:11 PM

"Son, I'm dissapointed in you."
;_;

My dad works at a game store. I don't have an obsession with it. Even if I did, they wouldn't care.
