Anime fans: Are you ever treated differently because you arn't "the nor!


Question: I joined a cosplay group, and last month, I went to a gathering. I was IGNORED, and I have a feeling it was because of the way I was dressed (ripped American Eagle jeans and a Hollister track jacket). A couple of girls LITERALLY ran away from me! I haven't gone to any of their events since.

I'm a ballerina. I'm trying out for my college's dance team next week (I would have done cheerleading but I missed the tryouts...), and yeah, so I don't fit the norm. But, I have been to so many conventions I've lost count, have cosplayed too many characters to count...

I really believe that their shouldn't BE a norm for anime, manga, and gameing fans! We all love the same thing, but have different outside hobbies.

Anyone else have a similar experience or agree?

Also no hate posts. You'll just get a thumbs down. <3.

its kinda normal, when u go to cosplay party, they just stay among themselve, pretending that she is the no #1 die hard fan, so when they see others that newbiee...they will stare and runaway, they afraid their popularity on those cosplay party will be ruined...

(^-*)

Ran away from you!!! Wow I would like grab them by the shirt and yell, but you know I like the way I am and I think it's cool that your a ballerina and you like anime oh and no one runs away from me, but they do say stuff but I'm never bullied because of it it's good to stand out a little

I love anime but noe of my friend know because im worried about what they will think, i have been thinking about telling the but always change my mind at the last minute. It would be a lot easier if every1 liked anime.

i can relate to you A LOT.

something similar happened
to me but im too lazy to type
it all out. lol. ^^

I get made fun of at school for being a major otaku
I'm anime/manga everything!

i love anime! i also played basketball and now take tae kwon do. most of my friends don't know at all about me liking anime/manga. i know personally literally like 5 people who also like it and one of them is my sis! i'm afraid my friends would make fun of me. a few of them vaguelly know that i like 1 certain manga (fruits basket) and whenever thats mentioned i get some coments, so i'm definately not gonna tell them about my other ones!

Sometimes but i learned to live with it.
noone is normal and when people say i'm crazy i just go
"i prefer the term Phsyco or insane." shuts um up quite quickly.
plus i found out i don't want to stop liking animae so thoose people can live with it. if they can't....
THAT"S TOO DAMN BAD!!!!!

Never feel ashamed or apologise for what you like and who you are. My 'friends' aren't into anime but I openly admit being obsessed with it and they don't care(not out of compassion but because I'm the weird one).

Don't worry though, its the weird one's that have a better chance of being the great ones.
and by weird I don't mean queer. If you're the latter it aint the anime love folks.

>.< Welcome to the Anime/Manga/Gaming World. It's sometimes cruel. But you have to put up with it and try to talk to them =D

I pretty much don't say anything to my friends about Anime or Manga because I hate the fact that they will judge me so I keep it in. It's really hard (for me at least) to find someone that likes anime but really good luck with it. I had one but then she got all stuck up so i stopped hanging out with her -.- But Be yourself and it will follow through ^_^v Good Luck -hugs- <3
