To add to the confusion I have a alot of Anime posters, scrolls, figurines etc.

My dad claims that most characters are little girls and are supposed to be for little girls... O.o
So actually he says that my posters are not for guys at all.

I also have some Hellsing things, and that he understands because Alucard is a cool guy, a man and not a young girl...
I tried to explain the whole thing, but don't know how, because he says people might think I'm a pedophile or something.

I know I'm not, and I'm just an Anime nutcase.
How on earth can you explain you parents that being an Anime fan is just not for little kids only.

They think I should only have naked pictures of women and aggressive military stereotype guys in my posters...

Do you have the same problem? And how do you deal with it? Any tips?


Well, all the walls in my flat are plastered with posters, wallscrolls and whatnot, there's not a single free spot at all and whenever one of my relatives or a friend happens to visit me, they all go like "WTF????!!!" but at the same time they can't get their eyes of any of the images^^ BTW i have this really nice satoshi urushihara full frontal bliss poster of ragnarok city on the wall behind my monitor and right above it and THAT one is just about enough of an positive argument for ANY male visitor so far ( and most of the female visitors as well )
