Do you tell people in real life you are a gamer?

Okay I think in this day and age gaming has become mainstream enough for you to say I like gaming and most people would understand you to some extent. Even the dudebro guy will appreciate gaming can be fun like while playing Call Of Duty. So yeah I could talk to some random person about gaming.

But take something like anime for example which I watch quite a lot. I wouldn't normally bring that up as a hobby, not because I'm ashamed but rather because I know that the general consensus probably wouldn't get me if I said I liked anime.

So yeah it depends on who you are talking to really.

Unlike gaming, when I told people I watched anime they looked down on me. To them, especially girls, it was something for 'kids' - a cartoon. That always made me mad. -___- When I tried to expalin the difference to them they interpreted the scenario like a toy being compared to an action figure - no significant difference and still for kids. lulz

Yeah I know what you mean. Next time maybe we should keep Attack On Titan on hand. When they see all those decapacitations and people getting eaten alive then they'll realise that compared to this Micheal Bay movies are for kids.
