M'kay, so a bit of a rant but not really, and you don't have to read it, but I just need to get it out. So, my parents know I like musicals and anime, and they are 100% okay with musicals, and they love them too. However, anime, not so much. Whenever I mention it, they're just like,"Okay, whatever," and look weirded out. They think anime is really weird, and I can tell. Like today, they were talking about things rated TV-MA, and I mentioned that this one anime I liked (Black Butler), kept switching from TV-14 to TV-MA on Netflix. To which my dad replies,"Of course, it's an anime." And I got mad, but kept it in. I know that Black Butler isn't the best, but I personally don't think it's all that terrible, and I just got pissed that they assumed that it was inappropriate because it was an anime. The only animes they've seen me watching are Seven Deadly Sins, My Hero Academia, and Haikyuu. Haikyuu isn't bad, but MHA has Mineta, and 7ds has Meliodas in the earlier seasons. Of course, my luck always had my parents seeing those aspects and not the deep plot of the animes. But, ironically, my dad referred to Hawk's mom as a, and I quote, "flying pig with boobs." So, there's that. I honestly don't know what to do. My parents' views on anime are very interesting. My interest in anime is still a part of me, and sometimes they seem to accept it, and sometimes they don't. For example, for Christmas they got me Midoriya and Todoroki funko pops, which I love and are displayed in my room. But then, as I mentioned, they think anime is weird and inappropriate. Sorry for just unloading this, and I feel kinda selfish doing it because I know people have actual problems, and this is just me complaining, but I had to get it out, even if no one reads it.
As always, I love you all and stay safe!
