Since all the good advice is taken, I'm going with...

IT'S A NERD'S WORLD! BE PROUD OF YOUR HERITAGE!

[TokuChris]

I just got the girl I'm seeing in to Kamen Rider Gaim.

I don't openly broadcast what I do. I don't want the attention. This is my side-job, my side-career if you will. I don't want it to become my only career, and I'd rather not try and explain myself to every single person that I deal with on a daily basis.

It's different at conventions - I will rep the site with a shirt and hand out business cards and shake EVERYONE'S hand. At a convention, I want everyone to know who I am and what I represent. It's why I'm going to Power Morphicon - I can't afford it so quickly after SDCC, but I need to go to at least represent.

I am a freshman and my class is too big for anyone to really make fun of you. It really depends on how much diversity there is.

Sure, my friends may call Super Sentai "Power Rangers", but I just remind myself that it's Saban's fault (Sorry if I offended anyone). I do not go around proclaiming my love for Toku, but I will never hide it from anyone. You think I am childish, go ahead. I am not going to change so I can be a "normal person". Being normal sucks, I could not imagine life without this wonderful hobby. People's reactions may even suprise you. For example: Today I had to talk to someone about my favorite TV character in english class. Obviously it was Takumi, but to my suprise, the guy looked at my paper and went "Kamen Rider? You mean Dragon Knight?" I facepalmed while he wrote down "Kamen Rider Faiz" so he could try it out later. To conclude, why not talk about Toku? From writing it down on a piece of paper to screaming "HENSHIN!" in the hallway, I really do not see a problem. If people do not like it, sucks for them. Because they are missing out on the best series ever !

Welcome to the site and thank you for joining in the discussion Glad to have ya on board!

You, sir, have phrased it the best.

For me, I promote a few toku shows to my friends (it's great for comedy, too ). If someone has the guts to make fun of me for it, then more power to them. I'm the one who's enjoying myself.

Godspeed my good man. The lifeblood of any fandom is making sure that the series is both supported and loved by its fans; both new and old.

I hope you'll have success at Morphicon.

I let people know I like everything.

She spent 15 minutes talking about why she doesn't like Baron last night. It was pretty entertaining.

What was her reaction to the whole fruit motif?

my sister saw that they were wearing fruit and her response was pretty priceless.

I tell people all of the time. I'm not here to worry about what others may think of me. Because a person is always going to have something to say about you. It's about being comfortable with who you are, regardless of what others may say/think about you. I'm 36 years old, I've been watching Toku since I was 4 years old. I regular enjoy watching these shows with my sons now. Where's the shame in that?

What the next person eat doesn't make me sh*t. So I'm not ashamed of who I am and what I enjoy.
