tomodachis
Hi hi, I have good time without writing anything decent / useful truth here did not have to write today checking my formspring I came across this question:
How to be a geek / otaku without dying in the attempt, given the opposition of the family?
question I've answered many times on my radio show, but today I think it warrants that it will stay written, and I'll try to write it best as a basic guide to survival of our identity as young dictates .
At first I want you to understand something, especially if they are minors, generally speaking, their parents what they want most is to be a good people, I know now you should know, but often when you're young, you know, with the hormone to full and at the time of rebellion just forget about it, it's reached a point where we believe our parents did not understand that not accept us as we are, we are not allowed to be and above all that our parents hate us. Believe me maybe our parents did not understand but from there on out, we are wrong, and I'll get me the sack to sound more empathetic, but personally I never thought so, but ...
What to do?
As much as I believe that it will not work or that more and shouted that the anime is not evil, it's not a waste of time and we just do not understand, be honest, Already sat with them to talk seriously? and thinking about little people are already, 'cause we're talking about a stage where they are no longer children but not adults by as much as most feel they have no voice or vote, and do not think like children but are treated as such, and if that frustrated, but how they do not want to be treated like children if they spend watching monkeys in the pc / lap and playing online or console all day? that ... not very mature, say, does not reflect the maturity that you hold or seek to reflect and obviously I do not think anime is for kids, but Get out a little of what you and I know they have to be to reason and understand first YOU FIRST as they see their parents and what they reflect.
understood: their parents want the best for you and your parents think the anime / video games are a waste of time and are for children.
that
We have to sit with their parents, and seriously, asked: Dad, Mom What do you dislike about my hobby?
Because they have to make is that their parents see the anime as it is a hobby, if I know that for many of us is a passion, but for most people is his hobby and passion that happens to be irrelevant to what we want to achieve, that my parents I accept otaku.
Let's face it if you start to "alienate" the anime and not do anything else to do Capistrano and neglect your duties: School, study, work. Hence if we are wrong, there tomodachis priorities, if they are with the mindset that the anime is the most important thing in life, I am going to be on the side of their parents and?
But if instead meet their obligations and it then cast their daily Capistrano, forean a while, play their online time or so, but their parents think they are doing wrong, if there is the time to talk.
Ideally, I would negotiate: Dad, Mom, I promise to do my duties at school and at home (because I do not know about families to families, maybe up to you to wash dishes, or keep tidy their rooms, or that I, anything) but a change in my spare time I can freely develop my hobby. I do not see how a dad can be denied, unless you have this misconception that anime is evil or bad, or that damages the mind or things like that, How refute this? I will give you an easy and understandable explanation that they can tell their parents:
Instead of us novels Latinos, or the Americans with their series, the Japanese realized it was much cheaper to make animated series with actors, so the anime is an industry and as there are movies for all age groups and all genders, though they are with pictures are just the same classifications that film, from AA, A, B, C and XXX, there are anime / manga that deal with kitchen to see ladies, there are also children that would be equivalent to or barnie Dora the Explorer, there are also action and adventure, robots, science fiction, novels and love and blah blah blah ... expláyense tomodachis.
The point here is to inform you with understandable words, with examples they can easily understand, are not going to put talk of shoujo, shonen, seinen, jousei and others, I mean?
So in a nutshell, is that your first thought a parent to see some hentai is "Japanese perverts! Sick cartoons can ???!!!!! as well!! ?????" is that this is the error the anime are not cartoons, a cartoon but unlike in the West, not all children, is what to do to understand, that is for all age groups, and with the same confidence that they they is not going to get to see porn on the must have computed that there are going to get to see hentai, not an excuse to ban all anime.
Another point I missed: THE ANIME IS DIABOLICAL
In my experience most attributed the "demonization" of anime to the fact that people will "taint" with him for many people is inexplicable as the anime caught much attention from people, with the smash hit Dragon Ball or Pokemon started the rumor that he had hidden messages or something that caught the subconscious and brought the children / young people were trapped with the series.
Explanation: The anime has that feature to catch, that unlike the conventional cartoon episodes autoconclusivos is a story that unfolds chapter by chapter, and one obviously wants to know what will happen, unlike the cartoons has the formula of the series gringo.
Besides the success of anime is due to the wonderful stories we have, which has some animals violence itself (already cleared about gender tooooodos) curiously those presented in our country, for example DB, Saint Seiya, but tell them who would say that the anime is violent and Heidi Candy Candy anime and also see it as more of a surprise to Ms. / Mr. Now that are considered violent have quadruple good as what's wrong, always fight for good, if aliens come to invade us, Do you think that world powers were not going to get really violent attack? and if they made a movie of it, is not going to be bombs and blood and everything else? it is just that!! have a fight, battle, battle, as the violence involved but they do in saving the world pro, pro to help his friends, most of the anime pose many values \u200b\u200bas friendship and Sailor Moon Love and justice ", but people insist on seeing this scared in a" caricature. "
Now frankly, The potatoes should take a few minutes of your time to see what he sees his son sitting with him for a while, let him explain that the series goes, put a bit of attention before becoming misconceptions or believe gossip or what he told a friend / girlfriend in the meeting or work, but mostly rely on education and the values \u200b\u200byou have instilled.
know many young people were unaware of their ability to draw, for example, thanks to the anime started, I try and have a talent that otherwise would never have developed, others have been encouraged to write their own history, to create their own characters and even have set up a play at school, or presentadose in their cities, others who have posted their stories or are in process, others have their own comic inspired all these "Japanese monkeys" aha! or have learned to sew by his alma cosplayera "and now study design, which made an entire micro-enterprises to sell cosplays and / or clothing that is precisely what follows:
What WHEN YOU WANT TO GO BEYOND THE HOBBIE?
Suppose you already have this deal with his parents and no problem, let them watch anime, read manga and play, but derrepente they enter the "worm cosplay" and from the time your mom / dad puts imagines dressed like outcry: WHY YOU WANT TO DRESS AS A CHARACTER?? DO NOT LIKE HOW ARE YOU?? WANT TO LIVE IN A WORLD OF FANTASY?? YOU AND ME GOING CRAZY??
Let's face it, imagine that you know nothing of the otaku roll, if you see a guy on the street with makeup, and a celestial pupilentes all quirky costume down the street Do not you think he's crazy? or that ridiiiiiculo is it, obviously if, and suppose that just do not know anything about anything and your child wants to dress like the kind they saw on the street, would you like? NO! My child?
that I look at it:
lawyer / doctor / teacher / manager / agronomist / biologist / engineer
DRESS IS NOT SO!! indeed, it is inconceivable to understand.
Now they have to do here is to leave absolutely clear that obviously you are going to be (insert profession of your choice and your parents here) but while that happens, you have to use their youth to do things that large are going to look very ridiculous and that their work / profession will not be able to do anymore.
His parents must understand that it's like dressing up on Halloween, they are not going to start dressing well every day but only on the date determined by the desirability in question, which obviously are aware that they will not live cosplay and cosplay will not eat, not to neglect their studies for the cosplay and so should explain that not only dress like the character, but his actions, that there is a contest where you can win x money, my veeeeery makes me happy when the family goes to support a cosplayer and apluden and cheer him and they will embrace when you win, is very nice to see, what I witnessed as a driver and I'm waaaay joy, however, there are cosplayers who do secretly because they believe that your home will NEVER understand tomodachis but take the time / value / delicate to explain How want to understand them? ...
Now if you think to take the hobby to perfection involves spending many expenses, expenses not think any father would be willing to cover, and is certainly one view to them coming for costs which should not, in many cases, what I did (because when I was not working) was to save what they gave me to spend, having breakfast in my house and if I like something in school that good for nothing else and now and together for things, so I gave derrepente occasionally, my Sunday and that you have to be responsible for your hobby, I know it depends on your economic status maybe if you can buy everything you need for your cosplay but that also gives rise to scold you for spending so much to those things and your parents begin to feel you spend too much on something that is not worth (to them will never be worth) , might be worth it if you get so good out there start doing cosplay cosplays or accessories to sell, or start winning competitions, and believe me there are many cosplayers that are beginning to make their own clothes, so save in and capable and his mother, aunts, cousins \u200b\u200bknow they like to sew and more support; D
Well I hope they have helped, any questions, comments, also if I want to have your specific something they have not been resolved, post here or I can ask my formspring that makes it easier to answer me there, so everyone can read and fed back to us, good luck with their parents and ANIME! or say Animo! ^ ^
greetings!
