Since someone recently came out of the waifu closet to at least one of their parents, I'm gonna ask. How would your family react to you having a waifu? Or even owning merch of her/him like a daki? Have any of you encountered either of these things? How did it pan out? I feel like my parents would start to get concerned about me, honestly. I have had problems with depression and anxiety so I feel like they'd try to make me see a psychiatrist. I know they would mean well but yeah, they'd look at me a whole lot differently. But that's if I straight out told them I had one. If I just owned a daki they'd just think I was a bit strange, but nothing to worry about.

Well, my mom has previously caught me in bed with my daki…many times…

I somehow convinced her that it didn't mean anything.

My mom was asking why I had a pillow by me that I pretend is Kirino until my daki arrives and that made me awkward as fuck. But I kinda had the same experience I guess. But once the daki is here I'll have to have a long talk with her and my dad about it I'm assuming.

They may already know, its hard to tell.

My mom likes to make jokes about me "moving to japan and marrying an anime girl." So she'd probably do her best to be understanding. She even brings it up to other people, "Sometimes i think he is more interested in cartoons than real people." which results in many confused looks from other family members.

My dad would try to act like it is my defining feature and passive aggressively bring it up whenever possible. When he found out i was interested in the occult he started calling me a witch for months.

Though this was before the divorce so i dount either of them care at this point.

My siblings would just make fun of me and probably try to use it to insult me. And my grandparents.. best case is they dont understand and ignore it, worst case is they think im insane/being manipulated by the guberment.

Man if there's any silver lining to parents divorcing, it's that they get far too tired to care about your little quirks they wouldn't approve of.

These days I bet I could talk about how much I love Lilly loudly in the same room as my mom and she wouldn't make anything of it.

Having a plushie was really pushing it for me, it's gonna be a long time before I can get anything like a daki.


 No.168

They don't know, and they probably never will know the full extent of it

I may buyfag all the time and have multiple dakis but I work a fulltime job, and do what they ask, so my family respects my privacy and stays out of my room

At least my dad and step mom do

My mom never did so I moved out

Hoping to get my own place though soon, I really hope it's with People I know online who already know

I even made them sing happy birthday to my daughteru.

Well I just showed my mom my daki because she was going to see it eventually. She started making jokes immediately after I showed her

"So you know the package I got? It was a body pillow case with my favorite character from a series I watched a long time ago."

>"Let me see it anon"

"It's really embarrassing."

>"I don't care."

>go to my room and pick up the Kirino daki stuffed with three pillows and hold it up in front of me, showing her it

>"Awww is that your girlfriend?"

>immediately turn red

"N-no mom."

>"Is that sailor moon?"

>put down daki and walk over to her since she was outside of my room but grab one of my oreimo dvds from my room before leaving

"N-no s-she's from this show that I l-like."

>"I think your sister watches that."

>explain to her that she doesn't and it's a completely different show

>"Well at least she won't talk back"

"M-mom p-please stop making fun of m-me."

>"At least you don't have to feed her, she's already skinny!"

>say in the calmest voice I can and wipe the tears from my eyes

"M-mom p-plz n-no b-bully"

>"I'm just joking."

>Have to tell her about the lewd-ish side since she'll end up seeing it anyways

"There's one thing bad about it t-though."

>"What is it anon?"

"There's an image on both sides, the one I got was the only one that doesn't have nudity."

>"Why are there nude ones?"

"I-I d-don't know it's w-weird. The one I have is the other side is just her pajamas."

>completely lied and my mom is going to have to find out the other side is Kirino in her underwear later

>"Probably for perverts."

"You probably think that of me.

>"No I don't, you got the non-nude one, and you're not some old man buying it."

>we go on to talk about other things

>my sister walks past us and goes into the bathroom

>"Anon you should show your sister, she has a bunch of things like that."

>sister is a feminist

"I-I'd r-rather n-not. P-please d-don't tell her."

I can't wait to have to deal with my dad. But I doubt he'll be as "joking" and stuff and just say whatever

If you have a mother but not a father, you're lucky. I don't have a mother, just a father, and a brother. I know for sure they'd make fun of me or even be angry at me if I had something like a dakimakura. The best I can do is buy it with my own money without asking them for it, to try to lessen how much of a loser they'll make me feel like.

Damn, dude. Pretty good. I wonder how the conversation would've went down had you said yes to is that your girlfriend

I remember when telling my mom about Yuno when I initiated the talk with "Its about the girl" to which she asked if I got her pregnant.

Believe me the humor makes it so much easier to talk about. How intimated would you have been if she was stone faced the whole time.

>>321

yeah my dads big thing is he doesn't care how weird I am as long as I have a job and can take care of myself.


 No.360

File: 1446111907336.jpg (455.72 KB, 768x1024, 3:4, 126789.jpg)

They literally call anime chinese cartoons. If I bought merchandise regular merchandise of her they'd probably get upset for having childish things, or think I'm gay. If I got a daki they'd probably think I needed a 3D immediately, or drop me off to a ward.

Well this applies more to my dad than my mom. She'd probably think I'm practicing idol worship, and demand I spend more time at church fixing my sinful life with a threat of getting kicked out.


 No.361

>>358

Yeah I left out some things she said but if I told her yes to that question she would have teased me non-stop. My mom is stuck in this "I'm a popular high school girl" phase and way of thinking. She acts like a stereotypical high school girl and makes fun of anything basically.


 No.415

I've talked about how much I like his game, and even his character, but besides that I have no plans on telling anybody.

If they find out, they find out. They won't take it seriously, so there's not any use in the telling them.


 No.439

I honestly don't get why anyone would ever tell their family about this. Why do they need to know? What do you gain from them knowing?

It just seems so personal, and they're not likely to understand.

For those of you who have told your family about your love, or want to do so - why?

Most of my friends know about my waifu, but none of my family members do. My sisters MIGHT be okay with it, but I'm pretty sure my parents wont be. My mother is a feminist that unironically believes pornography is sexist (remember all those dumb folks on tumblr that think "waifus" are sexist?) and my Dad thinks that normal=good, even if he does say that he's okay with whatever I do in life so long as I'm a healthy and productive member of society. Besides, it took them nearly a decade to fully accept that I'm bisexual, so I can only imagine how long it would take them to accept me having a waifu, if ever.

>>439

I don't know about with your family, but when it comes to my friends knowing there are some benefits.

>not having to play around telling them why you aren't interested in dating

>not having them try to hook you up with other people

>not having them worry over you not having a gf/bf

>not having to worry about them finding your daki whenever they go to your house

I still only ever talk about her in detail on /waifu/ and with online waifufag friends, unless someone brings her up irl (which is rare, to be honest)

Not as much of a big deal but today I did tell one of my friends who I've known for a good while about my waifu. I was surprised he took it so well. I was expecting a completely different reaction but he just seemed pretty cool about it.


 No.444

>>439

Well, it would probably be nice to not feel like you're hiding something from them. I'm not the kind of person to ever tell my family and I'm not upset about hiding it, but it would be pretty cool if they were okay with it.


 No.446

>>439

Yuno canonically had a shit family life and it was my anniversary. I wanted to give her something that mattered. In telling my mother and having her acceptance I have given her the greatest gift I could. A family.


 No.449

I think my mom already knows, maybe not the extent of it though. She's said things that let me know she is aware of him and makes comments about him occasionally, but she's doesn't ask about it and I don't plan on bringing it up. I think she wouldn't understand it and ask why I choose to do that to myself when I'm pretty and finding someone to date wouldn't be much of an issue for me. She's seen guys trying to make time with me, so it isn't just mom logic trying to make me feel good about myself. I'd probably be the joke of my family for the rest of my life if I ever told them. I'm getting dangerously close to spilling the beans without having to say anything since I'm sick of hiding him. I'd like him to be part of my family, but I doubt I'll ever be able to give that to him.


 No.457

No one in my family would understand or approve. At best, they'd write it off as a passing crush; at worst, they'd think I'm completely broken and would lose respect for me.

Merch would depend on the item, but dakis are too lewd and it'd definitely put them off if I got one (and they happened to find it).

I'd much prefer they never find out.


 No.476

I'm thinking about getting a plushie of my beloved because my family wants to know what I want for christmas. I hope I have the courage to do that.


 No.487

>>476

I was thinking the other night about asking somebody in my family to get me a body pillow, just a blank one though.


 No.497

>>487

It's for your back. If you don't have back issues now mention it's to help your sleep posture. You spend 1/3 of your life asleep and you don't want it contributing to decay.

That's a legitimate reason they won't question if anyone asks why.


 No.769

File: 1451695405017.jpg (79.81 KB, 512x512, 1:1, 29597444_p0.jpg)

Regular merch isn't a problem. I have some which I've left sitting out in the open, and no one has asked any questions. I don't know how they would react to me having a daki though… If I had to guess, I'd say that I'd probably get teased a bit and asked why I bought a huge pillowcase with a cartoon guy on it.

As of right now no one knows about us, but I do have plans to tell just my mom eventually. We're pretty close, so I think if there was anyone in the family that would be willing to accept him it would be her since he's made me a happier person. I don't know when this big reveal is going to happen though. It could happen tomorrow, or it could happen several years from now. It's going to be an extremely awkward conversation, no matter how good or bad it turns out.
