I'm kinda jealous that in America you can apparently be a somewhat regular person and still have interest in anime. It doesn't seem as strictly limited for the most extreme social outcasts and the lowest scum degenerates like here in Europe where you have to guard it as your deepest secret if you want to hold on to any social status or relationships.
I don't know where you live in Europe but I live in the U.K. and haven't had anything negative said to me because I like anime. I've even gone to a few anime and japan themed cons and my friends either came with me or didn't really care.
Games on the other hand! Had a few people be disparaging about them.
