Yes I am a huge gaiafag in real life.

Yes I, durrrr toohoo durr majik duznt xzist IRL.

shut up op and post the nigger version

I surpass it.

Nobody even would know what I am talking about, so why bother?

I suppress it. Most I do is listen to Japanese music on MP3 player or play visual novels when I know nobody is around to see it.

>>4435884

Suppress it. Also I can't stand people who talk about anime and such in public. It's not a social thing, it should be like masturbating, done alone and with a lot of shame attached to it.

>>4435940
This tripfag makes sense

I suppress it somewhat, but I have a Yuka wallpaper at work so...

>>4435958
Funny. I have a rather creepy Yuuka wallpaper at work as well.

I don't talk about my interests in public because I don't want to be associated with the bad parts of the fanbase.

I'm openly durrrr toohoo durr majik duznt xzist. I play tennis and football, and I almost never forget to brag that my superiour reflexes aree due rigorous Touhou gaming.

When you are cool enough, you determine what's cool.

Even if I were to spout random touhou references, nobody would get them. Either way you're pretty much safe.

>or do you spout durrrr toohoo durr majik duznt xzist
If I want to deal with that sort of stuff, I'd just go on /jp/.

Fucking /a/ thread.

suppress.

but when nobody's looking i draw 2d porn in my notebooks.

A powerlevel isn't something you have to actively suppress. Not running around yelling about weeaboo shit isn't suppressing anything, it's just acting like someone who isn't a complete jackass.

I mostly keep it suppressed. I do occasionally let out a "Do not want" in response to new work, or spontaneously start whistling Border of Life, Necrofantasia, Marionette Messiah, or GONG. Nobody's detected me yet.

Depends on who I'm talking to.

I have "western" dork friends who enjoy things like Star Trek and Star Wars, and since I know they don't give a shit I don't tell them about the Toohoos.

My one relatively normal friend found my Touhou game folder on my laptop once and asked me "what the fuck is this?" I told him about it a little and he says "that's gay, it sounds easy as shit."

So I let him play it (I started him on MoF Extra, heh) and he gets annihilated 20 seconds in. Now he just refers to it as "lolis throwing mountains at each other"

you should stop thinking about your self-image when you're on the internet

I talk about it with my non otaku friends if it's relevant to the conversation. I don't hide what I like, but I don't flaunt it.

>>4436045
>Marionette Messiah

Good taste, but no Trombe, Dark Prison or Baran Doban?

>>4435943
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF I WANTED OT POST THAT YOU YOU

>>4436097
Go back to bed Milan.

Suppress it like like I'm hidin' leprosy.

My own family didn't even know I was studying Japanese until 6 months in.

>>4436066

I want my friends to try touhou just because they all constantly whine about how every game they play is too easy.

I usually supress it since nobody is interested in it anyway. Everyone watches fcking Chuck.

>>4436066
>Now he just refers to it as "lolis throwing mountains at each other"
This. Except my friend refers to Touhou as "they game with the flying balls?"

Mom likes my dolls ;_;

Suppress it, the only one who knows about the shit I watch/have is my brother, because we share interests.

Nope, 98% of my powerlevel is exposed at work.

So about 30+ people know about it, and I work with 7~ of them on my shift.

USAF fuck yeah~

>>4436476

how?

You play touhou while providing firing solutions/calculating flight paths?

>>4436476
I take it you keep your loli porn off-base?

now that OP's post was aimed at normalfags I think it's safe for me to present this question:
what the fuck is "powerlevel"? where did it come from? what are you using it to refer to as?

I dont suppress it but I dont talk about "that" stuff unless somebody asks. Actually I rarely talk to anyone besides my family and they've seen my room anyways so no point in hiding my hobbies from them.

I'm not a hikikomori and I don't talk about any of my interests. But then again I don't have any friends offline to begin with.

>>4436556
It refers to the extent to which you are an insufferable weeaboo.

If you don't hide your powerlevel, you tell everyone you love anime and constantly try to make anime expressions and reactions (like falling on the ground when someone surprises you) and inserting 'kawaii' into your sentences.

>>4436585
Some people think ''hiding/suppressing your powerlevel'' means completely hiding the fact you like anything Japanese from everyone.
Thats probably just underage kids who'd get bullied in school if somebody knew they like those ''girly cartoons'' though.

>>4436556
The phrase "power level" is reference to the anime Dragon Ball Z.

It involves the term "over 9000."

>>4436508
How?

Well since I know almost nothing about popular culture, and pretty much never leave my room, I really have nothing else to talk about with everyone since they are all normalfags or party goers.

Well, sometimes I talk a little /g/, but it's mostly me telling them how to fix their computers.

Its so much fun trying to explain why I am still a virgin, don't like 3d, never want to leave my room etc.

>>4436515
Truecrypted USB stick I always have in my pocket.

I started to talk to someone who isn't into anime or manga anymore but knows about VN etc. He's an elitist too so it's fun to talk to him.

I have a Naruto headband glued to my head so I can't.

ANd since I am only a TDY with 2 others from my shop, and I the only one that brought my monitor, laptop, speakers and controllers with me I've managed to get them to play SWR and POFV.

They just call them the loli games though...

>>4436768
>Its so much fun trying to explain why I am still a virgin, don't like 3d, never want to leave my room etc.
I guess it's the kind of attention-seeking fun that comes naturally to those who take tripcodes.

fucking /a/ thread.

rude sage&report.

>>4436850
I thought power levels were a jp thing too?

Suppress. Duh.

If you're not fucked in the head, then your enjoyment of anime/manga/otaku culture/raping little girls is a facet of your personality that can be expressed at will, not the single defining trait of your conversations.

Jesus.

>>4436863
Not this kind of powerlevel discussion.

The other kind that is usually expressed in the form that starts with "ORT >> .... > ... > ..., etc."

MOAR SAGE

>>4436876
Why wouldnt this be a /jp/ thing?
Its true that /a/ cares (or at least I remember them caring) about it a lot more than /jp/, though.

>>4436556
>what the fuck is "powerlevel"? where did it come from? what are you using it to refer to as?
Goddamn you're an idiot.
If you don't know that, you must be an underaged b&.

>>4436823
>I've managed to get them to play SWR and POFV.

But those are the two easiest.

I don't go out of my way to make people think I'm something I'm not, but I don't go to the other extreme either.

If someone asked me if I like Anime or Japanese sex games, I wouldn't deny it in most cases. When people ask me why I'm learning Japanese, I tell them for Japanese games and animation.

suppress, i don't think anyone knows

when i'm at work i make sure to open two browser windows, one for research/work and another for jpop and all sorts of embarrassing shit to listen to.

Suppress. Like you should.

If you're really fucking cool, you can actually help make these things seem legit...but you're not really fucking cool, and it just makes sense to keep your head down until you know your surroundings.

I also don't openly talk about how I don't believe in an invisible sky fairy. Christians and other religious types may have their own mystical romance fantasy world going on around them, but sometimes Christians end up in the majority. Just like normalfags. And then they act like dicks.

Saging because this thread is bad and you should feel bad.

>>4437116
yet another person using sage as a personal insult.

>>4437126
Insult, yes. Personal, no.

Also, because I didn't want to bump the thread.

I've seen this thread before a lot. It's been mined out, IMO. Thus, 'bad.' ...and I doubt the author didn't know that, so author is bored and trolling. Content would be preferable.

Now I'll go and troll by starting up my own thread in /a/ that has even less content. ...so I don't really have the moral high ground. <shrug>

>>4436095
Well, whistling has limitations, and in most cases I wind up butchering melodies, slipping from one instrument to the next until I jump tracks entirely. Trombe keeps getting overridden by Blue Danu- er, Border of Life.

I think the only possible venue for my whistling would be one of Margatroid's QUALITY releases.

>>4436998
Gateway games

Like a few of here said, I don't suppress them as much as I don't talk about it unless it comes up in conversation or relevant to the context.

I sometimes wear shirts with touhou references on it like the yukkuris. Surprisingly, no one gives a shit. A few think they're adorable. (inb4 yukkuri abuse)

>>4437212
My thoughts exactly

>>4437116
Your opinion has been noted.

>>4437346
Ah, I have a Little Busters shirt I wear out as well.
Not that I go anywhere besides the BX anyway...

>>4437197
>Trombe keeps getting overridden
Wow, dude, you've got it backwards.
Fix that shit up.
