HOW WOULD READING MANGA BE EMBARRASSING? What's to hide? Everyone comes to me because I'm the go to guy for manga. I DO NOT hide the fact I read manga. It's not something serious, like being gay or something, and if a person has a problem with what I READ they're not much of a friend.
wow... way to be a douche about it. some people aren't in the same position as you. they could be a little shy about it or might be embarrassed by it because they don't want to be ridiculed by certain people.
There's nothing douchebagish about his comment. Fact is revealing you read manga is not nearly as big as coming out of the closet. Chances are if you reveal you read manga, your friends might bust your chops, you're "friends" might stop being friends, but that's because they were never real friends. And yea, a shy person may be hurt by that, but even they'll get over that pretty quickly. On the other hand, if someone comes out of the closet, even friends that would taken a bullet for them could still stop being their friend. That's how big that revelation is. The grandness of that revelation can not even compare to revealing you read manga.
