Do you hide your "power level?"

Sometimes. Although it can be helped since my last two expositions about producers were about Yasutaka Nakata (capsule, Kyary Pamyu Pamyu) and REDALiCE. Surprisingly enough, there's a shitload of weaboos in my college so it was okay, they always bring it up on the convos so it's okay.

Homewever, a couple of years back i was the weeb dude who wore Naruto bandanas and anime t-shirts. I had a crossbag with a crapload of huge ass pins on it and the likes.

From what I've seen, at long as they're not some trust-fund prep kid, pretty much everyone's seen at least one offbeat anime these days. Even my old highschool buddy, who makes his living washing dishes and busking with a violin, said he absolutely adored Welcome to the NHK.

But anyways. As for myself I go to a tech school, so it's pretty much a given that everyone's at least a partial weeb. Ironically, the only people I hide my power level from are the people who actively expose theirs: The Anime Club here is super-ultra-lame, chock full of super-ultra-lamewads that won't shut up about Naruto ships and behold JJBA as if it were the crown jewel of Japanese animation. Not exactly the most pleasant types.

I usually talk about anime and what not but my power level isn't that high so it isn't that big of an issue. With people I just met though I won't bring it up until it's our second or third time talking.

My autismpower level is so high I don't even talk to people

If it's ever brought up, I don't mind discussing it. I don't want to be overzealous about that sort of thing.

No one knows I'm a weeb other than my 3 close friends. My family knows I like anime, but just not to the extent. It's easy because my little cousins are massive weebs, so it's easy to hide in comparison.

Well, I can contain myself normally, but if you come up to me and tell me Fairy Tail is good, I'll slice your throat with my katana. Also hope nobody comes to my house, because I've got a body pillow that stands on its own.

Do I ever take anything seriously?

You don't, but that's why we like you.

Also, if someone asks, I'm honest about it.

A little, wait no not at all, im a full on weeb berg with tumblr hair.

I don't see much of a reason to disguise my power level in public.  Well, I don't get out that much lately anyways because I haven't had a job in months, but even then I don't care if people know that I watch anime and read comic books.  I don't care if they think of me as some creepy weirdo because they probably already think that of me.  I never bring the topic up, but if someone asks me what my hobbies are one of them, the main one, will be watching anime and cartoons, and if they ask me about it, I'll talk about it in an honest and mature way.

No i don't hide my power level,. If a conversation brings up an opportunity to talk about anime, I'll do it and say everything I have to say that is appropriate for the conversation about anime, how I watch it, and talk about it. No, I don't parade around screaming "I love anime, western shows are trash" because i'm not a retard. I stay away from weeaboos because they cannot restrain themselves and I can't bear talking to them while knowing they act this way even though I usually have seen way more anime than them.

If you need to "hide your power level" in public, you are obviously doing something wrong with your life, as you're basically afraid of yourself, you stupid fucking weaboo.

also, i don't give a fuck if i have an anime item in public, it's never something ecchi and weird so i'm fine.

And if you have something ecchi and weird, be sure i'm judging you and i'll be as far away from you as possible

I like to keep everything discrete (not just anime), I have anime gear that I wear. I just prefer to be unreadable so people can't assume what I'm into unless they try to get to know me, only leaving hints for people that are familiar with the stuff I'm into (like recognizing small symbols and shit from either anime, games or bands that I discretely wear). If we're having a discussion I would never hide my so called "power level" because I'm not insecure about shit like that. If someone doesn't want to get to know me based on something I enjoy then fuck 'em, I've got wonderful friends already.

I don't actively hide it, I just don't talk about it since most people in my major are more into games than actual anime. However whenever I meet someone that does watch, I do enjoy talking to them about it. Though I've had a couple situations where they've asked me what animes I enjoyed recently and I accidently let Bible Black out instead of Black Lagoon, and I did not realize until I was heading home.

I agree with this ^
