I like what I like and I don't hide it.
Unless, it is something intimate/mature content.
We all like what we like and sometimes it's different from our social circle.
That is okay and accepting people's differences should be normalized.
If it isn't hurting anyone, anything or yourself, it's okay to like something.
No one should hide liking anime or be involved in uncomfortable conversations about something liked.
Friends can tease and all, but at the end of the day, respecting what you like is most important.
