If you don't seem like a mega autist with your mouth shut you can mention you watch "japanese cartoons" for a second before moving on to a separate hobby.

You could just not fucking watch anime when you're around other people, you retarded sperg.

Is that a real question? It's a garbage program.

I'll bite too, I guess.

I don't need to, but I don't flaunt it. I don't usually encounter situations where I have a pressing need to watch anime or read hentai in public.

If there are questions during normal conversation, though, an almost off-hand statement/reassurance that, in the country where I'm from, anime/chinese cartoons are regularly consumed, is generally enough. I'm not really lying, either.
It also discourages a negative reaction since there's a risk of the other party sounding xenophobic.
The topic is then shifted to something else.

I'm from taiwan.

This thread reminds my situation a bit, not that I have problems hiding (or even having to) hide my power level, but it easily shows through in the 700+ tabs I also keep open from session to session. I can't keep up with all the threads, doujins, mangas and so on and eventually I have to save the session "for later" (which I will actually probably never revisit again), begin a new one but soon enough I will be sitting on 500+ tabs of new (and lots of the same) content again.

I can't be the only one with that problem, so how do you guys manage? Any useful tools I'm not aware of? Are tabs and session saving add-ons dated at this point? This is like backlogs that only keep on growing.

A key bind linked to script I made minimizes all windows and pauses mplayer. Then introducing a modifier into the keybind brings it all back up and resumes playing.

It used to also change the wallpaper but I don't use cute girls as wallpapers anymore. It's not about powerlevels.

>>118531819

I use VerticalTabs so I can see everything better but I only end up with 200+ tabs if I get carried away during masturbation.

I mainly keep the booru tabs confined to Chrome, but Chromium is maybe 25% weeb content and Firefox is at least 1500 tabs of booru porn.
Needless to say my computer is locked any time I'm away. Though if you use Linux you can just switch to another desktop to easily hide that shit from anyone only familiar with Windows.
There may be software giving that capability to Windows (don't know) but it comes natively on just about any Linux variant.
I'd only be using Debian or whatnot if I didn't play games like Fallout on occasion. Wine and Playonlinux are hardly 100% reliable.

Is that a gigantic thick dildo supporting it?

>>118531819
That happens sometimes, but on a smaller scale.
I just do everything like that in a private browsing mode and never save anything if I'm not going download it directly. When I'm done with the fap, I go through and download anything I liked and close them one-by-one until there's none left. It creates a nice barrier between 'normal' browsing and h-browsing and works pretty well at keeping the amount of tabs down since doujins/boorus/pixiv take up a ton of tabs.

>>118532117
Definitely not.
Almost any scene with hachikuji would immediately get you branded a total creep at the very least.

What is your definition of "hiding your power level"?
Either A) Not admitting you watch anime when being asked, refusing to show even small anime related nuances in public (straps/phone backgrounds) or B) Not autistically bringing up anime to everyone/telling people you have a 2D waifu

You both are wrong, the trick is to not let what others might think stop you from doing the things you like, or feeling bad about them in private. That's your time. Not being ashamed of your hobbies is part of maturity. However, going around in PUBLIC, and in SOCIETY, as if other people's view of you doesn't matter is a whole different thing. It does matter what people think of you, and it's best to put on your "socially acceptable" face when in public. This is part of living in fucking society as a functioning human being. In the privacy of your own house on your own time or with close friends? Run around naked jacking it to lolis for all they care.

Have my screen facing away from the doorway.

Also never watch anime when my 12 year old step brother is here. He's the worst pleb imaginable, a living version of the type we make fun of on here. Calls anime "animes", watches dubs on Hulu and adult swim, doesn't even know what CrunchyRoll is let alone fansubs or torrenting.

I totally get what you say. I'm not against others being as passionate about anime/Japan in the levels that you suggest, but I certainly haven't acted like that in the mean time, mainly because of my kind of personality.

Either way, I see why people who are used to hide their power-level get upset with the "attention whores" of the anime "community".

I've yet to befriend person IRL that has actually watched something that hasn't been localised or had actually read a title/VN/LN or played a video game from Japan released less than 5 years ago.

It's not like I have friends to begin with, so that's pretty much a fantasy of mine.

There's no point for me to try and hide my power level anymore.

Honestly, at this point I feel like I could only date someone who browses /a/.

So basically I'm going to be alone forever. I don't even get to be a wizard.

I feel like I'm the only one without a damn smartphone these days. My 10 year old brother, as well as my 45 year old mom has a smartphone, while I opted for a cheap flip phone that stays charged for weeks because I literally never use it.

I have and I'm glad I did. He even introduced me to more anons that watch anime as well. It's so difficult to actually find non autists who watch anime in real life and befriends with them.

I would but I grew up with them. They're good people and they helped me balance my shit together similar to what >>118537237 stated.

I have a dumbphone too. You're not alone.

It's pretty convenient to browse shit while in the shitter or fapping in bed. People just generally use them for social network shit.

There's a difference between messing with you friends and outright shunning them as >>118538720 put it.

I know this is a difficult concept to wrap around for the average anon, so I don't blame you.

I watch anime on my tablet in a cafe during my break every day and nobody says anything.

I lost my head in a harmless discussion and I pointed out her entire ideology was garbage

Do you idiots know what a Firefox profile is?

Holy shit, I thought /a/ and /g/ were the same thing. How come everyone here is so technology retarded?

I only really use my phone as a media player when I'm out. It's just more convenient than carrying an MP3 player and a dumbphone space-wise.

Remember where you are, m8?

>>118539273
I do that all the time too but I make sure no one can watch me from behind.
