Registered as a sex offender for his collection that featured some yaoi and yuri. Oh boy!
I saw this article some time ago, and like Madanthony said before: another step backward for weeaboo kind and the animu/mango community. I'm still going to be open about my animu/mango hobby; but the "questionable stuff" and really stereotypical looking stuff that people like to stereotype anime and manga as stays on the down low. What I mean is that I can't praise some titles enough openly: like Cowboy Bebop, Yotsuba&!, and Hayao Miyazaki's movies, but hide things that people will look down at me for: Lucky Star, the unholy trinity of shonen manga, shoujo, anything remotely ecchi, and anything with the tropes that people think of anime/manga as crap or questionable that people will want to think of me and the stuff I enjoy as something to look down upon and view me as some kind of freak.
