Wow! It's great that u guys can open up about your H!P fandom to your parents. I, on the other hand is hesistant about that....
Although I did show them pics or Yossy before and they don't have much comment about that, but that me to blame since I've only showed them some Yossy goodness so I can't expect them to grasp the awesomeness of Yossy.
My sisters, on the other hand, seen my pb of Kamei Eri since I've shown them from time to time. so they're more accustomed to Eri. I did get some pretty good comments on her looks, but since I've never shown them videos of Eri in action, they, too won't know the greatness of the Turtle. I mean, I'd tried but they're not interested right now other than their male idols. They always use the excuse "I'm not interested in girls, sorry" but I tell them the love for H!P is universal.
But even though, my family thinks my love for H!P girls and Japanese in general (culture, tech, anime/manga, cars, history,etc.), transcends to all Japanese girls, so whenever a japanese girls pops up on TV, movies or anywhere they would tease me about it.
