This. Grow a pair and not give a fuck.

Your parents sound pretty funny. I'm sure they have bad qualities that you can make fun of them for as well.

I'm going to have to agree with Sikachu.

If, at this day and age, you're still unable to confront your parents about something that is bothering you, you have some more serious problems than them thinking you're gay to deal with. I used to sleep with a stuffed animal until I was 13, and then I realized, damn, if anyone ever knew...I'd never hear the end of it.

You should be grateful your parents didn't call you out on any of that stuff. Jeez, a poster is one thing, but a pillow case...I don't know about that.

Besides what we think, you should be able to just tell your parents how you feel about the whole situation anyway. If it bothers you that much that you think that they think you're gay, then just tell them. Otherwise, you're just going to go crazy.

Act REALLY gay, even if you aren't.

According to sitcom logic, it should provide some amusing results.

Meh, maybe I live in a such unrealistically awesome place, but I haven't noticed any homophobia around me. My parents wouldn't care if I were gay or not, and what exactly is the problem with being gay?

Pink is a damn manly colour, too.

The Pillow: Well frankly, I'm a bit grossed out about things resembling Japanese love pillows as well.

Twilight: That doesn't have to do with sexuality, its just because she knows you don't like it.
To me a "japanese lvoe pillow" is a whole pillow made out as a woman (shape and whatevers on it) my pillow case is just that, a pillow case, something to guard my face against god knows what mold or dirt or grime is on my pillow (my pillow looks like a bandage from the civil war)
If that is all you believe pillow cases are, and if you feel insecure about what people will think of your current pillow case, then it shouldn't be much trouble to just find a less "gay-looking" one and be satisfied with it.

Also, it sounded like your mom was just poking fun at you. To take a borderline sarcastic comment like that and form an entire half of a theory is just paranoid. You're taking whatever events support your theory and highlighting them the most in your head, while ignoring everything else over the years that has pointed otherwise. If you call those two events "judgement" against you, then clearly you're just digging for reasons to dislike your parents.

Put it this way, they haven't really said anything about being disgusted with you.

If all your dad did was 'look' at your pillow case and then NOT say anything, I think he was doing pretty well. He didn't criticize you openly.

Its always been the job of mothers to somehow or the other embarrass their children. Learn to live with it.

Now I've been wondering this for a while now and I think my parents think I'm gay, or there's something wrong with me. Tonight my dad had brought over my brothers stuff from my brothers old place, when he left I think he was eyeing my pink pillow case with an anime girl on it. If you must know, it is from the "Record of Agarest War" collectors edition and I only got the game for the collectors edition (I'm crazy about these things) but he was eyeing it for longer then then just looking at it, he also had a certain look on his face, almost like a look of disgust.

Now my mother, while I was in her room talking to her, a Twilight Eclipse commercial came on the TV and she said "Look *insert my name here* it's your favorite show" now...why would she say that? That's not even funny, it just...FUCK it makes me so angry, I fucking hate when people make jokes about that, it's in bad taste and not funny (I fucking hate that series) so why would she do this??? Last but not least she has made two fat jokes about me recently....and I'm not even fat.


So my question is what should I do? Should I talk to them about this or just grin and bear it and have my paranoid mind put thoughts into my head? Also what do you think of parents who judge their own kids?
I think you should ditch the pink pillow case man.. seriously.
But a mom making a joke isn't exactly malicious.. She knows you hate it, its a sarcastic comment. For example, I really dislike a certain brand of chicken, when my mom makes it, and i ask whats for dinner she says "your favorite"

Wait wait wait, how could you possibly interpret your dad looking displeasingly at a pillow with an anime girl on it, your mother making several fat jokes and a smart-ass remark about twilight geared towards you as them thinking you're gay?

Stop trolling.
There's nothing wrong to have a pillow of an anime-girl.
After seeing an image of the pillow, the look is 100% warranted. That's just strange, no guy should have that as his pillow, in his room.

I didn't want to say it, but the signs are there...

Your dad was looking at your pillow for longer than was warranted. This shows a particular interest in what the pillow symbolizes. His look of disgust is simply a cover to hide what he really feels.

Your mother points out Glee and makes "fat" jokes at your expense; it is her way of making you think, "Surely she is not interested in Glee, nor does she consider herself fat, because she is criticizing me for those things."

They are your parents, but you must help them see that you won't judge them. They are lashing out to hide their self-imposed shame.

point out that at least your hot girl pillow has a HOT GIRL ON IT, not a dude... you can also let them catch you looking at straight porn. Girlfriend would help.

Oh and my mom loves the twilight saga too. We JUST got into an argument as to why I feel its an unhealthy relationship between bella and Edward.

you sound to be in your teens. I went through the same thing. Till my parents caught me looking at straight porn... and my dad goes "hey, at least he's not gay"

But even if you are... so what. Be with whoever makes you happy.

Gay or not, it's irrelevant. There's too much prejudice in this world and it's messed up. Everyone needs to accept that everyone's different. I don't see that happening anytime soon, but I have shallow remenants of hope for human intelligence as a whole. No offence but your parents sound to be acting like pricks, most people do from time to time and god knows i'm no exception. What's important is that you are happy with who you are as a person. As long as you're happy and you're not hurting anyone, everything else is secondary. That's how everyone should see it and if they do hopefully the world would be a better place but, like I said, won't happen anytime soon. Don't try to change the world or change yourself to fit society, be who you are and accept that some people will look down on you for it. You are your choices.

You're right. As a man he needs a far more risque pillowcase.


It's not pink right? :D Seriously, there's nothing wrong with it. He's not marrying the damn thing.

OP: Seriously, you shouldn't care what they think. If it's really bothering you then talk to them about it. I took such an initiative. Informed my parents about anime, showed them some shows, showed them different things that are parts of the fandom, etc. Now at this point I have my posters, figures and giant manga collection and they're just fine with it. Same goes for my friends, even the ones that aren't really fans of anime.

Be comfortable with yourself for who you are and others should come around. Parents should be supportive of their kids and their interests anyways be it anime, art, dance, music, whatever.

your dad was eyeing your pillow not because it was pink but because he's wondering why somebody would sleep with a cartoon or like something so much they'd buy it on a pillow.
and I think your mom is just being good natured.

My dad has been calling me gay all my life. Not because I'm gay, because he uses it as an insult. It used to make me upset, and from when I was 10 - 12 I was very homophobic because of that upbringing, but then I learned that I don't care what he thinks because hes an idiot. I realised how stupid I'd been being so actively against being called gay because I have no problem with homosexuality in the slightest.

If your parents do think you are gay and joke about it, just be the bigger man here and ignore them. At the end of the day, you being "gay" shouldn't make any difference to them, and if they treat you badly because of it then its time to move out.

Although you haven't answered this yet: ARE you gay?

Regardless, your dad probably looked at the pillowcase in disgust for being a Anime girl (I know my parents hate me liking Anime).

As for twilight, I dunno maybe your mom did it out of a joke knowing you hate the franchise.
Look at the game the one guy linked, and tell me if you think hes gay...

Would a gay man buy the NAUGHTY addition of a game involving busty anime women?
