Do your parents resent you for owning anime merch?

I legit have a daki and my aunt(s) have been over and said its really pretty and show it to my other family members 😎
To my parents, it's not a matter of resentment but more of a concern that I'm shelling out so much money on a fictional figurine.. that money could have been used for better purposes, you know? Anime figurines are quite expensive in Malaysia. An average price for a figurine (RM60-100+, $15-25+) can easily fill my stomach breakfast/lunch/dinner for 2-3 weeks.
no not rly
i got my parents into those cartoons anyway so at least they understand the appeal behind some of the less trashy ones, like nge and akira:)
and sometimes i do buy cool stuff related to animays, not just dolls but i got the red kaneda akira jacket and parents thought it was actually rly nice.

I don’t think my parents care. I have posters all around my room and no one has said anything
I don't buy anime merch; my friends buy it for me without me asking. As a result, I have three pieces of anime merch: a custom shirt, an Eli Ayase nenderoid, and a Monika (I guess that's not really anime?) key chain.

My mom thinks they're superheroes so she ended up buying me a Studio Ghibli themed lanyard lol

Never a mistake

My southern ass white father actually likes my anime figurines but he still thinks im gay
I don't own any body pillows or any of that weird stuff so no lol
I don't own any anime merch so I can't really tell but I've seen the way they look at me when I'm watching it. I've tried to explain that some animes can be very mature with politics and everything. The harder I try the crazier they think I am
