What do you think of this shirt?

[Mr. Detective]

I just ordered a custom shirt with a picture of Lightning and Hope on it. Sometimes, I would order a shirt like this with a picture of a game that I like to spice up my wardrobe. I had shirts with wallpaper from Mega Man Network, P4A, Xillia, and now this one.

Would you think it's weird if you see someone wearing an anime or video game themed shirt walking around casually? My mom was quite puzzled as to why I am so obsessed with these children cartoon.  BD   She also questioned my sexuality, because she saw these girls (the guys are on the shirt too, but she didn't care) and was wondering if I was, you know...

I'm not crazy about that shirt in particular (the obvious rectangular cutoff on the picture doesn't do it any favors and the material looks too thin to feel comfortable), but I fully endorse anyone walking around wearing stuff from games, movies, or other media that they like.  I proudly wear my Corporate Mundo shirt anywhere I can.  I think a lot of people, especially of our age, can appreciate this kind of stuff.

Interesting point about sexuality though.  When you wear something you're not just expressing you like it, but that you identify with it.  I just thought for a few minutes about whether I'd wear, for example, a Railgun T-shirt outside if I had one.  And yes, I think I would, but only to places or situations where I already knew people well.  Because for something that looks so effeminate at first glance, it's reasonable that people would get the wrong impression about who I am, and that's good for neither them nor me.  I'd be much more comfortable wearing, for example, the mixed-gender, quirky, slightly badass-looking cast of NANA.

And if you're in a position and a mindset that you want to simply surround yourself with everything you like and not give a damn what others think, and you're willing to live with the unfair consequences of it... that's great, and more power to you.

As for me, people can wear, play, watch and do whatever they want and like - no matter how stupid/silly that will be.

About the shirt: Overall it's good, but I kinda disliked that cutoff on the bottom of the picture - it's just look kinda weird.

No, I don't think it's weird of somebody wears an anime or video game themed shirt. About the sexuality thing, you should see my shirt first. However my one isn't a custom shirt. ^^

Is the cut-off at the bottom of the picture really that noticeable? Thought it was fine and all. I was careful to choose one that blends well with the shirt's color.

Heheh. Post a picture of it.
