RE: ever made fun of for liking beyblade? - Raineth - Apr. 24, 2008
I haven't really done anything related to Beyblade in the past few years, so I didn't have anything to hide.
But when I was 13/14, back when it was super popular, I never told anyone (because that's the age where you want to fit in right?) and none of my friends liked Beyblade. So I decided to keep it to myself and enjoy it instead of going public and giving people a chance to ruin it for me.

I told a few people and only one person made fun of me for it because he was a douchebag. He made it some racist slur thing too I dunno wtf he said it for, but yeah I keep to myself all the time because I used to get made fun of by people constantly.

How's Pcyborg? I remember and used to talk to him but I think he's usually asleep or something.
Still good, as much of an enigma as ever I suppose. I wouldn't be surprised if he's lurking here and reading. He's graduating next year from technical school. We'll probably end up drafted into military service at the same time.

Not directly...
in 4th grade, when the world championships was going on, some jerk was like "Who plays with blades so stupid?" and blah... it made me not want to tell anyone...
I'm 13 now, trying to get myself to tell people beyblade is cool... and returning ^^
Not ever directly made fun of, besides my Mom, Dad, Little Brother, and Older Bother. Thats everyone in my family.

Being made fun of by your parents really reflects a sad state of affairs in parenting these days.
RE: ever made fun of for liking beyblade? - Kira - Apr. 26, 2008
Thanks xD
They're okay, not really supporting... but they're not really doing anything to raise my hopes...
I put up with it, after all, they give me allowance, and I use it for buying things for my "other stupid anime" shows.
Liked beyblade since 2nd grade...
RE: ever made fun of for liking beyblade? - Bey Brad - Apr. 26, 2008
Nobody spends money well at thirteen years old. It's not like you'll want most of the carp you buy in five years anyway. Enjoy it man.
As for your parents, tell them that they're supposed to love and support you, and at least you are doing something healthy and fun.
RE: ever made fun of for liking beyblade? - Kira - Apr. 26, 2008
I buy books, save for when Beyblade comes back, some college, I only buy books though... Warriors, Fruits Basket, Prince of Tennis...
Recently I bought about 30 something for Prince of Tennis things.
I will ^^
Healthy? Somewhat... I mean, I sit around computer a lot and search for beyblade stuff, like other fans, new things, my old friends etc. I play tennis and lacrosse too though. I think I'm pretty rounded.
I will tell them... besides anime and manga, they're really supporting and stuff. But its too bad for them that anime and manga is so big in my life.

You'll probably grow out of it, but your parents need to realize that young kids have hobbies.
RE: ever made fun of for liking beyblade? - Kira - Apr. 26, 2008
Nya, I'm not that young... 13 is a teen
But yeah, I am a kid.Then again, everyone has hobbies, and anime is just one of mine.
RE: ever made fun of for liking beyblade? - Pich - Apr. 26, 2008

RE: ever made fun of for liking beyblade? - G - Apr. 26, 2008

RE: ever made fun of for liking beyblade? - AnnieDuck - Apr. 26, 2008

RE: ever made fun of for liking beyblade? - Pich - Apr. 26, 2008

RE: ever made fun of for liking beyblade? - AnnieDuck - Apr. 26, 2008

RE: ever made fun of for liking beyblade? - Blue - Apr. 26, 2008
dude of course i've been made fun of. not alot though.
RE: ever made fun of for liking beyblade? - DormantSpirit - Apr. 27, 2008
I told a buddy of mine they might be coming back in Japan. He was all for importing them over.
He had a Wolborg MS lying in his closet. Apparently he didn't know the awesomeness that is Wolborg MS. I still manage to beat his carp though. DARK EFFIGY FTW!!!1111
His little brother thought he could win easily with an uncustomised Dragoon V2.
But lets not forget about the good old compact blades. I managed to scrape together a 10bBistoolthe other week.
In other words, I aint doin too bad. It's just my mother dearest thinks it's a nasty little kiddies hobby that I haven't managed to kick yet.
RE: ever made fun of for liking beyblade? - Seldia - Apr. 27, 2008
A big problem with the world is that people like us end up being afraid to show that we like beyblades, almost purely from the animé causing kids (guilty of doing it
) to yell at their beyblades and imagine giant beasts roaring out of them and attacking each other. Beyblades in themselves are great but it's the concept that takes it further than a game that makes people dislike them.I'm 16 and I've re-discovered Beyblades recently, I was and I still am a devout Kai fan and I love the competition, the feeling and the general experience of it, giant, glowing creatures or not. Just cuz I'm twice the age on the label it doesn't mean I'm not allowed to like them but it's hard to get other people to understand that XD My parents don't know and whenever I'm watching beyblade episodes online I have to quickly alt-tab lol. My advice to anyone that's being bullied or made fun of for liking it is simply ignore it, take it from someone that was helped by it- After time it makes you a better and stronger person as long as it doesn't go too far
N.B. Sorry for the essay xD

Thats like two of my bears combined into one. I have a pink one (Eddy Teddy) and a big brown one named Grandpa Eddy. (All of my bears are named Eddy :lol: )

Well I like BeyBlades and I also have a speech problem and a lazy eye and I get nerves and roll my neck( Don't ask) and that why people make fun of me, they called me a fag, gay,retard and other carp. I am fine with little group of people but when I in a place with thousand of people then I Get Nerves. They Also called me a beast and a mental person because I freakling ggrab someone by the throat and punch him( Don't ban me for this Brad)
see people don't understand we people like anime and play these game, they hate them but we like them. They Called us a retard but look at the people that making fun of you.
RE: ever made fun of for liking beyblade? - Seldia - Apr. 28, 2008
Beyblading is great because you don't need anything special to practice, play or even just have fun
Sports require alot more while beyblading can be as simple or as complicated as you like. Personally I think football is a stupid game (soccer, I'm british ) but because the majority think it's the best thing since sliced bread (Although I don't know which came first: soccer or sliced bread ). I know Im sounding like a total beyblade nut but it's true, as hobbies go it's a pretty harmless one.
