Today, my boyfriend called me and I told him about the AnimeCon I'm attending, and that I wanted to go as Sailor Mars, he told me he had no idea what that was. After being mad for about ten minutes, I realized that I wanted to break up with him over not knowing what Sailor Moon was. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my boyfriend introduced me to his parents and siblings for the first time. Their first reaction was, "Oh? You're her? All this time we thought you're some cartoon character from yet another lousy anime he keeps babbling about." FML
Today, at a Con, I saw a girl in an impressive cosplay of a character from one of my favorite video games. I complimented her on her costume and got a picture with her. Later, my girlfriend called me a cheating creep and broke up with me. FML
Today, my boyfriend broke up with me, because apparently I need to "grow up". He's the one who excessively plays Call of Duty and still has Pokémon and Bionicles in his room. FML
Today, my boyfriend dumped me for knowing more about Batman than he does. He's only seen some of the movies, and as a kid my dad owned a comic book store. He still doesn't see why I should know more, because I'm a girl, and "girls aren't supposed to know about superheroes." FML
Today, I went to a wedding with my boyfriend. He became moonstruck with one my friends and said she looked sexy in her dress. The whole night, I was nonexistent to him. He’s now confused as to why I’m giving him the silent treatment. He literally has no clue. FML
Today, my boyfriend and I broke up because we got into a fight over what color that confusing black and blue and white and gold dress was. FML
Today, I went to go meet my boyfriend at a restaurant to tell him it just wasn't working out. Before I could do so, he proposed. I had to tell him no, so he started to cry and ran out. Everyone looked at me like some kind of monster. FML
Today, my boyfriend of two years said he would finally take me somewhere romantic. I spent my day at a Star Wars convention. FML
Today, my boyfriend and I had the worst fight of our relationship, and I’m not sure we’re going to make it. Why? Because out of all his hobbies and interests that I’ve happily joined in on, I said I had no interest in Harry Potter. FML
Today, I told my husband we could have a "him" day, visit the comic book and games stores, then watch anime. He refused to believe I was genuine, and asked what bad thing I did that I was trying to make up for. We ended up not doing any of it because he thinks I can’t be nice to him without a motive. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

How old are you? Ten? You don't break up with someone for that kind of reason.

Why would you go as Sailor Mars? Sailor Moon is...just lame, old, and stupid. O-o Why not pick something more mainstream? O-o Kuroshitsuji and Soul Eater are now pretty popular and not as mainstream as some others. But they're still too typical. :/

Being an otaku isn't just being manga. Hell, even the majority of Japanese don't like otakus. I'm technically one myself. :P Not that it's anything to be proud of. But it's always amusing to meet white girl 'otakus.' People, why the **** you guys judging?

1. FYL, this FML has cheered me up slightly after losing a few friends off Steam (who I rarely talk with anyhow) due to arguments about Terraria and Minecraft. FML too I guess. 2. To the inevitable weeaboo hurlers: ANIME FANS =/= WEEABOOS. Weeaboos are wannabe Japanese, meaning they walk, talk, and act Japanese. Weeaboos are typically anime fans, however this does NOT mean all anime fans are weeaboos. 3. YDI as well...for obvious reasons. My best friend doesn't know a good few awesome anime, he's still my best friend. Just because he doesn't know K-ON! doesn't mean I'm gonna RAEGGG at him and tell him to **** off... 4. Sailor Moon is too easy and a bit overdone (right there under Naruto and Bleach...at least you aren't one of those pubin' Swimtards). How about Strike Witches? Try it ;)

All of you who criticize OP and/or those who have no idea what Sailor Moon is.. LOOK IT UP!!! Ever since I was 6, I was fond of Sailor Moon. They even aired it on Toonami, Local channels, and even on Kids WB. It was the best Anime Series I had ever watched. I am SHOCKED to see that many users have no idea who or what Sailor Moon is and #357's comment made me really angry beyond words. If I wanted to go to Anime-con, I would love to Cosplay as one of my Favorite Characters. I didn't care what people think if I went out as a Sailor Scout (Sailor Senshi in Japan) to a Cosplay event. Also, to the users who left condescending/offensive comments on OP's anecdote, don't tell OP that she needs to get a life and "get you priorities straight". You are all idiots for voting that she deserved it and not looking up the anime on Wikipedia or any reliable source of info. You fools are probably too busy watching Jersey Shore or other crap you watch nowadays. Op, I don't see a reason for you to break up with your boyfriend. Do what #490 suggested, tell him to watch the Anime series online and he will know what Sailor moon is all about. Otakus don't need to break up with their partners all because they don't know what particular anime is. If I had a boyfriend and he didn't know what [anime series] was, I'd tell him what it is about and get him to watch it and get him addicted (if I can...). My point being is that Sailor Moon is not just for Little girls or children. Sailor moon is enjoyed by EVERYONE. By everyone, I mean ALL AGES. Maybe the users would would take the time to watch the anime and not leave condescending comments in this anecdote, they would understand. I am 21 years old and I still watch Sailor Moon to this day. I'm now on the 4th season of the series.
