^^Lolololol. So you think pedophiles don't tell people that they're into kids so that they don't go to jail for a long time rather than being looked down upon by others?
That's the exact opposite of what I was trying to say, actually.

pedos dont tell people what they are into cuz of the end result, not cuz they are ashamed. there is a much larger number that justify what they are into as opposed to those that are truly remorseful for what they are into. not everyone has the same "moral compass". they dont tell others because even though they think they are in the right, they realize that most people dont agree with them and they see how much more difficult life would be if they were known for that.
and its not the fear of what other people precieve people who might be pedophiles that stops them. its the fear of getting caught and punished that stops them.
Actually, I'm quite sure that a pedophile would be aware and probably ashamed of the kind of person that they are - there's a reason that pedophiles don't go around telling everyone that they're into kiddies.
That being said, the social acceptability of watching anime really depends on the kind of circles you move in. I have a bunch of white friends who would give me weird looks if I talked about how much anime I used to watch. Conversely, there's a bunch of friends that I have who wouldn't really care.
