In my case, it's an issue of separate identities (not to be mistaken for a split personalities--which in many instances can be serious matter). In my personal life, I have no issues with discussing my otaku habits. But, in my professional life, it is obvious that the best policy is to remain quiet. That is not to say that I am afraid to say anything (I will if something happens to come up), but it probably would be of no benefit to go about flaunting my otaku nature. (
