見られたくないモノ

haha, definitly my passes, pins..etc... but I don't have much to hide in the first place.

I believe some males don't want to share some negative feelings to their wives and have a secret female confidents via instant messaging or e-mail or have pictures of other women (mistresses? female high-schoolers or even more underage girls/boys?? eroge characters???), or have certain fetishes that they would never disclose to anyone (pride again).

As for women, maybe they hide stuff like frozen meals and other prepared food that would show their lack of skill in the kitchen.

Those are just hypotheses. But why would they hide those more fiercely than their PIN numbers? I wonder.

Nothing is more important than your savings. By a few strokes from someone that spied on you, you can have the savings of a lifetime disappear in a flash (see previous post on scam). So yeah, I am much more cautious about it.

My Password and stuff, but wow I did not expect Computer...

D_Blade, I think this is because if you lose the money from your account, people (friends, family, girl friend) wont look at you weird like you did something wrong. However.. if its say.. bukkake and candy girl photos, you might get odd looks from some people. So, its more of an embarassment thing. As home many people would rather run around for two minutes naked, or pay a $100 fine. The fine would be picked the most I surmise.

Hm, this poll is gonna be a little one sided...

Of course your money and pin details are the most secretive thing! No one wants their cash stolen!

Mine would be computer after that, but i dont have anything to hide - well - except from certain people... ^.^;

Actually, Dragun - you make a good point...

Some people would rather lose money than let a super-embarrasing secret be known...

Good point DRAGUN, however this was not a real question, more something that spooks me out. Personal pride over money... So they prefer to end broke (and have a chance to die in the streets) than to have some secret revealed and be shunned.

I wonder if they answered "Computer" first because the idea of immediate threat to their bank account is generally underestimated.

I don't know... "Modern" societies should be more tolerant so this kind of things would never occur (hiding yourself rather than expressing your tastes -if of course the latter are compatible to standard morals-).

here are my top three (3) things that i want to be kept a secret (in no particular order)

* PIN codes to my finances

* Computer - i've got a lot of "confidential" files on my PC (both business and personal if you know what i mean)

* Mobile phone - i've got friends who wants their contact numbers confidential and only to be known to a chosen few and i don't want to break their trust. i also have some "personal" pictures if you know what i mean ^__^

I have a lot of "interesting files" on my computer, both ero and non-ero lol, that can't be seen by people ^^.

the most important thing for me is my PC of course, lots of moe stuff there ^^ and i'm pretty embarrass with my computer spec, at least i can do my campus assignment well enough with that

this makes me wonder.... how strong my PC security is lol...

AndyH, thank you. I, sadly enough, feel the same way. Social embarassment is just ingrained into my brain as absolutely horrible. Its hard to get rid of.

D_Blade, I think this mostly has to do with the religion thing in the West. We tend to think of sex, and being naked as "evil". It has taken us a very long time to be as open minded as we are about nudity and sexuality, but I admit that even I quiet down when saying words like sex. I think its just a social stigma that has been around for so long its almost steeped in tradition. One of the reasons I respect the Japanese culture is that they dont seem to have this problem. Maybe we all just need to grow up and stop being children?

Stuff like PINs and passwords I guess, other than that I haven't much to hide. My computer's riddled with H stuff, but I'm pretty sure my old people know that already.

Like most people said, stuff like passwords and PINs are most important... but of course, if some people were the find all the H stuff I've here, that would be quite a problem as well.

Monetary passwords and stuff are obviously something no one wants others to see... so I voted my computer, since one would probably be able to get into my accounts if they got into my computer.
Only problem is: They would have to cut my finger off for the fingerprint reader, and then crack my 13 digit password which has a mix of numbers, characters and special chars.

But I'm not that much worried about bank accounts and stuff... I mean, I am worried but not paranoid about that.

Thing is: I HATE people messing with my laptop. Not because of pr0n, H stuff and other things that might scare the big Jesus out of some people (I admitely have lots of those here).
For me it's all about configuration. Dunno, but I just like to be shure that when I turn my computer on, I'll find it in the same conditions I left it the other day.
After I adopted that idea, nevermore I had problems with spyware, virus, etc etc.

OT BUT IS THAT A MIRAI-CHAN GALGE PIC ARGH! STOP TEASING US!

I think computer's right at the top because it's slowly but surely taking over the roles of the ones before, e.g. diary, filofox, photo album, accounting files, mail, etc...

i say pc since i dun have a bank account haha

I don't have much to hide, but I guess it would be my browser's History, BTW I love this Mirai-chan eroge like screenshots :D

As for me, it's ICQ history for shure! And some mail with pics ^_^' and passwords, and sms history and... OMG, there's so many stuff to hide!!! 0_0

...
I'd say computer because it holds my personal banking data and such...yea, that sounds believable, I'll go with that excuse.

Evidence of why computer > life:

i voted my computer... it hold too much precious information! plus I have a lame taste in music therefore is embarrassing when people look through my playlist etcetc>.< "my precious~~~"

PC for me also... not because of my 18+ material or anything, more I hate when people start messing with the configurations and such. I have a bad history with friends that use my computer. Quite a few things stop working properly after they touch my computer.

Go ahead and dig through my computer. I've got porn on it. Heck, I've probably got illegal porn on it that I've long since forgotten about. When you spend as much time as I do on the internet you tend to amass a great deal of content that would shock and appall a normal person, but you also grow to not really care what other people think of it.

Let's just say I fit right in on the chans. ;)

Yup. PC for me too, but mainly because I don't want ppl moving files around or changing my config.
I do keep some bank details on there too so that's a big nono. Obviously, I have pr0n too but I couldn't care less if someone saw that. It's all under a mountain of unorganised crap anyway.

since we are on the topic on privacy, it reminds me of a case we had in singapore last year.

a 17 years old girl lost her mobile phone which contains a 10 mins clip of her having sex with her boyfriend.

very soon the video go uploaded onto the internet and spread like wildfire.

compared to computers, i find that mobile phones are more easily misplaced and thus lots of personal stuffs are leaked out and might be misused.

never ever lose your phones guys.

My gundams, burn my pc/clothes etc I wouldnt care. The time & effort put into them made them worth more than gold to me ;)

Ah, wrong post.. ^^;

for me the most important is the Monetary passwords/pin etc, of cos i dont like people see my pc also, although not much thing inside.

I can always change passwords and the such but hard to take back people seeing the naughty bits on the computer.

No really all the naked girly pictures are for photography and art research I swear.

Computer for sure, can't let others see all my doujinshi...People would avoid me for weeks...Still trying to figure out how to password protect folders...

My mom would SCREAM AT ME!!!

It would HAve to be the P.C factor!!!
HITOTSU:for all of the above reasons!!!
FUTATSU:...it's just outright embarrasing knowing that ur Immediate kyudai KNOWS of your Questionable items stored under hidden and Password-guareded folders.

my password(s). heheh! you'd know a whole lot of things about me just from accessing my different accounts. XD

No one should ever see my passwords and PINs for my bank accounts because all my money are in there ^^

Of course, all the bank stuff are important, specially if you buy stuffs in internet, but my personal computer is VEEEERY private... You know I mean:)

DRAGUN, the thing is that Japan may be too open towards sex, on the contrary.

Fetishes, Ero games, doujinshi and so on... they are quite explicit, convey strong messages but are circulating quite freely.

In the US, they would simply be seen as a sign of the devil, shown to everyone and burned at the stake for example (...just kidding on that part).

More seriously, religious groups in certain country are scary sometimes, given the power of censorship they have, even if that can impede on freedom of choice.

I guess it's about two extremes, one too open, the other too conservative.

both my computer and my $$ are too precious to be viewed by others lol..

u can look at my mobile or computer n just copy anything that u want from there but dont touch my bank acc book!
lol

I'd say that Passwords and Pins are a given so, after that.. It'd probably be my PC. I don't have much to hide but, I take it that my family wouldn't understand Otaku-culture... and being a girl doesn't make that any easier... ^^;

my computer.... i have sensitive information from my work(s) and other "hidden files"
