MMO = massive multiplayer online RPG, like WOW, EQ, Guild wars, etc...

If you want to be respected, then don't be ashamed of what you do. Most of the coolest people I know are the ones who go out at night, or play sports, or do whatever the hell they want to, and they don't even care if people know they like anime. Act like its no big deal, then people won't make a big deal out of it.
