How does your family react to your otaku passion?

My mother in her constant adoring behavior usually misunderstands their looks and meanings while talking in the middle of most of it. Sometimes she brings up negative things about Japan, such as WWII references, including her father and his two brothers being WWII veterans. She even mentions a friend in Asia having some rough times there. Her mother's reaction was disliking pointy noses and mocked the Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters 4Kids dub "Da da da da!"
For my big sister, despite inspiring me in gaining interest in Japanese media and food in the 90s, sometimes years later called my interests "only for kids and immature people" while she didn't want me to play too much. She even called my playthrough of Star Fox 64 too much while telling me, "Quit playing those games!", but then inverted back in recent years positively saying, "That's you!"
Father and stepmother seem ignorant and uninterested in my passion in Japanese media. I was even involved with some notable people, but my father and stepmother ruined some of them by saying I might get sued for sharing interviews with someone else unless if I ask their permission.
For others, I often hate when elderly are the only ones approving my otaku passion while similarly-aged people block me by being gatekeepers. T_T
