For me no one really takes it on, because everyone believes RPG refers to those games like 'Age of Empires" and "Diablo". Some religious groups know about RPGs through their pastor and have fought against them, but since they are not popular here hardly anyone says anything about it.

Offtopic but, Konquererz: do your buds know about text based RPGing? Tell them to check here.

I really do not care much at all what people think I just want to have fun. No one would know I'm into this anyway unless they visited my bedroom. Its not like I go around saying I play in RPGs.

I think a lot of people echo Play by Post's thoughts here, though I generally am not averse to mentioning I do, but then again, I'm not very socially adept, so maybe it IS true in my case, my RPG fondness does mean I'm "weird". My grandmother used to worry about me playing D&D, and the next door neighbor mom also, but I think my mom, who was considered by everybody to be a very serious, level-headed and responsible woman, talked to them and explained the concepts and use of imagination, not summoning of demons, so I luckily have not had a whole lot of problems. Mostly it is the "Oh... I've heard of that, like D&D" but nowdays also get the more common "like WoW?"

I tend to not tell people I play DnD. This helps me avoid the whole weird thing. Though the other day I was driving home and saw a guy carrying a large fold up table across his back with a tote bag as well. I couldn't help but laugh and be like, "Ya, that guy plays DnD." Apparently it isn't as strange or out of the ordinary as it used to be. If your trying to get street cred though I would keep it to myself.

I know I do not advertise that I am a AD&D geek. Still word has gotten out and there are those who know I play. I have recently had some of the high school kids want to play 3.5 rules and I have 5 regular players now. I think they are wanting some others to join but the times have not be co productive for the other kids. I have set times for playing now and they are fine with that. I find it nice to know that I am helping to raise the next generation of AD&D geeks.

People will always try to stereotype what they don't understand. I won't try to explain role-playing to anyone I don't think is ready for it.
