I follow this person on Twitter, and I’m sure she means this literally, and I’m OK with it.

‘the ick’ seems to just mean ‘neurodivergent person did something neurodivergent’ when i see it used colloquially tbh

It’s wild how often people get away with essentially saying “you disgust me and I find you very sexually unappealing” completely unprompted.

I’m actually glad my parents never really cared about this stuff although I do personally only rarely wear shoes indoors. Like if I’m doing work and in/out. And outdoor clothes I can only assume means like you were doing hard, sweat-causing labor or otherwise dirty labor. Not like driving to the store and coming home to change into pajamas before you sit on the couch (lol). Like yeah if I go for a jog of course I’m going to get a shower before I sit on my furniture or bed. But otherwise…

But as a child of Yakub I am accustomed to living in my own filth

The metric I use for the couch/cushions is like this:

If I took off the clothes on my body right now, would I put them into the hamper or are they still clean enough to wear again? If they’d go in the hamper, I’m not sitting on the couch with them.

The metric I use for the bed is much more strict:

Unless they are clothes I just took out of the drawers/closet, they don’t go in/on the bed.

You’re NOT alone and that’s not a white people thing, friend. Absolutely NO outside pants in my bed. Shirts are okay as long as they’re not grody, but pants are right out.

I agree about outside clothes on, or especially IN, the bed. WOW. That is just so nasty.

That was really really good.

As a middle aged man, I almost wish the girls were a little less sexually drawn, as I think I’d enjoy the anime for just the comedy.

To me the style always seemed less sexualized and more “the animators don’t know how to a booby”

if you look up the manga/DVD covers there’s definitely some sexualization going on. but I haven’t seen the show so idk if that extends too much to the actual content.

I’m confused. The one in red is the teacher, and the one in blue, the student, has only her head and forearms exposed and isn’t particularly chesty or curvy.

I’ve seen a few clips of this show in YouTube. It looks hilarious. But some of the scenes portray girls in very short skirts or with quite protruding chests. It’s definitely not as bad as a lot of animes. It’s just that I’m in my mid 40s, and I teach older girls, I just really can’t find any of it pleasant.

I want to stress that I’m not bothered by anyone who enjoys the show. It’s just me.

Azumanga is NOT the show that comes to mind when I think of “sexualized characters” hahaha

This scene isn’t really a good example of that, Yukari-sensei is the teacher here. However some parts of the show are definitely weird that way, nowhere to the point of other shows fortunately.

He wasn’t showing the carpet gripper for free. You had to hit his premium for that one.

When they wear shoes indoors, do amerikkkans put on their socks and shoes before they step out of bed?

In my childhood, my white family took our shoes off and put them in the closet. We walked around in socks all day.

Having enough Asian and neat flat mates got me in the habit of going barefoot or having special in-house slippers (for cold days).

Not that I live in the S’Shah anyways, but whenever I’ve been there, I’ve always taken off my shoes just by the door, as does anyone else, and this goes for Norway as well. Putting them in a closet rather than under the coats and jackets and stuff sounds strange to me.

What really gets me about Seppo houses is the doorknobs, though. And also the beds. And the asbestos.

Ya, as an adult, I just kick them off next to the door, as does my partner. Friends who visit just do this without having to be asked, so it seems normal.

yeah what’s the deal with the little globe door handles that give you no leverage and you have to awkwardly twist your wrist to open the door? and what’s the deal with the useles little clicky lock thing in the middle? what smart brain designed this bullshit and what lobbyist paid off their whole nation to get them installed everywhere?

I’m not well traveled but in the US, at least the part I’m from, they usually are under the coats… in the coat closet, of which there is usually one by the front door in single family houses
