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

I wear shoes in the house, but it’s because I have terrible feet which torture me without my orthotics

Same. I’d be completely hobbled without my house slippers.

House slippers are completely fine. Wearing street shoes inside, that’s the weird thing.

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).

I was for sure “barefoot in home all day” camp growing up, but I’m in “socks” camp now that we have a bunch of cats hahaha

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.

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?

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.

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

when I was little I always imagined white pipo wearing their shoes in bed because tv shows would depict it

I still do tbh, it’s hard to scrub the image

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.

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.

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.
