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

[–] Slavoj_Zuckerberg@hexbear.net 24 points 4 months ago (1 children)

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

Thank you for putting into words why I don't like the phrase.

Shoes in the house is so fucking nasty actually. And outside clothes on the couch/bed

[–] Dolores@hexbear.net 38 points 4 months ago

oh no i'm not falling for that one again, if you want me to change into a cute maid outfit before sitting on the couch you're going to have to ask nicely soviet-huff

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.

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

I don't know anybodynwhobwears shoes in the house. I guess Mr. Rogers did, but he had specific shoes he only used in the house.

[–] StalinStan@hexbear.net 14 points 4 months ago

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

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.

[–] Erika3sis@hexbear.net 18 points 4 months ago (4 children)

To me the style always seemed less sexualized and more "the animators don't know how to a booby"

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.

[–] ButtBidet@hexbear.net 6 points 4 months ago (1 children)

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.

[–] Chronicon@hexbear.net 5 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (1 children)

I for some reason assumed this comment chain was about Nichijou. Then Yotsuba&. And now finally I see it's Azumanga daioh. I'm not very bright today.

maybe try one of the two former if you haven't seen them, the humor is seemingly kinda similar (yotsuba& is related to azumanga daioh iirc, spin off or smth) and iirc they're less sexualized than that one.

I get the argument that always putting younger girl characters in skirts is just like, reflecting reality, that's a common uniform, so that shows up even in very nonsexual shows sometimes, but a legit reason I don't watch a lot of anime anymore is because of the way so many go out of their way to draw the fucking underage characters bending over in tiny skirts and such. Its fucking foul. They could portray a realistic skirt length and not be a fucking pervert about it, even if it maybe seems a little short to a foreign audience, but they mostly just don't. Not that american TV is amazing about that sort of thing but its not as pervasive.

[–] Erika3sis@hexbear.net 5 points 4 months ago

Yotsuba& is only a manga. Its relation to Azumanga Daioh is just that it shares an author, Kiyohiko Azuma. The two mangas might take place in the same universe but that's just fan theories. There's a few uncomfortable scenes in Yotsuba& with Fuuka, involving Jumbo, from what I've read so far (~1.5 volumes)

Nichijou doesn't have anything uncomfortable that I can remember.

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

[–] ButtBidet@hexbear.net 19 points 4 months ago (2 children)

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).

[–] Erika3sis@hexbear.net 7 points 4 months ago (3 children)

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.

[–] ButtBidet@hexbear.net 12 points 4 months ago

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.

[–] Krem@hexbear.net 11 points 4 months ago (3 children)

What really gets me about Seppo houses is the doorknobs, though.

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?

[–] TechnoUnionTypeBeat@hexbear.net 8 points 4 months ago

They're actually against code in a lot of places these days specifically because they're hard to grip and turn for anyone with reduced grip strength, and a pain to open with occupied hands

If a house has them they can stay, but for renovations or new builds a lot of people are going with regular paddle style door handles

[–] huf@hexbear.net 6 points 4 months ago

their windows are also dogshit. i have no idea what went wrong. i blame anglo culture.

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

[–] lengau@midwest.social 25 points 4 months ago (2 children)

There's a woman in my city who's made wearing shoes indoors her whole identity (she even changed her Twitter username about it). Such a weird concept to me...

President of white American culture

[–] Hello_Kitty_enjoyer@hexbear.net 7 points 4 months ago (4 children)

Just confirm they are a Russian White (not to be confused with a White Russian, ick!) person.

My girlfriend is White but thanks to Russian culture she is house trained.

[–] PKMKII@hexbear.net 19 points 4 months ago

I stopped wearing shoes in the house after going over to a Japanese professor of mine’s house who made us go shoeless (Japanese as in ethnically Japanese, not that they taught Japanese). I was like, oh this makes sense, and I’ve been doing it ever since.

[–] TrashGoblin@hexbear.net 19 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I am from Appalachia, and never did we ever wear our shoes inside. I often go around the house in socks, though.

It would quickly be a catastrophe anywhere where it snows in winter.

[–] Chronicon@hexbear.net 6 points 4 months ago

yeah. I see people do it in the summer (and lightly judge them for it) but it just straight up doesn't work in winter

I'm surprised more public facilities (schools, offices, etc) don't have facilities to change into more indoor appropriate footwear though. Nobody wants to clean salty slush off their floors every day at home by tracking that in but we do it every day in public and just let the janitors deal?

i remember watching American Dad a couple years ago, and there was this was this episode about how francine's adoptive parents were Chinese. and one of the running jokes of the episode was the mom going around telling everyone to take their shoes off indoors? and this was supposed to be seen as weird?

[–] Philosophosphorous@hexbear.net 8 points 4 months ago

i'm white as fuck and even i only wear socks inside

[–] SuperZutsuki@hexbear.net 5 points 4 months ago (1 children)

What if I don't wear shoes in the house but also don't wear shoes outside?
