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.
Thank you for putting into words why I don't like the phrase.
This is often the case sadly
Shoes in the house is so fucking nasty actually. And outside clothes on the couch/bed
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 
putting sheets and towels on the furniture when my filthy fucking friends visit and refuse to don a clean suit

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.
And outside clothes on the couch/bed
you're alone on this one whiteboy

I agree about outside clothes on, or especially IN, the bed. WOW. That is just so nasty.
thinking back to the person who I know who (consensually) sprays guests' backs with alcohol before they're allowed to sit on any soft furnishings in their home

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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?
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
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
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
it's white resistance
like when they pretend that washing chicken under tap water is going to kill them. it's the principle of the thing
or maybe they immune systems really that bad idk

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.
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.
I am from Appalachia, and never did we ever wear our shoes inside. I often go around the house in socks, though.
Sorry America, this is just a you thing
I wear shoes in the house, but it's because I have terrible feet which torture me without my orthotics 
You are excused

If I take my shoes off my feet will get dirty from all the dirt I tracked in by wearing my shoes

not tryna be the saviour of the white race here but no one in britain wears shoes inside
It would quickly be a catastrophe anywhere where it snows in winter.
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?
i'm white as fuck and even i only wear socks inside
What if I don't wear shoes in the house but also don't wear shoes outside?
