  • Thank you, I just don’t like anime

    That’s a bit like saying you don’t like Italian cinema. It may well be true but I tend to doubt you’ve seen enough of it to really say that. That’s also not what you got in trouble with your ex for saying. You called her interests stupid.

    They’re not stupid. I’m not a fan of Beavis and Butthead either but I wouldn’t tell someone who is that the show is stupid, no matter our romantic relationship or lack thereof. It’s rude and (in this case) cruel.

    and I’m very blunt

    You keep saying that like it’s an immutable fact about yourself. It certainly isn’t.

    If there’s something about her watching the show that’s legitimately bothering you (example: playing things you hate at talking volume or higher while you’re around), you should have had that conversation.

    If it’s just the fact that someone enjoys something you don’t … that’s a really unpleasant attitude to be around.





  • (Don’t personally have a foot fetish but to each their own … within reason.)

    I think it’s interesting that folks tend to be into feet but not, say, wrists or elbows in the same way. southsamurai -at- sh.itjust.work’s answer is pretty compelling. (Not @ ing because I don’t know the etiquette for that on Lemmy and I don’t want to be a menace.)

    If you don’t mind me asking a follow up question, does origin matter? Unless someone is ace, they’re into something. Some part of those interests will be “unusual” to others. Some part of each of us will always be a mystery even to ourselves. I think that’s kind of neat.
