I think it’s something to do with Americans being workaholics who aren’t permitted to sit the fuck down. When you toil for 12 hours a day including food, transit and self-care, you don’t get to STAY in your house long enough to take the shoes off.

Feet in America have been sexualized, and it seems obscene, immodest or overly familiar to remove your shoes in front of guests or hosts. They are also seen as inversely, gross and smelly and inappropriate to pull out in front of everyone

Yes, it’s actually considered more rude to take your shoes off since feet are seen as obscene, smelly, gross, etc.

It’s the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances’ admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
