Does anyone remember people arguing that there was no such thing as an Asian fetish?

"Grandmother"?

Wow, I was expecting that to be some sort of unintentionally funny mistranslation or something. But no, they got it pretty much dead on.

Come on, B., she was playing to a Japanese audience. It means that Japanese men have a fetish for Japanese women.

Japanese women who know a few naughty phrases in English? I'm sure Japanese men are all over that.

Really? Maybe I wasn't reading the site back then. That's just retarded.

Here's the thread in question. Following the patterns of many discussions on Unfogged, first we talk about why guys with Asian fetishes are squicky, then someone insists that he's not squicky, he just has a preference for Asian features, then we have a discussion about the meaning of 'fetish.'

The extra chopsticks in her hair were sort of campy. I wonder if her geisha act was a parody. What's the regulation number of chopsticks?

"I do it well with my mouth."

Cala, I think your description of exactly what happened in that thread might read a little bit too much into it.

I find the third phrase very odd. It's not used by English speakers at all (maybe forty years ago it was, I don't know), and she doesn't sound like an English speaker when she says it. In the first two segments she says the phrase with a very good English accent.

The audience for this is clearly Japanese people, not necessarily even Japanese people with any knowledge of English.

11: I left out a lot of parts. There's the part it's suggested that I dislike the Asian fetish because I'm afraid that I can't handle the competition.

I agree with 10. It looked somewhat satirical, or at least jokey. Like someone dressed up in a fake nun costume or a fake schoolgirl outfit. This was just fake geisha.

It's a skit, which is part of a satirical Japanese show called "Vermillion Pleasure Night."

Sorry, I was failing to joke on past "reading too much into it" discussions. I actually had no objections to your recap.

Cunt lapping sounds painful. But maybe if it's done "first rate", it's not so bad.

So I don't think I actually want to do this because it's too topical, but how can you incorporate "I'm having a perverted IM conversation" in your Halloween costume?

19: Carry a blackberry or facsimile, and spend a lot of time ostentatiously typing and breathing heavily. Ask people around you if they know 'what the kids are calling' various sex acts at intervals.

(Actual question an older friend who had re-entered the dating scene after his wife died asked Buck once: "So, how do people ask for anal sex these days?" Buck told him "I'd like some anal sex, please." Not sure how that worked out.)

So that costume would, in total, be a suit (have it!), a wig (can get it), a blackberry, a bottle of liquor (or possibly an obviously fake bottle of liquor to make the, "oh yeah, it must've been alcoholism point"), and a Foley in '06 button? If I don't come up with anything else, that may have to be done.

w/d, you're still in law school, right? So go for the costume consisting solely of a nametag that reads "Reasonable Prudent Person" while there's still a chance that a few people will get it and maybe even find it vaguely amusing. Much more comfortable than wearing a suit and a wig.

19: Don't be someone IM'ing, be the IM's. Get some face paint and have a friend transcribe the actual text of one of the more salacious messages onto your face and body.

Actually, you should transcribe The Poor Man's version.
