There is no such thing as a Stupid Question!

Don't be embarrassed of your curiosity; everyone has questions that they may feel uncomfortable asking certain people, so this place gives you a nice area not to be judged about asking it. Everyone here is willing to help.

Thanks for reading all of this, even if you didn't read all of this, and your eye started somewhere else, have a watermelon slice 🍉.

This is the kind of sentiment I have when a question is asked on “do Japanese people talk like anime characters in real life?” And the straight answer is no. Is it the same with “do Americans talk like in Netflix” or is that a load of garbage? It happens with some people thinking anime speak is how Japanese people interact but in the end they appear stupid as no one talks like that IRL. Now, is the manner of speaking from US Dramas or TV representative of a real life conversation?

We dance to live music and Dont just add it in post. We also go to the bathroom and choke on our own spit randomly.

FWIW, going to the bathroom wasn't allowed to be shown on tv/in films (US) until Leave It To Beaver did it. ☝🏼

And the first couple to be shown in bed together and the first pregnant woman was on... The Flintstones!

Was that not I Love Lucy?

I’m sure my dad screamed, “holy shit, he just like me for real” when that happened.

In fact, it was Mrs. Cleaver, IIRC. 🫢
