Why are long socks, and other legwear, seen alot in Japanese culture on anyone from little girls to mothers, while they are seen as slut wear in the west?

This is always a very interesting cultural difference, as the most you will see long socks in the west is as part of a boy's school uniform.

Look at all those runs in her stockings. Doesn't she feel any shame?

It would probably be good if I had started the thread with an actual picture of socks and not stockings

It's strange isn't it? Socks aren't inherently slutty till they go above your knee, suddenly they're more slutty even though they're covering more? What kind of logic is this? Please explain otakus

It's because those sad nerds use socks to masturbate.

>while they are seen as slut wear in the west?
Same reason as pigtails/twintails are seen as for sluts: Girls in the west(America) only act or dress cute to get at your cock or dollars. The only girls who wear cute things normally are mentally damaged geeks, who are super slutty.

Because of this, thighhighs have become part of slutty cosplay done by porn actors and the like, reinforcing the idea.

I really wonder why the only twintails the west(America) does are handlebars and why bangs are so rare, but almost obligatory in Japan.

They aren't. Girls slut shame each other on any possible thing to get a social advantage.

I wonder, what sort of clothing are unpopular in Japan or seen as something sluts wear?

Using birth control makes you a slut over there.

Same goes for the west. If you see a girl taking birth control in high school you KNOW she's doing a lot of fucking.

>> No.12907665

>>12907629
But that's wrong, and it's not uncommon for high and even middle schoolers to use birth control to regulate their mensies.

I got my first set of legwear in the mail the other day, /jp/.
I got 3 legwarwmers and one kneehigh. They're really nice, I wore the kneehighs to bed last night and they helped me get to sleep

I want to buy these but they're out of stock; I contacted the store and asked if/when they will get them back in

Get thigh highs. Anything else is low tier.

Also, I hope you shave.

I'm going to get some on my next order but I don't know where I should shop from. For all the stuff I got this first time I got it off taobao because I was getting some other stuff off there anyway. Got any recommendations for stores?

And yeah I shaved for the first time the day I got them. I used that ice cube trick that I read about and it seems to be working fine

Better picture

How do you guys shave if you have unimaginably hairy legs? I tried it once and it failed, so I ended up getting them waxed and it hurt like HELL since the roots are so thick and deep. I haven't gone back since and my legs are back to the Sasquatch state they were originally in. Why is being soft so hard. I just want to be cute.

I used an electric shaver's buzz function, similar to one used for cutting hair in a barber shop, then just a normal saftey razor and shaving cream.
