>Every society has its own terminology for a young generation regarded as odd or unfathomable, and marketers are quick to give them catchy labels. It's no exception in Japan, which is now abuzz with talk of men with a soft spot who are becoming known as soshokukei, meaning "herbivorous" or "herbivores."

>>	Anonymous Tue May 19 12:50:08 2009 No.2616893 What does it mean to turn unisex? To be genderless? Or asexual?

>>	Anonymous Tue May 19 12:53:08 2009 No.2616909 >>2616893 I think it means the equivalent of being a metrosexual (all the fun of acting gay without being gay, or "I Can't Believe It's Not Gay!").

>>	Anonymous Tue May 19 13:01:08 2009 No.2616974 Interesting. I have no interest in being "herbivorous", but I do share the same disinterest in pig disgusting 3D.

>>	Anonymous Tue May 19 13:24:08 2009 No.2617118 >>2616909 Yeah, this is just metrosexual. I don't see why Japan thinks this is something unique that only happened to them.
