I have always felt uncomfortable seeing them in Tokyo especially because there's always one or two girls in front of the bar asking costumers to enter. I didn't care that much about the costume but they looked so young. I don't think they were always maid cafes, sometimes the girls had school uniforms and it was really disturbing.

I've been to two different maid cafés in Japan

But in the grand scheme of Korean entertainment??? drop in the pond.

that LAST part though

but then another maid started doing a whole fan chant with lightsticks for her colleague which made us laugh because she was going so hard.

That sounds super cute.

is it feminist, no. however if executed well I can't deny I'd probably enjoy going to a place like this lol

Not that I think maid cafes don't have their own issues but...the way this is written makes it sound like this is a message from a different dimension of Seoul where brothels don't exist. Of all the woman hating and objectification on bold display this is a problem? Really? Like having to wear uncomfortable embarrassing clothing and pretending we're interested in men isn't an actively enforced part of 99% of women's jobs to begin with.
