Japan, do not bend the knee to the yts. Slurp in their pasty faces! Threaten them with soy sauce and msg!

"Slurp in their pasty faces!" lmao

[rhapsodeeinblue]

What a ridiculous thing to be annoyed about. Like why even travel there then?

I'm Chinese American so yes I'm pro-slurp.

So if I have Misophonia, am I still being ridiculous?

I can't stand the sound of people plopping but I am okay with "slurping". In japan its part of their culture and shows respect to the chef who prepared the food.

Unless you're in Japan, a Japanese restuarant thats frequented by Japanese people, you really won't encounter "slurping"

So in conclusion like the tourists complaining about this: Stay away from asian Establishments or countries if you can't deal with their "customs"

I have sensory headphones that I wear whenever I know I'll be around people eating (ie. everyday at home). I'm autistic and misophonia is one of my things.

But also, a sound sensitivity disorder is totally different than people being like "ew you don't eat properly" because they expect people to change their cultural norms to make white tourists feel comfortable.

Me, too, with regards to this entire comment.

I respect your stance... I once went to a ramen shop with someone who has misophonia. He flipped out because of the slurping (and yes, he knows that people slurp when they eat ramen) and was belligerent the rest of the evening because everyone should have to eat quietly due to his misophonia.

tbh if people are really gonna be annoyed with something as harmless as this, then they should just go to Epcot Center or something.

I mean, slurping IS a disgusting sound... but they're noodles, that's how it's gonna sound when you eat them lol.

[joe_pwnz_pete]

the ONLY reason i don't slurp my ramen is because i wear glasses and the broth flecks onto them.

[rubie_dubidoux]

[joe_pwnz_pete]
