JAPANESE SOCKS AND THE RATING SYSTEM TO THE RATIO OF...

I don't care about the title.  This post is about socks. Get over it.

Apparently, in Japan, socks (in relation to skirts) are very important.  What is so important about this key component in Japanese culture?  Well, I'm not so sure, but anime has taken a root with this genre or "fetish" as some may call it.

"Zettai Ryouiki" means "absolute territory".  The term first came about from the anime Neon Genesis Evangelion to designate the area of skin between the top of a girl's socks to the bottom of her skirt.  Here is an image to show what I mean.

Ignoring the fact that the foot kn that image is horrifically small...There is a rating system to zettai ryouiki.  It goes from A to G, depending on the length of sock in relation to the skirt (or shorts, or panties for that matter).

I'm sure you can tell that the A Rank is "drool until you're drowning in your own spit" worthy.


The ideal ratio for zettai ryouiki is 4 : 1 : 2.5.  These numbers correspond to (length of the mini skirt : zettai ryouiki : length of socks.


As Tsubaki states on his blog, "Memorizing this formula is as important as knowing that π = 3.14159 26535 89793 23846 26433 83279 50288 41971 69399 37510 or 22/7. Failing to reproduce the 4:1:2.5 code be result in being labeled as a Narutard, since ninjas don’t subscribe to the Zettai Ryouiki rule."


I totally agree with this. If you don't know that thigh high socks are what makes a tsundere 100X more adorable, then you are a Narutard. If you are reading this now, and you were a Narutard, then congratulations, you just became 100000000000% more weeaboo. YAY!

What the Hell is a Weeaboo?

Disclaimer: All in pure fun.

I'm sure majority, and by majority I mean 1 or 2, of you want to hear the drabble of a 19 year old who claims to know what the term "weeaboo" means.  Guess what? You do, because it will be HILARIOUS.   Here's a brightly colored image to catch your attention! :D

That's right. We here today to talk about the ultimate geek: THE WEEABOO.

So, what exactly is a weeaboo, really?  What makes them so special that I have devoted a blog to them? (As if the image above isn't enough). 

To put it in simple terms, they're huge GEEKS, but in a special way.  Weeaboos specifically target the Japanese culture.  Here is a definition from www.urbandictionary.com to clear things up.

Someone who is obsessed with Japan/Japanese Culture/Anime, etc. and attempts to act as if they were Japanese, even though they're far from it. They use Japanese words but usually end up pronouncing them wrong and sounding like total a**holes. You can find alot of these f*ggots clogging up the forums of Gaia Online, hanging out in the international aisle of the supermarket, or crowding the manga section of your local bookstore. Synonym of wapanese.

So, it's a person obsessed with the Japanese culture, particulary the subculture of anime, manga, cosplay, etc.  What does a weeaboo DO though?  Here are some images to show you (Besides the hideous image at the top).

1. Watch anime

 

2. Read Manga

3. Study Japanese (By study I mean watch anime)

 

4. Go to anime conventions... and Cosplay (Costume + Play)

5. Play Japanese video games on Japanese gaming systems, with androgynous characters

6. "Indulge" in the Japanese Culture

Now that you know what a weeaboo is and does...I want you to play BINGO with your friends to find out if YOU are a WEEABOO, using this card.
