I don't want to soak my shoes and have to keep wearing them, I buy good shoes and don't want to ruin them, and I sure as shit wouldn't do one from my work boots
Its funny when you're young, drunk and stupid. Turns out its actually pretty dangerous since shoes have a lot of bacteria that you shouldnt be drinking.
If you're that close to disrespecting them as a nation on the world order for having some unique tradition you don't share, you never really respected their culture and were waiting for a chance for it to be excusable
There are two very different types of respect; respect for a person as a human being, and respect for a person as an authority. But because we use the same word for these two different things, people often talk as if they were the same thing. So for example, when someone in authority says “If you don’t respect me, I won’t respect you.” What they’re actually saying (and justifying) is “If you don’t respect me as an authority, I won’t respect you as a human being.”

Less disgusting than allowing children to be slaughtered so that feeble excuses for men can own firearms to compensate for their inadequacies
Less disgusting than the genocide in Palestine
Less disgusting than Uighurs being used for slave labour because of their religion
There are many disgusting things in the world, this is light-hearted fun
null_dot@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 37 pts · 1y
I get that you're upset about these things, but they don't really have anything to do with this post.
Even the comment you're replying to is asserting a different kind of disgusting.
FistingEnthusiast@lemmynsfw.com · 7 pts · 1y
I'm Australian, and people often seize the shoey as a way of telling me that we're all uncivilised filth
It's a sore spot, especially when it's just a laugh
I've never actually done a shoey
null_dot@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 11 pts · 1y
I get that you dislike the stereotype, but it still doesn't have anything to do with the issues you listed.
Fizz@lemmy.nz · 4 pts · 1y
To be fair, the Aussies that are doing shoeys are uncivilised filth. Ive also done a ton of shoeys and they are disgusting, you can taste the shoe.
