@St_Rev@mr_archenemy@ClarkHat e.g., passive-aggressive "nice" down South; "I'll pray for you" as derogatory in some churches. -
@popelizbet@mr_archenemy@ClarkHat Seems like there's a lot more disgust expressed than I've seen in Chinese or Japanese productions though -
@popelizbet@mr_archenemy@ClarkHat AND more overt physical abuse. But I'm going off limited data here. -

@ClarkHat@popelizbet@mr_archenemy The thing that gives me pause is that there's clearly a lot of structure embedded in honorifics. -
@ClarkHat@popelizbet@mr_archenemy It's repeatedly referenced but it's essentially opaque to an outsider. So I assume lots of context there
