    I’m actually going to be ignorant here but I don’t really know what’s up with the bunny ears and maid dresses. I presumed it was a fetish but I never really looked into it.

      You ever wonder if bunnies and cats have fetishes for human ears but dont have the technology or communication skills to fulfil them?

      The origin of the maid dresses is actually kinda neat iirc! Japan is obsessed by medieval western nobility so they ended up opening nobility-themed cafés with maids and butlers (but mostly maids) which became insanely popular. So much so that many artistic medias including animes started integrating maids and butlers (but mostly maids) inside their stories.

      Basically, it’s kinda like us with ninjas and samurais afaik.

      For the bunny ears? Maybe a fetish thing idk. Probably related to the japanese culture of adoring anything cute. Bunny = small animal => cute => popular. Dunno why. Maybe I’m wrong tho.
