i dont know what to tell you, maybe try harder to interpret different cultures' behavior by their own standards and stop imposing your own on them?

id be super creeped out if someone rubbed my back (ew, we don't do that, that's creepy and intimate in a non-platonic way during a vulnerable moment. imagine your dad giving you a back massage. gross) but i get that western people do that or whatever and it's not creepy or meant to be intimate when they do

[nanslice]

Huh. I've never really thought about it before, but back rubs feel more intimate to me; I will rub my partner and, like, my mom's back, but everyone else gets pats.

[(Anonymous)]

I would assume it's a cultural difference, but I relate. It just seems so...diffident, like "there there, I don't really care," weak patting.

[(Anonymous)]

Aside from the cultural differences mentioned upthread, there are also people who don't touch other people that much and those who don't really like to be touched. And sometimes it really depends on the relationship between the two, like, there are some people I'd be fine with rubbing my back (though I'd find it a little surprising from someone who wouldn't normally do that) and there are some I'd find it weird and uncomfortable from. I would see a back pat as someone who wants to let me know they are there, but either doesn't want to encroach or doesn't feel comfortable doing more.

[(Anonymous)]

Eh, to me a rub feels more invasive and intimate than a pat, but if it were up to me, I'd prefer a cup of tea as comfort, not physical touch.

[(Anonymous)]

Oh dear, oh dear. *pats OP's back*

[(Anonymous)]

Honest question: when was the last time anyone saw a purely platonic back rub in western media? Usually, if it’s not explicitly either foreplay or sexual harassment, it’s being used to imply that something’s going on, often in a Folger’s Incest kind of way.

[(Anonymous)]

I feel a similar way about headpats in anime

Eustace Scrubb's character arc, my beloved!

[(Anonymous)]

They don't even treat Eustace that badly, he's just annoying and whiny and off-putting and the more he's like that the less the others try to be nice. But yeah, I think it is a tricky balance to have a child antagonist that you don't want to stay an antagonist.

Because he's a male villain in a female protagonist Disney movie.

Yuuup. Any weird or bad vibes, I'm out. I just distance myself and sure, I'll leave comments on their fanworks, but I'm not going to be their friend.

I mean I would NOT be surprised if the reylo fandom wasn't friendly to PoC fans-- a lot of people get into it because they just enjoy the dark romance dynamic and the enemies to lovers stuff, and like, I'm sure there are a LOT of reylo fics that just focus on that, and I would imagine there are some people who ship both reylo and finnpoe, but... there are DEFINITELY fans who write Finn as the bad guy in their reylo fics in ways that are racialized.

In some fan circles, white fans will call that shit out and say 'we don't need to make Finn OOC like this or make him the bad guy in order to sell our ship', and they will make their corner of the reylo fandom safe for PoC fans. But if you wind up in a circle where people recommend and defend those fics, that can turn you off of the fandom as a whole and you're not necessarily going to want to extend new fics the benefit of the doubt or get to know another group of fans if they might just be racist all over again.

Weather

[philstar22]

How's the weather where you are?

Here in Dallas it has been in the teens all day with the wind chill making it feel even colder. No rain, yes, though, so no ice. It is supposed to rain tonight, though. If it does, my office will be closed because of the ice.
