The maid fetish is a very specific development of taste. Is it the frills? Many anime characters wear frills. So if it is not the outfit: what draws the average hentai-fapper to this specific fetish? I hypothesize that the aspect of servitude is what draws overgrown adult men to the anime maid archetype. Think about it.: grown men, who have only known their own mother nurturing them throughout life. When they think of an ideal woman, they imagine someone that is cute obviously, but someone like their mother. And to these men, their mothers only stood for as a nurturing servant. Someone to clean up after them and cook for them after having submissive sex with them. It is an Oedipus Complex at its most sophisticated. Face it, none of you want an actual girlfriend, only a servant to take care of your ass until the end of time. Someone to relieve you of your sexual stress, and someone to clean up after you. Two birds, one stone right? I admit it is very masculine to think of women as nothing but objects: but I don't think any of you deserve a woman like that.
The Maid Enigma
Someone put Freud back in his grave.
I just like the costume not the Master/servant play
I don't like maid costumes that much. Only in specific cases: when they're particularly well made, and when a character I like is wearing one.
you dont like the frills, you like what those frills stand for. you cant see it because youre not good at looking in your subconscious. thanks common core, we now have a generation of people who think superficially.
>because youre not good at looking in your subconscious.
nice projection
fantasize a scenario: does any maid in real life turn you on? or the act of the maid doing sexual things or while ironing your shirt turn you on?
well do you think the average person is good at introspection?
>actually thinking he can accurately psychoanalyze someone based on a one-sentence comment
No seriously, what the actual fuck? Actual psychologists are often hilariously wrong, and they at least tend to have at least one conversation with their patients.
>Face it, none of you want an actual girlfriend, only a servant to take care of your ass until the end of time
I know you think you had an epiphany, but most of us have known this fact for years dude.
I've never been into either maid outfits or servant roleplay, but I have to say maids are perfect for light molesting.
and thats ok, im still free to discuss my reaction
Shouldn't you psychofags be discussing eva?
Some people just like the outfit and others like the idea of having someone completely devoted to them, something that they have some sort of authority over. And no, that doesn't make those people evil sadistic assholes, domination is a thing in many fetishes and it's not the same as treating women like shit or abusing them.
>Face it, none of you want an actual girlfriend
Of course I don't and it's not that "w-women are j-just too impure and dirty for me" or "relationships are for bluepilled beta cucks" faggotry that some people here say to justify the fact that they are lonely as shit and too scared to admit it's their fault.
The people who aren't fucking dellusional don't want a girlfriend simply because they are too selfish and self-centered to actually enjoy dedicating their personal time to someone else even if they get something out of it.
My girlfriend/maid has not set foot out of the house in years and isn't allowed internet use. She is a good and faithful servant but I still cannot risk feminism turning her into a cunt like that happened to my sister or highschool best friend.
Pretty thorough analysis OP. Not really into maids myself but i can't really argue with most of the stuff you said. Though i disagree with the women as objects line. Now post your favorite maids.
Deadpan dominant maids are pretty good too.
are you a psych major or something? studying the psychological reasons for fetishes isn't fun
It'd be interesting to see what he thinks about futanari and traps.
I think men in general are attracted to motherly traits though, because on an instinctive level men simply want a good mother for their children.
>studying the psychological reasons for fetishes isn't fun
It is though. Understanding why a fetish arises doesn't change the fetish and doesn't make your feelings any less valid. It just explains them. If anything, understanding where your fetish came from helps you understand yourself.
I just like the hat.
>The people who aren't fucking dellusional don't want a girlfriend simply because they are too selfish and self-centered to actually enjoy dedicating their personal time to someone else even if they get something out of it.
This. I wish more of Sup Forums respected that significant others/gfs/whatever require time and devotion that I'd honestly rather spend on myself at this current point in my life.
I like maids more in the vein of Mai Favorite where you can just stop one in the hallway and go to town. There's none of the romantic affirmation with a servant and I think that this
>Face it, none of you want an actual girlfriend, only a servant to take care of your ass until the end of time. Someone to relieve you of your sexual stress, and someone to clean up after you. Two birds, one stone right?
is grossly incorrect
yes its implying that you dont care about romance, only instant gratification
Maids are cute partly because of the costume and its frills and also because of the degree of subservience that emboldens moe traits, given that moe girls are often ones who a sense of paternal yearning from the viewer, since they are seemingly in need of "safe hands" to protect them and guide them from the naivety of youth to adulthood.
That said, if I had a girlfriend, I'd want her to dress up like a maid so I could hug her, rather than fuck her because maids are, ultimately far cuter than they are sexy.
sex
Of course it's the servitude that makes maids so attractive. In most maid fantasies, they're not even in it for the money, they're only doing it to please their masters.
>they are too selfish and self-centered to actually enjoy dedicating their personal time to someone else even if they get something out of it.
You watch too much TV and movies.
Speaking as someone who considers themselves a socialist and pretty class-conscious, I still really enjoy maids a great deal. For me, it's more about aesthetics than the servitude role, but I also really enjoy works featuring maids which treat the subject with a hint of self-aware irony.
I particularly enjoy things like combat maids which juxtapose the impracticality of the frills with almost superhuman-like physical abilities. This, to me, is what anime is all about.
