All I’m saying is that a person hanging a picture of an anime chick in their cubicle is far enough outside the norm of office behavior that said person probably doesn’t have a good sense of social cues. There’s absolutely a difference between pictures of your family and pictures of your cartoon waifu.
Maybe. I don’t think those norms are enforced from above or anything. It’s one of those “read the room” type things. And that’s all I’m saying. Someone who would have a scantily clad anime poster in their cubicle at the engineering company I work at has failed to read the room. And thus I question their social understanding.
I also feel like it’s the sort of thing that makes a workplace less comfortable for some people. Like, I can imagine a woman working in the very male-heavy software and engineering departments who could find such posters off-putting. Just like it would be tacky to put up posters of a supermodel in a bikini on a muscle car.
Let’s maybe just not objectify people at work, you know?
