The picture also looks a lot like Futaba from Persona 5, who is a hikikomori.
Comment on Anon's sister is a NEET shut-in
webghost0101@sopuli.xyz 1 month agoNEET is is an economic label that means Not in Employment Education or Training. Its the group often looked down on as leeches in society but the term doesn’t consider the reasons or health of the person.
The sister in the post appears much more like the Japanese shutins or hikikomori who isolate themselves from all social contact. Technically being a hikikomori is a choice but mental health and big pressure culture probably dont help.

TIL NEET means something else. For I thought it was only an enterance test in India to get into medical education. It is super competitive and toppers are usually shut-ins, studying for 14-16 hours a day.
The exams are held in may so for kids to go in hibernation since January is common place.

im still trying to figure out why people hate the fact that people leech off of shit.
Like unless we’re going turbo functionalist society where we define suicide as a normal aspect of everyday life, it seems rather. Dystopian to be claiming that everybody must be a part of society.
economists are fucking weird dude.

I most cases the culture and mental health are the reason a lot of them will choose that lifestyle, still not 100% by their own free will.

Thats what i meant with “technically” a choice
The ironic part in this is that ecologically/footprint speaking the impact might be pretty positive compared to going out.

Yea, here where I live there is a culture of most jobs being seasonal work, so a good amount of people end up being NEET’s for about half a yera or less because of the lack of regular jobs and surpluss of seasonal work that’s most times only 3-6 month’s long.
You could say we are forced to be neet’s whenever touristseason isn’t ongoing.

Sounds alot like it was in medieval lord days. Peasants sow and harvested the lands but most of the year didn’t have much to do.
Sounds alot better then the cant skip a paycheck or miss rent hustle culture.

I know it’s just a typo, but typing surplus like that makes me think of the type of Freudian slip a reptilian disguised as a human would have. 🤣
