The Great Shift 

The great shift started occurring in mid 2021, but has really ramped up in august, 2025. It is the rapid social acceptance and positive recognition of many previously shunned fetishes, most commonly but not limited to: feet, armpits, footjobs, bushes (female pubic hair), armpit hair, armpit jobs, ass eating, and so on. This shift was bound to happen eventually due to the sheer amount of people with these fetishes. It’s hard to contain something so prominent.

Yo Richard, have you heard about the great shift?
…
Yeah man, my girl has been giving me daily footjobs ever since she saw a meme about them on her TikTok

The Great Shift 

Usually referring to the positive change in public opinion on watching or enjoying anime as a whole. It’s debated on when exactly The Great Shift occurred, but it can most closely be linked to the 2020 lockdown, and the release of mega popular shows around that time, such as Jujutsu Kaisen and Demon Slayer.

Person 1: “Hey man, do you watch anime?”
Person 2: “I watched anime before The Great Shift, I used to be a loser, but it’s cool now.”
