Question from the readers:
I have a question about Yajuu Senpai. I often see the expression “nantoka-chuu” in the comments section, but what does this actually refer to? I can’t read kanji, so I would appreciate it if you could explain it to me. I would also be happy to learn its meaning!
The Mystery of “Inmu-chuu”
Recently, while talking
with friends, the term “Inmu-chuu” came up. At first, I was like, “What is that?” But after doing some research, it seems to have originated from an adult video called “Manatsu no Yoru no Inmu.” It appears that the keywords and scenes from that video are frequently used online, and that’s how people referred to as “Inmu-chuu” came to be.
The Underbelly of the Internet and Shared Laughter
However, the most amusing part was the phrase, “If I point this out, I’ll be exposed as an Inmu-chuu…” When used in a public setting, everyone gets a little anxious and ends up unable to point it out, which is quite humorous. If I were in that situation, I would definitely be too embarrassed to say anything. It’s a topic I could never bring up with real-life friends, and it’s interesting how this common laughter emerges uniquely online. Moreover, just imagining it being displayed on a public screen is hilarious. Everyone might pretend not to notice, but deep down, they could be thinking, “What if this gets exposed…?” It feels like sharing a little secret, and you can sense a sense of camaraderie developing.
My Experience and Empathy
Personally, when I’m chatting with friends and a secret topic comes up, it makes me a bit nervous. For instance, back in the day, when I was having a blast with friends on a late-night video app, I accidentally said, “Everyone knows about this, right?” Everyone laughed it off. In that moment, there was an indescribable sense of unity. So, have any of you had similar experiences? If you’ve ever gotten excited about the underbelly of the internet or secret topics, I’d love to hear about it! Please share in the comments!
