26th: The Artistry of Haruhi Suzumiya
[Voice]
Okay Luceti, tell me! Maids, specifically dressing cute girls up at them: Fetish, or Art Form?
[...Yep.
That message goes up solo, and the rest of this trails maybe ten minutes later as an afterthought]
Also! If you guys saw that mega-birthday party the other day [here] or have involvement in Hydra Social [here] you've gotten a taste of what the Brigade can do for you. We also do consultations, so be sure to call on on, particularly if you can answer my earlier question correctly. [Particularly because, well... Valentines. She actually has two different plans for how to deal with it, she really needs to confer with Winry about which she'd prefer to see happen. But that reminds her...]
Hey Mikuru, do you want to sleep over tonight?
[EDIT: and then later that night she remembers something else, so she adds in]
Oh... right. Are there any people who know how to sail a ship who aren't otherwise occupied, willing to be hired out, and willing to head out into the water this time of year?
[If this wasn't clear already this post originated in an argument between Winry and Haruhi, so she might jack into various threads]

If you'd have me, I would love to, Suzumiya-san. [ ... She does pause, though. ] Is there a reason you'd like me to come stay with you?

Throughout history and various cultures, maids were a mainstay of large households and estates. A sign of affluence if you could afford maids or other domestic workers. So serving, keeping the house clean, keeping everything running would have been its own sort of art form. Their uniforms were designed in line with the fashion of the time, but were also simple and functional.
However, if we focus specifically on the aspects of dressing up cute girls in maid outfits, outfits that tend to be more revealing in design or otherwise accentuate parts of the body a standard maid outfit would not, and making the act of serving or cleaning more a matter of a sort of a powerplay or even a roleplay, then it becomes more of a fetish.

Thank you, I'll just stick to the secret 'MIKURU' folder... Or, in this place, the memories of them. Sigh.
...And Haruhi, stop stealing Asahina-san. You know I sleep twenty-three times better knowing she's next door.']

...And knowing Haruhi to some degree, he knows the answer. And it's one he... hesitantly agrees with. But he's rarely done so publicly.]
Depends how it goes. For some people, it is little more than a fetish, but for others, it can be an art form. The Netherworld even holds competitions for it sometimes.
[...Though it's more along the lines of a beauty pageant or something. And he will never admit to having watched one on TV before the incident with Elanore.]

... M-Might I... e-enquire as to, er, exactly what this "maid" is, and wh-why it is... limited to "cute girls"...?
[... He has never really heard of the term. And of course, his last conversation with Haruhi did not go well... but he's still curious.
Also maybe he can ask why the hell he was signed up without his consent to talk to somebody he's never even met...]

Haaa... Don't you think that lately the word "fetish" has been banalized way too much? So much that it has lost any positive meaning, now saying that someone has a "fetish" is the same as saying that they have a "perversion" over something! It takes away the charm of it and turns it into something crude and nasty. It has lost all it's meaning!
"Fetish" is something way above those dirty and low meanings people keep giving to it. To begin with a "fetish" can be just something which people believe has spiritual or magical powers of some kind, basically an amulet or a talisman. Even in the sexualized meaning it's still way more special than how people make it sound, in the sexualized meaning it refers to just something, sexual or not, object or body part, that arouses sexual desire. It's just a chemical and natural reaction, anything that pleases you and makes you get "in the mood" is basically a fetish! For that matter one of the biggest fetishes in the world would be none other than whoever your lover is, because no one else arouses you as much as they can!!
Following that, why can't a fetish be an art form? In fact how can a fetish not be an art form?! A real fetish is something that is special, it has a special meaning way above that of simple sexual intent. There are many types of maids, they don't even need to wear an uniform! A real maid fetish goes beyond the uniform and appearances! It's based on the idea of having a cute and loving girl who cares about you and all your needs, who can cook delicious food and leave the house spotless always with a darling smile on her face and a shy and humble attitude for her master or mistress! Always welcoming you home, always ready to help you to ease the pains from a long and hard day of work and who cares about you beyond what money could mean! That's what a maid is and she doesn't need a uniform or frills to be so! But there are people who would bring down that concept and dirty it, focusing only on the fact that a maid follows orders, but that's not a real fetish! That's just a perversion and a complete aggression towards human rights!! It's just the same that is happening with geishas! A geisha is nothing more than a professional entertainer! With great skills and abilities in singing, dancing, acting and playing instruments! They are polite and humble, always dedicated to make you feel relaxed and special! Since when did that turn into a depravity of sex? Sure, there were some geishas who could only aspire to entertain guest through sexual means, but they were a minority! A minority! Back in the Tokugawa period most geishas were actually forbidden to sell sex! The path of a geisha was one full of study and strict training in order to become the perfect entertainer, not the perfect prostitute! Many families who had too many girls or couldn't find a man to marry their children would send their daughters to become geishas, just like in occident they sent their daughters to become nuns! But no one goes around claiming that nuns are the "occidental prostitutes", so why do they say that geishas are the "japanese prostitutes"? Those are the people who will take a school uniform and turn it into something sexual, what the heck is that supposed to mean? A Russian pornographic film about guys having sex with a clearly Russian girl dressed in a sailor uniform just like a Japanese school uniform, what the heck is that?!! First of all if she's Russian dress her like a Russian, or give some reason for her to be dressed like that other than to turn it into a perversion! Things like that are what make it seem that having sex with a school girl or a geisha or a maid is something good! As if that is the fetish!
But it's wrong! Maids and geishas are art forms! A real one has to be carefully trained and educated to become perfect in every sense, to grow beyond what a mere uniform says! It's not just about the clothes, it's the attitude! Without the attitude the clothes mean nothing but a cute cosplay! A mere game of believe! The real fetish lies with the real maids and thus is an art form by and for itself!! Just dressing up a girl as a maid without paying attention to the details, from the clothing itself to the attitude and personality, doesn't make a fetish, that just makes a slut!! It's something as wrong as dressing up as a samurai without following even the basic rules of Bushidö! What's a samurai without that? Just a guy with a big sword, that's what! It's an insult and an offense to humanity's historical memory! If a fetish isn't an art form performed with care and meaning, then it's nothing but a perversion and a crime!!
[Now you know what you have unleashed.]
