Did you listen to me at first at all? I said it was a fetish. I said that a partner in a relationship is a walking fetish already. That's a fact that can't be denied. But the true and pure form of the maid costume on girls whose job isn't to be a maid is both a fetish and art. And again, fetish has more meanings than the one you're insisting on giving to it, in fact I would say that the general meaning most people give to the world is nothing but a degradation of the word itself.

Taking relationship status out of the equation? A poll? First of all, Haruhi said nothing about this being a poll and even if she did I have the right to pick a third option to claim both previous options. And secondly, an answer, to a poll of any kind, given on the base of ignoring things is a worthless answer. So is an answer that's given out because of pressure applied by someone clearly biased!

Haruhi made a simple question, without context, without poll. The one who has made this into a poll and given it a context to fit her wishes and get the desired answer has been you. If you're not going to accept an answer that's opposite to your own personal opinion, why bother with claims of having a poll?

That's right and nothing you say will change that answer because it's my opinion. So you can count is as null or whatever for your imaginary vote. Hope you can pressure other people to agree with you since you want it so much.

[Even without Haruhi telling him to not let himself be convinced he wouldn't change his mind just because someone who is biased already. He prefers to be biased himself for that matter.]

If they don't know what to say they shouldn't even bother with saying anything to begin with. And you're giving her too little credit, she has no need to pressure anyone if she has a good speech. Besides it seems you both don't even agree on what basis or context you're making this poll, Haruhi has the widest context of it while you just narrow it down to one thing, turning a blind eye to everything else.

Whatever, I have no interest in getting between your lovers quarrels. Though I think you should know Haruhi enough by now to not be so bothered by things like her liking maid costumes on cute girls. Specially if the cute girl is you.

[Or not. It's a shot in the dark but he doesn't care. It's either that or that Haruhi was drooling or doing something that Winry could consider as cheating with a girl dressed as a maid. Nothing else gives sense to this whole conversation anyway.]

She wanted you to act the role as well? Maybe she thought it would be easier for you if it was the whole package, if it was just dressing up it would be meaningless...

[Pause. And he's putting a filter from Haruhi here.]

Then again, it's Haruhi. So chances are she just wanted to live out a personal fantasy of hers and share it with you.

Who knows... I think that since it's Haruhi about whom we're talking about and you two are together it's normal that she would want to share something so personal with you. Maaaybe the way she did it wasn't the best but... Again, since it's Haruhi, I guess it makes sense. You know how she's regarding having her ideas rejected and such, it's not strange for her to try to make sure that something she does, says or asks for can't be rejected. Even if that makes it forceful.

[That makes him crack a laugh.]

I can't help to agree with you on that. I don't think there's much of that in your world anyway, so it can even count as a bit of a cultural barrier.

Do you even know if she will ask it again? She may be satisfied already.

Then again, maybe you should reconsider it. There are worse things than that.

Yeah. And things that definitively fall in the really perverted category, even if they can still be an art form, they are quite over the top.

[Even for him. He may joke about them and making do something related to them, but in general that's all. Nothing serious, and maybe not even lighthearted depending on the circumstances.]

[There's a long pause here.]

Probably not the worst ones. No, probably not... I hope not.

[That would be... Too much.]

Well... It's Haruhi so... I suppose shibari would be at the edge. It's still an art form but it's far worse than the maid thing, even I can tell that.

I mean... I can't really think of her even considering the hardest types of roleplays like the mental health patient scenario or the absolute slave one. Those are just plain disgusting and insulting even for me. And have no type of excuse other than being pure perversions.

It means literally "to tie" or "to bind", it's used to describe the artful use of twine to tie things by making complex knots and intricate designs... Aaaand it can be used on people as part of BDSM.
