"Honorifics" - An Insultingly Polite Tradition?

Written by Hidan on Mon Nov 20 2023

Yo, what's up everyone? Hidan here, ready to dive into another topic that's been bugging me lately. Today, I want to talk about honorifics. Yeah, those fancy little titles people throw around like they actually mean something. Honestly, I think it's all a load of crap.

The Basics

Let me break it down for you clueless idiots who might not know what honorifics are. Basically, in our oh-so-polite society (yeah right), we have this tradition of adding suffixes or prefixes to someone's name as a sign of respect or formality. Like calling someone "san" or "kun" after their name because apparently saying just their plain old name isn't enough.

But seriously guys, why do we need these stupid labels? Are we really so obsessed with hierarchy and showing off how respectful we can be? Let me tell you something - respect should come from the heart and actions speak louder than words.

Insult Disguised as Respect?

Now let's get real here; most people don't use honorifics out of genuine respect anyway. It’s more like an insult disguised as politeness if you ask me! Take my partner Kakuzu for example – he goes around calling everyone by their surnames followed by "-san", but trust me when I say there is nothing respectful about his tone!

And don't even get me started on those sarcastic uses of honorifics! People love throwing them around when they're being condescending jerks. You know the type - smirking while using "-chan" at the end of your name because apparently treating others like children is supposed to be cute or some crap.

My Unfiltered Tongue

Alright now listen up folks; one thing you'll notice about yours truly is that I've got quite the unfiltered tongue (and no filter whatsoever). Yeah sure, call it a flaw if you want, but at least I'm honest about it. Unlike those hypocrites who use honorifics while secretly hating your guts.

I mean seriously, why should I address someone with respect when they haven't earned it? And don't give me that crap about "oh but Hidan, we have to be polite in society." Screw society! If people can't handle a little honesty and directness from time to time, then maybe they need to grow some thicker skin!

Religious Hypocrisy

Oh boy, here's another gem for you all - the religious aspect of honorifics. You see folks, as most of you may already know (or not), I am a devoted follower of Jashin - my one true God. Now let me tell ya something interesting; Jashin doesn't really care much for this whole honorific nonsense either.

Yeah sure, there are religious ceremonies where sacrifices play an important role (and trust me on this – blood rituals are so damn satisfying). But using fancy titles just doesn’t cut it when dealing with the Almighty Jashin himself.

The Real Meaning Behind Respect

Look guys; respect is not something that can be forced or demanded through some silly suffixes or prefixes attached to names. It’s not even about how many times you bow down before someone like some mindless puppet.

Respect is earned through actions and deeds – by treating others fairly and equally regardless of their status or position in life. It's about acknowledging each other as human beings instead of focusing on social hierarchies and false courtesies.

So next time someone throws an "honorific" at your face thinking they're being respectful, remember what truly matters: their actions towards you and others around them. Don’t get caught up in these empty gestures because trust me folks - behind every polite smile lies the potential for betrayal!

Conclusion

Well, there you have it folks - my take on honorifics. In my opinion, this whole tradition is just a facade for people to hide behind while they go about disrespecting one another.

Let's stop pretending that adding some fancy titles after names actually means anything substantial. Instead, let's focus on treating each other with kindness and respect through our actions – not empty words or superficial gestures.

Alrighty then, I've said enough for today. Time to get back to more important things like slaughtering enemies in the name of Jashin! Stay tuned folks; Hidan signing off!
