I caught the host sister using a webcam for naughty things

[Digital Masta]

First a little background, my host sister is 18 years old and is a first year at an all women’s college. She also went to an all girl’s high school, when I asked her about it she basically told me that she’s very uncomfortable around boys, in the shy sense, she doesn’t even have male friends, this is a little shocking even in Japan, where gender relations are a little bit different, anyway weeks ago she got a webcam and said she had to use it for some class…okay fine I never thought anything of it after that.

Now to the shock…well not really shock…but anyway…

So I’m walking home at around 2AM and I notice that the living room/dining room light is still on in my host family’s house. This is a little abnormal seeing as my host mother insists on 11PM all electronic devices going off. But since it was Friday I guess that rule is much more lax. Anyway as I approach the door I walk pass the window and look in to see whose still up. I look in and see my host sister and I think nothing of it. But then I look a little bit closer and that is when I was a wee bit taken back at what I saw…okay I was pretty damn shocked cause this is a ballsy move, and I didn’t expect this from her but I should have because it’s always the quiet, shy ones.

I know what my host sister’s pajamas look like…and I KNOW that the top is held on by two straps…those two straps were CLEARLY NOT ON! The webcam was ON and there she was in front of it barring her Japanese chest to it…I had no clue as to what her hands were doing because after the shock I quickly moved to door and I sat there for a good minute processing what I just saw. But here is the real kicker…


I KNOW SHE SAW ME…she either saw me walk past or saw the look of shock on my face because even though her back was to me the camera was obviously facing towards the window and she could see herself and behind her. Seeing as when I entered the house her straps were back on and the laptop was now on its desktop screen and not the camera program she was using.

I have no idea if there was someone on the other end watching and enjoying, man or woman or she could have been recording to use at a later date I have NO IDEA! All I know is that the innocent picture I had of her has been shattered.

Not that I’m bothered by it…it’s just shocking. I haven’t seen or spoken to her since…this was last night and of course when I walked in the house I didn’t say a word to her and went on with my business.

Seeing as she would be embarrassed as all hell if I did this so I won’t…I wanted to explain to her pointers for helping to not get caught like…

1) Close the window blinds

And
2) Try to angle yourself in a place where u can’t be seen so damn easily.

maybe thats just the extra credit part for the class?

[Nebosuke]

Just talk to her about it. If you aren't going to out her to her parents or anything, just straight up tell her "look, about the other night, I didn't see anything" or somesuch. If you don't, it's gonna get *really* awkward.

[羽之助]

Maybe she has a boyfriend in some other town? Or he's not allowed to leave his house, or too far away, or something.

But yeah, just indirectly say how you didn't see a damn thing, and will be making loud footsteps from now on.

Is that her on the avatar??

[jindojim]

Yeah, upon reading that little story, I am sure it evokes images for some people of some hot idol-quality Japanese girl baring her breasts for the world's enjoyment.

When in reality, she's probably an average to poor looking girl doing a little webcam fun with her boyfriend. Or just seeing how she might look on webcam while she thinks no one's looking. Both scenarios seem more likely than jumping to the conclusion "OMG she's a hot horny slut willing to bare it all!". And if that's the case, she was probably mortified, and you should try to reassure her by talking to her. And making sure everything is okay because if you have to live w/ someone and there's tension btwn you...things can get ugly.

[mawande]

Or there was something, like a bug bite or whatever, on her chest that she wanted to get a picture of so she could ask her friends what they thought.

Yeah Mawande, I don't think that's true.

Man, this thread made me laugh. 4 out of 5 :rofl: for you. That's hilarious. You should talk to her eventually, though. You don't want to make it extremely ackward to the point where she tells the family she doesn't like you. That is very funny story.

[4letterwords]

Wow. Someone I can actually help.

I was in a very similar situation as you. I caught my host sister`s boyfriend with his hand exploring the unknown south during an obviously heavy make out session... I wish they would have locked the door...

Anyway... wait till you two are alone and talk about something else first... Keeping with Japanese tradition, lets just say, the weather. Hey its nice weather today... Yeah, itd be real fun to go shopping today or play baseball or something. Oh yeah hey by the way the other night... does your mom let you stay up that late on weekends? Youre so lucky. When I`m at home my mom insists that I go to bed by 12. I was so scared when I saw you, I thought the house was being robbed... (she`ll believe this one, Japanese houses don`t get robbed as much as American ones do)...

Since you said she was shy, the best idea would be to make her think you didn`t see anything. Even if she knows you did, she`ll appreciate the fact that you`re trying to bottle the situation up and throw it out the window... again, keeping with Japanese tradition :) (jk).

Any form or variation of the above is good, as long as you don`t refer to her breasteses.

For some reason that came to mind :s

[Komachi Angel]

You know, it might just do to Japanesely play dumb and pretend it never happened and you saw nothing, unless you were *very* clearly caught out. Avoid front-on confrontation.

What she was doing, in any way shape or form, is not the business of anyone here.

[Crowley]

I disagree entirely! It is our responsible job as nosey bastard Internet creepy people to find out as much as is humanly possible!

[Pierrot le Fou]

Okay, first of all, she's 18. She's an adult. If she feels like broadcasting her bosom (or anything else) to the world, in my mind it's her prerogative. Second of all, it's not like you sat outside the window whacking off (or at least I hope you weren't). You did nothing wrong. If you bring it up, it will make things more awkward. This is Japan -- not the US. Let sleeping dogs lie. If she knows you saw, she learned her lesson. If she doesn't know you saw, then nobody's the wiser.

In the meantime, for the sake of everyone's interest, please give us her internet contact information, mmmkay? Thanks.

[Azrael]

While it's possible she may have been doing something naughty, it's also possible she may have been saying to a female friend "Hey, I think they're getting bigger! What do you think?" I don't think you saw enough to make a judgement about what she was doing.

At any rate, it's not much of your business. Best to just ignore it/pretend it never happened and move along with your lives.

[Pierrot le Fou]

I entirely forget where (I was likely drunk and at a bar at the time), but some Japanese high school girl was showing photos of all her friends bosoms. Unclad or barely clad. Perhaps this could explain it? Regardless, I think that it's none of your business.

That would be a option i guess, the girls in my class before PE when we are waiting for the teacher to arrive they have the habit of talking about the breasts and comparing sizes, some even touch each others to see how big they feel.

The Japanese are fairly comfortable with discussing bodily functions and problems i think, as nearly everyone in my grade knows about my Mizu Mushi because i tolda few people and it goes all around.

It grows on you (like a tumour). There is a decent amount of reasonable advice and info on there. And a lot of crap. It happens... As of late it's been pretty poor, but it comes and goes in waves as I said.

Plus it helped contribute to me growing a thicker skin and all that.

Crowley, you hit the nail on the head and hammer it down. This particular woman is from Chiba and moved up here for God knows whatever reason. She was exuberantly relating stories about how stupid she thought people were for saying "Oban degozaimasu", which is the local way of saying konbanwa. お晩でございます vs 今晩は. She then asked me why saying "Maybe another time" is rude when you don't want to do something.

"It's not."
"But I read it in a bookstore."
"Don't believe everything you read."
(snickers from the chief of police who is sitting beside me)
"But I thought gaijin, sorry, Americans hated how Japanese people speak indirectly."
"How the hell should I know? I'm Canadian. We talk like that normally."

[Crowley]

Ahhh, BD. I checked it once, but I fled in terror and disgust. I've always thought of that forum as a place to vent J-Hatred or something, since most topics are "Fucking kids, we can't beat them up!" or "Fucking traffic", etc.

I didn't mean I don't know why you got mizumushi, I meant I don't know why they call it "water bug"

I can't think of another instance where they call a fungi a "mushi"

[羽之助]

If anything, it should be called "ashi no ko" or "ashi no shiitake".

Hanenosuke: That's not athlete's foot. That's just toenail fungus.

Just a wild guess, but maybe the word "mizumushi" comes from the fact that athlete's foot makes the skin on your foot looks like it's been chewed by bugs? I guess the mizu part probably comes from getting athlete's foot in public baths or shared places that are wet. So maybe the Japanese thought it was a bug from the water?

And where is Digital Masta w/ more info on the situation?

[Rellik]

how are you sure she saw you? The webcam window on her screen probably isn't that big and she might have been typing or concentrating on some other part of her monitor when you walked by... she could have covered up and minimized it only once she heard the sound of you comming into the house..

I guess grammar sometimes includes punctuation, but I wouldn't get all anal about it unless he jumbled up word order or something.

WERE WERE WERE WERE WERE WERE!

If I was you, I'd gone go and readed the article.

Were I chinpokomon, I would realize that this form of subjunctive is quickly going the route of "thou", and be less picky.

edit: or in the quotation directly from that article:
"Subjunctives met with today, outside the few truly living uses, are either deliberate revivals by poets for legitimate enough archaic effect, or antiquated survivals as in pretentious journalism, inflecting their context with dullness, or new arrivals possible only in an age to which the grammar of the subjunctive is not natural but artificial." - H.W. Fowler

[Chinpokomon]

Yes, in hindsight, I should have just let it slide.:gloomy:

Back on topic, I'd say it's a distinct possibility that she is doing naughty things on the internet, considering the rather laid back attitude towards sex that I've seen.

If you were an evil techno-snooper like Ozero's wife, you could check her history in her web browser and see which sites she's been visiting.

Personally, I'd just leave this one alone though.

[gentlemanandscholar]

Such a harsh quote isn't it? That man hates the subjunctive clause!

Yes, it's somewhat ironic that the passage in which he's lambasting subjunctive clauses for making passages dull and boring, is in fact, dull and boring, as the one I am writing has regrettably become.

Maybe that's just how Rodney Dangerfield talked (I don't remember). "I don't get no respect," isn't exactly good grammar either.

[koku]

I'm not reading 10 paragraphs so I can spot a grammatial error in 8 word post. Sorry chinkpokomon. You can just tell me, ya know. Because he didn't say "I'm going to go to hell" vs. "I'm going to hell"? I'm confused myself. I breifly scanned the definition of a subjunctive verb and guess what: yeah, I still don't get it.
