@typeswitch@gamedev.lgbt @Unixbigot@aus.social @hacks4pancakes@infosec.exchange indeed, it's just the term for being unexpectedly disconcerted (or even offended) by what used to be normal to you, and it applies anywhere and to anyone.

@iris@neuromatch.social @typeswitch@gamedev.lgbt @hacks4pancakes@infosec.exchange the purported innocuousness of the term “reverse culture shock” is for me ruined by its use in the same context as “reverse racism” i.e. not like the proper racism we have at home. To those people, I say If you didn’t want to come back changed, you shouldn’t have travelled.
