@Unixbigot@aus.social @hacks4pancakes@infosec.exchange what do you mean. I'm not american and I experienced "reverse culture shock" when i went back home after away for a long time. Nothing american about that.
The "reverse" just means it's the opposite direction from the forward culture shock of leaving your home country.

@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.
