it\u2019s funny how\u00a0\u201cFrench maid\u201d has been replaced by\u00a0\u201cJapanese pastiche of French maid\u201d in the popular consciousness.

Honestly Japan did the same thing with “girl in a bunny suit”, “attractive young nurse”, “uniformed schoolgirl” and “nun”, it’s like they’re trying to catch up
