But it’s not censorship. It’s basic courtesy and respect.

In my house I wear my shoes. I’ve got a dog and 2 cats and the carpets came with the house 10+ years ago. I literally give no shits if you wear your shoes in my house.

But that might be a different thing in your house. If I’m invited to your house and you say “please take off your shoes” I take off my shoes. I don’t quiz you about whether it’s a cultural thing, or an allergens thing, or comment that “your carpets don’t look new, what’s the big deal”. Or cry about how my shoes are a part of my personal identity and now my vision of the day will be ruined if I take them off. I just take them off, because I’m not a schmuck.

Honoring the reasonable requests of people occupying space with you…it’s just basic kindergarten level stuff.
