Showing cleavage or midriff. Sex and marriage is considered sacred in Krosana, it's the most important decision most people will ever make.

Intelligent nonhuman civilizations.
'Preach the word! Be ready in season and out of season. Convince, rebuke, exhort, with all longsuffering and teaching. I charge you therefore before God and the Lord Jesus Christ, who will judge the living and the dead at His appearing and His kingdom: For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers; and they will turn their ears away from the truth, and be turned aside to fables. But you be watchful in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry.' (II Timothy 4:1-5 NKJV)

Radiatians are extremely suspicious of religion, or religious people - they tend to be looked down upon and seen as either eccentrics, or mentally ill.

Civil rights advocates; simply because there isn't any sort of restrictions or cultural issues in the culture and there never had been, and quietness is extremely valued.
Also, bigender system; the language is incompatible with any sort of gender system.
Dogs, which are seen as too rambunctious and loud, and if your dog is too loud, you will be arrested and serve 1-3 weeks of prison time.
Trust based on anything less than a blood oath.
Laws. There are guidelines, but not laws. There are courts, but they're used to settle grievances between two people, and work on a case-by-case system. But laws are seen as too restricting.
Nweh.

Don't do anxiety, existential depression, or not eating. Basically don't be me.

Extremist political views, such as racism, fascism, communism, radical Islamism, etc.

Bad manners and impoliteness are generally disdained by Neraguans.

However, the one thing most people seem to agree is the single most negative act in the country, is queue jumping. There have been deaths related to it. Woe betide anyone who queue jumps.

Sorry, I misunderstood the question. I though it asked for something seen negatively about our culture.

In Marina, religious fundamentalism and extreme secularism/militant atheism are booth looked down upon.

We have a society which stresses very highly egalitarianism and social cohesion, as well as sameness to a certain degree, and the expectations around how an individual behaves is largely ruled by the Laws of Jante, or at least they are similar enough to it that they can be used as an example. Overall, while the individual may do as they wish, so long as they violate no laws, in their own private life, but public behavior is governed by the following code of conduct - not in entirety, but its a good start to understanding it:

  1. You're not to think you are anything special.
  2. You're not to think you are as good as anyone.
  3. You're not to think you are smarter than anyone.
  4. You're not to convince yourself that you are better than anyone.
  5. You're not to think you know more than anyone else does.
  6. You're not to think you are more important than anyone else.
  7. You're not to think you are good at anything.
  8. You're not to laugh at anyone.
  9. You're not to think anyone cares about you.
  10. You're not to think you can teach anyone anything.

Other than that, generally causing a disturbance of the peace, being very loud or inconsiderate, or not strictly obeying the law, are all frowned upon, and will harm your reputation among people.

Racism, sexism, the belief that your relgion (if you have one) is superior to everyone else's, and generally just being rude is disliked. Generally, people are friendly to each other, and don't like it when someone starts shooting their mouth off.

-Being cosmopolitan, pro-Western, or otherwise "rootless". Jet-setters, global nomads, and self-proclaimed "world citizens" are likely to be shunned for their lack of loyalty toward any country or culture.

-Fixing that which ain't broke. Kiravians don't believe in historical progress and reject change for the sake of change.

-Careerism. Hard work is a cardinal virtue in Kiravian culture, but work is always seen as a means to an end (supporting oneself and one's family). Climbing the corporate ladder just for the sake of it is seen as a vanity and those suspected of it are often subject to ridicule.

-Grave desecration. The Coscivian people were primarily ancestor-worshippers before the advent of monotheism, and ancestor worship has been firmly syncretised into Kiravian Christian observance as prayer for the souls of the dead and frequent visitation of graves. Many Kiravian states guarantee "grave easement" (access to the graves of one's ancestors even if they lie on or are surrounded by someone else's property) as a civil right. Desecrating a grave is a, well, grave criminal offence, pardon the pun, and considered the ultimate insult.
