put on a domino mask, and suddenly it's a superhero.For a masquerade party.
Its a cute dress. Would wear 10/10Thanks.
The concept of cultural appropriation is itself cultural appropriation.And there's also excess political correctness.
It is basically the creation of one specific group of people that has been adopted by and misused by other people who never actually understood it or the context within which it was originally developed.
you can call yourself.... the RAINBOW RIDER!I guess.
other species lack the function to imitate and appropriate new ideas and skills.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2xHDuSe8d3o
The concept of cultural appropriation is itself cultural appropriation.Lol, what?

Lol, what?It's all just tribalism.
It's all just tribalism.I disagree. If a white person were to dress in black face I would think it's ok for people to be outraged at that.
Anyone who pisses and moans about "appropriation!!" is a tribalist. It's that simple.
If a white person were to dress in black face I would think it's ok for people to be outraged at that.At what point has blackface ever been "cultural appropriation"?
I disagree. If a white person were to dress in black face I would think it's ok for people to be outraged at that.Yeah, I don't think most people really understand what is meant when people generally speak about cultural appropriation (negative). It's dependent on cultural and historical contexts, which for some reason makes it really hard for stupid people to grasp it. There's a reason why nobody gives af if you dress up as a ninja but it's really fucked up to dress up as an indigenous American with a feathered headdress.
At what point has blackface ever been "cultural appropriation"?Yeah, it's appropriation at its absolute worst, because it is a representation of a *stereotype* of black people. And that is ultimately what most negative cultural appropriation ends up being... unless you're going to claim that those shitty indian halloween costumes are EITHER inaccurate representations and stereotypes OR that they're not cultural appropriation.
It's overtly-racist cosplay , and always has been.
There's a reason why nobody gives af if you dress up as a ninja but it's really fucked up to dress up as an indigenous American with a feathered headdress....is it too late for the Village People to add a ninja?
...is it too late for the Village People to add a ninja?Hmm, he might be too quiet for their style.
At what point has blackface ever been "cultural appropriation"?Since its inception? Have you ever heard of minstrel shows(I'm not trying to sound condescending, I'm genuinely asking). I will concede that the term "cultural appropriation" probably didn't exist until relatively recently.
I will concede that the term "cultural appropriation" probably didn't exist until relatively recently.It's certainly not in the same sense of "cultural appropriation" as, say, Taco Bell.
It's certainly not in the same sense of "cultural appropriation" as, say, Taco Bell.I agree. Your earlier post started it was tribalism and that's all it simply is. Im trying to argue that there is definitely nuance and "levels" to this.
