Stop getting butthurt about what other people wear. Jesus christ. If anyone wants to wear a cross, headdress, nun costume, hijab, pentagram, gold chain…fuck it, who the fuck do you think you are to tell them they aren’t valid enough to wear it? You have no right. I literally don’t care. If you wear swastika because you like the way it looks I WILL NOT BE OFFENDED BECAUSE IT IS YOUR OWN FUCKING BODY AND YOUR OWN INDIVIDUAL TASTE. Is this really so hard to comprehend? So should we ban anyone who isn’t of European decent from wearing fucking uggs or yoga pants because a lot of white girls “identify” with it? No. Cause that’s hella dumb. If you think it looks cool, wear it. I don’t care if you’ve never opened a bible, never read the comic, are of no native blood, I literally could not give a fuck less.
Guarantee you twits who criticize others still wear green shirts on Saint Patrick’s day and wear togas to your college parties, is that not the exact same behavior you’re so butthurt about? Fuck off.
Stop telling people to be themselves if you’re just going to bash them for what they like.
End rant.
“fuck it, who the fuck do you think you are to tell them they aren’t valid enough to wear it? You have no right.”
You think people from a race and/or culture cannot decide who can wear their sacred items but you think you have the authority to speak over these people and give others permission to misuse these items? You do not have the authority to give anyone permission to misuse the items you have mentioned.
“If you wear swastika because you like the way it looks I WILL NOT BE OFFENDED BECAUSE IT IS YOUR OWN FUCKING BODY AND YOUR OWN INDIVIDUAL TASTE.”
There is a difference between expressing one’s individuality and stealing and misusing cultural items. One may have the freedom to steal these items and promote racism but that does not mean they should. One has the freedom to express themselves unless it invokes or insights violence against another person(s), First Amendment; and because racist costumes dehumanizes and often fetishizes people from marginalized cultures to wear them would be an act of violence.
“So should we ban anyone who isn’t of European decent from wearing fucking uggs or yoga pants because a lot of white girls “identify” with it? No.”
There is a difference between forced assimilation and cultural appropriation.
