outrun my gun: So fucking done with people complaining about cultural appropriation...
So fucking done with people complaining about cultural appropriation all the time. Not even serious issues, but some shit in kind ‘OMG SHE GOT A DREAMCATCHER’ or ‘HE HAS DREADLOCKS’. What the actual fuck. Cultures mix. People take one after another. Ever heard of globalization? You are all a part…
“You are a part of what you call ‘cultural appropriation’ and you are not any better than ‘silly crackers’ who dare to get a thing connected with your culture”
How does wearing “tribal” printed clothing connect you to Native cultures? How does having a dream catcher connect you to Native cultures? It doesn’t.
There is a difference between cultural appropriation and cultural appreciation.
You use people’s cultures for your own enjoyment, taking what you want, reducing it’s meaning and mocking the people you stole it from.
