Automata 10 Pack posted:In a follow-up tweet, she attempted to clarify her statement: “I can see where if you squint I was implying all Asian-inspired properties are the same, especially if you were already privy to those conversations where I had not seen them. But the basic framework of ATLA is becoming popular in fantasy fiction outside of Asian inspired stuff.”

Joe Lieberman: A man of great dignity much beloved by his colleagues. Lieberman represented the best of a politician who worked across the aisle despite disagreements. He's a man from a bygone era in these days of polarization caused by Trump's hatred of half the country.

Probably Magic posted:Misunderstandings of cultural appropriation have led to odd arguments for basically segregated culture even over stuff that wouldn't be sacrilegious to appropriate, which seems to ignore that culture is adopted all the time, by all cultures. That takes away from the thin identity adopted by second or third generation diaspora, so they get huffy at anyone proud of their fourth or fifth generation heritage, but also ends up stymying any cultural education. Wow, weird that white supremacy and white pride have taken off in the wake, it's like you need a gentle hand guiding people through understanding culture rather than a series of gatekeeping that seem divorced from the original culture at hand. i disagree with this in the sense that a lot of the shallowness of this cultural knowledge stems from even fourth or fifth generation people claiming to be cultural experts by the sheer power of blood quantum rather than lived experience this is how we get to situations like elizabeth warren thinking she can do an alex haley style roots expose on her extremely real native american background because if you take identity politics to its natural conclusion this is an entirely reasonable thing for her to claim and for that matter anyone else meanwhile actual minority communities are drifting toward trumpism because antiracism identity discourse isnt designed for them its designed for better assimilated individuals with minority backgrounds to take charge of cultural discourse so they can impress white people man i really need to get back to translating my comic the part i left off with the restaurant failing because its adapting high end western food culture philosophy into local beef bone soup culture is such a fantastic example of fundamental culture clash that has basically no usage of stereotypes from either one thats such a rare thing these days on either side of that

A pretty significant amount of "cultural appropriation" discourse in the US is essentially US born descendants of a certain region trying to claim the role of gatekeepers to ensure the success of their own career/business. And that much is obvious because "imperialism" or "neocolonialism" never appears as an axis of domination. There is never a question of "why is this American born/American based person the voice to turn to?" And of course these claims never get to the issue of actual appropriation. This NY based fashion designer once went to Brazil, saw a beach vendor selling knitted bikinis, bought one and started mass producing them for sale in the US. She then sued Victoria's secret and other stores for trying to sell something similar. When it came out that she had essentially ripped off a poor Brazilian beach vendor, the American based company won in court because the poor, not fluent in english, Brazilian woman had missed the statute of limitations on copyright infringement claims.

Nanomashoes posted:In A Failing Grade for the Present Tense William Gass says the flattening of style started in the 70’s when deep throat and watergate convinced everyone that journalism was noble. College english courses retooled themselves to crank out journalists because suddenly that was what students wanted to be. So since then everyone’s just been trained to be a stenographer and not comment on or have an inner life or anything more than events and quotes. Ahhhhhh

It just feels like a bum fight of people claiming to have cultural superiority spare the actual first gen immigrants who all have this love for America that I frankly envy.

There is never a question of "why is this American born/American based person the voice to turn to?" sometimes it even gets to white person gatekeeping culture a for doing culture b wrong that is always wild to see irl esp when it stems from people actually from culture b being happy to see someone other than rich white tourists for once

AmiYumi posted:there is also the popular genre of white person gatekeeping other white people about the culture their career is built on See white people who have never been to Mexico yelling about what is and isn't authentic Mexican food. I say white people but it's mainly "Texans and people who don't laugh at Texans when they try to claim everyone else's culture."

Probably Magic posted:The problem is when people more and more act as an extension of institutions as opposed to individuals capable of empathy, personal stance, philosophy, etc. I'm certainly not criticizing what you're saying, it's very much in line with my own religious beliefs, but it's hard to live up to those beliefs when I don't feel like I'm dealing with people any more, but rather, apparatchiks of a callous, impersonal, post-human power. empathy itself in general has become an abstract thing people talk about in theory but more for themselves and not for others , it just comes off as self obsession
