Boing posted:I agree. So where is the line? What is it specifically that makes an instance of cultural 'borrowing' disrespectful? I think trying to draw hard lines on these kind of things is a fools errand. The key is an open and respectful dialogue, as it is in most things. Of course this is often hard when the internet comes into play, but not impossible.

Someone once told me you can care about multiple things at once and I wanted to argue with him, but global warming has a bigger net impact than his single statement so I had to let it slide.

I can't wait till the increasing privatization of colleges drives all the vestiges of leftism off of college campuses so that they'll no longer be some kind of cultural boogeyman.

Once again we have a phenomena were minorities complain about an experience, but confused white people have never encountered it, so it must not exist right? The world may never know...

Exclamation Marx posted:I guess I don't see "appropriation" as inherently negative, probably because I'm more used to it being used in the sense of artistic recontextualisation. Is there a formulised name for the non-appropriative kind of borrowing? Someone said cultural diffusion earlier, which might be a better term. idk

The Insect Court posted:It's not that we necessarily disagree with the concept of cultural appropriation. It's that we think you're a moron who has no real understanding of it and who has never bothered to really engage critically with the issue and has just latched onto it as a way to provide yourself with a smug sense of superiority. lol

I'm deeply moved. We could all learn a thing or two from The Insect Court. Look how much he genuinely cares.
