Oscar bait movies are visible a mile away, because they're always either about the movie industry itself, or super serious poo poo like the Holocaust or whatever.

Cultural appropriation is rad as hell, the best cultures always steal the best bits from others and make it their own. Eg- The persians had their culture stolen by the greeks, which was stolen by the romans, which was stolen by goths/franks, which was stolen by the normans, which was stolen by the english, which was stolen by America. And we all know that 'Merica is #1. Black/minority artists getting plagarized or marginalized is not rad. They should get recognized. My hot take.

the really funny thing with complaining about appropriation, is that you're essentially guaranteeing that the majority culture will never, ever be influenced by the minority culture, in any positive way, because bastardization is like the first step to introducing something foreign and since it's not appropriation when the minority culture takes from the majority, that's just normal poo poo, you're also guaranteeing that all cultural impact will be in exactly one direction, majority -> minority you get so hosed in the head about racism, that you're literally enabling cultural imperialism, and giving it a nice 'progressive' curtain to hide behind

like if you want to prevent white people stealing rock and roll, go back in time and give all the young kids listening to 'black music' your nice little primer on cultural appropriation, how it's actually just violence against black people and bad, and congrats you'll have prevented all that nasty appropriation the downside is, we'll be stuck with whatever stupid poo poo white people music evolves into, and all the racists white people at the time will be super happy with that, because they have bad taste in music, and didn't want all their white kids to listen to anything but boring & stupid swing or whaever, but you can't make omelettes with breaking some eggs

Its not the appropriation that actually harms the minority culture though, it's just plain old racism that's denying them opportunity or whatever It's the dumb college kids that are using the term correctly, not you, so yeah gently caress that noise

Like you don't get to deploy the No True Scotsman fallacy because you don't like the implications of your idea, either appropriation is bad or it's not

Matey, you're the one talking about how college kids crap totes 'doesn't count', because you said so, don't try this Just Asking Questions routine on me. Also all my posts are all insanely good, fyi, it's not my fault you have bad taste.

That sort of leads into the discussion of "are safe spaces a good idea", with the answer over time turning out to be "loving nope" - for every dickhead you block from disrupting your space, you give a dickhead inside that space free reign on their bullshit, because calling them on that bullshit means threatening to be ejected. So the problem they exist to counter is real, but the cure itself introduces its own problems. But the issue then is 'okay, but does that mean we're back to square one, where it comes to there being no space where oppressed people can talk and organize openly?', with my reply being 'I hope not'. Can reasonable norms be enforced without corruption talking root? Can security be guaranteed without relying on identity profiling? My hypothesis is: yes, but not without a structured, systems-based approach.

wearing dreadlocks is not some slipperly slope to blackface/mocking american indians, so if you label both as the same CultureCrime, then your label is dumb and stupid
