![]() As long as the woman pictured and OP is honouring the cultural, that's fantastic because it is cultural appreciation. However, when (for example) an Aboriginal/Indigenous culture is bought and sold by non-Aboriginal people who are simultaneously perpetuating negative stereotypes and further marginalising these people, THAT is cultural appropriation. That's doing a great work to include Aboriginal culture in the mainstream cultural and foster proper cultural appreciation. ![]() I'm Australian and a lot of children are learning about Aboriginal culture in school to create a greater environment of appreciation and acceptance. None of the examples you gave demonstrate that.Ĭultural exchange and appreciation is very important. Cultural appropriation happens when marginalised and disenfranchised group have central aspects of their cultural identity sold without being honoured or supported. You're only focusing on one side, both cultural appropriation and appreciation exist. I just haven’t seen anyone do it elegantly with valid talking points yet If you think I’m being ignorant, I’m open to being swayed. So I guess I’m still open to a friendly challenge on that because if trap music was invented, then other people making it can’t be appropriation, no? So if music is an invention, then so are genres. The only point really worth considering so far is that I’m referencing inventions, and inventions are apparently not culture People want to keep picking arguments but then don’t have anything to say when I challenge them on something Just sayin that we are crying about way too many things in 2023 when there are much bigger things to cry about Gatekeeping cultures is contributing to the devolvement of humanityįor the record, I’m not saying insensitivity doesn’t exist when it comes to other cultures. That’s actually what allows us to evolve as a species. We have been plagiarizing each other since humanity came into existence, and trying to improve upon those ideas others made Hopefully you see how stupid it all sounds when you actually realize that no thoughts are original. Our modern idea of “a free society” was created by a bunch of white peopleĭoes that mean other countries are appropriating our culture by setting up similar political infrastructure? The simple fact is, humanity has a vast history of ‘appropriating other cultures’ if that’s what you wanna call it. ![]() ![]() They happened to be born into a culture and now they wanna complain that others are stealing “their” culture, as if they are the ones personally responsible for creating that culture Its just gatekeeping culture, and it’s not like any of the people alive today complaining about cultural appropriation, were actually alive at the time to even give any of their energy into creating the culture they’re apparently so worried about So if Japan starts making cars for profit (and doing a better job of it), does that mean they’re appropriating? Guess who invented the automobile? White people. Does that mean other cultures are appropriating white or Italian culture if they play the piano? That’s fucking stupid Guess who invented the piano? Some white dude from italy. Does that mean all hip hop using 808’s is appropriating Japanese culture? Guess who invented the 808? Some dude in Japan. ![]() There’s a large amount of ignorant people who say you can’t make hip hop if you’re not black ![]()
