Tramp pulling faces again. 😂 Promise his is a happy kitten, just expressive.
I see what you did there. Focusing the camera on your face while the kitten in the foreground is fuzzy. I see the subtle attention grab. Trying to get compliments on those glasses? Because they're nice.

I know three lesbians that own goats...
goats are the cats of the farming world
What? I would have thought cats were the cats of the farm world since pest control on farms is the entire reason cats became domesticated in the first place. Or are you saying that goats are better at eating mice in the food stores without damaging the food than cats are?
barn cats are the goats of the cat world
i fucking hate goats. I had them growing up. They constantly broke out of the enclosure, did thousands worth of damage to the barn and patio furniture, pooped everywhere, did no actual work (My parents got them to eat the brush surrounding our property), and required more care than they were worth. It was a blessing when my dad took them back to the farmer who mistakenly sold them to us.
A Japanese kimono company was messaged regarding cultural appropriation using Ainu patterns for their products, they listened and removed the product from their lineup.
Actually I don’t feel like celebrating. This kimono looks beautiful! That was an Ainu’s patten. Well, spread the word! If it is not used with the original meaningful purpose… then laugh! It is also the perfect pretext to teach his meaning to others. You get confused by misuse because you can’t truly grasp your own culture and take pleasure in it no matter what. Please learn from the elders to enjoy it without shame!
I think that considering the varied issues, I would rather support an Ainu-based company making Japanese-style kimono with Ainu designs over a Japanese-based company commodifying Ainu culture. Although I can’t speak as someone Ainu, I know I’m very uncomfortable with Kyoto-based kimono artisans taking and using Okinawan textiles and textile designs and selling it when there is a strong Okinawan textile community in Okinawa. I don’t think this is a laughing matter and I’m glad the company was willing enough to take it down and to talk about it. Yes, we should talk about the designs and the purpose and the meaning but at the same time, commodification isn’t funny especially when the country in question has only recently viewed your people as indigenous and still heavily are not treating Ainu as equals.
To that, you’re an Italian who thinks they speak on behalf of Ainu? And also are you implying that any Ainu individuals who may be uncomfortable with the situation are incapable of grasping their culture but you (and Japanese) people are?
You can grasp your own culture and still not be comfortable with this…
There is mention of both financial security and cultural appropriation in this response. Those are separate issues. An Okinawan textile company can demonstrate loss of profit by the theft of a pattern or style used by that company. I assert that damage caused to a culture by another group of people using cultural knowledge from that culture can not be proven. There is more harm in stifling creativity and the ability to build up from other's cultures.

Policing the choices of individuals, like the girl's prom dress, is impossible and unethical. We can never stop individuals from appropriating culture. But one solution that I think is manageable is to require companies, magazines, museums, and any non-individual entity that appropriates to provide information about the artifact, its origins, and its significance in context. How do you feel about this as a bad-aid to address the offense of cultural appropriation?
I don’t refer to calling out individuals for being racist as “policing”. But it’s true we can’t control their actions. Doesn’t mean they’re immune from consequences: such as us calling them out.
It is impossible and infeasible and undesirable imo to try and control their actions. I don’t even think requiring non-individual entities to provide context about something is feasible. That’s way too broad. It could be feasible for museums I suppose, but not *every* non individual entity. That’s impossible.
What we need is a better and broader education system, and promotion of a consent culture. And I don’t just mean sexual consent, though that’s important, but consent in the sense of respecting boundaries in terms of cultural boundaries or dietary restrictions, and other such things.

I really like this idea of expanding consent. i wonder if this type of teaching is possible through standardized education, or requires a cultural shift. as for calling people out, i wouldnt call that policing. thats just life, and the result of living in a democracy. it needs to happen in order to spread ideas. it doesnt mean that anyone called out needs to make changes, however. they then have the opportuinity to give their rationale.

I think i understand what your blog is about. Your not against people exploring new cultures and sharing the art,history,folklore and culture of Asian nations. You don't want to various cultures boiled down to nothing more but cheap costumes and such,petty amusements and trinkets to be disposed of when the novelty wears off. i'm Native American so i can relate. I see cheap war bonnets,necklaces and numerous other items all the time. I just sigh and shrug it off. Not much i can do really.
Yes, this is definitely one of the things our blog is about. Thanks for taking the time to understand. I appreciate that.

when you wanna talk about that thing you’re obsessed with but you already said a lot about it and don’t wanna be annoying
Maybe people feel that when objects are taken out of context, much of their meaning is lost, and that culturalappropriation cheapens the culture which has been “robbed.”
ther people feel that adopting things from other cultures is not necessarily harmful, especially when it is done in a conscious, thoughtful way. These supporters point out thatcultural exchange has often been very beneficial historically, and that sharing artifacts between cultures can lead to interesting conversations and greater mutual understanding.
What about Dr Who? Is that culturally appropriating British people if an American or African or anyone else watch it?
Race and everything aside, just watching/observing someone elses culture is not appropriation. It becomes appropriation when someone else from another culture starts taking parts of the culture and uses it. Cultural appropriation isn't a two way street. It is hurtful because of histories of violence and/or descrimination by the group thats doing the taking. So brittish people taking American culture could possibly be cultural appropriation, because they oppressed americans at some point. But the brittish were the ultimate oppressors so they can't be appropriated from, but assimilated to. I see what kind of argument you're trying to make, and im on your side, but you need to know what you're talking about if you're going to land a point that means anything.
With that being said, white people continue to dismiss anything POC have to say about their own cultures and to be assholes about it
And the world keeps spinning.
what is this referring to? the offense associated with appropriation?
and condoms

to my irl friends, who are the only ones who follow me,
i just wanna talk about cultural appropriation. my one passion. i want a debate with someone who has studied this nearly as much as i have.
One of these is a religious symbol. One is a wellness toy.
