some thoughts on cultural appropriation

[D4M10N]

The recurring theme of the attempted rebuttal being "this doesn't effect me, so I don't see why it's a problem."

It does effect me, though. It gives me more variety in both music and cuisine.

Yeah, it's a little bit gross how obvious it is, isn't it?

So it goes, poo-tee-weet.

If you all are done patting yourselves on the back, there's a real example that's been brought forward for discussion about whitewashing stories form other cultures in film...

All the other examples at invalid because you said so?

Who cares!  We've been trying to find a good example we could meaningfully discuss, we have one.  It's a path to move forward and have the conversation.  STOP BEING YOU FOR A MOMENT!

The people who gave those examples only to have them dismissed probably care. Who decided that you get to decide which examples are valid?

Pick a film and go for it.

How about the new Ghost In The Shell?

I want one of the people who thinks cultural appropriation is a real issue and problem to pick one.  It's only fair.

[SkeptiQueer]

But only if they pick a specific issue that you've decided on.

I am against cultural insensitivity but I feel that cultural appropriation in all but the most extreme cases is a stupid concept. I love The 7 Samurai but I have no problem with the Magnificent Seven or white Hip Hop groups such as Grand Buffet.

No, you have not been one of the people arguing for this being a problem, so you shouldn't be the one to pick.  Apparently my very reasons for suggesting that a review of a movie about making a show that dealt with racial stereotypes, that almost nobody here has seen, are just miss dismissing the super valid arguments.  And I see superdave has now liked a post claiming that I'm not hearing the totally valid arguments being presented.  Well fine.  I actually tried to have a real conversation about this issue with you all, but apparently there's no desire for that, so I guess there's no point to this topic.  So now I'm going to post about cat videos.
