    It turned out that although she looked white and her parents looked white, her extended family was actually asian. So it wasn’t even appropiation to begin with.

    Still everyone needs to chill, my fellow honkeys, please stop getting offended on behalf of others. Playing the role of the “White Savior” comes off as more bigoted than progressive.

    “Cultural Appropiation” is the single dumbest thing I’ve ever fucking heard.

    All cultures grow by learning about and adopting customs of other cultures, or in other words by appropiating things from other cultures.

    And if they did that didn’t we wouldn’t have things like anime (Japan took the art of animation from America, not only did The US invent cartoons, but anime evolve from styles used on early Disney cartoons), rock music (Rock musicians are predominantly white, but rock itself evolved from distinctly black forms of music), or really most food in general (Pizza’s from Italy, French Fries are from Belgium, Hot dogs are from Germany… Need I go on?)

    At best, demonizing cultural appropiation is just encouraging segregation.

    Now if you’re wearing the colors or clothing of another culture specifically with intent to insult or in a less-than-glamorous way… That’s a different story. (I’m talking about those of you who think putting on an ET Mask and a Sombreo and claiming you’re an illegal alien is hillarious)

    This is the kind of Neo Liberal nonsense that makes me wish I had a party to root for that wasn’t the Democrats




  • Agreed, he’s just picking which side he thinks is currently winning the cultural war… and “Woke” being universally considered a bad thing does point to the Right winning that war, but… there are Leftist Arguments against Woke as well so not really.

    (Replace the word “Woke” with “Rainbow Capitalism” and you have the Leftist Argument against it)

    I hate this, because the idea comes from Hermetic spirituality, but from a very cherry picked version of it that basically says “Be as shitty a person as you want, give into your natural inclinations and vices”

    I know because I’ve seen this A LOT!

    Because the actual Seventh Principle of Hermeticism does not say to do this, it actually says to balance the masculine and feminine within yourself to acknowledge both as being geniunely within you. It also encourages that the two shouldn’t be seen as opposites but rather two endpoints on a vast spectrum, the same way we see hot and cold.

    But sadly too many “Gurus” somehow warped this into

    “Reject femininity, see it as weakness, and be a massive chauvinistic asshole.”

    When that couldn’t be further from what it’s saying.

    I’ve heard some backstory about this movie.

    One was that there was a bit in the script where the bankrobbers used Michael Myers masked to rob a bank, but the studio couldn’t get the rights to show Mikeyboi. So they just rewrote it into a joke and used Mike Myers masks, with the in-universe explanation being that the guy who bought the masks has simply never seen Halloween and did not know he was supposed to get the Horror Movie Character… and that Mike Myers apparently thought the bit was so funny that he okay’d his likeness for the flick.
