Look, I’m gunna take the basic decency approach here. I fucking hate the KKK and they deserve no good will, doesn’t mean I want to be subjected to violent images, period. Not wanting to see depictions of violence at work or school doesn’t make anyone a bad person.

I don’t believe so, but thank you for your guess!

Young children’s book, I viewed it at preschool. I remember being so engrossed with the art. I think it took place in space and the little colorful characters looked like sparkly Dots candy. I have tried to find it as an adult, but there’s so many children’s picture books is impossible to search what little info I have to go off.

I honestly feel so much shame about not getting married bc I would lose my gov benefits. I’ve never thought about it like this and it makes me feel less ashamed.

Can you pick a specific well-known depiction of ASPD and compare what is similar and dissimilar to your experience?

Thank you, i appreciate your extra guidance for lemmy lol

Thanks!

Respectfully, I disagree with your definition of cultural appropriation, but i agree it’s wrong to deny others the right to identify with their heritage or cultures.

Cultures borrow from one another, it’s just the nature of having multiple societies in proximity. I would argue (outside of the realm of exploitation) more often than not, cultural appropriation doesn’t come from a malevolent place, nor does it restrict anyone from otherwise enjoying their own heritage and culture. Some 9 year old wearing a Halloween costume of a Disney princess that isn’t their own race isn’t the crime we make it out to be. Worst case scenario it’s a faux pas, best case scenario, that kid took an interest in a group of people they are not familiar with and learned about them.

Also, as another commenter pointed out, the term cultural appropriation is used to cover a wide variety of offenses, so this disagreement could potentially come from that.

Edit: clarity

Yes! I love it, thank you for that follow up. That’s exactly what I mean.

In the spirit of my post, I’m glad you see a disparity in the term cultural appropriation like I do.

In the spirit of clarifying what I mean, cultural appropriation is using elements of another culture. What you described is exploitative, is very serious, and not what I’m referring to.

But I appreciate your input all the same.

Stop out-woking one another, it’s okay to be right silently in order to bring in fence sitters.

If someone says, “my spirit animal told me late-stage capitalism is evil” welcome them to the club with open arms, focus on how you’re alike and trust them to work out their faux pas over time spent among like-minded peers.

Also cultural appropriation ≠ exploitation, we can stop clutching our collective pearls over these faux pas.

I have gamed with my dad, I pick different games. Those ratings are handy sometimes.

I can see it being awkward if it was like… my parent or someone i don’t know well. My partner? No, we joke around, decide what to respond together, discuss what we like and don’t like about it, you know, couple shit.

I’m so jaded that I don’t believe anything anymore. Part of me thinks this is a publicity stunt so people go to the site and then they can justify their existence by their popularity/how many people visited their site.

;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

Or is it ;!;!;!;!;!;!;! ?
