Yeah... so many companies make it extremely hard to unsubscribe.

2018-10-17 03:35:12 UTC  

A culture that doesn't appropriate other cultures is either isolated or doomed to fail (from failure to adapt)

2018-10-17 03:35:15 UTC  

yas hulu slayyy

2018-10-17 03:35:20 UTC  

That is why I don't subscribe to anything like that.

2018-10-17 03:35:26 UTC  

👏

2018-10-17 03:35:30 UTC  

call them and give hulu customer service a stern talking-to

2018-10-17 03:35:35 UTC  

Rome was a good example of cultural appropriation and how to do it right

2018-10-17 03:35:43 UTC  

really

2018-10-17 03:35:49 UTC  

Well

2018-10-17 03:35:51 UTC  

I don't understand

2018-10-17 03:35:51 UTC  

Why not just say what it really is... Culture Appreciation.

2018-10-17 03:36:00 UTC  

I still don’t get it

2018-10-17 03:36:02 UTC  

... you’re a fucking genius.

2018-10-17 03:36:02 UTC  

People wouldn't adopt it if they didn't appreciate it.

2018-10-17 03:36:11 UTC  

I’m using that from now on.

2018-10-17 03:36:15 UTC  

Ah

2018-10-17 03:36:29 UTC  

I adopted a lot of Japanese culture because I appreciate its beauty and grace.

2018-10-17 03:36:38 UTC  

Rome copied what they saw and implemented it.

2018-10-17 03:36:49 UTC  

I came I saw I copied

2018-10-17 03:36:51 UTC  

They were very adaptive and that’s their strongsuit

2018-10-17 03:36:53 UTC  

When you are white but look more Mexican in the outside 🤔

2018-10-17 03:36:55 UTC  

And because you're a weebmuffin

2018-10-17 03:37:00 UTC  

Then again Rome fell but let’s not talk about that

2018-10-17 03:37:05 UTC  

Not all appropriation is voluntary, so it can't all be called appreciation.

2018-10-17 03:37:15 UTC  

well some is necessary to survive

2018-10-17 03:37:24 UTC  

I also had a idea of co-opting racial slurs and changing them into something positive.

2018-10-17 03:37:30 UTC  

There for eliminating any racial slurs.

2018-10-17 03:37:36 UTC  

Words change meanings all the time.

2018-10-17 03:37:40 UTC  

Why not do it to racial slurs.

2018-10-17 03:37:43 UTC  

The US constitution was based off of the Iroquois constitution

2018-10-17 03:37:54 UTC  

I just don’t like how it’s anti fun

2018-10-17 03:37:59 UTC  

They'll just pick new ones

2018-10-17 03:38:02 UTC  

Does that count

2018-10-17 03:38:08 UTC  

What would racist call people they hate then? If the racial slurs start to mean something positive.

2018-10-17 03:38:11 UTC  

oh you can’t wear this or that for halloween cuz it’s cultural appropriation

2018-10-17 03:38:40 UTC  

All those words developed organically

2018-10-17 03:38:44 UTC  

Eh, I don't understand why we give certain insults the designation of "slurs." That's just giving words power over us as we deem them completely unacceptable

2018-10-17 03:38:44 UTC  

Eliminate Racism by taking away their voices.

2018-10-17 03:38:47 UTC  

They will continue to do so

2018-10-17 03:38:58 UTC  

I actually did that with one group of humans in a story I worked on since I was tiny

2018-10-17 03:39:21 UTC  

I couldn’t explain what each word became for the story because those words still carry weight
