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

yas hulu slayyy

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

👏

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

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

really

Well

I don't understand

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

I still don’t get it

... you’re a fucking genius.

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

I’m using that from now on.

Ah

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

Rome copied what they saw and implemented it.

I came I saw I copied

They were very adaptive and that’s their strongsuit

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

And because you're a weebmuffin

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

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

well some is necessary to survive

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

There for eliminating any racial slurs.

Words change meanings all the time.

Why not do it to racial slurs.

The US constitution was based off of the Iroquois constitution

I just don’t like how it’s anti fun

They'll just pick new ones

Does that count

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

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

All those words developed organically

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

Eliminate Racism by taking away their voices.

They will continue to do so

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

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

It would be much harder for them to speak from a platform if the words they use as racial slurs is changed into something positive.
