I misused the word "mitigate", but I think I subconsciously chose that word because I was hoping to imply that my opinion of "Visions" today was considerably less vociferous than it was a year ago

I'm curious why would anyone be offended by a bindi? Some are pretty nice.
― Me So Hormetic (Sanpaku), Wednesday, 24 April 2013 16:19 (eleven years ago) link
cries of cultural appropriation, I'd think
― Dr. Adorbius (mh), Wednesday, 24 April 2013 16:20 (eleven years ago) link
Everything we wear and do is appropriated from somewhere. The idea of exclusive ownership of cultural symbols is kinda offensive too.

white privilege in a nutshell innit
― flamenco drop (lex pretend), Wednesday, 24 April 2013 16:34 (eleven years ago) link
Look, we've had 10s of 1000s of generations of tribal warfare based in part on cultural identifiers like this. I just think the sooner we drop the idea that these things are exclusively owned and building fences between tribes the better off we'll all be.
The white guy with dreads isn't mocking or stealing from the rasta, he's just paying homage and looking a bit silly.

Grimes is, except for maybe Pynchon, probably the single public figure of some note that I most wished posted on here

i'm not sure what's so amazing about her latest tumblr post? i mean i understand and sympathize with what she's saying, it just doesn't sound particularly remarkable to mr

Yeah I think it's slightly sad that they're seen as revolutionary and SO amazing etc - it should be obvious and taken for granted! - but she's right and unfortunately in our present cultural moment it needs to be said

so it's because she's famous? feel like my female friends (musicians and non-musicians) have all expressed similar sentiments, usually w better grammar and punctuation.
maybe i should drop this line of inquiry, i'm going to sound like i'm hating on grimes when really i don't mind her at all
― the late great, Wednesday, 24 April 2013 18:39 (eleven years ago) link
i guess as lex says these things need to be said by more famous people so no reason to look too deeply into why this particular blog post resonated

there you go

Yep. Her message stands out because her message reaches eat more people than your musician and non-musician friends, and because most well-known musicians have nothing useful to say

okay someone needs to stop her before her messages eat more poor unsuspecting people

yeah her being famous plays a part, this is obvious, we really don't need to "look deeply" into why people are linking to this instead of tlg's mates

Can we go back to the bindi thing for a second?
Does no one else think it's semi-problematic that she is not allowed to wear something that has morphed into something of a fashion statement even though she grew up in a household with family members from the originating culture? Like, shouldn't the connections in her own family to the culture surrounding bindis trump anonymous people getting huffy on the Internet?
I mean, I am not criticizing her desire not to offend anyone but this seems like something where the people getting mad should maybe find out something about her first?
― Call me at **BITCOIN (DJP), Thursday, 25 April 2013 15:45 (eleven years ago) link

Our mutaween has extensive training in taking offence, and knowing which cultural appropriations, and which directions of cultural appropriation, are appropriate.

Sort of seems like she's getting more and more famous, now she's a target for the .001% of people that would genuinely get upset at this, and the .001% of people that fake being upset at it for pageviews.
