The conversation surrounding cultural appropriation has been so severely mutilated by white “allies” that the original intention behind that conversation has become almost unrecognizable in most social contexts.
To explain what I mean, the conversation around cultural appropriation was started by black and native people to discuss the frustrations we feel at being punished socially and financially for partaking in our cultural heritage while white people could take, I.e. appropriate, aspects of our culture that we are actively shamed for and be heralded as innovators. It was about the frustrations we feel when the same white people who shamed us would take our culture and wear it as if they were the ones who created it while still actively shaming us for doing the same.
The original push behind naming cultural appropriation and having these conversations were so that we as a society could evaluate why we were punished for our heritage while white People were not. It was supposed to be about seeking solutions. The idea was to create a society where we could celebrate our cultures with impunity. It was never about telling white people that they “weren’t allowed” to do certain things. We did ask that white People stop doing certain things because they weren’t doing them respectfully and were not invited to do them, but the primary reason we asked them to desist was to reclaim the things they had stolen and to reassign them culturally back where they belonged.
White “allies” saw these conversations happening and instead of trying to aplify our own voices or even try to learn about the complexities behind why we were saying what we were saying, they instead began screaming over us and creating a narrative that was hardly even the bones of what we originally set out to say. It was like they took the conversation we were trying to have, completely decontextualized it, and stripped it of all it’s nuance in order to gain social currency by seeming progressive.
So the conversation around cultural appropriation went from “This aspect of our heritage belongs to us and we find it egregious that we are shamed for it. What steps can we take to address the racism that’s creating this situation as well as rehome the things that have been stolen” to “you’re not allowed to do that because if you do that you’re racist, we don’t really understand why that’s racist but you’re not allowed to do that and if you do that you’re a klansman no exceptions. So you’re not allowed because because”
At the end of the day, did I like the fact that sally was wearing dreads? No. But my primary concern was not that sally was wearing dreads but rather that sally could wear dreads and I couldn’t. THAT was the intended focus of those conversations. It was about addressing the inequality. It was about us. Now the conversation is just about sally and were completely forgotten.
White People are always asking me what they can do to help. You want to know? Stop talking. Aplify our voices and shut the fuck up because you all have pretty much derailed this conversation and many more like it to the point that we no longer are trying to make steps to understand and dismantle the racism around cultural appropriation and instead are just using it as social shaming tactics.
TL;DR: read my post. Most things worth learning about can’t be summarized in the bullet points of a buzfeed article. Don’t come into academic circles and complain because everything hasn’t been conviently summarized for you. Stop pretending that things aren’t accessible to you because you refuse to do the intellectual labor that is learning.
Governments should not do war crimes. This should not be a controversial thing to say.

Fun character design I did for a D&D one-shot recently. I had a lot of fun with this one, especially the monster design on the mount.
Spinosaurus I illustrated to use as a lock screen for my phone :D Really happy with how this came out (Even if i stretched scientific accuracy a bit for the sake of a cool underwater shot)

Trying out pathfinder with some friends in a bit and I'm using the one-shots to play a character concept I've had for a bit of a stars-obsessed fawn (elf-based beastkin ranger now)
Her name is Asteremis (Aster for short) and I love her

Got a new and updated reel now that I just graduated in May!
Including some sneak peeks of my Degree Project film, Egg Thief, which should be complete in the next few weeks! So keep an eye out for that and more promotions around it!
it's been a bit so here's another unfinished rough for my upcoming oviraptor film. I think this is one of if not the most technically demanding shots in the film and i'm very happy with how the roughs are coming along. animating a short film is hard yall!
Made a comic about how weird (see: cool) humans are for a class project. I made 21 of these little bitches thinking we'd be in-person for our last class. I now have 21 of little zines and I don't know what to do with all of them.
Not final roughs. I want to add more dimension to some of the movements here. But! The first bit of actual animation for my degree project film about oviraptor! So Excited for this
