UGH, apparently cultural appropriation is in this year at Rue21. I mean really, the faux Navajo patterning is bad enough, but a white woman in a war bonnet WITH THE US FLAG PAINTED ON HER FACE?! Fucking gross.

Good Old Fashioned Appropriation

In RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 (thank you Steam for bringing this game into my life), they allow you to build shops that sell "Indian Feathers."

...

I can assure you that my park-goers will not be partaking. All of the guests who purchased one before I could destroy them in the campaign mode, consider yourself judged.

I was giving my cousin a ride home, and we got to talking about tattoos. He said the first thing he wanted was two wolves, and he started going "It's from this Cherokee proverb - " and I cut him off like "OH HELL NO IT IS NOT."

Pictures by JNESS. "Princess collection."

If you make art that appropriates cultures featuring plus size women, you defeat the purpose of adipositivity and body love. These pictures that are supposed to celebrate curviness are based on stereotypes. The hypersexualization of culture is not the right way to undo the desexualization of women of color and size.

I just sent an ask in to 'this-is-not-native'. That's totally going to bite me in the ass. Probably. Oh well. Life goes on.
