I'd rather react like a little whiny baby and throw a tantrum the moment anyone suggests that maybe something in some media could change so more people enjoy it. Hell i'll do the same thing even if a creator ever makes a change to their own work because that's obviously a sign of a overarching conspiracy.

Cultural appropriation is the dumbest concept that SJWs have come up with yet, specially considering 99.9% of them are in America, a land built on cultural assimilation and tolerance

The concept is inherently racist. It's the fundamental idea that people can't enjoy parts of other cultures. It's pretty much KKK shaming of people for enjoying or celebrating other cultures.

Yeah that boiling point argument is some bullshit to perpetuate ignorance though. How many years have people been antagonizing culture without a violent reaction, and doing this hand waving "look at me I'm an idiot please kick my rear end" routine to get a reaction. But someday it's gonna be different than the last 10,000 days.

I agree lets use twitter as a bullying plateform until Joss Whedon/Lena Dunham an whoever else makes every piece of culture into intersectional feminist propaganda.

Because obviously a society that communicates through a filter of your comforts is a lesser to a community that simply communicates.

can someone explain what cultural appropriation is and why I now must feel bad about liking things from other cultures?

It's mostly meant to refer to the phenomenon where society largely shits on things specific to minority culture and considers them low class/primitive/unprofessional/etc up until such a point where a famous white person embraces thing then suddenly white people like it and treat it as a fad. What was once something that got minority groups harassed or looked down on is now being mimicked in white pop culture and is now acceptable, you often see the white people who first picked up the trend heralded as revolutionary or w/e, a good example is white rap like when everyone went "oh man macklemore actually raps about important stuff rather than guns/bitches/drugs" (a mentality even he hates).

The backlash is a mixture of resentment over how it was considered bad when minorities did it but now good when white people do it (so they want to make it 'bad' when white people do it) and for some of the things with deeper cultural significance it also can feel like your heritage being commercialized, boxed, and sold, is offensive. The fact that the people who tend to profit from this sorta stuff are white people rather than the minority groups actually responsible for the thing is also an issue.

I can empathize with the issue I guess but I feel many examples of it are mostly people getting mad at the symptoms rather than tackling the problem itself.

The "backlash" is in your head because you've obviously never been to a real party or been in a culturally mixed social environment. The "backlash" is the police's excuse to get away with anonymously murdering outspoken proponents of culture.

The only time I can see cultural appropriation being a valid thing is when the outsiders' interpretation is so popular that it changes the nature of that culture, against the will of its original followers.

On a broad level it happens yeah as indicated by the articles you see every so often but if you mean some black people are going to berate you for twerking at a party then of course that doesn't happen. It's a subject discussed by academics because it is a symptom of racial inequality in society and helps perpetuate the feeling of exclusion.

Weirdly enough there's a mix of this and the race traitor sentiment within the more militant sjw circles, going so far as saying that whites and minorities shouldn't intermingle/interbreed since the kids would be assimilated and barred from their culture. Even though they'd be half white so... :shrug:

Generations after generation of racists complaining about black/foreign cultures corrupting the white protestant culture to end up with someone telling you cultural appropriation and xenophilia is bad and cultural segregation is good. Now excuse me i need to go watch some pictures of notorious cultural thieves Pablo Picasso and Van Gogh.
