these people literally have brain damage causing them to feel this way (to the somatosensory cortex). calling them fetid cunts rather than mentally ill is kinda dumb.

That's a fairly complex and specific brain disorder then and involving a very specific and consciously formulated thought. You would pretty much have to etch it into developing folds in the cortex in multiple locations at the same time.

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

It really came from 'hey you're taking one of the most sacred and important symbols from our culture and now you're a basic white bitch wearing it at a music festival just to appear exotic / fuckable and that's not cool'

And since Americans totally outnumber all the natives then in a few years wearing the headdress at a religious ceremony would appear totally cheap and stupid which is galling

I get that, it is more humiliation to go with being slaughtered etc. and it is a good thing to have some respect and maybe only denigrate a 'sacred' symbol for a meaningful political reason i.e. burning the flag

but then college kids latched on to it to be a way to be self-righteous and now white liberal college kids can be just as self-righteous as religious conservative college kids and POC college kids can be more self-righteous about everything and lord it over everyone

So now the horseshoe is complete, lefties are now as loving annoying as the baptist moral police

Even in this very charitable example there are tons of better ways of communicating this issue then harassing individual people who have been raised and conditioned to treat this symbol like a charming and harmless movie prop as if they're racist monsters.

And then this worst possible solution (whining, shaming and harassment) is applied to every symbol, concept and dish that's vaguely not-white of origin regardless if the originating culture treats it as sacred or important or appropriate to show to other cultures, so that a bunch of sheltered kids can get offended on someone else's behalf.

I dunno man people with hosed-up political beliefs are fascinating. This is fascinating stuff which is why I post about it all the time. I also post in D&D threads about people with hosed-up conservative political beliefs, because that is also fascinating.

it's really arbitrary anyway. no one loving cares when someone gets a tattoo of a yin yang without fully appreciating its deep spiritual significance. because getting upset over that would be stupid.

basic white bitches wearing bindis are guilty of being sort of lame, just like dudes with yin yang tattoos are guilty of being sort of lame. and that's it. i don't think white people acting like tasteless dorks is an act of cultural oppression. one could even argue that acting like tasteless dorks is an essential component of white culture.

Yeah but like when Ellie Goulding is making songs about nuking the planet and the halcyon days spent beforehand with reckless abandon and using a Hindi symbol that's taking advantage of ignorant people.

RE cultural appropriation: we can agree that in at least some cases, this concept is a real thing that can cause some real alienation. But, like many other legitimate social-justice concepts, it was ruined by the Internet when people who read a Wikipedia article or had a half-drunk conversation about it at a party decided that it was also cultural appropriation for a white person to speak Spanish or eat a burrito. Now the well is poisoned.

Is that site more or less stupid than xojane?

I think more after refreshing my memory by looking at xojane again. xojane kind of reminds me of the frivolity of youth -trying to get attention and have fun but ef is pretentiously insistent serious-gently caress about their lovely world view.

put another way, i would rather date someone who reads xojane than everdayfeminism because I think they would be more interesting on or off their meds, the percentage chance of a fun non-commital blowie is greater, and there exists less self-loathing.
