Balletomanes and actual ballerinas were quite steamed about what they viewed as “appropriation;”

Can you even appropriate something like “ballet culture?” It’s something a lot of little American and European girls are familiar with and is pretty entrenched in (white, middle class) imaginations. It’s a mainstream thing.

I mean... “literally SO offensive.” lol no. No, it wasn’t. She was doing what many, many models before her have done! But she has a target on her back because she’s a Jennerashian. I think it’s a bigger insult to modeling. Like, wtf are you even modeling?

The things that people get worked up over, fucking hell. 

Appropriation?!

First off, glad that this is an appropriation controversy that isn’t racial in nature. That said, the word is in serious danger of becoming a joke. Models play dress-up all the time. They shouldn’t go so far as to pretend to be African natives but posing as a ballerina is not going to damage the art form.

I never realized ballerinas could be such pussies.

So. Many. Chins.

Madonna was always a performance artist first and foremost, though. Larger-than-life, ahead of her time. She could go naked (and has done so) and still outshine everyone. Gaga has always appeared as though she was putting on a figurative suit of an outlandish larger-than-life performer while wearing literal (meat)…

Tolerance of it in entertainment, is not the same as tolerance in society in general.

I don’t think that rule works.

You can kinda judge the event organisers, because it’s dumb.

But if there’s any skin showing, it’s a girl!

It’s easy, if you see an attractive character with amazing hair, he’s male.

Ironic considering that I can’t tell most Final Fantasy men from the women.

I guess it’s good pop culture, especially Japanese pop culture, isn’t rife with gender bending characters that do away with the gender binary anyway.

It’s hard for me to feel sorry for people who are protesting their right to treat workers like indentured servants, and offensive that they are invoking the “women business owners” bit.
