Thought better of my comment because I have actually never seen this woman’s work. But I did have a “cool girl” phase that I deeply regret.

Yesterday in my office a white middle age man started, while in the waiting room, to hold forth on “what do you expect when a man tells you to take three pills” and this “all happened so long ago, who cares”. Everyone else in the room was a woman. Some of them stared at the floor. I firmly asked him to keep his…

Judging from the jurors’ questions, I think it’s more that he didn’t “secretly” drug her, he likely lied about them being Benadryl but I can see a couple aholes who will say “she had a chance to decline the pills”. However, you can’t think in today’s terms where the whole “don’t accept pills/drinks from strangers,…

Given the number of men on the trail, I’m betting one of them has a “flexible” definition of consent.

Probably not a he- studies show women are more likely to acquit rape defendants then men

Someone always wants to play Twelve Angry Men.

I would have stabbed that bitch with her knitting needles.

When commenting on a Cosby post on this very site I was called, and I quote: “a millennial cunt bag”.

Counterpoint: the state failed to prove his guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.

This should be posted as an article unto itself.

The whole point of the article is that people ARE mad about this. The title is “this was a bad idea”. Because no one likes empty corporate gestures of support. They’re probably just trying to save money on dye anyway.

At least one of those tweets cited in the article was waaay too angry

Seriously? This is the hill we die on? What was meant to be a small token of support is turned into a point of outrage? Im sorry but the reason trump and his supporters continue to shit all over us is because we devote too much of our very limited resources to bullshit infighting in a hope to be wokest. Can we get…

who hands out the official cultural classification id cards anyways? gawker?

What research? How? WHERE?

I agree. And I think we are mostly in agreement here. I agree with the top comment that this is a well meaning can of worms. It feels right to stop companies from doing this, but trying to craft a law that wouldn’t go way too far is really tricky.

I am totally on board with the Navajo being able to stop someone from selling something as a “Navajo” product if it was not actually made by a Navajo. This makes good sense, and has plenty of precedent. (see Champagne, Tequila, Parmesan cheese, etc...)

Apparently, you are already an expert, so please enlighten us. Not everyone believes we should be reinventing the wheel every time. Although that would be culturally appropriating the Sumerians, so I can’t even invent the wheel.

I’d argue that it’s a ill-meaning can of worms. Only a rank idiot could not forsee the the problems with this entire line of thinking. Even the biggest Trump stan possesses enough foresight to see this spiral out of control.

This is pretty fucking stupid. I am an artist and have paid major homage to the First Americans of the PNW in the US in my art. That being said, misleading and misrepresentation are bad, obviously, but banning/punishing “cultural appropriation” is an absurd notion.
