I was refering to Australian Aboriginal culture because that was the subject that was being discussed. Also, the term "Aboriginal" is widely used to reference Australian Indigenous people specifically.
Really? You agree with ''Their religious beliefs are wrong and silly, one does not need to deign to treat them with respect. What privileges them over any other symbol."
Yes. It runs much deeper than art plagiarism, unfortunately.
I'm a vanilla milkshake fan, but when I was a kid, I once hid from my family in anger after my brother ate all the chocolate icecream... So I can safely say that that means something.
But without icecream, milkshakes are nothing! And chocolate-rum/Baileys icecream exists, fool!
An asshole's (or stuck-in-the-50's grandparents) view of women: Never fucking good enough, but too "good" to not give up trying.
I get what you're saying, you capitalist (no, I kid, I kid).
Like BlondeGoddess mentioned, hand paintings are apart of Aboriginal culture. I can understand if a similar hand design was used in a different collection, but they were used here, so there's a different context.
On your first point - I do agree pragmatically, that different cultures symbols don't have to be revered by everyone to be respected, but I think there's an interesting power dynamic with cultural appropriation.
"Claims of cultural ownership are damned important when that culture has managed to survive attempts to completely eradicate and assimilate it — it's not over-sensitivity to want there to be some acknowledgement of the effort artists must go through to keep this kind of art alive."
Are you implying that tribal symbols are less valid than religious ones?
Somebody help that kitten.
Especially since most "chocolate" cereal I see is that low-fat bullshit wimmenz ceral that is marketed as an "indulgence".
When I was in Year 5, there was a girl in my class who disliked chocolate. We found out after her friend told everyone about her B-day party, where they had to get 'no chocolate' girl a seperate vanilla cake.
Buh Wuh?
