ughghh. next up: kids, stop running, because the first running humans weren’t Christian and who knows what depraved stuff they were into worshiping.

thanks for clarifying! i understand they might all be annoying people, but (as someone who uses statistics a lot), and as you said, i think it isn’t always fair to generalize from such a small sample size.

like actually jezebel, all of your articles filed under “namaste” are white people things, and why on earth is this article filed under “zen”?!!! when the author literally never uses the word “zen” in this article?

sorry to load on you, but i’d like to live under the delusion that the author or someone at jezebel looks at these comments. imho the title of this article is an excellent example of why intersectional feminism exists.

as far as free speech: just because i have the freedom to walk down the street calling every POC i see the n word, that doesn’t mean i *should* do it. i never said that the author isn’t allowed to title her piece this way because obvs she is. the point is that she’s being offensive to certain parts of the population…

i’m sorry someone compared you to a monkey, that was really shitty of them. but you didn’t deserve that, so unless you’re afraid for your physical safety, why would you advocate putting up with it?

the title is quite appropriative of indian culture, actually...tbh i read this article for the opposite reason, mainly bile fascination for what something with such a shitty title could actually be about

would be great if you could differentiate between “new age cults” and “buddhists” because one is appropriation and one is actual culture thanks

omg thank you so much i’ve been wondering why nobody else has commented on this. <3 <3 <3

I don’t think it’s awesome. The phrase “namaste, c*ntface” is pretty offensive to indians actually

i don’t think i’ve ever read an article with a title i hated as much as this one. misogyny, appropriation, exoticism, petty passive aggression all in one
