Fortunately dropping deuces is still okay.

it needs to stop

I think a lot of liberals really don't understand that issues like native american appropriation are just not necessarily the same thing across all cultures. Like, native american headdresses are sacred, but geishas and kimono? Not so much. Just as foreign to your average Japanese person as your average American.

It's not for you to decide what you're supposed to be offended by. That's the job of white liberals in their 20's who studied your culture in college. They are the true authorities on appropriate race relations.

Yes, white women, please tell me more about how other white people are doing things with other cultures that neither of you are a part of, and that's like, icky and racisty n' stuff.

As an Asian-American person who knows a lot of other Asian-American peeps, can I just sayyyyy that I'm pretty sure NONE OF US were offended by Katy Perry's "geisha" costume? At worst, it looked stupid because she mixed several different cultures together willy-nilly. At best, it was really cute.

Am I still the only person who doesn't look at the grey-and-white mummies with big butts and stylized Eqyptian wigs and think "THESE ARE CLEARLY BLACK WOMEN - JUST LOOK AT THOSE BUTTS AND HOOP EARRINGS! DIRTY RACIST."? There are so many other things we can take issue with in the music industry, and with Katy Perry,…

Maybe I'm just a bad liberal on this, but "cultural appropriation" criticisms are typically bullshit. Why can't someone be inspired by other cultures and use it to influence their own art?

I'm having visions of Sarah Newlin (Noomi) being taken by the Yakuza and hooked up to some kind of cybernetic blood-milking machine where they end up making 'New(lin) True Blood' as an over the counter cure for vamps.

"Well, looks like I'm next."

"Will Violet bite Jason's dick off?"

Nope and she'll die soon as she's a voice of reason. The pup/shifter/baby/whatever will live but she will not. The most we can hope for is that baby shifts out of the mom and kills her from the inside as this is True Blood Town.

is anyone actually emotionally invested in sam and his wife? at least personally, i completely forget about them until they're on screen and being annoying and then i just go back to imagining naked mountaintop eric again

Well alright, if it's not due to negative attitudes towards women, why do YOU think some men choose to harass women?

You're right. We do enjoy returning because we refuse to quit enjoying our favorite hobbies and interests just because to a fair portion of the 130k that went when I did last year might think cosplay = free-for-all groping and harassment. Nobody is saying that the problem is with the convention itself, but that it is…

Yeah, your post still looks like word salad to me. Did you actually think you needed to explain to us that not every. single. guy at these conventions harasses women? Like, that deserved a whole post?

I'm not going to lie it was difficult to actually extract meaning from this block of text. I'm still not sure if I know what your point is, other than the (so obvious it hardly warrants mentioning let alone multiple paragraphs) fact that not all men grope at these cons.

No one respond.
