I was actually with him and had no problem with his approach until this:

“I’m not here to troll”, said the troll, trolling, immediately after several previous troll posts.

Oh you’re back. Yaaaaay

Yea you’re right you should go back to the times. Ta ta, adios, tudalu, we won’t miss you. 👋🏼

The Vulture excerpt totally confirmed my suspicion that Ryan Adams is a real asshole.

The only thing Gideon Yago is burning these days are latte’s when it’s rush hour at coffee bean

Cultural appropriation is a continuation of colonization.

Alright. Here is the common thread: White people steal the culture and art of racialized communities and make money off it while gaining critical acclaim for cultural practices that white people punished and forbade in the recent past.

Oh ffs. Nobody is saying you can’t write whatever the fuck you want about whatever the fuck you want. Although, somewhere along the way the writer’s mantra of “Write what you know” seems to have been lost.

I swear I’m a broken record- some things do not belong to euro-Canadians. By all means, read Money Beach and The Inconvenient Indian, buy from Beyond Buckskin. Hell, familiarize yourself with the TRC recommendations. Having said that, don’t presume to speak for us. Don’t presume to know our experiences and good…

It also seems more than a little disingenuous. They care so little about cultural appropriation that they will (ostensibly) read an article about it and then write a comment. Sure.

Look, people can culturally appropriate all they want. It is shitty and poor practice but no one is making it illegal. But so too can people talk about how shitty it is and refuse to buy or support those people.

This doesn’t make any sense. And cultural appropriation is a deeply troublesome form of injustice.

Thank you, Stassa. As an Indigenous person just starting back out in the world of writing and academia, it was difficult for me to explain why this is all so maddening.

“Hal Niedzveicki (a former Write editor) stridently defends the practice of cultural appropriation: “In my opinion, anyone, anywhere, should be encouraged to imagine other peoples, other cultures, other identities.”

Is anyone else just completely fucking disgusted by the post in regards to his half-asian baby and how his white nationalist friends just love her to bits? Like, how fucking low of a person do you need to be to use your own offspring as ammunition in your racist rhetoric?

Which will it be next?? My money is on both.
