Re: Can you appropriate something that's appropriative?

No.

Sort of related, but in the Monster High Fandom, there's three characters from the Exchange Students line. One is a bat girl from...I can't exactly remember, but it's the monster world variant of a South American country, but I've seen no major wank over her looks. Another is a troll girl from "Goreway" (who is a gamer btw. lolololol i love her~), and the last is a deer girl who is clearly based on Native American motifs. Her name is Isi Dawndancer. She's a deer spirit basically.



Now, I think she's a very busy doll and I wish her jump suit was actually like...just a deep blue or black as it'd make her poncho like thing pop more, but the fandom completely threw it's collective shit over her with only a few people in the tag defending her.

I'm on the fence. I think she's cute and don't exactly see what's wrong with her, though I do believe the over use of dream catchers is a bit much, but...yeah.

(i read from someone on there who is NA or NA decent that said that dream catchers isn't some major sacred thing and they make them to sell to tourists all the time, so it's not really appropriative, but i can't find that comment anymore AND i don't wanna parade that as fact, so...)

What do you guys think?

Well, I worked in a gallery for years and we bought dreamcatchers from the Native American artists who made them, for resale in our gallery. They weren't sacred objects like say, a pipe or a war bonnet (which we didn't sell for just that reason).
