Re: Writing question / mythology question

[(Anonymous)]

If vampires were a problem for anyone, we would've heard the uproar a long time ago.

Re: Writing question / mythology question

Unless people just didn't consider it. If I were a writer, I'd be worried about tumblr catching on to the appropriation of eastern european figures and a new backlash breaking out against it. Tumblr has lost it's shit and gone after things less problematic.

Re: Writing question / mythology question

If I were a published writer, especially one major enough to be "heard about" in the first place - I don't think tumblr would be on my list of worries.

I mean, I agree, by all means people should be culturally sensitive. But you don't need to pretend some criticism isn't batshit for the sake of humoring batshit teenage girls. Vampires have long been a part of pop culture, they are only folklore and not religious, and have old and widespread roots. No one "owns" vampires.

It'd be one thing to use a modern religious figure that had sacred significance- though I don't think even that is necessarily "off-limits" but yeah you probably should be more cautious and sensitive.

It is dumb to be outraged about vampires being appropriated and I don't care what tumblr says about it.

I agree.

I am yet to meet an Eastern European ho gives a shit about ~cultural appropriation~. Though I'm sure you can find everything on tumblr.

I used to say that about black people. I'd never heard of a single black person who cared about cultural appropriation... Then I saw that video. There are small minded fuckers of every race.

Re: Writing question / mythology question

Tumblr won't care. In their eyes, European = white = can't be appropriated from.

Also, vampire myths exist across a wide variety of cultures.

Vampires are also nearly universal. Hell, there's vampires in Mesoamerican culture.
