Re: Appropriation
(Anonymous) 2013-03-24 01:29 am (UTC)(link)and then they divide the cultures because everyone's too fucking afraid to discover or learn about others because "APPROPRIATION"
i,e the stupid Harlem Shake is appropriation. I don't think anyone seriously thinks ~white males~ created the Harlem Shake or associate it with ?Harlem? '9hell after watching the video I'm not any more knowledgeable on what it's mean to be "appropriating". It's just a silly video that got loads of views for being silly.
I'm glad RL is a little more sensible, I imagine tumblr will go all ARGH APPROPRIATION if they saw me wearing a scarf or buying imported asian foods.
fuck you, that culture is sharing its food with me I am going to fucking eat it.
Re: Appropriation
For the record, I think we're giving tumblr too much credit here. I'm worried about tumblr scaring the portion of geeky kids who pay attention to tumblr away from neat stuff. Tumblr can affect people who pay attention to tumblr.
Meanwhile the world spins on, wearing whatever the fuck they want to wear and listening to whatever the fuck they want to listen to and making whatever the fuck music they like, while tumblr shoves itself further into its own navel.
You know, maybe tumblr is a good thing. The tumblr kids are so obsessed with tumblr that they don't seem to write a damn thing anywhere else. They're really easy to ignore.
Re: Appropriation
(Anonymous) 2013-03-24 10:07 am (UTC)(link)oh yeah my feelings on the matter are totally split depending on if it's online or IRL, but I rather dislikes the nervous anticipation I now have about wearing some things IRL, simply because I've seen 30k tumblr posts about how this and that is appropriation.
Like logically I know that tumblr is a teeny world mostly filled with american kids and therefore really not worth attention IRL, but it still niggles it's way it and damn does it make me angry.
Especially since half the trim appropriation just seems to be "enjoying or liking something that is apparently or supposed to be stereotypically X minority in America"
Re: Appropriation
(Anonymous) 2013-03-24 05:13 am (UTC)(link)Basically its just another way to divide and separate people.
Re: Appropriation
(Anonymous) 2013-03-24 10:18 am (UTC)(link)It's called "Harlem Shake" BECAUSE OF THE SONG BEING USED IN THE VIDEOS.
THAT
IS
IT.
No one is actually conflating it with Harlem!
