whoa

fire emblem pegasus knight uniforms are actually just EXTREMELY passionate sailor moon cosplays,

ALSO i would like to express my love for squirrelflight warrior cats, who has done nothing wrong, ever

also imo most calarts style discourse is like a cinemasins-esque level of pedantry/missing the point and i’m frankly shocked it’s even apparently worth criticism

can somebody tell [mostly male] nsfw artists that wearing bright blue eyshadow and red lipstick doesn’t make a character a milf, and also that no normal person wears bright blue eyeshadow and red lipstick casually thanks

hot take the new thundercats isn’t “”“”“calarts style”“”“” or whatever it’s actually the style of all those warrior cats adoptable artists from like 2014 era deviantart, and all you unsophisticated FOOLS don’t know the difference

i really like nowi/tharja/camilla but liking them sucks, like it’d be real nice if both the writers and the majority of fans would treat them as more than their sexuality or perceived sexuality

there is MAYBE nothing more entertaining than the pages and pages of gypsy vanner/irish cob discourse threads in various equestrian forums

listen I don’t really know much about fallout or fallout: equestria but it’s really fucking funny how the latter manages to completely eschew the mood of both of its source materials by being WHOOOOAAA DARK AND EDGY THE BRUTALITY OF THE POST APOCALYPSE when. from what I’ve seen fallout is just dick jokes interspersed with some guns SOMETIMES and maybe also clipping through the floor

hey, so I’ve heard a lot of argument against claims of cases of cultural appropriation in the united states by people who point at the source culture and say “they don’t care, so why does it matter?”

what this doesn’t address is that the people who are usually talking about cultural appropriation in the us are usually american born poc; people who struggle with their identities as both american and non-american, and people whose cultures have historically been mocked or erased by people in power

so it stands that people who don’t have the same context (ie people who live in another country) won’t have the same ideas about how their culture is treated in the united states. basically this isn’t solely an issue of “who does this offend or not”; it’s an issue of complicated power dynamics that are rooted in the whole idea of “american-ness”

that being said, line between cultural appropriation and cultural appreciation can get very grey, and the idea of cultural separation is at best a faulty one, but the basic point I’m making here is that: cultural issues are not at all simple, and it’s important to factor different contexts and experiences into your thinking. i’d go as far as to say that there is no single “right” answer because this isn’t a singular question or issue to begin with
