I think the claim that people share the same cultural practices and behaviors based on their skin color is pretty silly if not outright racist. Portuguese and Polish culture aren't the same. Neither are Nigerian and Ethiopian nor Filipino and Malaysian.

 

Hence the claim of a Pan European or African culture being a load of crock.

Exactly my point. look at the evolution of Chritmass for example. it is a hogepotch of hundreds of differing traditions.

in japan they like to eat KFC on christmas day for example.

Meanwhile on Tumblr...

 

"Cultural appropriation is bad and you should feel bad!"

It goes the other way as well, you know:



And it also runs it both directions at once:



Music is notorious for that sort of thing. Good luck in stopping it from happening.

I overlooked that. >_<

 

It's such a great vid that it deserves a second look though.

Cultural appropriation is awesome. It's like a Chinese buffet in which you can pick and choose the best bits of something foreign, except it's so assimilated and a part of you that it's more American than Chinese. Then, when you go to actual chinese, it's both familiar and new at the same time.

 

I also like how English is a language that lurks in dark alleys, beats up other languages, and rifles through their pickets for spare vocabulary before bothering to make up our own. It's the language of bad boys and girls, and that's awesome.

 

In fact, I think cultural assimilation as a whole can be pretty awesome. Screw pure-blood purity and cultural No True Scotsman fallacy tests. Culture is a crockpot, and while not everything that comes out of a crock pot is great, it only gets better when you add more better ingredients.

Thing is this isnt cilture its Heritage.

And to think, people would be celebrating Odin or Perkunas every December if not for the church.

[Dark Helmet]

Is there anything that Hugbox WON'T find "Problematic"?

 

"My mum read to me at night!"

 

"SHITLORD! YOU'RE PRIVILEGED OVER PEOPLE WHO DIDN'T GET READ TO!!!!"

 

"I actually liked that Japanese dish we tried."

 

"IMPERIALIST DOG! Stop stealing other cultures you evil pig!"

[Jstatham1227]

A little less ethnocentrism is never a bad thing.

And to think, people would be celebrating Odin or Perkunas every December if not for the church.

thing is christmas was more about revelry and celebration than Religion so i think it would be the same only it would just be the solstice instead.

That has to be the most annoying sh*t I've seen a woman do. At least she's hot.

The only multi-culturalism allowed is the one selected by me. For example Loyalty, Dignity and Honesty from China and Japan. No modern BS will be added, unless a few parts absolutely necessary to survive.

[Rorschachinstein]

I believe tumblr is dangerous. It's a bunch of idiots telling eachother they are right. There's nothing sacred about a sombrero or a kilt. Culture isn't a living breathing entity.

[Decepticon Leader Sully]

I beleve Tumblr made me so disalusioned whith mankined I gave up on it.

It's scary when people grow so radical with identity politics that they basically support segregation. "White and non-white culture shouldn't mix!" "Women and men should use separate but equal public transportation!" Really, I'm starting to think Tumblr is actually a conservative site in disguise.

I've been shocked so many times by just how stupid some people on tumblr are it makes my stomach hurt.

 

Example. This. This piece of garbage had me debate just about a every harpie on tumblr. As a guy that does MMA, even fighting a guy that's only 10lb's heavier can make it more difficult let alone a man and woman. Garbage like this is absolute poison. They play around with stuff they don't understand.

Spoiler

Divorce yourself from this idea right now, author. While I’m sure it is the narrative you’ve been presented with your entire life, I’m here to tell you that it isn’t true. Women do find building up muscles in the upper body more difficult than men, but since power does not come from the arms, it’s actually a superfluous distinction. Women build up muscles in the lower body and in the core muscles (abdominal) very rapidly.

Skill in combat is not a matter of biology, but in training and dedication. Remember, if your female character fights, she’s neither unique nor special. In my experience as a martial artist and a martial arts instructor, there are on average per class 2 girls to every 10 boys, with the female number either remaining constant or doubling as the class goes up in age. While there are fewer female combatants around than male, it’s not hard to find 20 women to every 100 men. Extrapolate that out and think about it, women who fight are not as rare as you might have previously imagined.

Here are a few things to consider:

1) Power comes from the hips.

I will harp on this until the end of time until everyone shakes the myth of punch strength being decided by arm muscle strength out of their heads. The strength of the strike comes from the pivot of the hips and guess what? Women have wider hips than men, thus a greater opportunity to generate more power and hit their opponents harder. Combine this advantage with a low-center of gravity and the ability to push that center even lower and you have a fighter capable, not just in power, but able to topple much larger opponents.

2) Women have a lower center of gravity.

This is the advantage of the short fighter, it’s the same for short men and short women, a tall woman fighting a shorter woman will encounter the same resistance as a tall man fighting a short one. I list this as a female advantage because most women will always find themselves facing larger opponents. So, it’s important for an author to keep in mind.

So, how does this work? A center of gravity is the height difference from the ground to your core, around the belly button. The shorter the fighter, the lower their center of gravity, the lower the center of gravity the closer they are to the earth, the closer they are to the earth the better their ability to generate a stable base and the harder they are to knock over. A fighter who knows where to put their feet and weight to make use of their center is a hard one to take to the ground. This is one way for women to overcome the height and weight disadvantage.

3) Women are naturally more resistant to pain and fatigue than men, have a greater potential for stamina, and can fight harder for longer.

It’s important to note: it’s not just that men cannot biologically carry a child to term and survive the birth, but if they did with their current make-up, they would die. So, you may call it the miracle of childbirth, but a woman’s body is gifted with a much greater level of resilience than their male counterparts. While these abilities must be honed and improved through training, the natural talent is already present in every woman’s body.

4) The only combatants who ever actively terrified me were women.

I’ve met a great many master martial artists from a great many different styles, all of whom I deeply respect, and can trust in their ability to utterly annihilate me. But the female black belt sparring division, my first thought on encountering those women as a teenager was: “I want to spar with the boys.”

Women live in a very different world than men do, they live in a world that is comprised of dangers even in places that are supposed to be safe. A woman cannot walk down a street alone, never mind if it’s at night, without wondering if an attack will happen. Rape and other acts of violence are very real, every day threats, and women live with the knowledge that the places they have been told to go to for protection will disregard them, laugh at them, and judge them on their worth for “allowing” these acts to happen to them. Every woman, even the ones like me who began at a young age, will eventually be faced with the realization that they may have to use what they know against another person one day. This is not fantasy assessment full of wishful thinking, but a cold reality. What if one day I have to hurt someone else? What if one day I have to kill them? The women who practice and prepare through forms of combat do so with that in mind, with the knowledge that they are the underdogs and that one day, they may have to use that training to fight for their lives.

The ferocity with which they beat on each other in sparring matches is a reflection of that. Remember, these are women who have shaken off the socially ingrained idea of ’I can’t hurt anyone’ and moved on to ’I will break you if you hurt me’. They follow that up with: you will never walk right again.

Unless your character comes from a very different society, this attitude will be part of who they are. Women who are trained and dedicated have the capacity to be terrifying, especially in a patriarchal society. Why? It’s not the behavior that most men expect.

 

It would take an hour to explain everything that is wrong with this horrible post.

Eh. You work hard enough, and you can rationalize just about anything in the name of ideology. With a little sophistry and emotional appeals and buzzwords, and anything can be made a moral imperative.

 

Me? I like how many meanings there are for 'equality,' and how some people throw around the word 'oppression.'
