That once again shows that the american concept of white vs nonwhite is extremely simplified and just doesn't work in other parts of the world. Like how people with even minor territorial and national differences can have very complicated relationships (just look, for example, at how many asian nations dislike each other, despite modern collectivists thinking of people of the same category as a massive conglomerate with the same worldview), or how slavery (aka serfdom) in Europe existed for way longer than in America, but you can't point fingers and blame people for oppressing your ancestors because you both are the same colour. In general, this whole tendency of americanizing the world's history and culture and butting into issues you're completely ignorant about is pretty disturbing to me. Nothing exemplifies it more than them claiming that "white people have no culture". Maybe if are you ignoring the entire continent of Europe and multitudes of countries each with unique customs, languages, cuisine, art and architecture just to make yourself sound cool and interesting, or are you actually so ignorant that nothing and no one exists outside your own country? And not only that, literally everyone has a culture, unless you live alone in an empty room, even those pesky murican whiteys whose culture is so prevalent to you that you now consider it a default setting without even thinking about it. I know I sound a bitWell, slavs are POC now, or so I've heard. Can be used as de jure work-around.
What's funny is the "white people have no culture" thing, even if you assume they mean white Americans, is still racist anyway because it puts white American cultural norms as the "default" setting of humanity while otherlng literally every other culture. Literally every human alive has a culture, that's how it works. American culture doesn't stop existing just because you're so entrenched in it you think it's the norm for humanity lmao.That once again shows that the american concept of white vs nonwhite is extremely simplified and just doesn't work in other parts of the world.

I know I sound a bit, but honestly the widespread narcissism and willful ignorance grinds my gears so much. Try to at least glance at a world history book before opening your mouth, thankfully that rectangular mirror that you use to bark out platitudes at strangers on twatter can easily provide you one, if you actually bother to look.
She wasn't always a petty bitch, but I forgot to add it on the original post before adding it in. Pretty sure she was also orginally worshipped as the godness of war and/or seafaring along with love, which further complicates manners before it got removed later down the road to be only known as the love god.Actually little more complicated because myths have long canons that change depending on time and place. Most myths have multiple versions that portray gods different levels of righteousness and what values were seen good at time. Aphrodite could be jealous and petty just like other gods, but that didn't mean they weren't better than people and looked up for who they were. In greek most gods were specialized to a place or job. That ment that most people didn't worship most gods, but Aphrodite was one of the most commonly worshiped gods. Most people enjoy and desire love and beauty so most people did look her for guidance and blessings. She was most certainly seen as embodiment wonders of love and it's positive sides, not just a petty bitch using and abusing men.
But becouse greek myths tend portray gods a soap opera cast with super powers, Aphrodite didn't escape it and naturally when she acts up that's the interesting plot development to us who don't worship these gods.
And now DisneyLand/Magic Kingdom is changing their Song of the South logflume ride (Splash Mountain) to remove the Song of the South themes for 'being controversial'. Despite that there no way to tell that, it has been like that, and it fits the theme of the area (Critter Country), Uncle Remus is nowwhere to be found, and its just Briar Rabbit having an adventure throughout the whole ride with other animals. What's replacing Song of the South? Princess and the Frog.Well Song of the south has the animal characters that are pretty popular in Europe and they are black fairy tales characters. Disney based that movie on fairy tales told slaves and you can find that many of these stories have African versions. The slaves just changed the animals and other creatures to ones they were around in the new world. Disney had grown up with a collection of these stories and he wanted to show these stories to new kids that might not know about the old black culture and how fun it could be. Witch was pretty awesomely progressive for it's time.
Yes, I do see how absurd it is. And, honestly, I don't think this flies even in US. Said POC are way too conservative to accept somebody who looks white into their metaphorycal circle.mucho texto
“We will only be strictly monitoring contributors to ensure that Aphrodite is not whitewashed and for any other racist depictions”Still not sjw art per se, but tired of zines creating problems where there shouldn't be to make their monthly woke quota. Like stfu she's white. Now let's get ready for 50 pages of blackwashed hades characters, as it wasn't already a problem in the community

Jfc these faces though.
On paper the "wear whatever the hell you want" idea doesn't sound bad. It doesn't affect me in the slightest. But my god, these people do NOT know how to put together a good, flattering outfit. This isn't even "quirky tumblr teen" fashion, it's "dementia-ridden grandma's been shopping at goodwill again" fashion.
Now we getting the true araki experience!Same face syndrome to the max
I blame Netflix
Neil Gaiman did that with Anansi Boys, and he has Anansi and other African folk gods show up in a few of his stories. How do they feel about him?I want so badly for some super-white shitlord to make a genuine African fairy tale popular, so SJWs' brains implode trying to figure out whether or not to cancel it for cultural appropriation or praise it for actually having black characters.
“really trans” I thought sjw trans ideology was that there was no way to be more trans than anyone else? Or are they clarifying he isn’t a trenderOH GOD have mercy
Why does Bruno look like Jirou from bnha?I dunno why I didn't post these two also, they're just as bad.
