is it only when a group of people are vocal about how they feel about there culture being appropriated? What about the things that are perpetuating stereotypes and no one talks about

For example take Super Mario, an Italian plumber

With a handlebar mustache and a goofy manner of speaking

Japanese company Nintendo created the character and is profiting in the billions of dollars off a stereotype of an Italian-American and no one is vocal about it

Let's look at the news recently:
cnn.com/style/article/mahjong-tiles-cultural-appropriation-intl-hnk-scli-dst/index.html

an American mahjong company sparks controversy because they made their own designs on mahjong tiles and said it was a new refresh on American-mahjong

However there bored was based on American-Mahjong which is derived from Chinese-Mahjong (different rules) is it possible to categorize the two differently?

A similar comparison - chess

How come there is no particular group claiming chess is there game and everyone is profiting of it

It had to originate someware right?

Now it is a popular game on Twitch and egirls are getting donations for playing chess (s/o Alexandra Botez)

What happened to sharing cultures is it not meant to be shared? However if the originator is not credited then it is considered appropriation right - but hasn't someone said no idea is original it never what you do bot how it's done

Are we just being selective about which cultures are deemed appropriated or are there more layers as to what can be considered offensive and cultural appropriation?

Also there is a Super Mario chess board
If there were any groups claiming it to be offensive and appropriating Italian and whichever culture Chess came from this would be hyper cultural appropriation right lolz

All I know is Mario a goat he’s above that getting cancelled s***.

My man Mario just want to be a plumber and these goofies got him being racoons, doctors, papers, tennis stars and s***

this is such a easy topic and people make it more complex than it is

So answer it if it is indeed easy peasy where do we draw the lin

cnn.com/style/article/fox-eye-trend-asian-cultural-appropriation-trnd/index.html

The fox eye pose is considered racist because slanted eye ppl are bullied for it but isn't this pose just normalizing it? Ppl with that eye shape can take pride that ppl want to look like them

There's like this tape thats lifts ur face thats been a trend that ppl do to make there eyes slanted to lolz

when it comes to issues like this....its depends on what the general population of the population thinks. not a small population of that population

In my opinion, this is not sum thing I would care about

made me think of this dumb b****

Theres no line to draw tho. Cultural appropriation should be welcomed. It's natural and its how humans culturally evolve.

If you have a problem with racially charged characters like Mario then thats a separate thing entirely

Are you calling S a cultural appropriator?

It's funny cause S indeed just views this site as a source of income but what particular culture is he appropriating there's all types of culture on here it's a culture hub

Were probably not going to see all cultures appropriated without issue melting pot style in our lifetime - it will happen eventually tho

Quote him and stop being a b****.

Bro shut up @S doesn't even belong to him anymore

It would require a lot more growth and instant transportation. More growth is impossible in a few years time but instant transportation is already being done through the internet. Which makes me wonder if people actually gave much of a f*** about cultural appropriation before the internet? Surely some did

people didn't have the platform to have there voice heard before so idk

like who knows if whoever came up with basic math got upset because someone decided to discover calculus using there research

Most of the time it's harmless or even positive, people have shared culture throughout history. Maybe the line could be drawn if someone is making money off a culture after/while being disrespectful to it, and if they aren't I don't see why it would be an issue.

There's folk that always love seeing their culture make rare appearances in popular media

Weirdo ass americans got heated over this funny mouse being the most stereotypical mexican in a cartoon while actual mexican foos were getting it tatted on their body

then decades later some SJW's were giving Nintendo s*** for making a whole level based on Mexican culture what's up with these people trying to get offended on behalf of people they don't represent.
There's also Pixar starting a Dia De Los Muertos movie with no hispanics on board, and they still delivered us a beauty of a Mexican movie

So what I'm getting at is that people like seeing a wholesome representation of what they're uniquely familiar with, on some "haha he's the same as me!" s***. I'm sure italians are fine with Mario Bros. because they know damn well people don't actually think all italians conversate through "Mama Mia! Spaghetti! Let's-A-Go" and rescue Princesses from beasts. Mario doesn't have to be Italian either, he actually had a Brooklyn accent in the cartoon before Mario 64 lol. Maybe if Nintendo made a whole franchise off an Italian chef with offensive features fighting the mafia, eating italian dishes, and doing that one hand sign for anything, then people would be like wtf. I know lots of black folk were unhappy with cartoons always representing African-American kids as either sidekicks or their personalities just being "hip" as f***.

I feel like culture appropriation is just taking s*** thats established in other cultures and not implementing it in a way that represents the love for its history. Post Malone got accused of that s*** because he came into rap and not rapping while being white and rocking a braids+grills combo that come from street culture, a lifestyle he doesn't come from. Natives are a famous example because they spend their lives committed to their culture just for randoms to wear their s*** without knowing anything or living what they live.

I’m Mexican and I love that Mexican influenced world in Super Mario Odyssey

S*** is fire af

Wario is a racist German caricature

Yeah my parents literally do this every time our country gets referenced and they would love it if more restaurants made our food

The more I think about it, the less comfortable I am with the idea of “cultural appropriation” being the default response to people sharing and using aspects of other cultures. I feel like that’s a bad road to go down. As long as it’s respectful like you said, I think it should be broadly accepted (and I think that it is accepted now, but there’s a vocal minority who cry cultural appropriation at everything).

Feel like there's a line between culture appreciation and culture appropriation. But nowadays that line is getting extremely blurred, making it harder to judge. Especially with social media and the way they handle things.

Like is wu tang culture appropriation or is boba tea trap house culture appropriation.

The girl in that video said she went to the place thinking it was black owned, but found out that it wasnt and that the Asian owned businesses was appropriating black culture, but isn't this line of thinking also hypocritical cause she was essentially looking for a black owned businesses that would of been profiting off of asian culture. Would that be consider appropation or appreciation.

I think it has a lot to do with the respect one shows the culture and the context behind it. Like beyonce with black is king is walking a thin line because although she showing respect she did it in a way that is out context and merge mutiple african cultures that have no business being merged for aesthetics. Therefore not being very respectful to the cultures. But then you also have Mario which isnt really a respectful depiction of italian culture but I haven't seen much Italians say its appropriation. The whole thing is very nuanced tbh

9 out of 10 times its a non issue and people just b****ing for the sake of it

idk really what to say about this but playing a board game doesnt sound like appropriation to me

there bored

Just dont be disrespectful, exploitative and overly sensitive and you’ll be happy and set
