ITT: your spirit animal

[TuralyonW3]

FWIW I know a couple of Native Americans who things it's pretty ignorant and gross when white people joke about their stupid spirit animals.

There's no escaping cultural appropriation

[TuralyonW3]

I've come to terms with the fact that I actually don't care at all if stupid white girls wear feathered headdresses at Coachella because they think they look cool. Why the fuck should Native Americans really care?

[redbreegull]

the raccoon is my spirit animal I'm sorry if that is offensive but the idea seems pretty vague to belong to a single culture

[TuralyonW3]

kind of like dreadlocks

[redbreegull]

the concept of a "spirit animal" is not unique to native american cultures though

[TuralyonW3]

you don't have to convince me though. spirits don't fucking exist as far as I know

[redbreegull]

the celts have a conception of totem animals as well

[redbreegull]

I'm sure many other cultures do too but whatever I'm not concerned about it, the raccoon spoke to me so

not even remotely, its unique to human culture. in fact, its a pretty standard "pagan" religious belief throughout the world & history

but he googled something rq so he won the argument i think because after all SPIRITS ARE DUMB (which is somehow not insulting to spiritual people, idk i have trouble keeping up with liberals cherrypicked PC-of-convenience)

ScarJo is not playing a person of a different race int he film, but I know you don't care about the details Mr. outrage culture

also I made it clear that i personally don't really give a fuck about spirit animals

[Trotskilicious]

i see, i'm mr. outrage culture for thinking its gross to cast a blonde white woman in an asian role but mr. spirit animals are anti native american is different

[Trotskilicious]

its outrage culture if it effects your ability to feign geek cred at the office, i guess

[TuralyonW3]

in. this. live. action. film. it. is. not. an. asian. role.

[Trotskilicious]

it is too, her name is motoko kusanagi and she's a major in the japanese military

if thats not the movie then why is it ghost in the shell? why do they even make her look as much like the major as possible?

[Trotskilicious]

have you even seen ghost in the shell the anime

[TuralyonW3]

her name in the movie is Mira Killian you fuck

if you read my post in the other thread you'd already see that I acknowledged any alleged white-washing happened in the scripting/pre-production process when they decided to CHANGE THE STORY SIGNIFICANTLY FROM THE MANGA AND ANIME

[Trotskilicious]

i mean i know you wanna stroke your scarjo boner & thats fine don't try to come in here defending native americans tho

her name is motoko kusanagi, they can change the name around to justify the white casting all they want

the fact that you think this is a counterpoint is fucking pathetic
