[quote]we can identify as anything,[/quote]
is not really a thing, tho many agitated peopel seem to be thinking it is, and making shlt up about it
NO there are no kids identifying as cats an getting cat boxes in the school all bull sh1t
[b]cultural appropriation [/b] is a thing, but it is more nuanced than that
don't let the fever of teenagers on social media affect you so much
do not let the outrage of old white christians on social media affect you so much

@SatyrService Well I come from neither of those groups. But, I can identify as one, and they’d have to accept me right? Otherwise they’re being hateful?

@LowBorn so you're just pissed off then... I did not think you were from those groups [i]just affected by them[/i]
what is your real point.. is there something you want to identify "as"?
or are you just done with all the "I identify as ... " stuff
or just done with Cultural appropriation stuff?

@SatyrService No I’m not angry about anything, I just thought I’d found to concepts that seem to cancel each other out.

@LowBorn[b] I do too,,[/b] but for how important it is to some very negatively affected persons and groups
di9d you ever watch the Dave Chappel show? he canceled it after 2 season because "some people are laughing for the wrong reasons"
they were[i] not getting the satire, the criticism of the culture[/i] he was showing
they just wanted to hear the funny funny racial slurs.
there are real examples of cultural appropriation, but not everything that borrows is appropriating
so too, there are persons that ARE in need of being accepted for what they [i]are trying to be
[/i]there are others just leaping on a band wagon. aiming for fame or whatever

@SatyrService No I haven’t heard that show. We maybe don’t get it in my country.

@LowBorn the show is less important than the concept.
it is WHY one wan ts to be seen in some way.. not merely that they want it
May I ask what nation?
culrual norms play a big part in these things..
here in the states for one,, the far west is way more likely to take you at what ever you call yourself
and so much hostility based on what a word means..
a c0ommon argument here is
Woman..for some that means [i]ONLY those born with all the woman bits[/i].. they would call a trans woman a transwoman.
but some trans women want to be called women. and take offense at any other label to the point of real hostility both ways.
consider Black. How black do you have to be to BE black?
In the states many persons of African decent are pretty light skinned..
and HERE that has made a lot of difference
there are people labeled black ho have lighter skin that some labeled white.
