minus-square@RedstoneValley@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilink1•24 days agoTrue, but there are nuances. Stealing a symbol and giving it new meaning by using it for a different purpose is obviously a worse kind of appropriation than adopting language and culture.
minus-square@rainrain@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglish3•24 days agoSo it’s not just regular appropriation, it’s the bad kind of appropriation. Because they’re bad. Have I got that right?
minus-square@sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilink3•24 days agoAppropriation implies a form of exclusivity and denying the original’s validity. As in: KKK took that symbol and forever changed everyone’s association with it to their own org. It’s not appropriation to use a thing, it’s appropriation to treat your use of the thing as the correct/real one.
