Prom dress prompts 'cultural appropriation' row

[Teallaura]

Need to thank Rational Gaze for this one.

STD spreads one way and one way only - by having sex with multiple partners. Racism and stigma don't make you sleep around.

I can't wait for them to do an Islam-themed gala in 2019. Those costumes are going to be great.

What about a Stormy Daniels themed gala. Trump can be the judge.

The SJP one has GOT to be a joke. No way that's straight on. That's the flat out ugliest thing I've ever seen.



Except for most of your moms.

Apparently she has a history of wearing bizarre headwear.

Many of the female celebutards already dress like strippers so I don't think anyone would notice.

Why in the world should this discussion have even a hint of a mention of Trump in it?

The stupidity of people being offended for any little thing has absolutely nothing to do with him, and it's getting tiresome when every thread is hijacked by somebody who hates him.

Why not discuss the topic of the thread for a change!

What did Tozer say - they have the faces of angels and the morals of an alley cat.

Derailing thread is TWeb tradition.

Maybe. Doesn't make it any less tiresome.

Yeah, it's interesting how often Tassman pivots to Trump, isn't it?

She has gotten uglier as she aged. I didn't think that was possible. She always reminded me of a horse.

Do you associate concern about cultural appropriation with progressivism?

I'm a progressive and I've never seen other progressives use the phrase "cultural appropriation" in any way other than to mock those who are concerned / pretend concern about it.

I think concern about this issue, insofar as it exists at all, is limited to pseudo-woke neo-liberal anti-intellectual McFeminists. Probably most of the online 'concern' is coming from right-wing trolls who are pretending to be outraged leftists.

You don't remember the two women who were accused of cultural appropriation because they were white and selling burritos? Or when they accused the actress in Ghost in the Shell of whitewashing and cultural appropriation?

And I guess you didn't read the OP right here in this thread?

and here is one progressive reporter whining all about cultural appropriation in movies: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/...=.065b3b99d55f

But I guess "religious appropriation" is just fine, as long as it is just Christians. At least Christians probably won't send suicide bombers after you.

Do you realize that in the US the are types of illegality, and felony is only one type. California isn't making deliberately passing on HIV legal, it's still illegal, they're just tweaking the punishment for it. If you think there's a connection between the two articles in your picture (the second of which is about the rise of syphilis, chlamydia and gonorrhea) you're just stupid. But no surprises there.

The lesser level of criminality is a misdemeanor, which is basically like a traffic ticket or shoplifting less than $500. You might get a little jail time but probably not.

HIV is a very serious disease, even if it isn't always fatal now. It can be. So someone deliberately infecting someone with it should be more than a misdemeanor. It should be a felony akin to attempted murder.

Which is to say liberals in general.

1) the dress she was wearing to prom was nice looking on her and she was cute in it. I wish I looked that cute and thin and young again.
2) the met gala dresses were UGLY and kinda blasphemous.
