I like the warm fuzzy atmosphere on this forum, even when there's a disagreement going on.
Yeh so what you just posted shows that there's critics who frame cultural apropriation as being misappropriation. And it goes on to talk about collective intellectual property of cultures.
I disagree with the whole premise of intellectual property as owned by specific cultures. So that's why the premise of how critics are framing cultural apropriation means nothing to me.
I don't believe all white people or all black people have intellectual property rights over inventions within their cultures.
I also don't care about using elements of a culture in ways that the members of that culture didn't intend.
In fact I think it's a very good thing. Having the freedom to use Christian religious figures in comedies and so on is an important excersise in freedom.
I wish it was more like that in Islamic society.

Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.
