Cultural Appropriation = SO HIP
Oh yeah. There was this thing I saw this past weekend that I completely forgot I wanted to rant about.
So, it's no secret that I don't care for Twilight. In fact I think there are some people who would tell you that's a gross understatement. I don't usually tend to mention it on here though because I have friends who like it that I don't want to make feel bad, and I tend to try and follow my own rule about not wasting time writing about things I don't like.
But this. This was the straw that broke the camel's back.
Thanks Hot Topic. Really, thanks so much. What am I speaking of? How about some helpful pictures to get us started.
Wow. Check out that ~stylish~ native symbol on the front and "Quileute" printed on the back of that BASEBALL TEE. LIKE IT'S SOME SORT OF TEAM OR SOMETHING. Hey. Asswipes. The Quileutes? Not some goddamn fantasy family clan like the ~Cullens~. The Quileutes? They're an ACTUAL NATIVE PEOPLE THAT LIVE HERE ON THE COAST OF WASHINGTON STATE. You know, PEOPLE? REAL PEOPLE? Let's say the werewolves were like, Asian or something. Would douchebags walk around with ~Asian~ printed on the back of their SUPER-HIP BASEBALL TEES!? (EDIT: Better example: If this shirt had, say, INDIAN or NATIVE AMERICAN printed on the back of it like a team name, WOULD PEOPLE SERIOUSLY WEAR IT IF THEY WEREN'T THAT RACE?) What the fuck. What the fuck. If you are not from the Quileute tribe, you have NO BUSINESS WEARING THAT SHIRT. YOU. DOUCHEBAG.
Hot Topic, you should be ashamed. SO VERY FUCKING ASHAMED.
That is all.
