yea that anon is just parroting stuff with no source. facepaint is used in almost every culture and is only a native stereotype if the character itself is supposed to be native or dressing up like it. i cant count the amount of times ive seen indigenous artists get harassed by nonnatives claiming theyr appropriating their own culture bc they just heard somebody say it on twitter
youre all anons in my inbox. like i already said, i dont know about this stuff, im not indigenous, so if theres a potential that im doing something wrong, i want to avoid it or correct it. thats all there is to it for me. i understand that this is a nuanced topic but im not equipped to discuss it
#i do think its nonsensical that people will dogpile on anyone for for using elements of their own culture in their designs but like i said.#am not native american#i rlly am not knowledgable on this topic#ill try to educate myself better#but for now can people stop sending asks like this#im asking nicely#i have other stuff to do rather than overthink my responses all day#i have nothing personal against anyone who has participated in this discussion. im just tireddd and i have to finish my assignments!!!!#asks!
