death to america
#not prompted by anything in particular the thought just came to me and i nodded and decided to put it out there#every day i am at a risk of seeing the most problemless people talk about their 'problems' online.#this is mostly done by a very specific type of american which i am sure you can picture well#but an uncomfortable amount of americans think that the world revolves around them and that their social norms are the global standard#while simultaneously fetishizing every single foreign culture they get their hands on?#the process involves insane watering down of the culture in question AND wholly ignoring the people who are a part of it also.#i watch travel video people occasionally and too many of them are. like this#this is a complex topic that is not meant to be explored in tumblr post obviously but it just annoys me more everyday#i dont like the way that theyre everywhere and engaging with foreign things through an American filter. its like microdosing colonization.#trying to dictate how things work and how they dont even though they had no part in their creation or even in their development sometimes.#this is sort of referring to jfashion subculture communities but applies to a lot of other things#i just see people arguing on social media about what this or that subculture is about and its like? Why do you think youre an authority#on this topic?#of course anyone has a say in anything but talking about some things like you own them feels so disrespectful honestly.#jfashion wise specifically its just weird. they will be like jpn (subculture member) are like this and like that and say that this or that#makes you a poser and such but then you see the jpn people online and it is literally just Not That you know?#i cant speak for japanese people Obviously but i need to say i find it very weird. to do this to any foreign culture really.#like you say youre a part of this and that you know so much. but you clearly know nothing about this community. you do not interact with it#like please have SOME shame.#it should be common sense to not act as an authority about something you dont know very well.#.txt
