that poll is making me absolutely insane. back when I had a tiktok I made a post about how you should be careful of cultural appropriation when making OCs based around angels from Jewish folklore and 50% of the responses I got were "wow I didn't know Ophanim and Seraphim were Jewish" (around 50% of those thought they were Christian) and the other 50% were saying "shut the fuck up I can do whatever I want also no they're not"

Like. please. tell me what Seraph means. Tell me what Ophan means. In what text did these words originate. Who wrote that text. Who was it written for

#atlas entry #the stupidest reply I got was from someone saying “actually angels come from zoroastrianism”#which is kind of like saying it's not cultural appropriation for me to wear a Native American headdress because they didn't invent hats #I'm so sick of goyim stealing everything from us and then getting mad when we try to take it back #also fhsiagsi the tiktok that inspired me to make the vid was someone going “this is my OC his name is Seraphim”#you know. Seraphim. that famously singular word #how can you claim Jewish angels when you don't know the first thing about them
