I do enjoy having these discussions, as it’s incredibly important to keep topics that affect so many in society being discussed so that we can accurately identify and remove the problems from our culture.
If this is too much for you, if you or anyone else feels this is too annoying to read about (or that it would make you vote for someone who cleaerly only would make people talk about this stuff more), then I suggest you just don’t come into these threads.
We need to all have open minds about these things. I personally think on the scale of appropriation, this actually comes a bit low. However, my own perception doesn’t override what someone from that culture feels about these costumes. We should listen, question, and learn what we can. At the end of the day, one person talking about VS’s appropriation of their culture is not going to negatively affect your life. This really shouldn’t annoy you.

And except for bitching about it on Internet, what do you do about racism in real life?
98% of SJWs are literally just bitching about it on Internet to feel good about themselves and when it comes to actually doing something where y'all at?
Also people of a culture which is marginalized do not care about **** like this. They care about not being able to get jobs and actually important stuff. Only people complaining about **** like this are privileged white gays who spend way too much time on Tumblr.
