pluckyredhead:khirsahle:lexsfosters:Girl meets world addresses Cultural appropriationThis gif set makes me feel deeply conflicted. Now, keeping in mind I have only seen this set and can only guess about the context of the scene (one of the girls in his class is appropriating Harajuku culture without understanding or respecting it?), all I can think is…Okay, yes, definitely as an adult teach her about cultural appropriation, the Harajuku girls, and why this isn’t okay. But for the love of God, don’t do it in front of her peer group, you fucking monster. I’m sorry, but the lesson I take away from this set is that this character is an insensitive dick publicly shaming a teenaged girl. Take her aside and talk to her like an empathetic, reasonable adult.Wow, sorry. That just tapped into a very dark, anger-filled place. Maybe I haven’t gotten over being openly mocked in front of my class by my 3rd grade teacher.Also, THAT’S HIS DAUGHTER. I haven’t watched Girl Meets World yet, but eesh, this is making me super not want to. His point is totally valid; the time and place he chose to address is is SUPER NOT.Oh good. Somebody put into words why I was feeling funny about this one.Huh. -- source link
