A lot of things I do are really bad to my parents and my old community. You could use the words "disrespecting" or "offending" them - including stuff like me roleplaying as an extremely convincing, bible-quoting christian girl while slowly stripping on a camshow. (cont)

This line feels deeply personal and I feel difficulty judging anybody for where they put this line - if their action *does not directly harm anyone else and does acknowledgge the pain caused by their action* - then they can limit their behavior wherever feels best for them.

This is how I make sense of cultural appropriation. Does it cause pain to people? Yes. Is it shitty to tell offended people to 'buck it up'? Yes. Do I support people voluntarily not appropriating because of compassion? Yes. Do I support people self expressing anyway? Also yes.

A caveat: Some things that look like 'cultural appropriation' are actually targeted hatred (like racist people using blackface), and this does not fall under the umbrella I'm discussing here, because it's done without a compassionate contact with the people they're hurting.

In other words, you acknowledge you are responsible for the pain (you could make it go away), but you deny that you are guilty of it (you have no ethical obligation to make it go away). This is an important distinction that a lot of people do not get.https://twitter.com/Jilcaesel/status/1153706986690797570 …
