      That is a weird peeve for you. I'd have expected you to be battling essentializing tendencies instead :D

      the problem is "essentializing" is a close relative of "compression"

      This is an example that really annoyed me...in an attempt to compress what 'bindi' signifies, it essentializes it http://www.teenvogue.com/story/coachella-cultural-appropriation …

      yeah I remember that - essentializing in the sense of fixing meanings and making them legible

      I think before I lived in India I thought bindis had one particular fixed meaning and it was Extremely Spiritual

          yeah, frankly the "thoughtless appropriators" have it right... it IS mainly just a pretty forehead decoration 90% of the time

          also a pimple cream commercial that suggested that teens might cover a forehead pimple with a large bindi, suggesting low sacredness
