Thread: Lady's Artistic Trials of Times Once Past

So I got bored and thought I would do a show off thingy of some old work so hopefully spur some new work This is all i can find at the moment, over many years and HDD failures I have lost a lot of work, so I currently have no good human renders to show but maybe later I will update with a progression post. Some early work from back around 067 Test renders of a few later things I am so slack
Thread: Cultural Appropriation

So, how do you guys feel about so called cultural appropriation? Is it real to you? Is it hokum? Personally, I think it's the most ridiculous terminology I have ever seen. As if certain cultures own certain designs or fashion trends and you're somehow a racist if you use them in any way. There's a line and for me, it's very clearly defined. For example, since she most recently came under fire for her recent video and has been in the news for this sort of thing before, I'll use Katy Perry as an example. Like her AMA geisha getup during one of her performances Not only that but... the dancers on stage with her... Honestly, for me, this is no different from black face, particularly the dancers and their caricature of stereotypical Asian features in their makeup. It's a little offensive and I can empathize with those who find it so. She was going for a theme and went a little too far with it. However, I've also seen these images called cultural appropriation as well What if it didn't say Afrika and have that allusion? Can no one ever use that type of pattern ever again now because some tribes in Africa have used similar patterns in their styles and dress? I guess you can never ever put any sort of stick-on jewelry on your face or forehead ever forever because women in India have a patent on it or something. Or feathers in any kind of headdress in any way. You absolutely have to be a war chief with Native American in your blood. I guess what really bothers me and what made me want to start this thread was the uproar Ms. Perry has caused on the internet with her recent video for This Is How We Do where in some parts she looks like this I read a black young woman go on a tirade about how much African Americans have suffered because of their hair, being forced to tame their natural hair in different ways because it was not acceptable to let it go or style it naturally. Like, black men and women could literally not get jobs or join the U.S. military if they did not straighten and put relaxers in their hair. And that was why she thought Katy Perry was a racist. Black people have suffered so much prejudice, so, white people can never put their hair in box braids or cornrows. I just have a problem with policing the way people choose to artistically express themselves and personally do not feel that segregation is really solving racism in any way. But there is a line. What do you guys think?

I think better than half of the moral outrage that you see about how people act or dress based on this topic is a steaming crock of shit. That is all
Thread: Cultural Appropriation

I find it personally very irritating when people judge each other positively or negatively just based on where they're from. I'm not sure if it counts as 'racist', but it's just... infuriating.
Thread: Cultural Appropriation

Isn't imitation a form of flattery? Sometimes when you live in multicultural societies like Canada and America including others, you learn a bit about other peoples cultures and traditions. Sometimes you come to admire them and incorporate some elements into your own life. Personally I don't have a problem with Cultural Appropriation if its done respectfully. I have no issue with people admiring aspects in cultures they know little about, for it seems to me they want to learn at least if they are attracted to something. Of course, sometimes people could mock or portray it in an offensive manner, in which an outcry is justifiable. Just my two cents on the whole concept.
Thread: Cultural Appropriation

Personally I think it's more racist to try and restrict something solely to one group of people- it's setting up more barriers between cultures that will do nothing more than frustrate other groups. I mean if you're treating it with respect, then where's the issue? It's not like Katy Perry was running around in blackface juggling buckets of KFC, she was simply utilizing a kind of fashion. Oh but what do I know- I'm white so I instantly have a golden ticket through life and couldn't possibly weigh in on such issues.
Thread: Cultural Appropriation

Worth noting that the 'asian features' you saw in their makeup is because they are using an exact pattern that was designed for asian features without modifying it. Culture is such an ugly concept. The bare ends of tribalism, still polluting our modern world. I'm gonna go ahead and say that those complaining about cultural appropriation are all racist to their very core, in addition to being desperate to segregate. Hopefully someday, the only culture will be cliques - Groups that dissolve and reform every generation.
Thread: Cultural Appropriation

Katy's outfit doesn't look bad, but the two dancers... no. I may be a cynic who isn't helping but it seems like lately the younger generations are becoming hypersensitive toward being as politically correct and respectful as humanly possible to the point it just seems exhausting and time consuming, and this is one of them. I've seen the argument about people wearing Native American headdresses because only chiefs wear them and by doing so we are disrespecting their position in an already dying culture. Even though something originated somewhere doesn't mean it should be limited to that country or culture. If anything it spreads and sparks interest and knowledge of the culture. It may not start off well informed, but at least it's out there. Perhaps it'd help people to see it from another perspective. videoyoutube Maybe it's because I'm white but I don't find this offensive. If you don't want to watch it's about a subculture in Japan of girls who are highly influenced by American black hip hop culture. The girl in the video appreciates the culture because it's more embracing of women with curves and she simply identifies with it more. Other than the excessive tanning I don't see an issue. I wonder how many black Americans would find what she does offensive.
Thread: Cultural Appropriation

I am a straight white male. I often hear I cannot say or do because of my skin color, gender or sexuality. Is that not how we define racismsexism? I'm not saying the world is the exact same for me as it is for all others, nor that it should be. Nor that I have some latent desire to go blackface or what have you. There's certainly lines you can cross that go into being disrespectful. But this hypersensitivity nonsense can kiss my black asswhich is a fun saying that's come out of African-American culture, I don't care what skin color you are . I'm not familiar with the aforementioned performance other than that it happened and that some people were butthurt, nor am I familiar with Katy Perry in any more than a passing sense. But when I look at that first picture I don't see anything offensive. I see something gorgeous. As tolerant as I am, one thing I don't tolerate is people just jumping to conclusions - how is it insulting that she acknowledged that this culture exists, and even though she's white she thinks it's pretty and artistic and wanted to highlight it on a worldwide stage? Please. If you want to be offended, Asian people, go back to the WWII bucktoothed caricatures that at least justify a discomfort. I love St.Patrick's Day. Not only do I love being Irish but I love the slogan of 'Everybody is Irish on St.Patrick's Day!' because it's not about 'this is my culture, you stay on your side of the line.' It's about celebrating the most enjoyable aspects of a people, and it doesn't matter what skin color you are, or who your parents happen to be. You're invited.
Thread: Cultural Appropriation

I think if you are using a cultural style or symbol to mock or attempt to be a certain culture, that is pretty ignorant and insensitive, and when a white person does it from their stance of cultural superiority, that's definitely racist. Even if you are not making mockery of those people, using it to be stupid is close enough to the whole blackface thing. And I definitely understand how someone might feel when something that means a lot to you is used by someone else that doesn't share in that meaning. Especially if they attempt to associate with that mean i.e. wearing a kimono and saying oh look I'm so Japanese as opposed to wearing a kimono because form of the garment to be comfortable. This is much the deal with using war bonnets in your pseudo-noble savage nature-y art photoshoot. Or the Katy Perry thing above. However, I think people also need to have some perspective that not everyone is doing things from those motivations, and that meanings are not inherent, they are created by humans, and to let your valid outrage over racism, imperialism, and so on, blind you to this truth, you are ultimately aligning yourself with a harmful worldview. It's real hard for me, for instance, to take someone seriously after they express disgust and rage over a white person wearing their hair in dreadlocks which are not even exclusive to African cultures in the first place. It's petty, and narrow-minded, and doesn't really have anything to do with the very real problems of racism in the world. Another one I see is people getting mad about bindis. Which I can understand since in Hindu culture with spiritual significance. But it's only a symbol because people made it that way. If others come along and adopt a decorative forehead dot, having no knowledge of the symbolism and only seeing an aesthetic value, then they need to take a step back and realize that meaning is artificial, no matter how old and vital to their culture it has become, before they get upset. And indeed, the bindi has spread to other Asian cultures nearby without having the same cultural significance, and I guarantee you there are Indian women out there who wear a bindi and are not practicing any traditional religion or care that much for tradition at all... they're not respecting the symbolism, but do they get called out? No, because it's only wrong when it's appropriation, which usually means it is only wrong when white people do it. And if you bring such a subject up, especially if you are white, you get called out as a racist,, for daring to call people out on their bigoted, prejudiced attitudes. Which they always justify by talking about how white privilege is an institution which is right, but they take it too far as if it's the only thing that matters or the only thing that's harmful. And thus the cycle of ignorance, hatred, and strife continues while people pretend they are being right. To sum up, I think it's a little bit of column a, little bit of column b, and as per usual with humans, they refuse to set aside their one perspective to get a more complete insight into what's going on.

I don't like how people throw around the worst racist or bigot. Those are major insults such as using the words hatred and love. I feel they should be used with caution and consideration. Because there is ignorance, and then we could find a middle ground and use willfully ignorant. I save bigoted for those who have been presented the facts, been proven wrong, yet they still aggressively refuse to accept such information and spout opinions and beliefs against it.

Click to expand... This is how I feel as well. I keep on hearing these terms thrown around but I feel like the people using them so blithely are just trying to silence people they view as opponents. Racism to me, means judging someone because of the color of their skin. It has nothing to do with stereotypes that are associated with certain races or any of that it's when you get to the point that someone is not considered on your own level of humanity based on the color of their skin. In a way, saying that I am not worthy to wear cornrows or a surri simply because I'm white, is in fact racist. You don't have to be oppressed to face racial inequality racism IS the method of oppression. As for the cultural stuff... I'm an artist and a writer - I think that can go for a lot of people on this forum - and I do not like feeling like my imagination and media of expression can be policed or restricted because of other people's sensitivities. If I make an animated movie with a new race of beings in a fantasy setting with garb that might look like a mixture of African and Native American tribes, it doesn't mean I am trying to connect the two in any way or somehow use their cultures to say something about those cultures. It means I'm taking aspects of things I am familiar with for inspiration. I can do that with anything. I can take inspiration from the people in my real life, people that I know and interact with on a daily basis. Does it mean I'm making fun of them or disrespecting them to include them in my fictional vision? How can it mean that when I use aspects of different cultures for artisticaesthetic value then?
Thread: Cultural Appropriation

Racism is a word with negative connotations. You do not want to be a racist. You want the other guy to be racist. Your primary goal in the topic of race is establish that the other guy is racist. This is why people on one side will highlight anything a white person does that annoys a person of color as 'racist'. It is also why white people claim reverse racism whenever they receive hatred simply for being white. Are they right? Maybe. But they're not doing it to be right, they're doing it to win. Just another example of words beings used for feelings and not for real communication.

If you receive hatred simply for the color of your skin, yes, that is racism. You are being judged based on your skin color which is your race.

Thread: Cultural Appropriation

Agreed, no real gray area there. But I do want to clarify one thing. There is no such thing as 'reverse racism.' This is an ignorant term that has started popping up lately which I find offensive, and hope anyone that considers theirself an intellectual would also stop to think, then open their mouth to others about. The problem is the 'reverse' part. It's only applied when someone is racist toward a white person. That's racism. There's nothing reverse about it. It's subtly implying that only whites are capable of actual racism. It must take existing in one heck of a bubble for that to be true. According to history books - those facts, such a nuisance! - we've more or less run the gamut in terms of every type of person being walked on by someone else. It's not a white thing, it's a stupid human thing.

Thread: Cultural Appropriation

So today I was on Tumblr and reading a thread on cultural appropriateness. It was a picture of Lady Gaga wearing a saree with traditional Indian accessories and people were griping about it. Then someone came in and corrected them saying that Indians are actually very open to people embracing their traditional culture which is quite often not even associated with religion. Then there were some more positive and enlightening comments. And then the last one stated Most cultures are flattered when people wear their clothing, speak their language, etc. Its just the white people who think its offensive usually! Why you gotta go be hypocritical and contradicting by throwing blame and stereotyping on another race? Ugh. Totally ruined the post for me.
Thread: Cultural Appropriation

A more accurate thing to say that it is usually Americans who think it is offensive. In almost every conversation on racism and related topics I've come across, no one EVER brings up racism in other countries except maybe European colonialism or South African apartheid. But you never see, say, a discussion on issues of racism in Japan against Koreans or Ainu. Or in China, which actually has a ton of ethnic groups. The one time I did it was talking about Sami from the nordic regions and oppression they face at the hands of the predominant nordic ethnicities. The people in this discussion actually referred to them as people of color when in fact Sami are not. It's just... what? I just don't know.
Thread: Cultural Appropriation

Well, I've personally noticed that different cultures on the whole react differently to others imitating their cultures. Japanese people I've found never really mind others copying or even mocking their culture and are heavily against censorship, South Park, Futurama, the Simpsons, all have openly mocked Japanese culture and the Japanese viewers actually liked it, they liked the light hearted tone of it, and when it comes to participating in Japanese customs, like I did when visiting Kyoto on a brief holiday after graduating highschool, I took part in a traditional japanese festival kiminos, masks, chanting, games, the whole shebang and 99.99 of the natives reacted positively to an English speaking white guy trying out their culture and wearing their traditional clothes. and When telling my Japanese friends about some anime I've been watching and the such, their initial reaction before we get into a proper conversation is always positive. the chinese are quite similar in this way, however their reaction is mostly neutral, an overall reaction of meh IndianHindus, when it comes to foreigners copying their culture are more in the don't make it offensive or we'll get pissed camp, they don't typically mind when outsiders use it or participate in it, so long as it's done with respect. ArabIslamic culture... yeah I've seen enough beheading videos and the such to know that even to mention islamic culture in anything other than mindless praise is essentially a death sentence.

Thread: Cultural Appropriation

It's interesting isn't it. They want us to have Multi Cultural societies and a blended humanity and everyone getting along. This means that we will draw influences from each other and even mix cultures to get different variations of themes and even people at times. But when that happens the Politically Correct boffins scream racism and cultural appropriation, to me it seems that there is a segment of society that thrive on creating division, conflict and offence where there isn't any.
