What I truly don't understand is that this notion (and Animal Crossing Bells literal quote from among the tweets) which"that isn't for you". Surely people (or allies) of races who have been historically oppressed can observe the damage that can be done by attempting to re-normalise the idea that certain things can be reserved for people of certain races?I don't think I could blame her for being rebellious after obtaining 600 deranged answers on a completely anodyne tweet. Her reply was far more level-headed than mine could have been.
I agree that after being fixed, I would have only been like"oh fine they are called afro puffs, nevertheless they are adorable right?" As opposed to insisting they had been distance buns, but whatever.
Non-issues such as this are why people's eyes roll when'cultural appropriation' even gets brought up.Now that it has been a couple of months since the circumstance, I've got this to sayInsisting on calling them'space buns' when they're clearly afro puffs is weird. I meanthey look like cornrows braided up into kinky pigtail puffs, aka afro puffs. They're pretty distinct from, say, the odango wig that's already represented in the game (which looks more similar to what you buy when you google'distance buns'). The situation was still pretty ridiculous, particularly since it went how I knew it would with... let's say,'radical' people chiming in to'stick it ' those'oversensitive liberals' or whatever other side of the spectrum boogeyman resides in their minds.
Gatekeeping and throwing random guidelines on who can utilize what about their little bundles of buy Animal Crossing Items pixel and code? Nonsense. They are fighting a battle that isn't there and making themselves seem all the way dumb in the procedure.
