Really?

It's time again for rampant assheaded cluelessness about Cultural Appropriation AGAIN?

NOTE TO ASSFACES "Sometimes white authors don't do enough research when writing POC or other cultures, and fuck up pretty bad, so do good research/get familiar with your subject/don't write what you don't know shit about and maybe you'll fuck it up less" is ABSOLUTELY NOT THE SAME AS "White writers have no right to write anything other than white people, and if they try they're KKK members"

Also? Criticism IS NOT Censorship.

Go read and pay attention, to some of the good, smart, shit that's been thrown down the last few days. here's a roundup, even.
