minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink1•2 months agoTrue, but there are nuances. Stealing a symbol and giving it new meaning by using it for a different purpose is obviously a worse kind of appropriation than adopting language and culture.

minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink3•2 months agoAppropriation implies a form of exclusivity and denying the original’s validity. As in: KKK took that symbol and forever changed everyone’s association with it to their own org. It’s not appropriation to use a thing, it’s appropriation to treat your use of the thing as the correct/real one.
