reverse oppression

[Soda Fox]

I don't think it has to be said, but AC was created by Japanese people. And don't use cracker both of you thx.

To be fair Red said using the same site. And even if the point was around the game itself, it still doesn't matter where the game came from. We all play it. It's something we have in common. That's the point.

Yeah, but our western countries traded part of our culture ($$$) for the right to localize and distribute it. That's one of the cool things about not being a closed culture.

you mention genocide. are you trying to say that people appropriating your culture is equivalent to genocide

I'm saying that appropriation is a factor of racism, and racism is what fuels the continued genocide of my people. We make about 2% of the population, and many of our women go missing and are found murdered. Hundreds. (Check out #MMIW) The fact that since 1492 we have been being murdered, the number of Natives that have been murdered, and the fact that there are many tribes that are extinct definitely classes as a genocide.

Would you like some sources other that myself?
- United to End Genocide
- History News Network
- Newsweek
- LA Times
- The Nation
- Indian Country Today
-Salon
- Duke Press
- Truth Out
- Wikipedia even
- Colonial Genocide in Indigenous North America (book)

You might be Native American, but your culture can't be that different from us crackers if you're on this same Animal Crossing site as we are. If we're not allowed to use your culture, then why can you use our video games? (and yes, video games are a part of culture)

Zoo wee mama is right. Red Cat, ***** YOU.

Nintendo = Japanese. Red Cat actually said "If we're not allowed to use your culture, then why can you use our video games? (and yes, video games are a part of culture)" VIDEO GAMES. And if the point was the site, I came here because of ACNL, created by Japanese people, not because of the ethnicity of the site's creator.

I mean American culture is about the blandest ****ing **** too imo so

it's like we have to open up to other cultures to get anything of actual interest

And money is part of the U.S.A as a whole. The U.S. government and things distributed by them (money) is not a culture. Remember, the money was FORCED on my people (as was English language, etc. etc.) So not only do I have the right to use it, but I am FORCED to use it.

So some white girl wearing your tribe's clothing is contributing to your people's genocide?

All the bleeding hearts come out of the woodworks for threads like this.

I think the only good (I guess if I can call it that) thing about these breads is that people start to show their true colors. Something you wouldn't see if it was just a thread about "hey let's trade the perfect cherries, friend-o!!1!"

On the other hand, I swear some people join the site with little to no intention of doing anything Animal Crossing related. lmfao

He's talking about Animal Crossing, you know, back in 2001, not the distant past where the money and English language was forced on you.

That's enough fun for one day children.
