Teletubby 114,807 Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 Rihanna has been accused of cultural appropriation after she posted a topless picture of herself on Instagram while wearing a necklace of Hindu god Lord Ganesha. One of the users wrote: "Can we stop sexualizing people's religion for clout," "I just don't understand the purpose of having a necklace with lord Ganesh as part of a lingerie campaign." Another users wrote: "Our culture is not your costume." "How is this okay when a person has more than enough resources to at least find out the meaning and significance of the chains and pendant around their neck?" source source i'm just a baby and @Juanlittlem is my ❀*·ꕤ. ☁️eternal enemy🌩️。˚❀ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

thatfoxyfeeling 11,861 Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 I’m sure Ganesh would be honoured to be touching Rihanna’s skin. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Adarsh Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 BTS fans are the first to cry about cultural appropriation when one of their boys literally wore a Native American headpiece for W magazine lol Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 I see many people wearing Fatma hand necklaces, nobody says anything about that or henna. I remember when I had henna white ppl making fun of me, now they do tattoos in the same style, same with fatma hand that now people wear but imnot sure they know what it means. Let people live it's not that big of a deal Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chromatislaps 34,555 Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 I get that appropriation is a fickle point, but people are getting offended by everything these days It would be better to inform Rih with why its appropriation instead of people just saying how it's not a good look or something. Im sure she isn't aware people are not okay with this. to attack her or cancel her like people like to do on twitter, is not the tea. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Togekiss 1,720 Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 It’s kind of like when people wear a rosary as jewelry. I think that accusations of cultural appropriation can get out of hand easily these days but it is low key disrespectful. Imagine a non Jewish person wearing a yarmulke just cause it’s a cute little hat. Cringe. bring on that pecan pie Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gumzy3000 6,341 Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 I think it has more to do with the fact this is a religious figure for Hindus. It's not just a cultural object but a sacrilegious one. Maybe Rihanna should listen to the people complaining about this. I do think its disrespectful for her to wear it like this. trolly troll troll Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
