INNA 3,666 Posted January 10, 2023 Share Posted January 10, 2023 She’s always done her “cultural appreciation” to an inappropriate degree. She clings to it because I guess she thinks it distinguishes her from the pack but in reality it’s so lazy and just proves that she’s got very little inspiration outside of things that feel exotic or novel to her. Idk why it’s been so okay for her to do this for so long. I blame Ska culture in part. Side note, Avril was cringe for Hello Kitty but literally Gwen has made that behavior into a lifestyle and it’s giving identity delusion fragment-fragment--bul-uh...scab-uh..fragment-foot, bullet fragment foot bich!

I do have a question, is this Kylie Minogue video problematic? https://youtu.be/TPwyvZa0AZk i don’t know why it’s not embedding sorry. https://youtu.be/TPwyvZa0AZk ugh I wish it would embed Always & Forever, 🧚🏻♂️🦉CHARMZ🦉🧚🏻♂️ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RenegAde 19,109 Posted January 10, 2023 Share Posted January 10, 2023 1.)Title is misleading 2.) Stan twitter needs to learn that it's not their place to speak out for these cultures, they know what cultural appropriation is and will call it out when they need to.

4th Time Around 4,459 Posted January 10, 2023 Share Posted January 10, 2023 These discussions and accusations about cultural appropriation are irritating in many cases. People just look for excuses to accuse it seems, remember a time when someone could say something without a legion of people with too much time on their hands taking issue with it.

Idk how is she on magazines, she has 3 hits from a decade ago People who watch The Voice know her as a judge from that show. otherwise, correct, she hasn't put out quality music since The Sweet Escape (2006) Pronounced like “Balenciaga” . Emphasis on the “Ga” Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s clearly in reference to her identifying/appreciating Japanese culture and not her racially claiming to be Japanese I agree, she just should’ve made it far clearer than she did. Considering it was a huge part of her father’s life, I understand what she means, but her wording was not it lol Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ziggy 11,679 Posted January 10, 2023 Share Posted January 10, 2023 It’s easy to just say you revere the culture and wanted to show it to the world not “I’m Japanese bc my dad worked for Yamaha” hahahaha the faux pas Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCgaga 4,321 Posted January 10, 2023 Share Posted January 10, 2023 What’s the issue? It’s not like Japanese/korean culture isn’t inspired by American culture as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RahrahWitch 6,985 Posted January 10, 2023 Share Posted January 10, 2023 Being inspired by culture is completely fine as long as you do it respectably, especially modern culture. That said, no you're not Japanese Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ModernEcstasy 8,953 Posted January 10, 2023 Share Posted January 10, 2023 Gwen learned about Japanese culture when she was young? Funnily enough, I was learning to keep quiet and think before saying something foolish Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HausOfAntonio 8,021 Posted January 10, 2023 Share Posted January 10, 2023 Its clear by the way she speaks she only absorbs the aesthetics of each culture she claims to be inspired by. I love her music but like, come on… you can tell her engagement is purely visual (eg. THAT Looking Hot MV) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 10, 2023 Share Posted January 10, 2023 This is already being taken so out of context my gosh. It was already obvious she was inspired by different cultures, there was no need to elaborate.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
