Cultural Appropriation ~ a new one on me.

[elytillidie]

Not a day goes by on this message board where someone is posting about a story which is sourced by social media.

The thing is social media is targeted, it will reflect your world view, if a page you like suggest that pictures of bacon sandwiches are banned off social media then they eat it up. The fact that its nonsense doesn't occur to them.

I think the idea of offence is over rated by many, the ease and access of social media is that many people will post throw away comments, that do not reflect the true view, the media report it because it is easy and generates clicks.

The story may have originated on social media, but it made the papers, which then makes it an issue. Cultural Appropriation is not just somebody putting the twit in Twitter though...

Why does something making the papers make it an issue. They print any old rubbish in the attempt to gain clicks and sell advertising.

As we are seeing people from a certain generation love posting these articles, accompanied by "the worlds gone mad".

Most of it is nonsense. But I must admit I am amazed that Ali Campbell got away with singing in a fake Jamaican accent without anyone calling him out on it.
