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...

This non-issue was brought to my attention whilst reading through the news online. Seems it made several national papers and was thus presumably read by millions of people. I then checked the net to see if it was an actual issue, or just some social media storm in a teacup, When I found the articles in The New Statesman and The Guardian, two respected publications, I mistakenly thought that if it's not an issue, it's in danger of becoming one. I don't class myself as one of the offended, the non-offended, or the offended by those who get offended, and certainly didn't mean to cause offence.
the other 2 articles were from 2015 and 2016.
The daily mail have printed this because a) they can print pictures of the little mix girls wearing very little clothing (clicks) b) little mix fans will read it, and become outraged because little mix can do what they like (clicks) c) the 'worlds gone mad' brigade love it and will post it on football message boards (clicks).
Lets be honest its the first time i've been involved in a debate about the hairstyles of little mix on this site.
I think some don't realise quite how desperate newspapers are to keep updating with new 'stories' throughout the day and keep the hitrate up.
This forms a good deal of the news nowadays.
It usually gets posted on here to with - “what’s this world coming too” as a thread title.
At least the alt-shite have moved to oocc or whatever it’s called.
It's all her fault ...
