RE: It's my martial arts world - King Bob - 07-10-2018 Slightly off the main topic, but following the previous posts, a good article on cultural appropriation RE: It's my martial arts world - El Dingo - 07-10-2018 Cultural Appropriation is awesome. Loving alternate cultures and attempting to emulate them is awesome. We should start by appropriating foreign holidays and making them national non-working holidays, starting with Chinese and Japanese "Children's Day", "Grandparent's Day", "Grave-Sweeping Day" etc. Then we need to have more men wear kilts, bring back the Chinese queue, more women in Saris and Kimonos. I believe cultural tolerance and eventual blending leads to world peace. Not those stupid cowboy boots with the long toes. That shit is entering Ugg territory. But seriously folks, if someone wearing your ancestors clothing offends you, you have serious priority issues. All cultures die eventually (if you don't believe me, try reading American documents from 1776). If you still don't believe me, champion foot-binding and female genital-mutilation claiming cultural righteousness. See you in the Star Trek universe! RE: It's my martial arts world - Dr. Ivor Yeti - 07-10-2018 I‘m with El Dingo on this one. “All culture is synthesis“ (John Shirley). Seriously, no culture was ever created in a vaccuum. The real question is someone being an asshole about it. I like seeing American culture getting worked over, folded up, spun around, and then kicked back to the USA. Music is king, along with food. Rap coming out of Europe, jazz out of Japan, all good. I ordered the Hamburger l’Americain” when I was in Paris years ago just to see what they thought it was. It was a cooked patty sitting on french fries, with a fried egg on top of the patty. Served by a surly middle-aged waiter. Voila! King Bob: Good article. RE: It's my martial arts world - Greg - 07-11-2018 How did you find a surly waiter in Paris? RE: It's my martial arts world - Drunk Monk - 07-11-2018 Actually cultural appropriation didn't come up at all at my Oakland Museum talk. Our parent company sells all sorts of Asian style attire. Appropriate away. In fact, I think most of you would look good in it. Particularly PPFY. Chinese garb is much more flattering than knickers. ![]() RE: It's my martial arts world - El Dingo - 07-11-2018 (07-11-2018, 05:56 AM)Greg Wrote: How did you find a surly waiter in Paris? When we visited Paris everyone was an asshole. Reminded me of New York. I hear France outside of Paris is very nice. RE: It's my martial arts world - Dr. Ivor Yeti - 07-11-2018 France outside Paris *is* very nice. I agree with your New York analogy. RE: It's my martial arts world - Drunk Monk - 07-11-2018 I can hardly wait. Paris is less than a month away for us.

I hope they go broke and then catch fire and die screaming. RE: It's my martial arts world - Drunk Monk - 07-31-2018 I still can't grok this. But I think it might work for the design of Victory SF. RE: It's my martial arts world - Drunk Monk - 08-03-2018 Speaking of ideas for Victory SF.... Note - this is 8:21 you'll never get back. Strongly suggest that you stop before the 1 min mark and just skip to the end around 6:45 or so. Also suggest you mute the sound and put on some bagpipe music. Will Victory SF sell kilts? Asking for a friend. RE: It's my martial arts world - Greg - 08-03-2018 Donnie Yen talks about why Star Wars doesn't work in China. You've heard all this before. But it is Donnie Yen Saying it. http://www.syfy.com/syfywire/rogue-one-star-donnie-yen-explains-why-star-wars-movies-dont-make-money-in-china |
