Teach children that this is not ok

Teach children that thereā€™s nothing wrong with this

Iā€™m really not understanding why you think cultural appropriation would be ok, unless you are assuming that the girl in the picture is part Japanese.

Yellow face yet sheā€™s using white makeup in the traditional style but okay.
Cultural appropriation isnā€™t a thing, hon. ā˜ŗļø Cultures should be shared by all means.

I disagree. The makeup is clearly reflective of traditional Geisha makeup which is yellowface and therefore racist. Furthermore, the girl is wearing a kimono, a garment that has for ages carried cultural significance. Assuming that she is white how can you think this is ok? And cultural appropriation isnā€™t a thing? What rock do you live under? I suggest you educate yourself on the differences between cultural appreciation and cultural appropriation.

I am japanese, in japan at this very moment. The only people who think culture shouldnt be shared are racists like you. 
A vast majority of Japanese people actually enjoy other people making an effort to spread and enjoy japanese culture, and encourage it. Many make businesses in deliberately taking pictures of people in kimono. A common omiage (gift) for foreigners from japanese people is traditional japanese things such as kimonos, tea seats, shisa dog statues, ect. 
And to top it off, basically 80 percent of japanese customs, traditions, and food, came from other countries. Japanese is an integration of different cultures, like america. Japan takes influences from places like korea, china, russia, and europe. If japan stuck to itself, there would be no tempura, japanese tea, tea ceremonies, kabuki, japanese bread, japanese curry, j- pop, anime, cars, or modern fishing techniques. The picture is not ā€œyellow faceā€ they are not making fun of asians. In fact, it looks like they put extra care and research into their work. 
The only reason that you have a problem with this is because that little girl is white and you know that it is acceptable on tumblr to crap all over white people. The only racist here is you.

Damn Iā€™ve never hit reblog so fast in my entire fucking life

Daaaaamn

Pew pew pew

I reblog this every time I see it

I live in Japan and Iā€™d like to back up this sentiment.Ā 
Recently a museum in Boston came under a lot of fire for allowing visitors to wear aĀ ā€˜kimonoā€™ (it was featuring a painting my Monet of a girl ā€“ a white girl ā€“ in a kimono, and the museum had replicas made that guests of ANY RACE could wear to mimic the painting, Pageant-of-the-Masters style). After protests and heated debate, the museum closed the event.
I was living in Japan at the time, and out of all the *actual* Japanese people I asked, not a single one was offended by the event. Rather, they were excited that people half a world away were showing interest in their culture, and were sad that visitors could no longer enjoy the event.
This party, though somewhat silly in application, is an attempt at experiencing and appreciating another culture. The mom who put this together is not an expert on Japan, but she did her best. She got a lot of things right: there are few things Japan loves more than tea, Pocky, and sakura.Ā 
Where do you draw the line for who isĀ ā€œallowedā€ to learn about Japan? If the girl were of Japanese descent, would that make it ok (even though her citizenship would be the same as the girl from the photo)? If one of the girlā€™s parents were from Japan, then would it be ok?Ā 
Are you only allowed to make pizza if you live in Italy? If youā€™re an Italian immigrant? How do we decide these things??
You canā€™t say you want to dismantle racism and then in the next breath make rules ā€“ based on race ā€“ for who people can wear, try, or eat, especially when the intent is obviously to have fun experiencing a culture (as opposed to having fun by making fun of a race or culture, like blackface does).Ā 
When you tell people they can only experience things ā€˜meant for their raceā€™, it totally smacks of segregation to me and I canā€™t stand it. As someone who (obviously) loves Japan, I say let people learn about it, let people experience it, let people appreciate it. You donā€™t have to know every single thing about a culture to enjoy it.



fucking people got owned is what, fuck i hate how people say you cant do shit when culture should be shared and is shared its how it grows and changes through fucking generations itS HOW YOU LEARN about the world and just fucking, tumblr fucking stupid like 70% of the dam time

this new light

Vintage post, sipping on it like fine wine.

Always a fan of seeing this happen



Have fun, not make fun of



Same. Iā€™m glad when people enjoy my culture, wear our traditional clothes and try our food recipes, as long as its respectful :)



All people should try to learn other religions! Iā€™m proud of this girl!

Some parents really donā€™t understand the difference between actual discipline and hurting your kids.

This teaches a kid nothing except needing to hide what makes them happy because theyā€™re scared their parents will destroy it.




Wowā€¦what a terrible parent. Minecraft is A LOT of work, diligence, and creativity. The parent should have been encouraging that. And why does a 9 year old need to wake up every day at 7 am during a pandemic? Whatā€™s wrong with this person? 
I can foresee an estranged relationship in the future. Because this parent is out of their minds and more interested in exacting punitive control than being a loving caregiver. 



Y'all wonder why some kids are the way they are? This is it. 

why on earth does a NINE YEAR OLD CHILD has to wake up at fucking 7 am during a pandemic? 

also children may require up to TWELVE HOURS of sleep
heā€™s not being defiantā€”without the threat of a ridiculous and unnatural hour he MUST be awake at heā€™s actually following his natural circadian rhythm which is actually HEALTHIER for him
what theyā€™ve done is broken his trust in a MAJOR way. he does not feel safe or in control. which is why he is refusing meals. 
honestly? if they keep this behavior upā€”let alone just not apologizing and finding the save file for his gameā€”heā€™s gonna develop some dangerous coping skills like yknow. An eating disorder. Dissociation. Self harm.
Iā€™m not being hyperbolic. this is literally how it starts.

This is the second time this week Iā€™ve seen a story like this (the first being the boyfriend destroying his girlfriendā€™s AC island over an argument) and it makes me think ā€“ how is this ANY different to someone destroying a physical piece of art someoneā€™s made: ripping up their sketchbook, breaking ceramics, cutting up cosplays? If this person had come forward with a question likeĀ ā€œmy son wouldnā€™t get out of bed so I broke the birdbox he madeā€ there wouldnā€™t be ANY question whether this was abusive behaviour.
Thereā€™s an inherent disconnect with how we talk about theĀ ā€œvalueā€ of virtual items/creations in video games: something about the way that these things arenā€™t tangible in the conventional sense makes them somehow less valuable than something everyone can hold and observe and appreciate. Think about the amount of ā€œfunny gamer rageā€ videos out there that are people upset over losing WoW saves and the likes: game saves are often things people have put hundreds of hours into, they have value to that person and are representative of their own dedication. Hell, Iā€™m really bummed at the moment over not having access to some of my BL2 saves (I canā€™t travel to get my PS4 from uni), and I know Iā€™d be upset if I lost them forever.Ā 
Video games are a massive escape mechanism for a lot of people especially right now, and putting time and effort into particularly building games is a constructive and creative outlet that gives people a feeling of accomplishment (and letā€™s be real itā€™s a lot more practical than having a house full of lego). Yet thereā€™s still this weird stigma attached to them, thisĀ ā€œitā€™s just a gameā€ mentality that leads people to be easily dismissive of othersā€™ feelings over losing progress. Destroyed your girlfriendā€™s AC island, which she put hundreds of hours into building? Whatever, itā€™s just a game. Deleted your kidā€™s minecraft file, which he spent an entire year working on? Whatever, itā€™s just a game, why are you so mad? Itā€™s not a real thing, itā€™s just some numbers hiding behind fancy computer graphics!
Actions like this are intentional, targeted destruction of another personā€™s property - property they have created themselves -Ā  by an adult who knew what they were doingĀ and we should NOT treat them as anything other than that, regardless of medium.

Some parents really donā€™t understand the difference between actual discipline and hurting your kids.

This teaches a kid nothing except needing to hide what makes them happy because theyā€™re scared their parents will destroy it.




Wowā€¦what a terrible parent. Minecraft is A LOT of work, diligence, and creativity. The parent should have been encouraging that. And why does a 9 year old need to wake up every day at 7 am during a pandemic? Whatā€™s wrong with this person? 
I can foresee an estranged relationship in the future. Because this parent is out of their minds and more interested in exacting punitive control than being a loving caregiver. 



Y'all wonder why some kids are the way they are? This is it. 

why on earth does a NINE YEAR OLD CHILD has to wake up at fucking 7 am during a pandemic? 

also children may require up to TWELVE HOURS of sleep
heā€™s not being defiantā€”without the threat of a ridiculous and unnatural hour he MUST be awake at heā€™s actually following his natural circadian rhythm which is actually HEALTHIER for him
what theyā€™ve done is broken his trust in a MAJOR way. he does not feel safe or in control. which is why he is refusing meals. 
honestly? if they keep this behavior upā€”let alone just not apologizing and finding the save file for his gameā€”heā€™s gonna develop some dangerous coping skills like yknow. An eating disorder. Dissociation. Self harm.
Iā€™m not being hyperbolic. this is literally how it starts.

This is the second time this week Iā€™ve seen a story like this (the first being the boyfriend destroying his girlfriendā€™s AC island over an argument) and it makes me think ā€“ how is this ANY different to someone destroying a physical piece of art someoneā€™s made: ripping up their sketchbook, breaking ceramics, cutting up cosplays? If this person had come forward with a question likeĀ ā€œmy son wouldnā€™t get out of bed so I broke the birdbox he madeā€ there wouldnā€™t be ANY question whether this was abusive behaviour.
