minus-squaresugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up3·14 hours agoAppropriation implies a form of exclusivity and denying the original’s validity. As in: KKK took that symbol and forever changed everyone’s association with it to their own org. It’s not appropriation to use a thing, it’s appropriation to treat your use of the thing as the correct/real one.
