i want to give my take on why this is ca, i’ll copy and paste as i’ve already explained it to others!
i don’t want to cancel anyone, this is just my perspective as an indigenous person 💗
feathers are super important to us and u have to earn them, even in my culture they are very very important so it could be, as well as a “misuse”. i’m not sure how to say it but that’s not how they should be used in hair/headbands and it’s cheaply made so it’s clearly some +
version that aestheticizes our culture. usually only chiefs are allowed to wear feathers, it looks like a cheaply made version of a dream catcher which is also a red flag. sadly, this has been appropriated time and time again and is now labeled as bohemian/hippie 😓 +
when it’s not, even the shawl is ripped off! just with different patterns and name. i hope u can understand where i’m coming from, my ancestors have been shamed for this and for it to become an aesthetic bc they’re not the ones wearing it hurts, pls share! i’m no good w emails +
so if someone could write out a template that would great 😓
update: close oomf is working on the template 💗
if a non oomf sees this: i’m not a girl and don’t use she/her on me. if we disagree, don’t misgender me. be respectful, thanks! 💗
please don’t blame the boys! i doubt it was their fault, i blame bh 😓😓
