must be nice. always having a pillow with you
What vape shop does she work at?
67.32% of them.
Holy shit, what is going on in this thread? I wont even take a stance atp just sit back and enjoy the shittiest opinions ive ever seen
i used have this community, nostupidquestions, and showerthoughts blocked because of all the stupid shit i see, but i missed it on this account. block for your own sanity lol
Well you see the thing is
I dunno
ikr, didn’t expect hair to trigger Lemmy wtf
I can smell those from here
I’ve never been around dreadlocks. Do they typically smell?
It’s the patchouli and skunk weed that usually go along with white person dreads that smells.
I’m really curious.
Is this rage bait or are you really this stupid?
Those are some shitty nats.
I mean knuckles is more accurate.
That’s a lot for hair for a 13 year old
I’m confused. Is this not a cropped OF picture? That’s what I assumed from the bottom of the image

Nope she’s an archeologist
So annoyed that this is a real person
This is probably my ignorance but how could she have really flat hair in the front and then dreadlocks at the same time?
The hair at the front wasn’t matted into a dreadlock.
Cultural misappropriation.
How so?
she can have it as long as she stays away
Uncanny valley.
Okay, yes, but I’d still like to see more in the series.
Same, I’d hear out her cult members to hang a bit longer
My dude dreadlocks have been in celtic, germanic, and scandinavian cultures for millenia. All you’re doing is promoting racial ignorance and segregation.
the only comment that actually gives a counterargument i can understand, thank you. still looks cringe and like they’re trying to be like black people lol so i’ll definitely still be embarrassed for them if i see it in public.
You know what? I’m actually gonna meet you half way and say she’s appropriating ancient white cultures because those dreads do look really fucking terrible.
This from the guy that doesn’t believe China exists…
I went to “china” last week and all I saw was a giant ocean where the gps said was supposed to be land.
Then where do all of my sex toys come from?
Ask not from where the sex toy was sent, but for its destination.
“hair is cultural appropriation”
What a dumb take lol 😆
First article says “yes, no discussion”
Second article says “depends, as they originated in many cultures, but be aware that people might get aggressive about it”
oh yeah I get aggressive about it. looks cringe as hell and gives me secondhand embarrassment on their behalf
Also the 2nd article is titled “Are Dreadlocks Cultural Appropriation?” However the commenter made the hyperlink text: “Dreadlocks Are Cultural Appropriation”. Lol. Regardless of how you feel about the subject, that’s a bit of a disingenuous citation
why are we upvoting cultural appropriation?
Every single culture has had dreadlocks at some point in their history. Every. Single. One.
Also, cultural appropriation is some white suburban mom bullshit designed to separate us out into groups vs sharing and appreciating each others cultures
Because it’s good.
We should share and be interested in other cultures.
Why are we gatekeeping hairstyles?
do you know what cultural appropriation is?
I do. It’s bullshit. And I mean the concept, not the act.
If you don’t like cultural appropriation, why aren’t you angry at all the Asian countries where people wear suits and drive cars? That’s entirely European western culture.
That looks bad. But original.
Of course she has tattoos.
I know plenty of boomers with tattoos or that don’t mind them. This notion of “women ruin their bodies with tattoos” feels more like some incel/christian-conservative shit.
I remember when my mom (boomer got upset with me for getting my first and only tattoo. “Just think what you’re going to look like when you’re sixty!”
“I’m probably going to just look like everyone my age.”
God I always hated that shit. You’re going to be wrinkly and old at 60 no matter what. No one is going to be drooling as you walk down the beach, tits/balls dragging in the sand, why would a bit of ink matter?
And like, if a ton of people my age have tattoos then we’ll all have the same blotchy inked extremities and no one will think anything of it. We’ll all wind up at the nursing home telling each other “I think this used to be a bird.”
No one age 60 is more concerned about their tattoos over any of the other shit that happens to your body by age 60.
That christian conservative shit is basically boomer culture. I also know some boomers who eschew that dumbassery, but they are definitely an exception to the rule.
Fells very US centric. We have plenty of boomers in Europe that don’t really fall into the christian conservative group. They were still really bad on things like climate change, but associating an opinion towards tattoos for the entire generation just feels wrong.
I’m generally not a fan of generalising things onto generations. It’s a stupid way to divide people.
You’re getting a ton of hate, but I feel the need to get hated upon too. Call me a boomer, I don’t care. Not all people with tattoos are trashy, but all trashy people have tattoos.
edit Ahh, there it is, mmmm
but all trashy people have tattoos.
Imaging posting something this blatantly ignorant. I fell stupid just reading it.
I personally dislike tattoos and would never get one. Most of the ones I see on people I personally think are trashy or shitty. But do I say that? No, because people can do what they want. A lot of tattoos mean a hell of a lot to the people that have them. They have ever right to them.
And there are a lot that look kickass.
And even the ones I don’t like? :shrug: I wear greek fishermen hats almost all the times I leave the house and some internet people say I look like wossname that does Game of Thrones because i’m not skinny and I have a beard. They can judge me if they like and I don’t give two fucks.
But you walked into a stupid subthread and begged for downvotes, and so you got them. Brilliant work there, bud.
People have every right to do what they want. I also have the right to dislike it, and I have the right to do that here. Downvotes affect nothing, I’m not hurt by that. I just know what I’ve seen and I expressed it. Some people disagree and think I’m a shithead, that’s ok.
I’ve been on Lemmy since the start and I’m used to downvotes for opinions people don’t like. :)
Large tattoos on women are definently a warning sign. Same with pink or purple hair, and nose rings.
