Wat? This is so stupid it actually causes me physical pain. That's like telling anyone who's not a Christian they can't celebrate Christmas. 🙄

Or anyone who is, considering it's not a Christian holiday by origin

I recall when I was first informed about “cultural appropriation” and how it boiled down to the concept that if a white person enjoys any aspect of a non-white culture it was an act of racism. Gotta love the gravity well of ultra liberal bullshit warping back in on itself and becoming fascism.

It's not any form of liberalism. The troll depicted in the original post, is building a strawman. A ridiculous opinion nobidy believes. The goal is simple to delegitimise the whole idea of cultural appropriation. To basically say, Disney did nothing wrong taking children's public domain folklore and locking it behind an intellectual property paywall for 100 years.

That's the real goal here. As usual the powerful taking away from the weak and saying they're not allowed to complain.

You are ultimately right, this is fasch behaviour. This is fasch wearing fake liberal faceskin.
