Anytime somebody uses the word "trope" in a discussion, you know you're dealing with the weak-minded. And cultural appropriation is a ridiculous concept. I've known Asian cowboys, black ballet dancers, Caucasian martial artists. And what happens when you marry someone from a completely different culture? Is one spouse not allowed to immerse themselves in the other's culture? It's all so damn stupid.

Did Snake-Eyes marry Storm Shadow? I guess THAT could be the big twist in the origin they've made, huh? You don't seem to understand the context of cultural appropriation. Suffice to say that immersing yourself in a spouse's culture in order to have an appreciation for it and to better relate to your spouse isn't cultural appropriation. Nor is having a general appreciation for another culture. Last edited by Jmacq1; 02-10-2020 at 08:57 PM.. |

A trope is just a storytelling tool. Thinking someone is "weak minded" for using a word appropriately is...well, I guess I'd rather be "weak minded" than just plain stupid, is all I'm saying.

Don't make him better, make him equal because he worked hard. make the jealousy of storm shadow be about the fact he is an outsider and unworthy of being in the insular clan plus have storm shadow be talented but lazy that removes any issues with him being some super ninja. talent plus hard work beats talent alone any day

I grew up drawing and painting, and while I'm decent at a lot of things, that's the one area where people have said "you're talented", and I say no, i'm not. I'm practiced. my art in 3rd grade was just as poor as any other kid's. For them to envision Snake Eyes as "innately talented" would undermine his struggle to the top. |
