It wouldn't be so laughable if the whole thing hadn't been organised like a woke joke. More interested in policing cultural appropriation than protecting people and policing the event. Same people organised Leeds festival... Nuff said.

Random tangent.

The term Cultural Appropriation is abused so much nowadays imo, it's like people can't tell the difference between Cultural Appreciation and claiming that Kimono's are British (genuine Cultural Appropriation) it can be irritating when people can't tell the difference, regardless of what age group they're apart of.

I know that my post is a bit random, but I wanted to add my thoughts to the Cultural Appropriation stuff.

It's all BS, to be frank.

It's one of those things about which only "terminally online weirdos" care.

I wore my blond dreads wig to Greenbelt Festival and got nothing but compliments. Even people who looked like they'd be what some might call "SJWs" or "woke" either spoke to me nicely/normally without seeming to notice, or said they liked them.

Of course, I don't know what happened out of my line of sight. Maybe people were shooting daggers at me or secretly photographing or filming me for their latest TikTok about evil Appropriaters. But I doubt it.

I remember how bad the cultural appropriation tag was around 2018/2019. Lots of people with crap memories of the past like to romanticise the way general society was before the pandemic (as if every era doesn’t have its highs and lows) but when it comes to that kind of propaganda (accusing people of culturally appropriating just for breathing, non-binary shiz) the late 2010s was a truly ridiculous time. It’s not as bad now.

Oh I agree that the 2018-2020 period was the era of bad takes from society, or just people not reading a Dictionary to get the definition of certain terms.

Basically I agree with you, I think I've noticed in particular some significant improvement coming in the last two years, it's not perfect by any means, but like you've said no era is perfect.
