Eli Bosnick had the best response to this ridiculousness.
“If I gave you a bowl of skittles and three of them were poison would you still eat them?”
“Are the other skittles human lives?”
“What?”
“Like. Is there a good chance. A really good chance. I would be saving someone from a war zone and probably their life if I ate a skittle?”
“Well sure. But the point-”
“I would eat the skittles.”
“Ok-well the point is-”
“I would GORGE myself on skittles. I would eat every single fucking skittle I could find. I would STUFF myself with skittles. And when I found the poison skittle and died I would make sure to leave behind a legacy of children and of friends who also ate skittle after skittle until there were no skittles to be eaten. And each person who found the poison skittle we would weep for. We would weep for their loss, for their sacrifice, and for the fact that they did not let themselves succumb to fear but made the world a better place by eating skittles.
Because your REAL question…the one you hid behind a shitty little inaccurate, insensitive, dehumanizing racist little candy metaphor is, IS MY LIFE MORE IMPORTANT THAN THOUSANDS UPON THOUSANDS OF MEN, WOMEN, AND TERRIFIED CHILDREN…
… and what kind of monster would think the answer to that question… is yes?”
The Stooges were making a film/short/whatever and one scene was giving Curly a lot of trouble. He kept blowing his line. They did take after take after take and he got more and more frustrated, because he couldn’t get it right.
One last take, he screwed it up, threw himself on the floor in frustration and started spinning himself like that going “woowoowoowoowoo.” It was pure rage and frustration.
Everyone present fell to the floor laughing, so they started using that in their films.
the 90′s were the best. No other era comes close. remember Wild Thornberries?? Cow and Chick???? Those were the tour de force. They’ll never make ‘em as well as they did back then
modern au magnus has an instagram where he posts videos of him carving wood and pictures of the dogs at the shelter he volunteers at and he has more followers than taako which enrages taako to no end
The best part is that this is probably something that would have actually happened since lucas mentioned that they made several references to our realm so its reasonable that they were in our realm at one point. or at least a version of our realm
Visions Gallery had planned to showcase the work of Amanda PL, 29, a local non-Indigenous artist who says she was inspired by the Woodlands style made famous in the ‘60s by the Anishinabe artist Norval Morrisseau, who focussed on nature, animals, Indigenous spirituality and medicine.
But within hours of the gallery’s email announcement promoting the exhibit, there was a backlash, with people alleging that PL had appropriated Indigenous culture and art.
Chippewa artist Jay Soule was among those leading the charge. He argues PL blatantly copied Morrisseau with virtually no regard for the storytelling behind his work.
“What she’s doing is essentially cultural genocide, because she’s taking his stories and retelling them, which bastardizes it down the road. Other people will see her work and they’ll lose the connection between the real stories that are attached to it,” said Soule.
Artist surprised by reaction
PL said she first became inspired by the Woodlands style when she was living in Thunder Bay, Ont., studying to become a visual arts teacher and taking Native studies.
“I just tried to learn all I could about the Aboriginal culture, their teachings, their stories, and I’ve tried to capture the beauty of the art style and make it my own by drawing upon elements of nature within Canada that have meaning to me,” she told CBC Toronto in an interview Friday.
She was surprised by the reaction when her exhibit was announced, especially online.
“A lot of the Aboriginal people had issues with me not being native.… I feel like they think that I’m taking away from the culture, but really I’m not,” PL said.
“I think it’s a shame to say that an artist can’t create something because they’re not from that race,” she said.
“That’s like saying any other culture can’t touch something like abstract art unless you’re white, or you can’t touch cubism art.”
This artist has apparently committed “cultural genocide”
Social justice is the worst thing to ever happen to art.
Imagine if the greeks accused the romans of cultural genocide
I am Silver Tongue, I am an artist. I have many characters and you can check out my art in the art tag. I occasionally practice witchcraft though I don't do anything too complicated. I am girl 2 and don't know what else to put here.
