Non-issues like this are why people’s eyes roll when’cultural appropriation’ even has attracted up Animal Crossing Bells.Now that it has been a couple of months since the circumstance, I have this to sayInsisting on calling them’space buns’ when they are obviously afro puffs is weird.

I meanthey look like cornrows braided up into kinky pigtail puffs, aka afro puffs. They’re pretty different from, say, the odango wig that’s represented in the game (that looks more similar to what you buy when you google’distance buns’). The situation was pretty ridiculous, especially since it went the way I knew it would with… let’s say,’radical’ people chiming in to’stick it to’ people’oversensitive liberals’ or whatever other side of the spectrum boogeyman resides in their heads.

I agree after being fixed, I’d have only been like”oh ok they are called afro puffs, still they’re adorable right?” Rather than insisting they had been space buns, but whatever.

What I really don’t know is that this idea (and literal quote from one of those tweets) that”that is not for Buy Nook Miles Ticket you”. Certainly people (or allies) of races that have been historically oppressed can see the harm that can be done by attempting to re-normalise the concept that certain things could be reserved for people of particular races?I don’t think I could blame her for being defiant after obtaining 600 deranged replies on an entirely anodyne tweet. Her reply was far more level-headed than mine could have been.
