Put Down the Ducky if You Wanna Play the Saxophone ([info]chibikaijuu) wrote in [info]otf_wank,
I don't need a crash course in appropriation. I don't need to be hand-held and walked through everything someone is being accused of and why that's bad and wrong. I don't think the onus is on those calling someone out to educated everybody on the subject.

I do expect, though, that if you say "this person is doing some appropriative bullshit", "this person's work has elements of racism/misogyny/transphobia/etc", you will point me to example of them doing these things, instead of assuming that I am fully versed in their entire body of work. I expect to be shown examples, or at least be given names, of artists and styles they are appropriating from, because you also cannot assume that I am familiar with those works, either.

(The article did link to other articles about each of the individual topics, however the examples were somewhat limited. Particularly on the appropriation issue, which basically discusses how she has cribbed some of her persona and style from artists of color who are famous in their own right.)
