This is going to be a bit long, but here goes:

As I’ve mentioned, I’m in Vietnam at the moment. It’s great, I worship at the altar of their food. However, today, while we were in a restaurant worshiping said food, it started to rain. Across the road was a shop selling, among other things, the classic Vietnamese conical bamboo hat.

Now, my view of cultural appropriation is that it doesn’t count if the object is a) being used for it’s original purpose, and b) being sold by people of that culture to tourists. Given that I wanted the hat to keep the rain off and they were obviously for sale in the touristy area of the town, I gave myself the green light and bought a hat.

The hat was awesome, but when I put it on, I suddenly had the weirdest urge do make a racist gesture pretending to be chinese. I didn’t. Because that would be fucking racist. But I stopped and thought- wait, why the hell did I even think that?

Well, that was easy to explain. Because every time I had seen a non-asian person wearing that hat in movies, they had done exactly that. The very act of putting on a hat had been connotated to something racist.

Fuck you Disney.

America is about to be that part in the lion king where where pride rock became all shitty bc Scar became king

have yet to see a better analogy

Are you implying Hilary Clinton’s daughter will assassinate Donald Trump because I’m okay with this

Actually, if we follow the narrative, I think it would be the Obama daughters. Which would be even MORE awesome.

Malia’s gonna fight Trump on the roof of the Whitehouse while it’s on fire.

Didn’t Scar get killed by the hyenas, who turned against him when he tried to throw blame at them while begging for his life?

The equivalent would be Trump cornered by both Obama sisters on the White House roof (yes, while it’s on fire, I can totally believe that Trump will somehow lead to the White House catching fire at some point) insisting that “we’re all friends against the Republican establishment, it’s their fault” and Sasha and Malia quote one of Trump’s tweets back at him to tell him to get the fuck out; Trump scurries away and runs right into Pence and Cruz. 

“Our fault, is it, Donald?”

Alternatively, since Scar originally gained the support of the hyenas by promising them a better life with lots of food, Trump is clearly going to fall off the roof of the White House into the arms of the Republican base that voted for him because he promised them a better economy.

Okay but then who’s going to dress in drag and do the hula?

Joe Biden??

Definitely Joe Biden.

Unfortunately, it doesn’t stand up because Lion King is a fascist parable where Scar is the one bringing the disenfranchised hyenas (who are starving btw) into the plenty of the grasslands but because the whole thing is steeped in nazi blood and soil garbage of course the land rebels against the untermench and oh gods I hate this movie so much it is straight up nazi propaganda.

Lion King is fascist dogcrap don’t watch.
