Might as well have come from the Onion.[/quote]

Did you guys actually read it?   It doesn't sound like it.  It's just a story about an activist with a facial scar who wants people to think about sending the message that facial scars are "scary".  I appreciate getting new perspectives.

Some of you people are the real whiny.  "On no, don't make me think...I want to just continue running around being an insensitive jerk..."[/quote]

I am not sure “appropriation” is the correct term here. Most did not intentionally develop scars to be offended by others imitating them without doing the work. I see the point of being upset when scars similar to theirs are used to look repulsive or scary. [/quote]
The article didn’t use the word “appropriation” and neither did the PP, so why are you using one of the GOP’s favorite anger bait words?

And you could have just read the article. That’s pretty much what the woman said: some of us have real scars, it’s demoralizing for people with scars to see others use scars as something hideous. [/quote]

I was responding to the word “appropriate” in the title of this thread.

You are fighting the wrong side, ffs.[/quote]
