Nope, that’s not what the post referred to. It referred to persistent/consistent.

How about instead of rambling word salad you answer the question & explain what it was you’re saying that you keep insisting you weren’t saying :)

Another common tactic, pretending something is confused or not understandable when you perfectly understand what the post meant. Everything you do is dishonest

Persistent and consistent is another example of distinction with a difference.
Those two words mean two different things.

In this case they do

Actually, asking a question is not a tactic.
Common tactics would be denial, obfuscation, & refusal to elaborate.

Look just to let you know, don’t. You can quit with the tactics, they won’t work. You’re not aiming for the truth, you’re playing the same game you all do but it’s not going to work. I don’t know how it ever works for you.

The definitions of these words are not contextual.
Persistent: persisting/persevering in spite of opposition
Consistent: invariable

More word salad & refusal to respond to a question.
I do know why you won’t elaborate, for the record. It’s just a lot of fun to watch you try to avoid spelling it out.

The question was answered way back. This is a tactic like I said and you’re just frustrated because it’s not working and your programming hasn’t told you how to deal with that.
Posted on 7/14/25 at 1:40 am to DeathByTossDive225
Of course persistent and consistent can by synonyms. Jeez you’re not too bright

You’re telling me you engaged in back and forth avoiding answering the question for two full pages rather than simply answer the question.
Interesting.
You look ridiculous here & I’m satisfied with that. Gnight sweetheart.

I engaged you misrepresenting what I posted. Now you’re misrepresenting that also.

This is from the writer
quote:
The film critiques the historical and ongoing systems of oppression that have exploited Black people for their labor, culture, and very lives.
The vampires represent those who seek to steal and exploit Black culture, specifically music, for their own benefit. Their vampiric nature symbolizes the destructive force of cultural appropriation, where the "gifts" of a marginalized community are taken and transformed, ultimately leading to the loss of unique identity

I think that movie could exist but I don't think that was the movie put on film.

Actually have to agree here the concept “cultural appropriation” is dumb, and a poor label.
No one is going to accuse Allen Stone or Stevie Ray Vaughan of it, because they’re engaging R&B with respect and understanding.
It’s people like Madking where I wouldn’t mind someone trolling them with the term. People who love the blues, but whom Buddy Guy would probably tell to frick off after 5 minutes of conversation.
Extreme example would be comparing sweet sweetback’s badass song vs Spielberg’s the color purple. Or take the story from this movie about the guy who was in the traveling prisoner band.
So ultimately I understand the point, but the term itself is pretty stupid / sounds like it’s just straight up suggesting that mixing culture is bad.

The problem is that there are those like the writer who refuse to understand or acknowledge that every single culture that exists is guilty of it. Even many of the things that are seen as staples of the black community culture, were largely taken from another and adapted. It is how the world works. You see something someone else does that you like, immitate at first and then adapt to fit you better. Acting like this is somehow a negative is the height of absurdity.
Exploitation is a different thing. People like the writer have decided that any use of one specific culture's things is exploitation. It is victimhood mentality through and through.

Yeah I agree with all of that, except I’m not convinced the director doesn’t have a more nuanced opinion on this (although the author of the referenced article definitely does not lol).
But yea, I generally agree with you on this one.
The explanation that “it’s appropriation if there isn’t respect / understanding, but not if there is respect / understanding” is clunky and easily buried, which highlights how poor the terminology is.

Yep. I think the movie was a solid 7/10, so not using these points to try and shite on it or anything, more to the larger discussion around the term itself.
Within the context of this movie, even blues music took a lot from the ballad and work songs passed down from european immigrants that settled in the south. So, while the blues is 100% a black community creation as far as a genre of music, if we are using the term how most use it today, is also guilty of cultural appropriation (which is why, as you agree, the term is so ludicrous).
