Because I'm not as smart as I hoped I would be by now. How's it feel conversing with internet strangers who are too dumb to decide whether quinoa or queso would go better on a sandwich? Huh, mister smart guy? Not so tuff now that I'm asking the hard questions are you?
The last time I was hanging out on Lemmy eating a fresh LGBTQ+ and had some of that white gooey Q running from the corner of my mouth into my beard, I had like 3 little sysadmins follow me home. Then my wife gets all weird and comes outside to shoo them away with a broom, yelling about how we already use Linux. And I'm like girl don't be so hasty to run them off -- see if you can borrow some of those thigh-high stockings first!
This is the kind of rhetoric that energizes the bouillabaisse.
How dare she blame Gayzpacho, when we all know that Vichyssoise Violence is the real culprit.
Imagine how confused the waiter must have been at the restaurant when she sent her Gayzpacho soup back and demanded to see the manager because it was cold.
The manager said “Use your Jewish space laser to heat the soup up.”
All part of the luxury gay space communism agenda
Simmer down, everyone. Romaine calm. Sometimes, we all bake mistakes.
BREAKING: Hungary has invaded and occupied Turkey! It has changed its country’s name to “Full”
It depends on your gender identity - if you're a man, bananas are queer, but for women, they're straight. Anything that non-binary people eat is queer. HTH!
Wtf is it with these exclusionary people always have to "YOU CANNOY HAVE DREADLOCKS THST IS RACIST EHITE PEOPLE NEVER HAD DREADS" and nice, sweet things like these...
Fuck you, I do what I want to do and if you're butt hurt because you don't like my food them find a therapist
I hate the term “cultural appropriation”. I love it when people take interest and want to participate in my traditions! That’s what makes being a human fun!
Sure, sometimes buttfaces will make caricatures of my people, but they will do that anyways and no amount of PC policing will ever stop people who want to be jerks.
Cultural appropriation is something like McDonald's advertising a new Indian burger and it's just a beefburger with some chillies in it, i.e. someone's attempting to gain from a bastardised caracature of the culture that wouldn't be something someone from that culture would participate in. Right wing pundits intentionally misrepresented it as things like eating a traditional dish from another culture to make it sound stupid so people would dismiss it, and then people who'd only heard the misrepresentation but wanted to do the right thing or at least appear to be doing the right thing started acting like it was immoral to participate in any culture you weren't born into.
I would call your example fusion cuisine, which is the best kind and an absolute win. I guess if I was feeling extra cynical I would call it pandering, but I still fail to see why it’s a bad thing.
It doesnt make sense to have a beef burger called an Indian burger.
You want a legit example of cultural appropriation? How about white ppl claiming for decades that rock and roll was invented by Elvis while he was ripping off Chuck Berry.
Or techno and house was invented in Europe?
Or the whole white girls in native head dresses mentioned below.
Another example is Western Yoga. It repackages Indian philosophy, spirituality, and associated physical exercise as wholesome exotic exercise for western women. Yoga and eastern philosophy and spirituality has entered the West from the 19th century on. It has developed its own practices, distinct and separate from the Indian original, while retaining the vocabulary and exotic trinkets around it. I don’t hear many complaints about that though, neither from Indians, nor from the woke (for lack of a better concise term). Mindfulness meditation has completely done away with the exotic decorative elements.
It can be difficult to draw a line between cultural admiration, idea exchange, intercultural learning, and exploitative appropriation.
A related topic that gets no attention in the USA is cultural imperialism. The USA is so dominant culturally, it suppresses and even extinguishes local culture and languages around the world, including Western countries in Europe. That’s not only rap music, Hollywood, and blue jeans, it extends to philosophical and political ideology. Terms like PoC and white privileged are mindlessly copied to Europe. Even though anti Slavic prejudice is widespread in Western Europe, even though they are just as white, or even more blond and blue eyed (Poles and Baltics) than Western Europeans. Turks, Greeks, southern Italians, Lebanese, Cypriots, and Israelis basically look the same, but get treated differently. Still people try to shoehorn this into the term PoC, instead of developing their own models, that fit the reality in Europe. It becomes more problematic when using BIPoC, as lots of countries in Europe have indigenous majorities.
This cultural political dominance lead to huge protests during Black Lives Matter also in Europe, even though it’s a minor issue in Europe. Drowning refugees in the Mediterranean die in far higher numbers, than from police shootings. Black Europeans usually don’t have a history of being enslaved either. Most came from Africa by their own desire. (White European) Activists still rather reuse American ideas regarding this, instead of developing their own more fitting analysis.
By that logic you can't call ppl out on anything because jerks are gonna be jerks. If ppl didnt call jerks out on their bullshit minstrel shows would still be a thing
Welcome participation in your culture is not appropriation.
Appropriation happens when a tradition is taken and decontextualized from its original culture, adopted by mainstream culture, and changed to mean something else without buy-in from the originating culture.
You know your culture has been appropriated when some rando who isn't even part of your culture explains to you how you're wrong about your tradition because it doesn't look like their mainstream version. For example, explaining to an Indian person that yoga is a physical exercise program where you continuously shift between isometric stretches.
It’s funny you chose that example. People forget (or are probably just completely unaware due to language barriers) that there are a ton of really kooky quack yoga gurus that were born in India, live their whole lives in India, and have a cult following of exclusively Indians. They say some absolutely batshit stuff and most Indians roll their eyes and mock them the same way that you do with the crunchy granola crowd here.
Sure, that happens and the two aren't mutually exclusive. It's kinda like the difference between a close family member shitting on your bed and some random tourist flying halfway around the world only to shit on your bed--it hits different.
I have asked four black people I know about whites wearing dreadlocks. The answers ranged from my cousin‘s Nigerian wife; „Haha, nah, it’s fine.“ to my neighbor „That’s something only white women care about“.
It’s a step on the spiral of moral purity, that doesn’t actually improve the life of any black person.
Sadly they are getting rarer and rarer, which sucks because KFC by itself can be hit or miss and sometimes you want a side of mashed potatoes and gravy with your chicken quesadilla. Luckily there is still a Kentucky Fried Bell relatively neare over in highland, the Long Johns Chicken that's actually in my city sucks ass though.
Let me start of with a basket of chips
Then move on to the pollo asado taco
I would like two pollo asado tacos with one beef chimichanga
On the chimichanga, I would like a side of sour cream
I would like tomatoes and onions on my quesadilla
I thought the white monsters were the gay ones though.
Sorry, couldn't locate a pic of a white monster in a frying pan on short notice!
Guess I have to do it myself like every fucking thing around this goddamned place.
...mom?
I like how it appears that you've just chucked everything into an inferno, which is exactly correct.
Yeah it's called cooking try it sometime.
"Cooks" with propane, blows face off
Taste the meat not the heat.
your username is aggressive to say the least so I'm glad the energy you are bringing matches that
Its like youre summoning a succubro.
Clutch!
It's fine. We'll just deduct that from your wages for today. Make sure it doesn't happen again please.
At least I still have my gayges....
that was just my name in college
Oh shit I love white monsters , am I gay?
Depends. How do you feel about rollerblades?
They’re fabulous!
One of us! One of us! 🌈
It can't hurt to try it out.
Welp, guess I better go tell my wife
No need - she told me last night that she already knows
Oh that’s a relief! …. Wait
Is Loona considered a monster?
Wait I've been drinking gay juice?!?
Are you casually admitting to appropriating gay culture?
I'm sorry I didn't know!
Ignorance isn't a defense it just makes you look ignorant.
How did you get in my kitchen????
Making it easy to recycle by separating the inner plastic from the metal and drinking it, to help a little with the excess plastic waste?
Nice.
My favorite sandwich is a bacon lettuce and tomato sandwich with guacamole. I call it a LGBT.
Give it some hot sauce for the +
You forgot the quinoa.
Quinoa sounds awful on a sandwich, it's gonna be all over the floor. Why not queso?
Because I'm not as smart as I hoped I would be by now. How's it feel conversing with internet strangers who are too dumb to decide whether quinoa or queso would go better on a sandwich? Huh, mister smart guy? Not so tuff now that I'm asking the hard questions are you?
I am pretty hard now that you're asking the tuff questions, if that counts.
I may have walked into that one, but I have to commend you for your witty ribaldry. Shakespeare would approve.

QUESO
no es un comida completa sin queso
Does that mean no trans fats?
Yeah no more, we’re saturated
Dammit, I already bought a chicken top pie.
I'll still let it be in my mouth.
Art is not a crime
Try the cream of sum yung gai.
Gayzpacho… damn, that’s cold
This is the kind of rhetoric that energizes the bouillabaisse.

What's a traditional queer meal?
As a gay man, Olive Garden's "Pasta e Fagioli" comes to mind.
But are you traditionally gay?
do you think maybe you enjoy going to Olive Garden not for the pasta, but due to the abandonment issues you have with your family?
after all, when you go to Olive Garden, you're family.
Thankfully, hubby makes a great copycat of the OG version.
Is there hotdogs in it?
Ass.
Penises
Peni
estrogen burger
Uhhhh... In post war UK, probably diethylstilbestrol with a cyanide apple for dessert?
thanks i was looking for dinner plans for the week!
Fudge.
I thought only packed fudge was queer.... dam have I been appropriating?
Tom Cruise is out.
Just load after load of heavy whipping cream
two hot dogs no bun for example
But a hot dog in the bun is not?
Hot dogs and... Uhhh... Corn?
Corn dogs for sure.
Mr Brains Pork [redacted]
Hare pie with dill dough
I remember when quiche was considered gay food, ahh the old days
Quiche then: "What are you, some kinda homo? Gaaaaaaaay!"
Quiche now: "Bro, look, I meal prepped my breakfast for the week. Protien bro!"
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Real_Men_Don%27t_Eat_Quiche
We have traditional foods?
Contrary to what is thought where I grew up I'm gay because I want to eat pussy not because I eat tofu
Want to naked snuggle a tofu lady now ngl
Are hot dogs gay?
EDIT: Is erotically sucking on hot dogs gay?
EDIT 2: Asking for a friend. I don't do that. I'm like super popular and cool and go on lots of dates.
EDIT 3: Still less horny than violet08
Hot dogs, brauts, really any kind of sausage. Also zucchini, carrots, you better believe egg plants are right out.
No hot dogs are tacos therefore their traditional Mexican fare.
I'll continue to eat lesbeans to my heart's content. You can pry my Bush's from my cold, dead hands.
What the fuck is a queer food? I'm queer are bagel bites a queer food?
It's just humorous rage bait.
Yeah It's called playing into it my guy
No, but bagels are a lesbian food
It is known
It depends on your gender identity - if you're a man, bananas are queer, but for women, they're straight. Anything that non-binary people eat is queer. HTH!
Hot dogs and bananas are pretty gay.

Making a pan-Indian beef burger would be complicated at best.
The more common example would be misuse of native American war bonnets at music festivals and the like.
Because its someone (usually white) bastardizing/stealing your culture while making money off of it.
And how is it fusion when traditionally Indians don't eat beef? Thats like calling a bacon cheese burger the Arab burger.
What do you think about t-shirts in Asia with bad English spelling, that resemble American colleges‘ designs.
Many Muslims and Christians in India eat beef. India is an extremely diverse country with many languages, cultures, and religions.
Btw. Indian Sadhus often sport dreadlocks as well. These are ascetic spiritual men, who do yoga all day, smoke weed, and live off donations.
Among the 101,000 surveyed households, 9,711 reported having consumed beef/buff. Using population weights given by NSSO to arrive at total population estimates, it can be said that out of 1.1 billion people, 83.5 million consumed this meat variety, which is around 7.35% of the total population.
It doesnt make sense to have a beef burger called an Indian burger.
You want a legit example of cultural appropriation? How about white ppl claiming for decades that rock and roll was invented by Elvis while he was ripping off Chuck Berry.
Or techno and house was invented in Europe?
Or the whole white girls in native head dresses mentioned below.
Or just Post Malone in general
I can keep going

As a black dude with dreads I don't care about white ppl with dreads. I just need you all to stop assuming I'm rasta or I'll sell you weed
Edit: white dudes with dreads are the biggest culprits and the MOST annoying about it
Ok, but do you have weed?
For reference, I look like John Lennon with longer hair and I definitely have weed. So the stereotype about me is 100% true.
Black dude whose hair cannot produce dreads: also don't care. It's a hair style.
Posts like this are proof positive of Dead Internet Theory, because surely no human could be this oblivious to an obvious joke
And you will be heckled accordingly
Cerspence is joking right? I sometimes miss satire, which this has to be, right? Because no one is this stupid. Right?
Yes
Thanks, I feel better now.
I hope so but, if not, I want to know which foods are queer. I need a list.
Bananas.
He runs a satire cringe YouTube channel so yes
Spotted dick?
Oh honey you bet I did
always glad to help my friend richard with his lifts
All the gay people I know eat the same kinds of foods I do. Uh oh.
They probably drink water too!
Yes, but do they breathe air??
We also eat cock. If you eat dick, you might be gay. Like, a small chance.
Or British. Which, in a thread about appropriating food, spotted dick makes me giggle even more.
I love to dive into a muffin!
soooo....is rainbow sherbet safe?
Only if you eat it in the closet
So no more morning bannas in my ass 😞
If you go down on the banana afterwards it cancels out the gay.
good to know
kfc has quesadillas?
In some places there are combo-stores of the big Yum Food brands...KFC, TacoBell, Pizza Hut. Usually just 2.
These are increasingly rare but the off-menu combination of items you can order is insane.
You want a popcorn chicken cheesy gordita crunch?
I'm at the Pizza Hut.
I'm at the Taco Bell
On Jamaica Ave?

Luckily there is still a Kentucky Fried Bell relatively neare over in highland, the Long Johns Chicken that's actually in my city sucks ass though.
The only ones I found wouldn't do anything off-menu :'(
You'd be interested in a YouTube channel called the studio revue /sam reid
Idk all I do know is I want 2 of those
Boobs.
Where?
Everywhere! Seems like half of everyone's got them!
Maybe it's from a kfc/taco bell
It’s pronounced “chicken bell”.
prepares Cock au Vin
Wait.. what?
Dick with wine? Sounds like Friday night, amirite? Err... For straight women, obviously. And gay guys. And handsome prime numbers that... Nevermind.
Don't worry, I'm only eating like a poor, gay person. Who, as a human being, is remarkable similar to me...
We all grew up in that place.
It still means the same thing. I guess the comprehension has expanded.
No more muffellata munching for me
Polla asado
Huevos con chorizo 😏
Let me start of with a basket of chips Then move on to the pollo asado taco I would like two pollo asado tacos with one beef chimichanga On the chimichanga, I would like a side of sour cream I would like tomatoes and onions on my quesadilla
Dafuq is gay cuisine? It is all food. Fuck that person.
Maybe this is a joke about excessive gatekeeping?
Impossible. There's no markup indicating humor. How dare you try to make a fool of me.
BBQ is pretty gay in my opinion
BBQ - 5 grown men spending hours together, thinking about putting juicy meat in their mouths after the sun sets
When your done stuffing meat in your mouth you come away with a sauced face
I'm not attracted to men, but... if one spent time cooking me delicious BBQ, I'd be tempted to at least give them a polite peck on the cheek.
Big Black Qock
You mean BBQ+
It's satire, he's a skit YouTuber. He's pretty funny too
Oh, thanks for letting me know.

it's satire

So i cant slurp down hotdogs anymore?
All the amazing dick shaped foods are completely off limits.
You can slurp them all you want! Just don't cook them. Take em raw.
Raw dog all the way
No BLT+G for you anymore.
