Nepenthe again following her usual modus operandi. Everyone else is an asshole, only she is in such an elevated position to be able to discuss these kind of serious topics. Imagine a mod having that amount of disdain for you for talking about fucking hair in a social media argument.
The majority of you are not capable of discussing hair, lmao. If you still post there, you need to have a word and get some self respect.
That thread was a great laugh to read.
I think so many of them don't quite understand how big the world really is and how small an issue like the name of a hairstyle is in comparison.
I can maybe understand it within a school classroom or something where drama kicks off easily and over tiny little things. Kids would want to avoid making mistakes as bullies are waiting to pounce on anything.
Some person you don't know from who knows where calls a hairstyle "space buns". OK. Just let them?
I love the way some of them will give it "well I've never heard them called space buns". Yeah, well the world is a lot bigger than just you are your social circle and local area.
It is bullying really. Imagine the kind of person who is coiled up waiting for anyone anywhere to not call a hairstyle the right name just so they can go on the attack.
The best suggestion was near the end of the thread where someone says that Nintendo could have avoided this by attaching names to all the hairdos in the menu.
So who wants to be that Nintendo employee?
"Hey guys quick idea for Animal Crossing. We'd better add names to all the hairstyles because black people will get mad if someone uses the wrong name for one of the styles." Congratulations on getting fired for being so racist that you think black people would get legitimately mad over something as trivial as some daft kid referring to "afro puffs" as "space buns".
I think the worst thing for them is the thought that there could be someone out there who just doesn't care. Some white dude cooking Mexican food wrong cos he just likes it that way. Some white chick wearing an Asian dress because she thinks it looks cute. Someone playing animal crossing and calling a hairdo Space Buns cos it kind of looks like Princess Leia's hair in Star Wars.
"Reeeeeeeeeeeee! It looks nothing like Leia's hair. Look at this close up! Don't you see the textures? Reeeeeee. I never heard it called Space Buns before you racist fuck. Reeeeeee. How could Nintendo even allow this to happen? Just add text so that people know the name of this hairstyle! Reeeeee!"
Nobody owns the naming rights to a hairdo FFS. Nobody is obligated to call hair or food or clothing a specific name just because thats what it is normally called.
