Exactly. This gatekeeping of certain thing just for being white (more often than not done by white fake woke people) is absurd. A haircut is a haircut and it belongs to all humans. Or should people with dark hair be banned from dying blond? People with curly hair not allowed to straighten it. Or people with straight hair not able to curl it.

Ikr?!? This s**t's getting stupid. F**k everyone, every culture has had braids of every variety and hair of every texture, style, and color. So stfu already, with this bullshit "locals only" mentality. Get a f*****g lyphe

There's a bunch of people saying "educate yourself", has any of you asked the game developers why this hairstyle is available? If this IS the hairstyle you think it is? "Actions upsetting an entire culture" , the only people upset over this are white. How about we stop getting offended on behalf of others. If this issue is worthy of looking into - bring it up to the developers, bring it up to BLM, bring it up to the people who have some authority to say whether or not this is an issue. Jesus

Seriously though I’m not trying to br rude or racist but they prolly thought she was being racist when really she just wanted to enjoy the hairstyle

Bingo! There is no cultural “significance”, and sure, it is a tradition.. for every race. It’s called pigtails. My daughter who has incredibly curly hair looked like this when I gave her pigtails. (Dark hair though) Something that mothers have given their daughters for generations. It has nothing to do with color, it’s called getting the hair out of her face & she requested pigtails. - Our ancestors were French gypsy, Scottish, German, English, & Native American (who can actually trace the line). So tell me; who was my child appropriating as each and every one of those had little girls with pigtails? (As a direct descendant I actually embrace the term Gypsy.. so don’t start y’all) With this hair line of thinking we’re creating problems & division where there doesn’t need to be any. It’s your actions people. Not a child’s hair. Judge that. Better yet, get a life.

Well said!

ESPECIALLY if their color is white. The scold chewing her out about it is no doubt white too. Too much time on her hands.

I give u 444th upvote

Also a significant WHAT??? Yeah, I know it's *significance.

So black people have, for centuries, been blocked from jobs for wearing certain hairstyles that are used to keep their hair healthy (box braids, etc). White folks can wear those hairstyles with no negative repercussions. That's the issue. It isn't gatekeeping. It's recognizing that there is privilege in having white skin with certain hairstyles. It goes from working at the corner shop to the military to corporate settings. Educate yourselves.

Is it really your choice to make to use a different races culture without any context for 'fun' when black people obviously are told to cut their hair or straighten it?? Idk. I think none of yall understand the context and wanna be entitled as fcck. I just know that 90% of yall are white people again making a decision for yourself, when it isn't even your culture in the first place.

You can do whatever you want, but you're not immune from pushback when your actions are cultural appropriation and hurtful. Just think of Trudeau in blackface. That wasn't okay. Deciding afro puffs are "space buns" is also appropriation and not okay. There's context here the poster clearly doesn't understand.

I literally was confused, because was thinking of Princess Leia. How exactly are her buns offensive... ahahah

"Space buns" will always refer to Princess Leia.

Precisely!

Equating someone wanting to learn and be sensitive with being "offended" is a misread of the situation and an attempt to minimize what they're REALLY saying.

Everything is racial in the USA, EVERYTHING. These are same people that s**t on whites if they eat Mexican or Chinese food.
