[QUOTE="kunadam, post: 8968947, member: 57610"] I would like to understand what is cultural appropriation and what is being insensitive to someone! Pseudo medieval settings are caricatures of Europe. They do a miss-mash of countries and cultures. They missrepresent religions, concepts, values, etc. And no-one blinks an eye. Why is it that we feel that we can bastardize, twist, misinterpret someone else's culture and heritage [B]if[/B] those people has a similar skin hue? By claiming that all Europe is just one culture, we do exactly the same mistake as treating all "Asians" as either samurais with different named weapons or monks with different martial art style. It is never about the number of people you offend, but the fact that you offend. If you use real world names, places and cultures then it is a problem. If they are not real world just "inspired by" then there should be no offense. We think we know these European tales. But our knowledge is probably 90% false, and our caricature of Asia might be more accurate. Most supposedly Greek stories in cinema nowadays are utterly wrong. And they are like a Norseman vowing on the river Styx because they are true believers of the god Buddha. [/QUOTE]
