TREASON!

I'm pretty sure that seeking to cause the extinction of an entire species of animal is decidedly anti-nature.

For the record, people seem to claim that humans are the only animal that destroys nature, but ask tree farmers what they think about deer coming up and marking trees with their antlers and come back to me on that matter.

Wtf is ear pointing?

I'm willing to bet it's exactly what it sounds like: making yourself look more like an elf.

Looking at the post, I'm guessing this is a person who either wants to be an elf or is some kind of elfkin or whatnot.

Considering that in legend proper, elves are short and mischevious, I'm betting this is also fictionkin (probably LOTR-based elves)

Looks like someone had a big bowl of bitch flakes this morning.

Oh. I thought it might have been a weird social justice campaign against people pointing at their ears.

Your explanation makes much more sense.

I'm like 99% sure this is a parody but...

But when Sansa begins to live in the southern King’s Landing, she changes her hair to how one typically of the south.
Except Sansa is not of the South. She has no ties to the south, and is little more than a long-staying guest there. Therefore, she has no right to wear the styles of actual southern women.

^^ I dunno, based on the content of the rest of the blog and the followups they posted, I think it might actually be real. That, or the person running it is very dedicated troll.

To be fair to the idiot, they're using it as an example of how cultural appropriation is supposedly normalized in fiction, rather than an actual example of appropriation. It's still stupid as hell, though, and rather insulting for them to put it up alongside genuine cases of racism and stereotyping in the media. Adapting to norms in a new region when relocating (particularly when you're encouraged to do so by the people in said region) in order to gain acceptance is basically the exact opposite of cultural misappropriation.

She's the Queen in the North now, she can do whatever the fuck she wants.

The rest of the blog doesn't look like a parody. Worryingly enough. ETA: Antechrist beat me to it.

It's really odd because generally cultural appropriation is in terms of the oppressor culture taking elements from the oppressed and misusing them. The Crownlands are not oppressed by the North, if anything the power dynamics go the other way around. Blending in with the dominant culture is more or less the diametric opposite of cultural appropriation.

Also, 'long-staying guest' is hardly accurate. She was engaged to be married to Joffrey, the capital was to become her permanent residence. But that's nitpicking.

^^ But you managed to beat me to my edit, so it's pretty much a tie.

[Sigmaleph]

Well, we certainly seem to think along the same lines.

Basically why I said not 100% because I was looking through the rest and they seem pretty sincere. Or they're very good at being a troll. Like forfuturereference was.

But yeah, exactly. She was adapting.

It's just another slam against Sansa Stark and frankly there's enough of it without bringing SJW stuff into it.

You know, I always thought FFRO was a pretty transparent troll, although they did seem to fool a lot of people for a long time.
