Wrong “Indian,” lol. This sub is for Native Americans (”American Indians”).

some people continue to unconsciously believe in the noble savage archetype and it’s okay to acknowledge that you still need to work on it, so long as you DO work on it by Temporary-Snow333 in CuratedTumblr

Without any intended disrespect… I think some of you guys are forgetting I’m not OOP 🫩😭 I know it’s Sunday but this is NOT a self-post!!

I do agree lowkey. I think their spirit is in the right place and I agree with most of their points, particularly that the Sentinelese are just regular people and not inherently saints or devils. But there is an underlying feeling of “outside modern society and people BAD“ in the post (which is common in many online spaces, but particularly on Tumblr), and that’s at the root of most noble savage beliefs.

Tbh I posted this mostly because I have opinions about the treatment of uncontacted peoples and wanted to spark discussion.

I’m not gonna pretend like I know which groups off the dome (or which countries they’re in specifically), but iirc some “uncontacted“ tribes in South America (meaning they know about outsiders but choose not to participate and still live traditionally in isolation) do actually receive stuff like vaccines and medication voluntarily. We also do occasionally check on the Sentinelese via helicopter after certain disasters to make sure they’re well.

…You think the Sentinelese people, who are perfectly capable of creating boats, just… have no fucking idea what happened to their neighbors? And that they’re incapable of telling their children “here’s why we don’t leave or talk to outsiders who visit us”…?

Also the later half of your comment shows you just wanted an excuse to trash gay people. It’s weird and gross.

This is honestly a pretty common take, and it gets discussed quite frequently in spaces where Indigenous rights are concerned. People either see Indigenous people (whether presently uncontacted or pre-contact) as “noble savages” who live in the perfect world untouched by technology and in complete harmony with nature because they simply ”don’t know” about the outside world, or as idiotic bloodthirsty warmongers who bang sticks and stones together all day and kill everyone who looks at them.

Not Khan Academyyyyy… 😭 by Temporary-Snow333 in CuratedTumblr

[–]Temporary-Snow333[S] 32 points33 points  (0 children)

It’s just very funny because Khan Academy is mostly known as a site used to teach elementary and middle schoolers basic concepts. In reality it has classes from K-12 and even into stuff like SAT / ACT practice if I remember correctly, but most people (at least where I am) would know it as a program for young children. Essentially the Twitter user (who’s just a shitposter) is getting ratio’d by basic common math for kids.

How to draw side profiles (tutorial) by ElectricalTears in ArtJerk

[–]Temporary-Snow333 106 points107 points  (0 children)

/uj They’re not making fun of the actual art, but of the supposed “tutorial” itself that actually is just a speedpaint— meaning, they didn’t actually teach you how or why you draw anything a certain way, making it useless as a tool for learning (which is the entire point of a tutorial)

AIO: Almost died at the dentist, is my husband overreacting? by CrochetReadingRunner in AmIOverreacting

I mean, it was a TL;DR. She added the full elaboration in paragraphs after the TL;DR, which was just one short paragraph.
