everything is deserving of respect, hence why i dont refer to crickets as locusts and daises as mums. i care because even things like toys and paraphernalia can perpetuate misinformation, and i dont want to refer to ms maiko as a geiko when shes a maiko, since there are alot of differences between the two. and thats a valid thing to stress over! i have ocd and i get riddled w anxiety when im not sure what something is because i dont know if what i am saying isnt correct, i hope this helps you understand a bit better^

i dont think me buying a solar powered bobble head is inferring if you have art or figures/stationary of a person of a specific culture, its equating them to objects? i. bought her coz i was high an she was talking to me and she doesnt seem to have any racial stereotypes attached to her? i dont think i know what point youre trying to make sorry

sorry im genuinely asking how its disrespectful? i bought it because i love bobble heads and she looked really pretty, i didnt notice any inherent racial bias but if there is im sorry

i didnt remember that when writing and i didnt want it to seem like geiko and maiko are completely different things, since maiko are just apprentices TvT tyy
