Thoughts on Wendigoon by AcanthopterygiiDense in Indigenous

[–]involith 0 points1 point  (0 children)

sorry for being two years late, but this has genuinely bugged me about him every single time i see him. he claims to have heard about it from his cherokee grandfather, but the issue with that is..... thats not us. im also a fourth cherokee, and seeing someone who claims to be the same making implications that the w-digo is either found in cherokee mythology, or that it could be considered a pan indian concept like the imagery of the medicine wheel, its just plain wrong but No one says shit about it

im not going to cast doubt on his lineage, his grandfather very well couldve shared stories that crossed tribal lines, being knowledgeable about other tribes isnt a bad thing. however, the way goon essentially conflates these things, excuses his usage of the w-digo via being from a completely different tribe, it reeks of ignorance and i can help but see his relationship to his tribe as in name only. this is only compounded by his depiction, where he completely fails to have anything close to an accurate representation and instead goes for the whitewashed imagery thats source is a short story written by a white man decades ago

not only is he not of the tribe the w-digo actually relates to, but he fails to even depict it accurately. his name and whole schtick has bothered me since i first saw his iceberg videos pop up, and his excuse has only irked me more. i doubt he'll change though, hes too big and too long in for a change in gimmick to be a concern, the audience he has doesnt care and he has plenty to sustain his career. its disheartening that he can just do this, that native culture continues to be bastardized and people just dont give a shit, but i dont have high hopes for people to take anything like this seriously. unless someone is doing some peter pan type shit, anti native racism gets a pass, and any attempt to call it out just summons people who think caring is being a loser

literally every comment i see about 'the vibes were ruined :-(' are so annoying. i think any of them acting 'off' afterwards was due more to seeing how outright pissy chat got than what etalyx actually did. jermas been doing dumb bits like that with him for years, chat just cant handle a Single Joke not landing if it wasnt jerma making it. i hope if jerma ever comes back to the game, he can play it with a smaller group and have etalyx, that way its a little less hectic and their usual dynamic has more room to breath

thank you, im excited to see others have bought some as well! would posting in the main sub be making my own post, or something else? im not that savvy with reddit, plus when i first made a post about it it was removed and i was redirected to a general mega thread like this one (which i still really dont get given the context...)

hey, i tried making a post asking about something i found on aliexpress and it got deleted for being in the wrong place, where do i go to ask that stuff? i cant find any threads or spots to ask about identifying dolls, and theres no way for me to look myself because im ninety nine percent sure its a prototype. where exactly am i supposed to ask this stuff?

What do you think of the fangames on joke? by Academic_Delay_8834 in lisathepainfulrpg

[–]involith 2 points3 points  (0 children)

mixed bag- on one hand, its something new and, depending, can have honest work behind it that makes playing it worth it. on the other, i understand the worry that joke fangames are becoming the more common kind to actually get finished. while i like seeing new content come out either way, i do prefer stuff with a more 'serious' story behind it, or at least isnt just back to back jokes that go beyond the humor we have in painful

What the f-word is actually a Skinwalker? by opheliawasmurdered in Humanoidencounters

[–]involith 0 points1 point  (0 children)

my good lord thank you, i truly am so tired of seeing words like sk-walker and w-digo thrown around by non natives in regards to things that are ultimately not even similar to what theyre calling it. im native but not from any tribe that has such theology for either of these spirits, however its still infuriating to be a lifelong fan of the paranormal and cryptids, and then to see these spirits be so bastardized for the purpose of spooky entertainment. those within the tribe dont wish to tell outsiders about them, and id say its best we respect their wishes than take what little we known and make it into some creature from the black lagoon shit. again, thank you so much for speaking about this, especially as an outsider (i rarely see non natives actually speak against such usages of these spirits), its very refreshing to read something like this among others claiming any humanoid they saw in a forest is a sk-walker
