    Hello everyone. At first i want to ask you not to send hate to anyone, we are all people after all.
    I want to say that i NEVER deleted any comments in the map call or here. (Only bot spam ones with adds)
    I was “ignoring” people just because i don’t know english at all, and i use google translator for communication. I knew that some people were talking about some issue, but I couldn’t understand what it was. There is no articles or videos on my language that I could found about cultural appropriation.
    About the main issue. I didn’t wanted to offend anyone. Me with my irl friends decided to do a map with river clan being in Ancient Egypt . I did only the script and some designs. I never wanted to offend or hurt anyone. I am going to be careful in the future. I am sorry for some people that got offended or hurt, because of it.

      There were plenty of russian comments telling you about the whole issue about this map. Even if you didnt know english very well, you should at least have tried to translate everything and put 2 and 2 together. Hell, you didnt even need to do that. You should have just realised it yourself as a basic moral that it is not okay to take something from another culture and reduce it to jewelry and eyeliner. Dont pass the blame to your friends or anyone else. You posted the map call, held contact with the animators, and released the map with a full knowledge of what was happening. Take down this Map right now and never put it back up again. Same with that spotted×thistle one.

Plus the idea of Leopardstar being more of an honorable and just queen, rather than the prideful spoiled brat in the series, makes it so much better!

      I would like to see a bit more diversity but if you read super editions and novellas youll find some have more to them than expected. Like windclan used to make tunnels. The reason they dont now is bc the leader didnt want to lose more cats to tunnel collapses. Which is understandable but if there are cats who still want to do it bc they loved doing it. They should be allowed. I thought it was a really cool tradition and its a shame the leader let fear end it

    I just want to say…
    To all those people who are saying this map is super racist and sending death threats to Kulta and the animations, you need to listen real quick
    First of all, most of the Americans who say this is racist aren’t even Egyptian. That means, you have no absolute right, under any circumstances, to say such things.! Its not your culture, your country, and Egyptians can speak up for themselves if they want to, we don’t have to do it for them, and they don’t even need speaking up for! I spent half an hour scrolling down comments and couldn’t find
    one hateful comment that was from an Egyptian and, (I am American too) Americans aren’t special! We aren’t superior to any other person out country, we can’t even raise our livestock and harvest our crips properly! (please read The Omnivore’s Dilemma) You can’t do this!
    Second, you can’t send death threats to Kulta and the other artists here. Death threats are illegal, they can land you in jail, (I think) but unless your stupid enough to say your address, you most likely will just get punished, if your reported. And I am BEGGING for those people’s punishment. Like I said in the earlier part of this comment, you have no right to say these threats in defense of strong
    people who like this map, so back off
    Third, I love this map! The designs of Leopardstar and the other’s were just perfect, and the music fit so well, its still stuck in my head after an hour.
    Kulta and the other many animations, don’t let the bullies in the comments bring you down. This art is amazing, and we wish you happiness and hope you are all proud of this beauty ❤️

      Dude it is just antropomorphic characters in aesthetics of ancient Egypt a culture that has been fully replaced by people of completely different ethnicity. Plus cats were considered gods in ancient Egypt. Animators who draw antropomorphic characters don't see animals as slaves but as creatures from whom we can learn and they wish their senses were as sharp. Egyptian gods were antropomorphic characters. But it is hard to understand for Abrahamic religions to understand such thing.

      I’ve always thought this… idk there’s no bad symbolism in the video. It’s just liking the jewelry they wore in Egypt. The song might be racist but I wouldn’t know, i personally think it’s catchy.
      Same with the pirate scourge video… there are still cannibal tribes out there, there are still tribes that wear bones.
      I do think it’s a little weird he would wear the skull of one of his warriors though, that’s the real problem 😂

They even have a goddess who is a cat named Baste and I adore her a lot tbh especially the culture (im still doing research ) , and i see this map fits it very well especially how the Egyptians have a special relationship with the felines.

  • @SplitMaw
    @SplitMaw Před 3 lety +2608

    Just wanna chime in and remind people that there is a difference between harmful appropriation and cultural appreciation. Let's not pull another Speedy Gonzalez and accuse people of making an Egyptian-themed AU of being racist just because it's set in Egypt.
    Ask yourself honestly what makes an Egyptian setting racist. Because it's Egyptian? Because it's something other than white culture? That's not inherently racist. There are plenty of middle eastern people in the comments defending the MAP and you're going to tell them they should be offended? People from other cultures love seeing their cultures being represented in media. Latino representation is a good example. They love seeing elements of their culture being portrayed, so long as it's not done distastefully (and you know, outside of the obvious greedy cash grabs from people outside the culture).
    Just because something isn't white-coded doesn't mean it's racist. Getting offended on behalf of someone else when they themselves enjoy the content is on you, not the creators.
    They didn't intend to offend people in making this, and watching it myself I don't see any kinds of racist stereotypes. I just see cats in ancient Egyptian-inspired outfits. Are we going to say that other similar-themed AUs are racist for depicting different periods of dress or different settings around the world?
    If middle eastern people are watching this and enjoying it then cool your jets. Quit assuming things are racist or problematic because they aren't white-coded.
    EDIT: I also wanna add that cultural appropriation by definition is "adopting an element of a culture or identity by someone of a different culture or identity." Cultural appropriation occurs when you give a skewed or inaccurate perspective of that culture, when you reinforce negative stereotypes, or take credit for the element of the culture you've adopted. They just put the cats in Egypt. They weren't trying to make a statement on the middle east or represent them as harmful racial stereotypes. Again, listen to the actual middle eastern people in the comments who are telling everyone they have no issues with this video and that they themselves aren't offended.

      I agree! It's like looking at the maps that have the cats drawn in medieval art style is culturally inappropriate for medieval europe.. how is a style racist?
      I even offered the question, how is Leopardstar considered in appropriate? Maskara, triangle earrings and a necklace? That combination is common.
      I even saw some people try to compare Leopard x Tiger to Cleopatra x Anthony in how cleo seduced anthony...but here's the thing that's why its also an au. In the end, Leopardstar stands up for herself. Aka becoming what Cleopatra was in life. She was more than a seductive lady,she was a bold leader who dominated over male counterparts not in love but in war. She was a FEIRCE WARRIOR,just like Leopardstar.
      Just because the cats have accessories doesn't mean that's what is defining them.

    Yes Egypt had lots of mixed cultures throughout its history like for example: Greeks, Romans and Arabs, but the Egyptian blood didn't mix and change that much and that's because for centuries we Egyptians had a golden tradition rule to marry our cousins, and that tradition is still present until now especially in Upper Egypt(from Assiut to Aswan), Although that tradition seems silly and bad from a scientific biological point of view, but that doesn't matter, silly or not we kept that tradition of marrying our cousins for centuries and that helped us to preserve our pure Egyptian blood not mixed as long as we could, and the result is what you see now and that is Modern Egyptians looks typical to their Ancient Egyptian Ancestors, just look at my skin color and Bassem Youssef's skin color we are almost the same although he is a Muslim who was born and lived in Cairo and I am a Coptic Christian who was born and lived in Luxor and there is almost a 1000 km distance between us, doesn't that tell you a thing or two about who Ancient Egyptians were and what they looked like?
    With all due respect for all the Black people and all the other ethnicities out there, but we Egyptians are special very special, WE ARE NOT Black or White or Yellow, Not Europeans or Africans or Asians, Not Assyrians or Persians or Israelites or Nubians or Greeks or Romans or Arabs or French or Italians or Germans or British or Turkish or Ukrainians, Not Middle Easterners or Caucasians or Mediterraneans or Levants or Amazigh or Berbers or even North Africans.

    Yes, probably, the participants and Kulta didn't know the meaning of many Egyptian symbols and had no idea about the personality of the singer, but is this a reason to put them down? Kulta is a minor, so guys, please, be calm lmao. All your excuses for criticism would work if it wasn't literal bullying and pressure on the person. Like wtf I open Twitter and the first thing I see is "don't support the hoster and the participants". just. oh..CONGRATULATIONS! you've just probably killed every desire in a person to create and develop in this fandom!! Why should we give person a second chance and be more humane? Naaaah. It's easier to cancel them :D
    Btw the fact that you like the work of someone isn't a guarantee that you like the personality of this person. It is time to stop the worship of famous and influential people and to relate to this easier. Nobody is perfect. Everyone has their own weirdness and tastes. And this is not a reason to throw garbage on a person because they enjoy someone's works. Just. Take. It. Stop this dumb and aggressive radicalism.
    I beg you, be more restrained and calm. Nobody deserves this shit. We all need support and patience. Instead of lashing out at someone, let's learn to accept their mistakes and find peaceful ways to solve problems. Sometimes it becomes physically unbearable to be in this fandom, it's very upsetting, we are capable of the best ;__;

Увы, я не могу точно сказать, как избежать подобных ситуаций в дальнейшем, никогда не знаешь, с чего люди могут обидеться в очередной раз, поэтому могу просто порекомендовать быть осторожнее и аккуратнее. Проблема с пониманием английского звучит очень натужно в твоём оправдании, так что постарайся почаще штурмовать какой-нибудь Гугл Переводчик, а комментарии с какой-то критикой или возмущением лучше не игнорировать - толпу очень тяжело успокоить. Горящую спичку потушить проще, чем горящий лес, так ведь? С тушением кстати тоже по-осторожнее, иногда может только ухудшить ситуацию. Иногда лучше успокоить свои эмоции и сходить отдохнуть, выпить чайку, подышать на балконе, а только потом уже писать ответ, хорошенько всё обдумав. Культура отмены - это огромная проблема, которая, увы, лезет из всех щелей. Поэтому важно спокойствие и только спокойствие.

      Unfortunately majority of this fandom is made up of people who live on the worst side of twitter. That is to say they will spread misinformation, bully, harass and slander all to fatten up their high horse. They want you to beg for forgiveness and even that isn't enough. They want blood, 90 percent of people here aren't even Egyptian. I think the majority care less about actually wanting respect for the culture than just wanting to be praised for putting down those who they vilify.
      I admit the map isn't perfect, but it was literally made of harmless fun. And now people are calling the host racist? Bigoted? Saying they support a ship that they don't? Just lies all of it. They don't even care to fact check, if you outright lie negatively about the host they'll believe it.
      I feel bad for the host and I hope she can move forward from this and not let these people get under her skin. They don't care about her at all after all. It's sad the community has degraded like this. Humanity actually.

      @@bluesheep7 I couldn't agree more. In fact every fandom has its toxic side with kids that like to make fun just... idk because THEY LIKE IT! For example, My Hero Academia (an popular anime) has the most toxic fandom ever that basically ship teenagers with teachers and hate to accept the fact that other ppls have different opinions. I was one of the "victims" that got attacked by one of the fans just because I was shipping two characters together and they weren't agreeing with me.

      I think there are parallels to Cleopatra and Leopardstar. Even the way they can be portrayed are similar (either as power-hungry and selfish or as compassionate and courageous). So I think it is a good choice, besides Leopardstar always reminded me of Egypt, even Riverclan can remind you of the Nile (they really relied on the river, just like riverclan). I think in this map Blackfoot is the real mvp since if he didn't stop, Leopardstar would just watch her subjects die.
