Image - photo of three young people with pale skin, two don’t have shirts and have a bit of neon face paint and a third wears a warbonnet and looks set to kiss one of the shirtless youths.
I am not really sure the significance of this picture, but it looks pretty amazing.
The significance is Imperialism, Colonialism, and Genocide. This image depicts the beneficiaries of the North American Genocide mocking their victims by mimicking them through tried stereotypes that were used to dehumanize them, making the public support their deaths and turn a blind eye to their suffering. The subjects of the image have donned cheap representations of sacred culture pieces of their victims, much like how some serial killers take “trophies” from their victims.
Enough significance for you? Amazing, huh?
“I have no point of reference for this pretty image, don’t understand the cultural background of what’s going on and also don’t understand how it’s really offensive to misappropriate another culture’s icons, strip them of all significance and put them in a new position with absolutely zero context beyond ‘pretty’”.
