I put so much effort into this y’all I know it’ll flop but I just had to express my love for @BiSHidol somehow😔❤️
Imma also gonna start actually spamming this everywhere so it gets views like a kpop fan maybe so we’ll see how that goes
@DRichSocialist @Potato_Farmer45 @Ninjapat412332 @SammieKant@DumbLumiThing If you’re not gonna go any deeper and dismiss my (relevant) argument then you can stop answering
¿Algunos danzantes se autodenominan como mexicas, por qué entonces no respetan sus canones artísticos (sobre todo en la vestimenta), su cultura y sus tradiciones?
No sé trata de pelear o hacer enojar a nadie, se trata de una crítica constructiva.
La recreación histórica mexicana ya es un hecho y poco a poco vamos mejorando.
Este es el trabajo en conjunto con todos nuestros amigos y compañeros quienes gracias a su esfuerzo podemos tener estás hermosas imágenes históricas.
Junto haciendo historia!!
I see other history/arch. accounts complaining about how pop culture depicts medieval Europe all the time though?
Maybe you're just not looking in the right places.
And yeah, fiction is fiction and I think artists, developers, writers, etc should be able to do what they want, but as you say, it also does impact how people think about and imagine real historical societies to be, so I think it's fair to criticize or give feedback to try to encourage authentic outfits and motifs, as long as you're not saying "IT ABSOLUTELY HAS TO BE LIKE THIS"
(FWIW, I also think pop culture misinforming people about how Mesoamerica was is an even bigger issue then it is with Medieval Europe: People at least have *some* idea of what Medieval Europe, Classical Antiquity, Egypt, Feudal Japan etc was like: They still know that Plate Armor, Churches, Castles, or Samurai armor, Kimonos, and Onsens etc were a thing.
With Mesoamerica? Most people literally don't even realize they had actual cities or writing, and basically think they looked live cave men with pelts, random feathers, just wore loincloths, etc, refer to the images in: https://t.co/kP4UEywxjc)
Please support this or share it around if you can, it's 75% of the way to the goal and it can make it if people help out!
This is for an animated project featuring Guatemalan/Maya folklore!
Everybody is focusing on his skin color
but I'd like to point out that he's named after a Maya king (pics), but leads a faction with a Nahuatl (Aztec, sort of) name (Nanatzcayan/Children of the Echoe), but then has a Black, African American(?) inspired design
Mixing cultural influences in a really haphazard way which treats all the regions Natlan is based on as interchangeable; and the fact that the designs, outfits, architecture, items, etc also don't really reference traditional Mesoamerican, Native American, Andean, other Indigenous, Africa, or Islander fashion, art, etc is also IMO a issue alongside the colorism.
Like, if Kachina and Mavuika etc had dark skin, would that really solve the issue when they either still don't have outfits that really reference the culture they're named after, and/or also are named after stuff from other unrelated cultures across the planet?
@_rawrell To misrepresent a well known culture/mythology with some of its characters is very different than to misrepresent an underappreciated culture/mythology with ALL of its characters. One comes across as ignorant and the other as a stylistic choice
