Building off of what DonutSlutshas said, this "guilt by association" mentality doesn't do any favors for people who are already self-loathing or have depression. If anything, this mindset exacerbates it. Not that these people(SJWs) would care, since misery enjoys company.

Which explains why EF has so many articles where they get applaud for ally-bashing.

Slightly off topic but am I the only one noticing that EF tends to be filled with a lot of internalized misogyny? It's pretty ironic.

Okay, I just want to know- where do these people live in which they seem to constantly come across these borderline-blackface "African Warrior" costumes? I consider myself a Halloween nut. I love seeing people in costume and I love frequenting Halloween costumes shops whenever they come around- and I have yet to see one person dress up like the "African Warrior" that she uses in that video.
I don't know where Kat Blaque lives, but I'm pretty sure nowadays in the United States most people are pretty well aware that dressing up in blackface is one big social "nope!".

Its selection bias. Out of the fuckzillion Halloween pics that are uploaded they comb through to pick out the racist ones and put them all together. Then they have a big celebratory fart huffing session about all the awareness they raised.
 
It's cultural appropriation for Americans to be descended from other cultures.
 
One thing they never bother to do in these articles is to give a proper definition of what cultural appropriation is.

Funny thing is, if they should raise a shitstorm about anything it's how zombies when from being symbols of post mortem slavery (basically the salves in Haiti believed that if they commit suicide then the slave owners would use necromancy to bring them back as a half decayed corpse that will mindlessly serve them) to now being a tool for escapism. Yet not a single one of them want to boycott The Walking Dead for cultural appropriation.

Then again, these people aren't very consistent to begin with.

That's because there isn't a principled distinction between "bad" cultural appropriation and shit they do themselves every day when they invent some new bogus oppressed identity. It's basically just cult jargon for the other.

I guess someone better tell them that their using iPhones and Laptops is made directly from women in third world countries

Cultural appropriation is any time a white untermensch so much as looks at something one of the POC master race does.

Don't give them ideas, I can honestly see them running with it. The fact that the modern western zombie has very little relation to the Haitian zombie won't matter to them. Poc did it, therefore whitey needs to keep away. In fact other cultures had legends about vampire-like monsters too, so I could see them saying Dracula costumes are cultural appropriation too.
 
Every culture on the planet has appropriated the culture of others. Would it be nice if, rather than a shallow coat, those performing the appropriation sent deeper? Hell yes. But suggesting it's bad on principle and attaching mindless and endless cultism to the process is fucking stupid.

Every culture on the planet has in it's folklore some kind of undead creature that usually manifests itself as revenge for someone in that society not playing nice with the rules. Which makes the appropriation crap all the more odious, how can it be appropriation when the empirical evidence is that the human mind, independent of time and geography, seems primed to think up such a thing?

Oh, silly me, that's history, and history is a tool to oppress "muh feels" , right?

Forgot where I was for a moment.
