As with most things it's not that black and white. Ngāi Tahu are actually the biggest polluters of the water supply where I live as they cut down acres of forest to create massive dairy farms. The creator of this software picked a really great name since it actually promotes NZ conservation. I've donated my time and money to plant native species in NZ and I find your position ridiculous. Does everyone need to run their language past some woke authority now to make sure it doesn't offend some guys on the internet? If you want to help out with conservation why don't you spend your time volunteering for one of the many tree planting charities?
- baconhigh 4y agoThe intentions of the creator of the product do seem genuine and worthy, but it's still cultural appropriation without consultation or acknowledgement of the tāonga behind the name. Just because you disagree doesn't make it "woke".
- berjin 4y ago> cultural appropriation Is a woke term. By the way they mention how you can donate to a Takahe recovery programme here https://jointakahe.org/about/ https://jointakahe.org/about/
- lostlogin 4y agoI think we can aim for criticism that’s a little higher brow. Whataboutism and dismissal of a position because it’s ‘woke’ is pretty unhelpful.
- account42 4y agoPeople have every right not to buy into racist concepts like cultural appropriation and reject them without further arguments.
