Yes, of course, what do you think I'm contrasting the current situation to? Adopting the aesthetics of a people but not their actual culture is a fairly common understanding of what cultural appropriation is. Frank Herbert at least had some fairly interesting commentary about culture that is easily confused with endorsing fetishization of cultures at first glance, but if you read all the books it's clear he meant it as damning criticism. I'm excited to see the movie—this is incredibly bland criticism compared to what other have to say about the movie. Still, if you love something, you're honest about it. > One mans "Cultural Appropriation" is another man's "Cultural Appreciation". Uh, sure, if you just want to throw the entire concept of discourse out the window.
