SNS is a risky place to be completely honest. I learned it the hard way, and I opened Patreon, understanding that “haters”wouldn’t sign-up. It has been a very safe place for me to be honest & I really appreciate the (financial) support there so we can focus on Sashiko & Sharing stories.

In the last few posts, I shared “How to approach the conflict/dispute/argument” in different culture.it still isn’t my intention to mention someone specific in identifying the issues. So, I shared it on Patreon. A comment there suggested that I share the article as it explains well about C/A. With specific examples, it can be elaborated easier. I have been wondering if it is okay to make it available to everyone, though.

First, I wanted to be fair. I notified my concerns to “them” as Comments. I got a reply. so I hesitated to make the article open. I received a question there from someone else, then I realized I cannot find the posts I left the comments on. In this case, I have to assume that my comments are hidden because it is inconvenient to them. It is one form of C/A, ignore & suppress the voice from Origin. Therefore, the article is available to the public now. I hope this article will help the mainstream to understand how/why C/A can happen & can cause major issues.

It ask everyone to be a Member to avoid trolls. It is free to sign-up, and you can opt out anytime. You can leave the comment there, or here, or anywhere for that matter. I am NOT a strong believer of Cultural Appropriation – but it does exist & I consider this case as the C/A. Please visit Patreon to read “Edited Version of Sashiko Story 207 for All Members” (https://www.patreon.com/sashiko). PS: I am pretty angry.

ここ数日、「特定の人を名指しで批難するのは如何なものか」という自問自答を続けていて。二つの文化間で足掻いています。とはいえ、何もしないのは違うので、直接、めちゃくちゃ丁寧に「”それ”は如何なものですか？」とコメントを残した訳です。それに対する返信もありました（とんでもなく表面的ですが）。そのコメントの流れで、第三者から私宛に質問があったのを思い出して、その投稿を探したのですが、見つからないのです。あ〜。不都合だから隠したんだなと。この場合「隠す＝抑圧する」です。完全に「臭いものには蓋をする」状態。

臭いには意味があるのです（？）なので、蓋をされたのであれば、臭いを強くして伝えるしかありません。というわけで、秘密部屋で書いた投稿を一部編集して（個人的な部分を除いて）、誰でも読めるようにしました。英語ですが興味がある方は上記のリンクから。会員登録が必要ですが無料です（荒しを防ぐ為です）。日本語では、あぁちょうど明日が配信の日。話す内容が決まりました。久々に怒ってます。えぇ。まさかそんな対応をされるとは思ってなかったから。
