10/27/2024 update: I think my article got deleted or I didn’t copy and paste it over. Come back to me in a few days.

OFF TOPIC: The Colts keep playing awfully. I don’t think it’s Anthony Richardson’s fault completely….And this is another topic. This is coming from a frustrated Colts fan.

And I’m going to rewrite this but AI’s definition on Google:

Appreciation of a culture becomes appropriation when the act of taking and using elements from that culture is done without consent, permission, or cultural context, and is done for personal gain.

On a personal note, this is why I don’t wear cultural type Halloween costumes for Halloween.
