Writers should be Cultural Appropriating all the Awesome Stuff

Writers should be Cultural Appropriating all the Awesome Stuff
Some people just want to be angry. "Look, if you’re an aspiring author and this Cultural Appropriation nonsense has scared you away from writing what you want to write, you’ve bought into their con. Screw that. Write what you want to write. Because here is the ugly secret, no matter what you do, if they don’t like you or they get a bug up their ass about you, they’re going to attack you somehow anyway. So you don’t write about any other cultures other than the one you come from because you are scared you’ll be committing Cultural Appropriation? Okay. But then they can attack you for your lack of “diversity”. Damned if you do, damned if you don’t. See? It’s a con game. The only way to win is to not play at all. Write what you want. Write what you think is awesome. Don’t let bullies scare you."
