I mean, you're technically the leading expert on you, so that's a start.

Issues around "black hair" (I think is the most common word for it, but feel free to correct me if I'm wrong here) are certainly real and depressing.

I still don't think naming a child after a name you happen to like is so problematic (well, unless the name you like is something like 'Hitler' or will otherwise cause trauma and issues for the child). If using another culture's name is a bad kind of cultural appropriation, then either nearly everyone or almost no one is guilty of this (the former because people move and cultures merge and split, the latter being a reductionist take that all human genetics come from basically the same place and/or a "pre-world" language family).

I think cultural appropriation itself is a bit of a weird one. You have people like most Japanese who encourage people to wear kimono and other Japanese styles. I assume that's true in a lot of the world (I just happen to be more familiar with the Japanese side having lived here for about a decade). But is wearing clothing cultural appropriation? Is cosplay? My Japanese friends and wife encourage me to wear yukata and such, but I generally am just my jeans-and-tshirt self.

Speaking of, were all those Japanese around the Meiji restoration wearing suits appropriating Western culture. Is "Western culture" even a unified culture? Cultures have always borrowed, stolen, and shared. I think if something is intentionally done in mockery or some other way, it's not OK. Other than that, I think a lot of people are angry, often on behalf of others who may or may not actually be angry themselves.

Old legends about how the sex of a child is determined. Today, we know it's based on X and Y chromosomes. I assume the superstition morphed to state that "well, orgasm order, position, wind speed over the Sahara determine which sperm is selected" for which we have no peer-reviewed evidence to the best of my knowledge.

The US should bring back the postal banking system. Japan has one and I was surprised after moving here to learn that the US used to as well.

That's exactly why they did, although I'd argue something like Durendal (France's "Excalibur") would probably be better.

I mean　チンコ (chinko) is still censored on at least TV, so I think it's a little disingenuous to say it's the word. The actual word is 口蓋垂 ( こうがいすい - kougaisui) whose kanji mean something like mouth, cover, and zig-zaggy thing (specifically a type of Shinto zig-zag paper design, according to my dictionary).

Are you saying that if one ethnicity uses a name another can't? If so, someone should inform all the Japanese people named after various white Disney characters (not that it's a huge group, but particularly around Frozen there were some Elsas and such).

Again, this fails to cover both the cases of someone who is checking out mbin/lemmy for the first time as well as someone who does decide it's maybe more than a sketchy site and doesn't have subscriptions yet.

I mean, I do for a lot of porn and some other communities (I'm not personally into anime at all, so those are usually among them). There are still two issues remaining:

• someone may be browsing and, through no fault of their own, have such a thing shown that can get them in trouble with their job or other community
• it can impact first impressions of new and potential users who may just give everything a skip thinking it's only some shady/porn site.

I don't want to live in a bubble for one but, more importantly, a new user will not have subscriptions.

A simplified explanation is that early traction on a video determines whether or not the algorithm will recommend it. If you miss that initial window, you will never get as many views. As such, channels have to aggressively test and change the title and thumbnail to gain the attention before that window closes. And yes, I hate it

I browse by active and get this in my feed without having interest in it, so it's not just people specifically visiting certain communities.
