People & People:
dis bitch
can we talk about all her awkward appropriation and her use of Japanese women as her ‘slave dolls’ who weren’t allowed to speak at all as part of their contract?
this bitch is like the queen of cultural appropriation
and this shit has always creeped me out, but i had no idea that she didnt let them speak…what the actual fuck?
peep the lyrics to “rich girl”:
I’d get me four Harajuku girls to
Inspire me and they’d come to my rescue
I’d dress them wicked, I’d give them names
Love, Angel, Music, Baby
Hurry up and come and save meso shes into having pet asian women to name and dress up? if that isnt some dehumanizing psycho shit then im a fucking unicorn frog
tbh i hope her and dita von teese fall of a cliff
*shudders*
I think it says a hell of a lot that I’ve never once seen these women’s real names and I have never seen an interview or even so much as a soundbite from them. All I know of them is those little doll perfumes and Stefani’s creepy ass music.
Gwen Stefani has made an entire career out of fetishizing and appropriating the cutlure of women of color, which she gets credit for only because she is white. Bindis on brown girls?!? That’s really not that creative or cool. A bindi on a skinny blond white lady??? Someone throw some money at her. And notice how the women are made up in the above photo - it’s not just japanese women that she is appropriating and fetishizing, it’s black and latina women too.
once upon a time i was silly enough to buy a pair of wedges by her brand, and there was a little brown girl character on the insole. so you can literally step on woc as you walk.
it wasn’t the only reason i returned the shoes but just lol wow
self-absorbed fuckin creep
this is so messed up
Don’t forget how she ‘loves dressing like a chola’. I bet there isn’t one brown group that she hasn’t tried to appropriate.
She did an interview with MuchMusic in Canada, and when the interviewer tried to ask one of the Harajuku girls a question, Gwen snapped, “They don’t talk!” (Or something like that.)
Also, didn’t she respond to Margaret Cho’s criticism by telling her to learn about the history of Asian (or maybe just Japanese) women?
the reason i’ve been having trouble getting excited for new no doubt stuffs…
Uh.. Is everybody seriously just ignoring that completely ridiculous Dita Von Teese remark?
