Did an Insomnia gift her that or...???
I'm not sure but this is the tweet that Yoohyeon sent with it. It was after the Chicago concert from the World Tour in 2019.


But yoohyeon has also worn a Trans awareness badge:

It's not even racist man. They are just stupid on there. like all social media, it has its fair share of morons.... sigh.
I don't see how borrowing a word from anothers culture is even racist at all. : /

if it was degrading the word then sure it would be but it isn't.

I was just about to say in my last post. It's honouring them if nothing else. :) As you say.

@Keihatsu another thing to add. I remember reading an article at my Alma Mater (not a scholarly one, but a blog style article) where the authors claimed that simply watching "white" people pour soy sauce over their rice was traumatizing and wishes they would stop... or using Zen as an adjective to describe something as peaceful, was degrading the culture it came from. lmao.. I even remember @Jimimis and I having the conversation about use of Catholic saints used in Pagan Caribbean traditions, which constitutes the actual definition of cultural appropriation (take a cultural artifact and using it out of the context of its original culture). But yeah this stuff with dreamcatcher is negligible
