How is wearing a viking hat cultural appropriation when they're literally sold in every other issue of Penguin Style -- User:EDFan 1234  5  01:20, 18 January 2019 (UTC)


 * Every issue, actually, with four clicks leading to the blue helmet. --  C  K   Admin  03:53, 18 January 2019 (UTC)


 * She was accused of cultural appropriation for wearing it when she is not a viking penguin. Simple as that. Besides, imo this points out the absurdity of the idea of cultural appropriation (the kind that is presented here). -- Penstubal (Talk) (Edits) 11:41, 18 January 2019 (UTC)


 * To be fair, I don't really think cultural appropriation as an idea would exist at all, unless Club Penguin Island is one of the most offensive places in Antarctica. --Chill57181 (Talk - Contributions  - My Articles )  16:17, 18 January 2019 (UTC)


 * Star Kirby12 wears a Viking helmet and is an adelie penguin, and has presumably never been called out for cultural appropriation. EBUL has never been criticized for selling viking helmets in their catalogs. There was never any outcry over the Haunting of the Viking Opera for being culturally appropriating Viking penguin culture. No one seems to mind the fact that a power card can summon a pink viking helmet over a penguin that allows them to sing so loud to the point of a summoned avalanche. This is because in penguin culture, no one cares or would care. Stop trying to force in real life situations that don't hold a place in this universe's setting and continuity. You can't keep defending these objectively bad choices just for the sake of you having no other ideas for her characterization. And to claim Club Penguin is a melting pot which is why nobody cares is moot, since that seems to impact further backlash for the "misrepresentation" of a culture. And while you could argue the circumstances would be different on Moon Island, because I know you would eventually, the article for Moon Island itself never mentions any specific ethnicity of penguin to be present on the island, just that they were "tribal penguins", which I'm sure you'll try to correct now so that Scrubette can fit into this narrow worldview you want her to experience. Stop forcing this garbage. --Mario Rk UBER-Kermit.svg 16:33, 18 January 2019 (UTC)

 * Name-calling does not excuse lazy writing. --Mario Rk UBER-Kermit.svg 16:46, 18 January 2019 (UTC)


 * Neither does being whiny and harsh over something so minuscule make your point better. Also, hi pot, meet kettle - would be nice if you implemented the name-calling rule on yourself and your friends when you talk to me, Brant, Quacker and Wonder too. -- Penstubal (Talk) (Edits) 16:51, 18 January 2019 (UTC)


 * So I try to genuinely criticize you and give reasons why your decision with Scrubette makes no sense, and your response is to ignore the criticism and proceed to derail the conversation to other issues that do not matter in this conversation? I mean sure go ahead and do that. --Mario Rk UBER-Kermit.svg 16:55, 18 January 2019 (UTC)


 * You can not expect people to reply constructively to you when you speak to them in a harsh tone and call them or their work "garbage". You have every right to speak in an assertive tone, but that does not mean everybody will put up with that. -- Penstubal (Talk) (Edits) 16:57, 18 January 2019 (UTC)


 * Frankly this needed to be said a long time ago. --CanadaFlag.png Bro  Talk to me! OHYEAH.png 22:34, 18 January 2019 (UTC)


 * She's a scrub by association because of her husband being Penstubal; that's why she's specifically targeted I guess.  Penguinpuffdude Hiking.png  It's time for a chat, no?    00:43, 19 January 2019 (UTC)


 * You could argue this point, however if you read the article you would know that Scrubette was targetted far before she ever had any contact with Penstubal's character, and even then never romantically perused him prior to 2030. Regardless, the conversation of the needless cultural appropriation is over. --Mario Rk UBER-Kermit.svg 18:19, 19 January 2019 (UTC)


 * She was targeted because of who she is and because of her clothes by bullies who found it looked silly and found ways to laugh at it. Her getting married to a scrub just made things worse for her, but the mocking of her viking clothing continued until the end of her life because of bad people who like making others feel bad. -- Penstubal (Talk) (Edits) 18:25, 19 January 2019 (UTC)
