The thing with a/pep worship is that it’s basically a similar issue to cultural appropriation…. Not that kemetics are being “oppressed” by it or anything like that, but that it’s kinda a dick move.

“Oh hey I read one thing about a much larger and more nuanced thing that you have a lot more research, study, and personal experience with, and I’ve just decided based on avague interpretation of one word related to it that it’s mine now and am going to interpret it in a way that is antithetical to the historical AND modern revivalist culture(s) it came from… AND I’m going to demand space in your community that i already disrespected and distanced myself from.”

Whelp.

I was thinking it but I wasn’t going to say it…
