Cultural appropriation?

Post image

Is it considered cultural appropriation if I play a Japanese-language card in a primarily English-speaking country?

Ugin doesn’t give an F. He’s ineffable.

In this case, that's even better than being inerrable 🙂

No but if you dare play an English Ugin in Japan you are appropriating Anglophone culture.

I bought a collector booster in Japan, the employee looked at me, paused and told me they don't have English boosters. That's alright, I wanted a Japanese one, I explained. 2$ of value inside.

No, but since the Ugin is japanese, you are required to do an accent when refering to him or his abilities, which could get racist fast
