Angry Rambles - Blog Posts

I still find it damn annoying! Mythology doesn't belong to anyone. There are stories based on metaphors and phobias coming together to make sense to things people wanted to explain back then! If we can't use golems, then this means we aren't able to use greek monsters, like Cerberus, or Thor, or even the words Angel and the Devil......

Mythology was made to be shared and people do make stories to share with the world. The book of Enoch and Genesis became works that inspire many! This is not cultural appropriation is appreciation! Artists use these mythological creatures because they don't need to explain whole new beings, because they are already well known.

Again, if we can't use these, then why are they publicly known and open. If this information shouldn't be made public and not be used by others then it should have been a Mystery School!!

And I hope no one gets offended by calling religious stories mythology, because it is the right term. Mythology doesn't mean that it isn't correct. Just look up the defenition!!! It means a collection of allegory stories, especially one belonging to a particular religious or cultural tradition.

Thank you for reading my angry ramble!

Hope you guys have a good day

One thing I'd suggest is not calling him a golem specifically unless you're Jewish. Golems are apparently pretty dang specific to Judaism, and most of the answers I've gotten on "is it okay to use them in stories if you aren't Jewish" tend to vary from "Get a Jewish sensitivity reader first" to "No".

Then again, I'm not Jewish myself, so take that with a grain of salt, but I've seen a lot of posts from Jewish users complaining about people always calling every rock creature and fantasy robots a "golem" for several years now. I personally choose to err on the side of caution, though.

That said, Cementoss could still probably be a stone puppet or animate statue granted life.

Fuckening

Cultural appropriation is already bad now its just annoying when it's like "oh we've appropriated too close to the sun and now all mention of this word evokes the appropriation instead of the original".

I am saying this with frustration toward the people who yoinked the word, not those pointing it out.

Anyway yeah gonna need a new word but the creature description fits but also tbh Cementoss isn't gonna appear that much
