but I feel like death imagery kinda means something different to different races' cultures, yknow?
in europe it's like... we had this plague that wiped out a fucking third of our population. white people nearly went extinct, the rest of us were left so resistant to disease we accidentally all the brown people we met. living in a plague zone with piles of bodies everywhere made people go so fucking nuts they started painting goofy skeleton paintings. I think we still carry that with us
meanwhile if africans paint their faces up like skulls it means some kinda stupid voodoo shit that's obviously just a half-remembered telephone game version of some really basic-ass animist religion.
if latins get decked out in death regalia it's just a big party to remember your dead ancestors in gaudy fashion. that's kinda cool but not very, yknow? sugar skulls are gross. they're just sugar.
and i feel like a goth southeast asian would just be fucking scary. like they would actually make me feel the way old soccermoms felt when they saw kids wearing black
