So law doesn't protect queer POC from having their experiences appropriated by white straight privileged people, but IT CAN protect said white privileged people from... POC people who talk about the assholes "intellectual property" that came from appropriation and lies.

The Amina Hoaxer threatened to sue Minal Hajratwala for sharing his "copyrighted material" about "Amina."

Hm. I thought it was possible for some reason, but you are right, given the context in this particular case it probably won't be that plausible for him. But who knows.

Still, for all I get, authors and big companies can sue POC if they use copyrighted material "based" on their own cultures; like fiction, media, etc. But well, I guess that's for another discussion. And I think [Unknown site tag] (and many others) already talked about that in the past.

Sorry -- I just meant that I wasn't sure that the law *in this case* is going to protect the privileged white person from "infringement". That first sentence sounds like I'm disputing the general trend, which I didn't mean to. And yes, absolutely, about corporations claiming & being legally supported in claiming ownership of material based on the cultures of POC.

Nah, I got you. I was just leaving clear why I thought it was possible.
