I just felt like making a 'jak of the idol of the sun god our natives used to worship

greedy persongle Sol de Jayuya if this makes you marge

Do one for the Aztecs as well

Marge

@MenstrualCykill: Yeah I'll probably 'jak Huitzilopochtli next

@MenstrualCykill: Huitzilopochtli is the name btw

Marge

@PuertoRican: astonishing to me how people still worship him

@MenstrualCykill: Yeah, I'll do that later

@MenstrualCykill: They do? geg
This Boinayel I've never heard of anyone nowadays worshipping but I imagine some schizo probably does

gem

But no hate to natives of course

@Olgol: we have insults like "oaxaquita" and "cara de nopal" that people use against natives
It don't matter that much

@Olgol: There's mestizos here but all our pure natives died in the 1500s

@PuertoRican: mostly neopagan chicano flamboyant persons who live in the US or some people who live in the south of Mexico

Some mixed people identify as taino but I don't really understand that

@MenstrualCykill: Ah, for it to be with Chicanos is to be sort of expected yeah

@PuertoRican: grudges against the Spanish still im assuming

@MenstrualCykill: Most likely that yeah

@PuertoRican: some of my family members do that for some reason it's stupid
been centuries since Spain colonized us anyways im not sure why they just don't let it go

@MenstrualCykill: Haven't had any of my family members turn to pagan native gods, also, the natives are our ancestors, but the Spanish, Portuguese, French, etc are also our ancestors and we inherited a lot more of our culture from them, so I don't see the point in it either way

@PuertoRican: yeah I know what you mean, I prefer my Spanish side a little bit more but there's still some cool indigenous stuff

@MenstrualCykill: I don't disdain my indigenous side but I rarely think about it because I don't really know what we inherited culturally from it other than maracas and musical style

@PuertoRican:

Fuck the pagan religions though, that's the only thing I'll disdain

@MenstrualCykill: Well yeah of course, more common than syncretism with native pagan beliefs here is syncretism with West African pagan beliefs, most people don't do it, it's less than 10%, but it's a decent amount and it's kind of concerning. I am entirely unfamiliar with these pagan Yoruba beliefs, and I am pretty sure I have no relation to the Yoruba at all, but I know they are present

@PuertoRican: mumu ogun thunderstrike you
