I need to voice my frustrating and discomfort with Marisha and Matt appropriating Maori culture for Keyleth's people.

Some twitter threads:
And I'm getting the sense that maybe later Marisha acknowledges this and apologises (although the poster of the tweets wasn't entirely happy with it I think) but didn't ask any of the fans to stop using it as well? I can't speak to future events, but just watching this through right now as a poc who knows what's happening is so uncomfortable. I love Avatar and elemental druidic magic, but every time someone uses kaitiake incorrectly and inappropriately I get taken completely out of the moment and it ruins the interactions tbh. Which (on top of being, you know, cultural appropriation) sucks because she's my favourite character. TvT

I love CR, but it's very white, and you definitely feel it while watching.
