[Opinions] Re: Ozge
in reply to a message by Canielle
Before we even get to cultural appropriation, there's the little matter of how to pronounce this name. I don't think anybody who doesn't understand the Turkish language (which is very tricky as to pronunciation) will be able to pronounce Ozge correctly, certainly not without a lot of practice and certainly not with all the nuances knowing Turkish would give.
None of the possible pronunciations I can come up with for this sound attractive at all to me. But I'm not Turkish and my language doesn't work like Turkish.
Before you criticize a man, walk a mile in his shoes. That way, when you criticize him, you're a mile away and you have his shoes!
