Kim? She's actually been a very good businesswoman and is one of the main reasons the Kardashians are even still a thing. But this....she should have known better.

She isn't saying it's a literal kimono, it's just a pun on her name. It's terrible, corny branding, but I'm not sure I'd go the cultural appropriation route

I would give zero craps about Kim Kardashian calling her stuff kimono, as stupid as it is, were it not for the fact shes apparently trying to trademark the word.

Thats too far and I hope she gets screwed

It's not a difficult concept. The name of the brand is Kimono. The product is not a kimono.

she adopted (i.e. appropriated) the name of a garment that has a lot of cultural significance for the sake of easy recognition

there were a ton of other "puns" she could have made that don't do the above

so, again, let me ask: how

dense

are

you

did you even click on the link

a lot of people do

-

so like, for real, though:

you commit animal abuse

didn't write yourself up for said animal abuse

demonstrate basic evidence recognition incompetence (i.e. you didn't click on the link; dgaf if your post was supposed to be rhetorical)

and when you finally do click on the link in response to this, you'll probably still dismiss it anyway since it's majority japanese people who feel slighted by it (i.e. ethnocentricity - i.e. discrimination)

-

bro, you are like the walking embodiment of self-defeat

and you wonder why people have shitty views on cops

kinda makes you think, huh

Kim Kardashian filed for a bunch of trademarks on the word "kimono" (even for actual kimono), which, if granted, would allow her to ban Japanese companies from using the word "kimono" in America.

This has nothing to do with self defeat

And this has nothing to do with cops

Nice resorting to ad hominem

You are having a meltdown over something so stupid and pointless on Twitter. Talk about self defeating

that "ad hominem" didn't invalidate anything i said, you nerd

and don't accuse others of having "meltdowns" when you actually, regularly legit mark dudes for moderation on an online message board

In my belief I saved my cats life. Ill do it again in a heartbeat.

So far

Youve insulted two users. Attacked me 3 times about 3 different unrelated things to the topic. Somehow brought what my occupation into this. Also name calling me like someone who cant talk in a civil matter.

You sir need to calm down
