There is no debate. There are those posting comments here who think it's a Free Speech issue, but they don't seem to have read any of the columns or comments by People of Colour, Indigenous People, or others, because nearly all of them have said they don't object to White authors having non-White characters or White artists being influenced by non-White cultures. For a debate to occur, you have to agree on what's being debated.

The concept isn't wishy-washy, it's nuanced. It's like the legal concept of Fair Use or Fair Dealing. The operative word here is Fair. And I see very few comments here that are being fair to indigenous concerns. The reason copyright infringement cases end up in court so often is because there is no hard and fast rule as to how much borrow is fair and how much is infringement. Much of it comes down to intent.

Without even looking? You can see Amanda PL's work here: https://www.behance.net/AmandaPL Her paintings are clearly imitations and not merely inspired.
