how does Houndoom hear without ears

I don’t know and it’s lack of ears greatly bothers me :(
Tempted to edit him and add ears in to see what it looks like.
I enjoyed reading all your theories on how Houndoom hears! My guess is either it hears through its horns somehow, or there are bird-like holes covered by fur near the base of the horns.
Regardless, I couldn’t help myself, so here are two versions of Houndoom with ears. Do you think it looks better, or cursed?
And one floppy ear variation, just for fun :)
Many people think the problem with cultural appropriation is inauthenticity (vague, nebulous) rather than marginalized people functionally getting robbed
The discourse afaik started with the very real and very insidious practice of white producers functionally dominating Black music for decades, paying Black artists peanuts or nothing & pushing for (better-paid, more mainstream-palatable) white artists playing in Black styles. In the sphere I'm most personally familiar with, it looks like most indigenous artforms that white people encounter in their lives being produced by and for settlers, and the profits largely being aggregated to settlers while traditional ndn artists struggle. I think using the terminology and losing sight of the economic damage - especially in favor of more nebulous frames like cultural authenticity - is doing real harm by dilution and contributing to the very thing it purports to fight
also the stuff being appropriated is often literally stolen. indigenous art, goods, and religious items have always been stolen, looted, or just extorted for pennies from the people to whom they actually meant something, and sold as cool decorations. knock-off copies were made to be toys.
mormons and catholics have quite a lot of jewish torahs whose provenance terminates at the holocaust. ditto sabbath cups and candlesticks and passover services. there's a lot of nazi loot stashed under the vatican, and no effort whatsoever to repatriate it to the people it was violently taken from. christians play dress-up with the prayer shawls of murdered jews and then get sulky when the victims' living relatives aren't cool about it.
and even now, recently, just a little while ago, iraq and afghanastan were looted on a huge scale, and artifacts showed up in american creationist theme parks.
naming it as theft and recognizing it is an economic injustice is only fair. the victims are looted for trinkets and toys, the perpetrators count up the profits, and the clueless recipients of stolen goods get their feelings hurt to be scolded when they're having fun.
Yep
this doesn’t just block nonbinary people it blocks anyone who doesn’t provide that personal information to google. it’s a direct punishment for trying to remain at all anonymous or private. one might ask why companies are so desperate to seek out and FILTER based on gender in the first place.
I don’t like crucifixes where it’s ambiguous how Jesus is attached to the cross. I also don’t like statues of a tortured dying man, but the unpleasantness of that mitigated somewhat by seeing it so much. But this?
What’s keeping him there
