Oh, and as for the claim that "Tiki can be anything" people are more tolerant than "Tiki purists"; if that were true, would there have even been a shit storm to begin with?
Not having seen any of the Facebook discussion and therefore having no knowledge of what was said by whom, I shouldn't have made this comment.
Maybe that ignorance also why I don't get why this is so controversial; the content and context of the graphic and the rum website is focused on "tiki bars" and not "tiki culture":"A guide for those who want to know..."
"Recommended percentages! Not cast in stone!"
"Very simply put, a Tiki bar distinguishes itself from generic tropical bars by using the Tiki figure as its main theme."
"The focus on the main elements is important, with a nice mix of the supporting ideas. On the borders, but outside of Tiki style, are personal preferences like Pirates, Shriners, Rock-a-billy, Monsters or Star Wars décor. You find these things in modern Tiki bars, even if they are obviously not authentic. To each his own: The Tiki genre is very creative, open and playful, yet it does have its heritage and history."
