Dang, before Tiki Central was back up I got a lot of info from Critiki. Humuhumu even posted stuff about how Tiki can be problematic which was helpful for me to read.

The people I have met through tiki are some of the nicest people I have ever met. People who have fun, buy me (a stranger) drinks at a tiki bar, give me advice or tell fun stories. There's a lot of camaraderie here and people who want to help each other support their hobby to the fullest. So I think we can have conversations about tiki and problematic social/historical implications while not cancelling this hobby and the cool people that support it. We have a desire to escape and create fantastical worlds that engage our senses and bring a sense of unity (through immersion) for a moment, and tiki does a great job of that.

Lots of good points here
